Tomorrow night, that new Ed Friendly “Little House on the Prairie” miniseries or movie (I haven’t been paying much attention) will air on ABC. I’m sure that the minute it’s over, LIW fans everywhere will run to the computer to put in their two cents’ worth about it by comparing it to whatever Laura they know and love.
Will it be like “Beyond the Prairie” – annoying yet temporary? Will it be entertaining or become a constant thorn in our sides? At the very least, it’s going to add yet another Laura Ingalls to our collection of them: historical, mythical, book, tv, tv movie… Why can’t somebody make the effort to give us documentary Laura?
