The Little House on the Prairie books helped create an impressive TV legacy, but the entire onscreen franchise exists because of a book rights scandal that came to public attention in the late 90s. Based on the bestselling children’s books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the first TV adaptation of Little House on the Prairie was one of the most influential Westerns of all time, largely thanks to the vision of Ed Friendly and Michael Landon. The genre was starting to die down when the show came out, and it revived interest, expanding Westerns from gunslinger cowboys to homesteading pioneers.
