Half-Pint. *L* This was probably one of the most popular series on television during its time. With endearing characters, heart-felt sentiments, and clever stories which were executed with laid back passion (if you can dig it), this was one of those family shows for which many families would gather 'round the TV after dinner, to watch together.
The series ran for only 9 years, but they were my formative years, so it kind of stuck with me. The lessons were every day social niceties, and sometimes the larger societal issues of the day would be raised and "Tigger'ed" to the floor, usually by way of either "Half-Pint," or Michael Landon's character jumping into the fray with whatever nemesis there was to tackle.
This was a wholesome show, which taught moral lessons through entertainment. We need more of these, today, I think.
This was a period run, set in the settler and post-settler days of these here United States *L*, so I don't know if it is even possible for this series to become dated. Like the Waltons, anytime I catch an episode, it looks and feels just like it always did.
This series rates a 6.4/10 from...
