Little House on the Prairie Trivia Quiz

It lasted from 1974-1983, and is tied with the Waltons as the second longest running family television show in history (Seventh Heaven recently completed its tenth season, one season longer). Little House on the Prairie was a show we loved to watch. The children loved and honored their parents and loved each other. The parents loved each other, stayed together, disciplined their children with love, and even respected them. Some might say it was a show unlike many family shows made today and was, perhaps, a little better. How much do you know about this classic television show? Take this trivia quiz and find out.
