1. Introduction & Context La familia Ingalls ( Little House on the Prairie ) aired its second season from September 10, 1975, to March 31, 1976. Based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s semi-autobiographical "Little House" book series, the show was created and produced by Michael Landon (who also played Charles Ingalls).
