"Little House on Prairie"
Little House on the Prairie was the second in a series of beloved children's books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and was first published in 1935. The books are recollections from Wilder's childhood in the Midwest of the United States during the end of the 19th century. The books were also the basis of a television series of the same name, which ran from 1974 to 1984, starring Michael Landon.
On "Monsterpiece Theater", the book is spoofed with a house on Prairie Dawn.
The show was referenced in the first episode of Muppets Tonight, appearing on the KMUP schedule as "Little Mouse On the Prairie".
