Review of Little House: The Last Farewell

I agree with some of the other reviewers. It wasn't necessary to end the series in this way. They could have done a story that left viewers with a positive image to remember. This story was a big build up to a complete letdown. At first, everyone was determined to fight the evil man who had "bought" Walnut Grove. Ultimately, everyone accepts defeat, and prepares to leave their beloved town. Not without leaving their mark, however. Everybody blows up all the houses before they depart the town! Was some form of satisfaction to be taken from this? I don't think so. Reportedly, the "explosive" ending was Michael Landon's personal reaction to the series being cancelled. Landon should have left his personal feelings out of it.
