I don't know if I've seen this pilot all the way through since the time it first aired back in 1974 or whenever, and maybe I didn't even see it then, although I watched LITTLE HOUSE on the initial run and think it is likely that I did see the pilot. Just watched it now, though, and I think it may be the best pilot episode of any TV series that I've seen. Perhaps it is because it is almost exclusively the main characters (including Mr. Edwards, who I think of as a main character of the series) is why it is so good - the relationships between characters are well-established and even things that would be referred to later in the series, such as Mr. Edwards' "can't stand for no peeking" and "Old Dan Tucker" are already a part of the lives of the Ingalls' family.
The Pilot episode is my FAVORITE of the whole series, and not many stations that have aired the reruns show it...I love how it follows the book and introduces us to everyone and their personalities in such a short amount of time...Everyone seems to have excellent chemistry with each other and it seems to come out and shows throughout the series. I really love how Caroline softens towards Mr. Edwards and their friendship only grows from there...I also loved how they used Mr. Edwards phrases to Laura and the others just as the book tells us...
