    • Trivia
      After MGM acquired the show from Paramount, the crew tore up old sets that were used for MGM productions to make room for the new sets that were needed for the show. When Michael Landon removed flooring from one of the old sets, he uncovered the Yellow Brick Road from The Wizard of Oz (1939), which was still intact. Melissa Gilbert and the other kids got extremely excited when they recognised it.
    • Goofs
      After 'Nellie's' restaurant is renamed 'Caroline's', the name in the window goes back and forth between the two in subsequent episodes.
    • Quotes

      Mrs. Oleson: [to her husband, who is holding a shotgun, when they catch daughter Nellie with her new husband] Nels - make her a WIDOW!

    At Long Last, DVD

    Huzzah! The first set of DVDs of this most tantalizing program are on their way.

    It goes without saying that Michael Landon was a major figure head in the television industry, starting with Bonanza, following with Little House on the Prairie, and culminating in Highway to Heaven. His legacy will live on forever.

    The DVDs are released just short of the pearl (30th) anniversary of this great series.

    Once again, Huzzah!
