• Netflix's Little House On The Prairie CHANGED Another Classic!

    From Ubiquitous@3:633/10 to All on Mon Jul 20 04:30:43 2026
    Netflix's Little House on the Prairie reboot premieres in 2026 with
    showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine openly describing her intent to reframe
    Laura Ingalls Wilder's frontier story around modern values ? inventing
    ten major supporting characters absent from the original novel,
    rewriting Caroline Ingalls' marriage as a feminist equality arc, and
    making the show's primary antagonist family defined by their church
    attendance and desire for social order. While some critics' complaints
    were wrong ? the Black doctor character appears in Wilder's own 1935
    novel ? a scene-by-scene comparison of the book and the series reveals systematic changes to the marriage, the faith content, and the Osage
    storyline that go well beyond historical correction into ideological
    reframing of America's most beloved pioneer story.

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    The correct answer is "Nobody gets Netflix!!"

    I even saw a thread about this in r/television - those guys used to be hardcore "cope" defenders of Netflix ("But they're the biggest! They
    keep adding subscribers! They're the only ones who are profitable!") but
    even in r/television this time, I didn't really see anyone defending
    Netflix and lots of people trashing Netflix for garbage programming
    (let's face it - their originals are pretty much all trash, or end up
    that way) which they inevitably cancel after 1-2 seasons anyway.

    That, and the elimination of their original pay tier which I was in is
    what drove me from Netflix to never look back.
