The Ingalls Family

 THE INGALLS FAMILY: UNIVERSAL TELEVISION SERIES

The American television series "The Ingalls Family" (known as Little House on the Prairie in English) was produced and broadcast by NBC between 1974 and 1983. It's inspired by the famous book series of the same name, written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The television adaptation emerged following the success of a television film of the same name, which premiered in 1973.
During the 1982-1983 season, the series was presented under the new title "Little House: A New Beginning". In 2005, a new version of the series was made with a different cast.
The series originated in the early 1970s, when producer and television executive Ed Friendly read Laura Ingalls Wilder's short autobiography. Fascinated by his narratives of life on the American border, he teamed up with Michael Landon to create a pilot for television. When Landon offered to play Charles Ingalls, NBC realized they had the ingredients needed to make a successful series. With a free adaptation of the short original books, "The Ingalls Family" premiered and achieved exceptional ratings. For nine years, this story about life on the western and northern border of America in the 19th century was very well received by audiences.
