During the 1982–83 television season, it was broadcast with a new title, Little House: A New Beginning. Michael Landon was the star and executive producer of the show and also directed the largest number of episodes—eighty-seven! And I was Laura (lucky girl). How do I even find the words to describe what the early years of filming Little House on the Prairie were like? It was fun. Pure, unadulterated fun! Every day was a new adventure for me, playing dress-up in prairie clothes and working with such a warm and talented cast and crew. We quickly became a family. The crew was very close. Some of them had worked together for decades—and a few of them had worked with Mike on Bonanza. Michael Landon was our boss, our father, and our mentor. Kent McCray was his co–executive producer, sergeant at arms, and best friend. Together they created an atmosphere of loyalty and the best kind of creativity. They also allowed us to have fun while we were working. Actually, Mike didn’t just allow fun—he rather insisted on it.
