For those of you who enjoyed my Hamster Dance on the Prairie and Horror Recut Trailer Little House videos I made, I decided to upload a video I put together about a month ago as I think a lot of you will enjoy seeing it. To give a little background, shortly after Christmas I was watching some old episodes of DALLAS with a friend of mine. Somewhere during the day we started talking about classic shows and I brought up Little House. Well, he made some disparaging remarks about the show, but when I asked him if he'd seen any episodes he told me he hadn't. Asking what it would take for him to give the show a try, he said, "When it has an opening like that," and pointed to DALLAS.
Well... wish granted.
I decided to edit a DALLAS-style intro for Little House, plugged it onto the beginning of the Little House movie, and he laughed so much when he saw it that he decided to give the film a try. If you've never seen the DALLAS intro, here's a video of one of the openings from that show to give you a frame of reference (I doubt my video will make sense unless you've seen the source material I had to draw from):
And here is the video I put together:
I hope you enjoy it!

It's pretty cool. Good job. Too bad they didn't do something like that at the time.

I am in the floor! Thanks for doing that. I only wish more people would give the show a "try". SO, did your friend start with the pilot or a certain episode? I am thinking about telling my two teen boys that for mother's Day I want them to watch Little House. I think they will offer to pool their money pretty quick to do anything but that......
DO more Jon....loved it!

I loved it, Jon! It was very entertaining. If I wasn't a fan already, that intro would certainly make me want to watch.

Glad you all enjoyed it!
Gin, he watched the pilot movie. Afterward, he told me "it wasn't as bad" as he thought it was going to be. I don't think the series gained a new fan, but it at least silenced a critic.

Me too! Wow, that was fantastic....I have a grin from ear to ear!
I was in fifth grade during the "Who shot J.R." thing...I'll never forget all of us little kids deliberating over it at recess!! Gosh, has there ever been anything in TV as big as that?!?!

Rob, I don't know what would be harder in editing... getting a horse and buggy to go warp speed or editing Michael Landon's voice to say, "Walnut Grove... the final frontier."

OR Jon, maybe Fresh Prince of Belair.....instead of Will Smith at the door throwing his head around, maybe Mr. Edwards! We need a rap to the Little House music....I see Rev. Alden in a muscle shirt with the collar of course. OR our gentle giant (Jonathan Garvey) rocking all the babies, to our rap beat. Hester Sue and Joe Kagan going out on the town....

Does this mean that we can start asking "Who shot Mr. Edwards?"

Well, if so then Larry you can play the part. Better go wash the plaid shirt.

Wow, this is awesome! Very nice Jon!
I remember that I also did a LHOTP intro using a different theme... I just don't remember what it was, and I lost the video! Does anyone remember??
Again, nice job man!

Here is the thread from the old forum that talked about that post on the Introduction Themes. I lost my video though and nowhere to be found :(
I'll see if I can do another one one of these days...

I remember it. I had it saved on my old pc, but I don't have it anymore.
Well, I guess technically I do. The old pc is in the closet.

Wow that was fantastic, Jon. I always thought the Dallas theme was pretty uplifting and adding the Little House stars has made it more so. Thanks. You definitely have a great talent there!
