Shows that feel likeLittle House on the Prairie (1974–1983)

When the big woods of Wisconsin becomes a difficult spot for hunting, Charles Ingalls reluctantly decides to move his family, pioneering west. Their life on the farm in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, in the 1870s and 1880s is full of adventure, tragedy, and triumph. Based on the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

If you loved Little House on the Prairie, the closest series we have are Planet Earth II (2016), Full House (1987) and El Chapulín Colorado (1973). All three share Little House on the Prairie's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bewitched (1964).
