Today I had the chance to go back in time to Walnut Grove in 1880. It was the 50th anniversary cast reunion of Little House on the Prairie in Simi Valley. It was a big festival meet and greet with the cast members. My favorite was the bus ride to the original location where they film a Little House on the Prairie, Walnut Grove, and the Ingles house, it was an incredible experience to see the places where they filmed the TV show 50 years ago. I had an incredible time.
They said the wildlife & snakes made it a liability to have people off the buses. If you noticed at the ingall’s house there was a snake wrangler there the whole time. I hope that helps.
Your photos made this tour of Little House on The Prairie well worth it. Excellence on your part. The best part of this tour was the mannequins, not that great, but much better than those "billboard" fake props. Again excellence on your part. Thank you.
My favorite show ever.. then Brady Bunch, then Roseanne
That's so awesome.. I love that show it's one of my favorites ..we need to go back to that time. Wholesomeness
Great show Mike! You made me cry you big jerk! Loved it. Thanks Gman!
I used to live about 1 mile from Big Sky Ranch and rode my mountain bike thru those movie sets up until 2021, and moved back east. Awesome video Mike!
I still watch all the episodes till this day
German in Venice it was so nice meeting you in the prop building while you were filming. I was so happy to see ( I was the one with the cold hand when I shook your hand, it was really cold outside)you that I forgot to take a picture with you. Maybe next time I happen to bump into you. It was a great event and everyone there was so nice and it was awesome to hear the places people came from for this event.
Thank you for this video and blessings to you.
❤❤❤
Such a fun tour. I’m still watching reruns of Little House! Thanks for taking us along!
In the 90's id wake up early around 6ish to watch one or two episodes of the show with my Aunt. She wouldve been in her late 50''s and wouldve known a lot about the lifestyle of the Ingles, having been raised on a farm herself in the 50's. It warmed my heart, we all laughed and cried many times. The charm and sincerity of the show still lives with me. Decided today to rewatch the entire series on Amazon Prime with my wife who never saw it as a kid. Didnt realize its the show's 50th anniversary!
Danke Mike. Was für eine Zeitreise. Ich habe alle Folgen geschaut .❣
Thank you for such great coverage. Takes me right back to my childhood.
As a kid in the 1970s I watched "Unsere kleine Farm" too on German TV. 🤩
wir schauen noch immer!- auf sat1 ;-))
@@izom ich auch! Das ist meine kleine heile Welt in dieser grausamen Welt
Great childhood memories watching the show!❤
WOUNDERFUL MIKE ENJOYED THE SHOW THANKS FOR TAKING US👍💯💪
Thanks for taking us along, Mike! Great video, appreciate it
How ironic that not far from the Ingall's family ranch location is the real-life Manson family Spawn ranch location (the other side of the mountains). Simi Valley is a really cool location, many films and T.V. shows were filmed there, how amazing is it that it hasn't been developed into track housing by now, let's hope it remains off limit to developers. Great job, Thanks for GiVing !!!!👍👍
That’s amazing! Thanks for that info.
Allison Arngrim used to give tours there. I am not sure about now. I believe it was part of the same tour group called "Dearly Departed".
Great show. I'm glad they built those scenic flats to at least know where the old buildings were.
I watched all episodes of the little house ❤❤❤❤❤
Little House On The Prairie was my very favorite TV show and it was sad that Michael destroyed all the buildings! He was my very favorite TV Dad. Really enjoyed your video. I bet that was really awesome and cool getting to see where Little House was filmed.
Thank you for sharing this for all of us who couldn’t be there, but wanted to ❤
What a cool video and experience, Mike🤍I used to love watching Little House on the Prairie when I was a kid🌸Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Norway
This is what I’ve always imagined what heaven is like. With all my family and animals are waiting for me. Can’t wait to see them all one day. 😊
Jesus is the only way to heaven.
With all the rain California is getting, Simi Valley looks like just the 1970s when "Little House on the Prarie" was filmed.
The reason Michael Landon blew everything up was because he was mad they canceled the show and didn't want anyone else to use his sets. A replica of the sets was built but later burned down in a fire
G.I.V. Outstanding video… Brings back a lot of memories when I was a little boy watching this. I am almost the same age as MELISSA Gilbert.❤
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Argentina.
Vielen Danke!!!! This video was wonderful. Thank you for sharing!
I never really knew that many people liked this show. I loved it as a kid 😊
One of my favorites!
It was so wholesome, even the characters seemed like you know similar people in real life. Like the sneaky mean girl Nellie. I had a school mate just as mean.
I've seen most of the episodes but to be honest I preferred series like Starsky & Hutch, Columbo and Cannon.
Even the reruns are better than the perfect law police shows today
I'm a new subscriber and love all your Little☺️House Coverage ALL PRICELESS💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
It’s 10 miles from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. They do give tours for people in the tv and film industry looking for a location. MASH was filmed in Malibu Canyon
Great video GIV! Your picture match-up really made the tour pop. I can't believe it has been 50 years. Wow!
I just love this show. I watched it as kid, and now I watch it with my kids.
You are so lucky to have been able to go on the bus tour. Word is that they might open up this area for more tours in the future. That would be great! My name is John and I got to meet you at the end of the day on Saturday along with that other guy who does music videos. You sir are the coolest!
p.s. I'm going to share this to Facebook
What a fantastic adventure!!!!🤗
I get it. I would be emotionally grateful to have been there. I have the best memories of this show. From my childhood and to now.
Wow i think i saw every episode back in the 90s so many memories of bieng a carefree young boy. Watching tv with mom
In 1962 i met Michael Landon here in Sweden. He was singing in the Folkpark. He was very popular. I remember that because I got a foto and autograf. 😊
Wow! Var i Sverige såg du honom? Vet du vilka städer han besökte? Lucky you! Minns du något av hur han var? Har bara sett klipp från hans besök här.
Wow jag trodde att det bara va jag som följer The G.I.V från Sverige 😀 ha en trevlig kväll/natt.
@@GuinevereKnight åh, jag minns inte så mycket av mötet. Jag var 8 år 😁 Minns jag tyckte han var jättesnygg! Har för mig han var i Västerås Folkets park.
@@sebbkovic4224 Haha, jag tycker annars att vi svenskar poppar upp lite varstans på YT. Tack detsamma! :)
@@ewahsusi Tack så mycket för svar, har aldrig haft kontakt med någon som träffat honom (och här hemma också!). Även om du var åtta år, stort! Han var oerhört stilig, det minns du nog helt rätt! ;) Har sett honom bli intervjuad i svensk TV när han var här och önskat så att jag varit med då och kunnat se honom. Lyllos dig! Underbart att du har foto och autograf kvar som minnen. Ha det fint! 😊
Schöne Erinnerungen. Unsere kleine Farm 👍😎
Cool man! German In Walnut Grove!! hehe I grew up watching it too I know just what you mean! I hope someone does see this and can get you on the lot. You are the one person that should be able to do it just to line the pictures up as that is a very cool thing you do!
This is so cool! I was unable to attend which made me sad but your videos of this awesome Anniversary have made me happy! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤😊
Thanks for this video! I loved the show. I would watch it with my dad every week. It is one of the greatest shows ever on tv, and we sure need something like it today!
The original "Little House on the Prairie" is featured in the pilot episode at the end when the family lands in Kansas, and builds a little log cabin house on the prairie there. Unfortunately, that little house was built on Indian land and the Chief told the family they had to leave. They left for Minnesota after that, and settled in a 2 story house in Walnut Grove.
GiV is the real superstar of Hollywood
That's the sadest tour I've ever seen. Practically cardboard cut outs. I would want my money back. That's pathetic.
I love than show to am sew happy for you mike you got to see it and take you for the videos ❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😊😊
My inner child is so triggered!!! Thanks Mike! Appreciate this. ❤
What pretty blue eyes you have. My grandparents immigrated to USA back in the 1920's from germany.
Gives good memories of the mid 70s watching it on TV as a kid...
I live a very short drive from Walnut Grove, MN and I'm embarrassed to say I've never done a video there, Thanks GIV!!
A beautiful landscape with old trees and tall grass. I really hope it is protected for the future from being destroyed with buildings, asphalt and concrete!
I really enjoyed this video. I also loved watching Little House On The Prairie. I wish I could come to Cali to see it for myself.
Incredible work by GiV as usual.
This is bizarre. It’s kind of creepy. How they present it to everyone. Having those dummies dressed up. Also the 2 dimensional buildings. Odd. Really odd. Hmmmm……….
Thank you very much, very exciting.
It was my reason to live Ihave spent my childhood watching
I’m turning 60 in 2 weeks, This was really cool too see, Thanks for sharing.
The picture that you used to match the blind school was wrong. The picture you used is the house os Laura and Almanzo when they received it from their old lady friend when she died. The blind school was used for the Frank and Jesse James episode with Mary.
Some of the film locations here look like they could have been filmed in the Mojave desert or the antelope valley. Mike your next video should be on the super bloom at the poppy fields in the Antelope valley off of the 14 fwy. You could also get some shots of the famous film locations like the church from kill bill from Quentin Tarantino
Hi Mike I was born and raised in Hawthorne California....I would do what you do always....have fun and be you
GIV you know the owners of the property could have made a killing if they kept the buildings and added a museum what a tourist attraction it would have been 🤔
I worked on making those plywood cutouts of the now destroyed movie sets! This tour is a joke! Nothing to see but our cheaply made plywood cutouts and a couple of mannequins! If you're up close to those cutouts they look like shit up close!
Anything is possible!!!!!! Don’t dream it …be it!!!! I believe you will accomplish everything you want Mike! I wasn’t a big fan of the show but watching you enjoy it so much was all the entertainment I needed for the day! Good job photo matching! Thank you! P.S. I still have your Oscar Rock!
Thank you for this video GIV!!! I love the side by side pictures!!!
Excellent thank you I'm a teenager again 😄😘🤗 stormy .
I lived north and west of Walnut Grove MN. for a few years in the 70's. We always got a laugh at the locations they used.
That’s hilariously the most lame tour I’ve seen. Hope you didn’t pay much Mike! They should pay you to be there
Really enjoyed this video Mike. It brought back wonderful memories. I remember the town being blown up in the last episode like it was yesterday. So emotional. Nicely done.
Great, great video, Mike! Thanks!
Who owns all the property now. is it still used by studio,looks like the dukes of hazzard set also..
GIV well done this was brilliant just as the show was thanks for showcasing 😊
I had the great honor of working on all the facades that you saw in the video. I helped to draw them on blank buildings and also helped to paint them, and finally did all the satin finish that went onto them to preserve them. In addition I was a tour guide for the tour that went to Big Sky Ranch during the special 50th anniversary event. Also, the host asked about touring the facades again. Big Sky Ranch is planning to offer more tours of the facades we are just waitng for this to be set up.
The nature is beautiful, the rest is just a few "fake" images, very sad.
Great job lining up the photos with the video!
I agree. They should have kept the original buildings and make it great historical tour. It doesn't look like they have plans to do anything else with the land so why not?
Emotional Video Mike ....
Taken me straight back to my childhood days and memories of this incredible show ❤️
Hard to believe its been 50 years since it started....
Good Stuff
Cheers 🎙🎶🥂
Have enjoyed this video! I hope someone reaches out to you so you can go back to Walnut Grove.
This was so nice GIV, vielen herzlichen Dank
I didn't like this show as a kid. Now I'm binging the entire show on Peacock. Obsessed! Is this an ongoing tour or just a one time thing?
Landon Family Walk Values- More energy spent the better the Show. I appreciate Michael Landon.
Oh wow, I got chills when you showed your feet standing on the grounds of the original house. I can only imagine how thrilled you must have felt! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us! You are so appreciated!! ❤😊
your so lucky GIV
A wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing
I loved the show just like i loved , the waltons
they use 2 do tours but u have 2 contact someone
I remember Laura with her pet raccoon 😊
Thank you for this, Mike! Amazing to see after 50 years of its beginning in 1974. I am a fan of the show and saw it in its entirety when it originally was on the air growing up
in the '70s and into 1983 when it finally ended with season 9. 7:51, that looks more like the mansion that Laura and Almonzo were living in near the end of the show.
Laura worked for this wealthy, elderly lady that lived alone and when she passed away, she gave it to Laura. Laura and Almonzo had to blow it up to keep
it out of the hands of the real estate men that bought the land on which Walnut Grove's buildings were standing. He and his men demanded that all citizens vacate the buildings
and town. The citizens banded together in the final episode and told him, you may own the land on which Walnut Grove stands, but you don't own the buildings. Then, proceeded
to blow them up, one by one, with the exception of the church/schoolhouse with the liberty bell.
Why can't they get off the bus? It's fair. People c ome a long way
All the snakes, wildlife, etc... it's too much of a liability is what I was told 🙄
THANK YOU GIV!!! this is my favorite show of all time and i was soo sad i couldn't be there i knew you'd come through and post some great videos!! so glad i met the cast in Texas last year❤❤❤
How cool! I watched this with my mom and absolutely loved the show! My cousin was named Laura after the main character.
Thanks for sharing this, GiV.
Once in a life time youll ever c this!!! ❤❤❤❤❤Youre so lucky!!! I should b in California TY like always!!! Youre the BEST!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and taking us along!!🙏🏻🙏🏻 It's amazing to see the actual site they filmed at!!
At 7:50 you have the wrong picture of the blind school by the way. The house you showed was Laura and Almanzo's house.
I love this video. Thank you for sharing your emotional experience On Little House On The Prairie rememberence. ❤️
A beautiful valley I hope it stays just that way & is never developed. If it were government as in a state park it would be open to the public & as a WMA it would NEVER be allowed to become developed. Thank You *GIV* named *Mike* this was a fun tour you shared w/ us who can't be there ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing Mike. Thanks so much for taking us along ❤
For decades, a 6-acre site known as the “burn pit” at the Santa Susana Field Lab near the crest of the Simi Hills at the western border of the San Fernando Valley was used by Rocketdyne workers who dumped large amounts of radioactive pollutants, chemicals and explosives into the open pit. On 30 March 2018, a seven-year-old girl living in Simi Valley died of neuroblastoma, prompting public urging to thoroughly clean up the site. Experts have said, however, that there is insufficient evidence to identify an explicit link between cancer rates and radioactive contamination in the area.
Thank you for this! I had no idea it was filmed at Big Sky Ranch. I was lucky to film 2 movies up there in the summer of 2022 and I kept making jokes that my costume made me feel like “a dirty Laura Ingalls Wilder” 😭
Maybe I had a sense about it? Who knows!
And the movies we shot up there are Rebel Moon part 1 and 2 🙌🏼
Loved when Mr Olson cut off Harriet head episode and when Charles gets an inheritance and cant forget Miss Sullivan Restaurant
