They really don’t make shows like Little House anymore. That show was about resilience, family, community, faith and overcoming hardships…what a gem packed with good values.

[@SRose-vp6ew]

It’s a show that was over already by the time I was born, but I watched it in reruns with my mom and now after finding the DVD’s at a thrift shop my husband and I watch it with our kids. Truly a show that stands the test of time.

[@sandrachank6982]

My daughter is 50 this year. She watched so many of these shows. Good lessons and wholesome content. ❤

[@alisonfraser8231]

She’s still so cute and pretty in a natural and graceful way. It makes me feel confident in my ageing process to see women looking and feeling their best in maturity.

[@robinoftheelves]

She bravely broke away from the sickness & unhealthy underpinnings of That industry -- and I couldn’t agree more-- she is an inspiration to us women in a certain age group! 🎉

[@lex6819]

She looks amazing and so confident

[@risaandjesus]

I love that show as a kid in the 70s. I still watch it as a grown adult. I love the old fashioned wholesomeness and it’s inspiring. Even the Bible is mentioned. Thank u for being a voice for women over 50. We really have priceless wisdom, survived through tough times and have a lot to give and share to the world.

[@alexcisyk8884]

I agree 100percent!!!!

[@maildeliverysubsystemmaile9178]

@@alexcisyk8884 Me too! I made my three kids watch it! 😊

[@lex6819]

Me too. When I was little everyone told me I looked like Melissa Sue Anderson.

[@mishkalarsoncreations]

We can reinvent ourselves! At 62 I started sewing again after I could finally get a sewing machine after the worst of the pandemic. 8 months later I’m rescuing textiles and making one-of-a-kind jackets and bags. Thank you Ms. Gilbert for keeping g it real!

[@christinamellow9824]

I love melissa gilbert i'm glad that the shows celebrating their 50 th anniversary congradulations to the whole cast and crew.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@aandjintucsonazusa9490]

I love Little House. I'm 55 and still enjoy watching it. Melissa looks so pretty and vibrant. I love her positive energy. I'm definitely going to check out Modern Prairie. Love the bonnet.

[@clairefoxgloves4824]

Melissa Gilbert looking fantastic and I'm so glad she's doing well and I loved Little House on the Prairie, they were great and always meaningful stories, she's a brilliant actress and it's so nice to still recognise 'Laura's' voice!! Keep going Melissa, you're beautiful and seeing you today by chance on You Tube has cheered my heart!!

[@littlejoe9381]

Amén.

[@birdsfan57]

Melissa Gilbert looks at least 40 years younger than her actual age. So glad she " escaped" the insanity that IS Hollywood and is living her BEST life. Michael Landon would be proud of her!

[@birdsfan57]

Meant 20 years...LOL

[@MC-cw5ph]

​@@birdsfan57.......🤭

[@MC-cw5ph]

​@@birdsfan57....... and the disrespectful, mean previous husband. I rejoice in the special love she now has with her current husband who adores her for the queen she is.

[@littlejoe9381]

One of my favorite television shows. I have the complete series on DVD. Still watch it from time to time. Long live Melissa Gilbert and her family. 🙂

[@hehasrisen1990]

I love this idea. It’s true older people need more presence in the market

[@Cicilo1983]

Elderly have become to only social group that society allows itself to openly discriminate. It's sickening. When they realize that they DO drive the economy (and behave as such), they'll hopefully empower themselves.

[@der22672]

Back in 1974, my 9 year old self, the typical boy, and my younger brother couldn’t get into Little House. But I remember my mom and older sister watched it religiously. I think we watched more shows on ABC than any other network. 😂😂. But as I got older into adulthood, I did watch the show and I could appreciate more than as well. Obviously, I am the same age as Melissa, I will be 60 in February 2024. I think it’s pretty cool that this show has these reunions almost every year for the fans to come to and revisit Little House. I think The Waltons is only other show that I’m aware of as that has these fan events. 😊😊

[@MC-cw5ph]

Der266...... The Andy Griffith Show has annual events as well.

[@just4mygrl413]

I grew up watching the show all the time as well. LOVED the show! I'll be 60 in July. :)

[@patriciariddle2997]

Love her! I grew up on the show. Read all the books. Lots of memories.

[@jenniferkilby4130]

What a beautiful smile Melissa has!

[@kathleentyson6727]

I’ve been binging on Little House for the last month ,I have probably watched the episode when Dean Butlers character “ Manly” finally realizes he loves “ Beth” ,six or seven times now ,I can’t believe it’s been 50 years ,I,loved the series then and I still love it to this day,Dean Butler and Melissa Gilbert had incredible chemistry,I was just watching a video with Butler and Gilbert disgussing that “ first kiss “ she said she was “ terrified “ because she was only 16 and Butler was 23 at the time and Gilbert’s mother was on the set “ sobbing” according to Gilbert and Butler and they had to do three takes ,Little House is a timeless gem in my opinion.

[@sig9girl]

I love that episode! ❤

[@harley8680]

My son just gave me the whole boxed set on DVD for Christmas! 🥰

[@mamawfrancy]

Years ago Little House was one of our favorite shows along with The Waltons, etc. Now we love watching reruns and enjoy their wholesomeness even more.

[@jrdlgofton]

My absolute all time favorite show! Still watch it every day❤

[@tiffanyb.7596]

🥰🥰🥰 Aww I wish the interview could be longer. Love Melissa, and love GMA. Thank you!! 💕

[@tiggerlady2352]

It was good to see Melissa again. She’s still beautiful lady! I love her hair!

[@harley8680]

Love Little House and still have my original books from childhood...just this past Christmas 2023 my oldest son gave me the boxed DVD set for Christmas! Little House series was my childhood and Melissa and I are the same age.

[@sandrac699]

She is so right about wonan i used to a lot of focus groups then when i turned 50 they stopped they only want younger people and the thing is i make all the decision on what we buy for my family (older and proud )

[@clarisahernandez5280]

Her hair is great.

Her voice sounds the same as when she was 9. One of the best shows from the 70’s and 80’s

Good wholesome family entertainment. Back when Hollywood had standards and western society had traditional values. People want this back.

[@cindidelaney4962]

I watched Little House every day after school. Read all the books. I played outside like we lived in that time. I even made my own bonnet. This is so amazing. So glad I found this post.

[@elizabethhjenkins6172]

Nice seeing Melissa Gilbert all grown up and sounding like Half-pint all grown up. Awesome.

[@stellievision]

I know right 😊

[@carajssavannahga8830]

Melissas my sister age and me and my twin are 5 years younger. We watched little house growing up since the pilot. Watched with my mom and dad. It wasa special family night thing back then before video games and cell phones. Great memories.

[@barrybrittain6157]

Wow, Melissa looks fantastic for pushing 60! ❤Still cute! It was my mom's absolute favorite show! She told me her childhood was a lot like that show, she grew up on the farm! Grandpa only had a tractor for transportation so mom walked pretty much everywhere she went! She literally walked a mile to town and back to go to school! I miss her! R.I.P. MOM!✝️❤💙🐦

[@hummybird26]

She looks amazing. I remember growing up in Jamaica, I would do all chores on time Saturdays so I could watch Little House every Saturday night. I use to wish I was Laura.

[@ruthnagarya2028]

I NEVER have enjoyed a show more than Little House on the Prairie, it was truly pure and good..

I'm watching it now (again) and still amazed by the story and all the great actors on the show. It is so authentic and believable that you forget that it is not real life.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video about the 50th anniversary of the little house on the prairie I remember that show all too well sometimes now that I'm 51 and a mental health front line health care worker I use that show for work back in that time period when pioneers were setting into their new adventure and getting established it was a great show

[@Jaquableu]

I love her! Thank you for this segment. Now off to check out modern prairie.

[@vickiwaatti1076]

I just bought her book the other day. As soon as i finish the book by Sean Astin, I am going to read it.

[@pjmiller8632]

Loved ‘Little House on the Prairie’ as a kid too. Such a great family show that taught values, morals, kindness, equality and respect. What show does that for kids now? It’s clearly needed more than ever. Thanks GMA! 🎉

So needed for women in our age group. At 60 you become invisible, even with family. And we have so much we can bring to the table of life. Experience, skills, common sense, lots of love to share. Unfortunately people left us behind and we still have alot to give.
