Pretty much, I must have been the only girl who hated watching little house on the prairie back in the 70s. Pa was a jerk.[/quote]

Were you from a lesbian household?  Give the standard for fathers in the 1970s, I can’t imagine anyone thinking Pa was a jerk by comparison.  He always had that twinkle on his eyes and the cute nickname for his daughter!  I loved my dad a lot but he came home from work and was basically like “is dinner ready?  Turn off the goddam lights in that room.  Do you know what the electricity costs?”  Then spent all weekend trying to fix the dishwasher or replace the carburetor so our car would work.  Everyone in the 70s was basically stressed out and in a bad mood.  When we saw kids running down a flowery hill with pa laughing, and no one worried about the electrical bill or eating canned peas, that all looked pretty good.  [/quote]

Nope, my dad fought in WW2, I was a late baby. Sure my dad was stressed out, but he was incredibly stable, especially for the 70s, and didn't up root us to move to the frontier or anything.

I think Michael Landon always gave me the creeps, and I wasn't sure why.

Like I said, I was the only girl I knew who didn't like the show, and I also didn't like the books. Even in elementary school they didn't seem "real" to me. It was a fantasy frontier. The only thing I liked at the time were the prairie dresses.

As an adult I've read more about the author and now understand why I didn't trust that show and her books. [/quote]
