I finally finished Little House on the Prairie today. I sobbed my way through the last season. One of the things I noticed was the music... all throughout the series... gorgeous score and lush background music that moved me to tears many times. The composer was David Rose, a British composer who won an Emmy twice for composing the music on Little House on the Prairie and also for orchestrating Bonanza.
Now I'm working on finishing House, M.D. after that.. I think I'll tackle Hill Street Blues, which I've never seen before.
