Grandma's House

For some unknown reason, ABC has decided to remake the "Little House On The Prairie" series, at least on a short-term basis. If it does well, they plan to bring it on full-time in the fall. You know as well as I do, the actors will be compared to the original. And I'm afraid they will come up lacking. Of course the original series was schmaltzy, cheesy, syrupy, etc. That was part of its charm. And you can't replace Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert, nor the characters of Nellie, or Mr and Mrs. Olsen. Well, it's their money to throw away.
