How did the WorldVision ownership change of years past affect “Little House” on TBS?
For obvious reasons, TBS Superstation no longer airs “Little House” from their schedule. In 2003, a new syndicated run of the show was purchased by The Hallmark Channel, and is now seen on that channel weekdays (check your local listings). As of the present day, it continues to air on that channel. However, in 2005, Viacom’s TVLand network acquired the broadcast rights to “Little House” and, like Hallmark, continues to air the series. 9. Why did such-and-such character appear once and then was never heard from again? There were a lot of characters (especially school children) who appeared on the show and then for some mysterious reason were never heard from again. A few key examples are Liam O’Neil (from season one) and Dr. LeDoux & Elmer Miles (from season eight). While their fates were never really explained on the show, we hope that the Little House Encyclopedia has done its best to fill in the gaps. The general term for characters appearing only once is “a one-shot appearance”. 10.
