Wow...had no idea and never saw this. What was the name of the movie, if you know? I would love to catch that sometime.
coriscapnskip...We have discussed this on the forum in the past before you joined here (so you had no way to know that). I don't remember the name of the thread though.
If it helps, someone posted a clip of the movie off of Youtube. I can't recall the title of the thread either at the moment. They did have something based on The Long Winter in this movie, about Laura and Carrie and the other school children being almost lost in a blizzard. Also they had Almanzo and his friend Cap Garland going to get the wheat from a man who had some stockpiled, so the town would not starve.

Richard Thomas was the best thing about those two Little House movies, but my favorite movie of his is The Christmas Box. It isn't Christmas to me without it. I really didn't care for the tv little house movies, except for the disney mini-series(pretty close to the books, except they didn't have baby carrie and they were in kansas during the mini-series). I kinda wish that had continued on. I didn't even know it was around and just recently saw it(it was made in 2004 or 2005). I wish anybody would do a movie about "the long winter" book. It would make such a good movie. I love The Long Winter, and I pull it out and read it nearly every winter, but I didn't do that this year, and now it's spring. Maybe I'll read it anyway. It always makes me feel much better about our own winter. I've watched all those Little House movies, the ones with Richard Thomas and the Disney movies. They were okay, but I could still find lots of things to be critical about. I didn't remember that Carrie wasn't in the Disney mini-series. The real Carrie was actually born in Kansas (Aug. 3, 1870), so she should have been included as a young baby. I'll have to look for them and watch them again. Have any of you ever been to DeSmet, SD, in the summertime and seen the outdoor dramas they present there? They choose one of the books that was set in DeSmet and dramatize it in an outdoors amphitheater that is just below the Ingalls homestead. I've been to several of these, and they are always very good and follow the books very accurately. There is also an outdoor drama in Walnut Grove each year called "Fragments of a Dream" based on the years the Ingalls family lived on Plum Creek near Walnut Grove. It is also very good. DeSmet PageantWalnut Grove PageantI haven't been to either of those places but I'd enjoy looking at the links! The only two "little house" places I've been to is the one in Kansas and her final home in Missouri. Here lately I have been enjoying the website beyond little house website a lot. beyond little house

I would love to see a movie series made. One movie for each LH book like they did with the Harry Potter series.

It would not be that hard to do actually. The place where the LH series was filmed is still available. Other that trees being a bit bigger than they were, it's still owned by the same people that owned it then.

Maybe they could get permission to use the actual homesites even just for exterior shots. They could show the cabin at the Kansas homesite and maybe the actors going into and walking out of it. Do some filming on the open prairie there. The girls could wade in the real Plum Creek or they could show the actual Surveyor's House in DeSmet and build a movie set based on what it looks like inside.

They did this for the most recent movie of Little Women and it was fantastic!

Actually the LHOTP episode where Albert returns home addicted to morphine is coming up soon and I am wondering if the TV channel will decide that it is inappropriate for daytime viewing .

Did they show the episode of The Waltons where Mary Ellen was on drugs? Worse because she was in a medically responsible position.

Nothing implied in that episode either whereas with Sylvia the assault is implied, you dont see her being abused but you see Mary-Ellen going through withdrawals.
