Nominated for 17 Emmys, including one Golden Globe for Best TV Series - Drama, Little House On The Prairie is one of the most popular shows in television history. Based on the autobiographical series of "Little House" books written by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the show explores the inner-workings of a small town and family on the 19th Century American frontier. Director/Co-Executive Producer Michael Landon (of Bonanza and Highway to Heaven fame) also wrote one-third of the episodes (in addition to playing a lead role as the family's father, Charles, when the actor originally cast for the part failed to show). Charles would go on to become one of the show's most popular characters, and Little House On The Prairie would become an American favorite, boasting ten successful seasons to its credit Little House On The Prairie follows the lives of the Ingalls family as they settle on the banks of Plum Creek in the township of Walnut Grove, Kansas during the 1870's. A true pioneer family, the story is seen through the eyes of the Ingalls' middle-daughter, Laura (Melissa Gilbert), who experiences all the normal growing pains and emotions of a young girl growing up on the prairie. Carpenter Charles Ingalls (Michael Landon) and his former school teacher wife, Caroline (Karen Grassle), head up a family of three that includes two additional daughters, Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson) and Carrie (Lindsay & Sidney Greenbush). The town also includes a loveable cast of supporting characters, such as Walnut Grove School teacher Eva Beadle (Charlotte Stewart), town doctor Hiram Baker (Kevin Hagen), pastor Robert Alden (Dabbs Greer), family friend Isaiah Edwards (Victor French), the wealthy Oleson family, and a host of other characters The Little House On The Prairie (Season 6) DVD features a number of dramatic episodes including the season premiere "Back to School" in which Walnut Grove gets a new schoolteacher named Eliza Wilder. Laura falls in love with her brother Almanzo, but is devastated when Nellie invites him over for dinner. Desperate, Laura volunteers to cook the dinner, adding extra spices, and when Nellie takes credit for cooking the dinner, Almanzo ignores her from then on Other notable episodes from Season 6 include "The Preacher Takes a Wife" in which Mrs. Craig and Reverend Alden get married despite the protests of Mrs. Oleson, and "Sweet Sixteen" in which Laura and Almanzo strike up a romance when Almanzo drives her to a nearby town where she is temporarily teaching school Below is a list of episodes included on the Little House On The Prairie (Season 6) DVD: Episode 113 (Back to School: Part 1) Air Date: 09-17-1979
