I started this podcast on a whim 4ish years ago when Chris Hasler and I got into a discussion about LHOTP on our podcast, VHS Rewind! - I recall making the statement, "I think Little House on the Prairie is one of the best tv shows to ever air" which triggered the idea of a podcast! It amazed me that there were people who shared my fondness of this strange and sometimes nearly forgotten tv show! 100 episodes later and I am so honored to have such a wonderful group of listeners! 100 Episodes are a lot of hours of discussing Harriet, Caroline, Nellie, Laura, Carrie, pickles, cast iron, Blanke's coffee (it's high quality I hear!) so I would like to thank all of the people who have participated in recording the episodes with me but especially the people who listen, share, comment and discuss! For those of you who support the podcast, I thank you from a different level as you make it possible to subsidize bloated server fees and things like giveaways, stickers, etc! We ALL thank you! Walnut GroveCast has opened the door to introducing me to people who I now consider real friends, launching new and exciting podcasts as well as other projects and even meeting many of the cast members! Thank you so much for listening and for supporting the show, the best is yet to come! In this episode Amanda joins me to review, Little Women which originally aired on January 24, 1977! "Mrs. Oleson rewrites Alcott's "Little Women" to ensure Nellie is the star in Walnut Grove's school play based on the classic story; but shy Ginny Clark steals the show when, taking a lesson from her character, Jo, to try to get her bitter mother to come to the event, she surprises everyone by playing her part to perfection, both on and off the stage."

Chris Hasler comes out of the woodwork to join me in discussing this remarkably funny collection of short films that follow Pamela, a single woman in NYC who is trying to find where her love of Little House on the Prairie fits into her journey of finding love.

"VHS Rewind hopes that everyone is doing well and staying healthy during these crazy times. We are presenting another all-music show, this time focusing on 1980s soundtrack songs. Here are some of the ground rules: the song must have appeared (i.e. been heard) in a 1980s movie and/or its must have appeared on a soundtrack album for that movie (sometimes it was one or the other). We didn’t take the easy way out (no BEVERLY HILLS COP tunes; no FLASHDANCE tunes, no FAME, no “Power of Love” from BACK TO THE FUTURE). We went for deep, deep, deep cuts on the choice of movies and the songs to feature. For those who grew up in the 1980s, we are certain this episode will being back memories and make you smile (and maybe want to watch some of the featured movies again since you may have forgotten them); if you did not grow up in the 1980s, we are certain this episode will make you wish you did live through the 1980s and make you smile (and maybe want to watch some of the featured movies again since you may not have heard of them). We hope this episode gives you a 90-minute escape from reality and takes you back to the glorious world of 1980s soundtrack music." - Chris Hasler

Happy Halloween Everyone! Today I decided to release this brand new episode on its 40th anniversary, yes, the episode, The Halloween Dream aired 40 years ago today on October 29, 1979! According to IMDB this episode is Often cited by fans and critics as being the worst and/or least popular episode in the series.

For your Consideration was a podcast that Alex Saltz and Mark started back in the summer of 2011, the goal was to review the Pilot episodes of TV shows and Chris Hasler began co-hosting with Mark towards the end of season 1. Eventually, Chris and Mark would end the For Your Consideration show after 24 episodes to start a new show, with a focus on films entitled PhuYuck in January of 2013. PhuYuck would run for a total of 10 episodes before Chris and Mark renamed the show and started over again, with VHS Rewind! which encapsulates ALL retro tv and film.
