2. The Theme Song To Another Hit Show May Sound Familiar To You
Songwriter and composer David Rose was responsible for crafting the recognizable theme to Little House on the Prairie. Did you ever notice any similarities between the theme and another popular television series?
It turns out that Rose was also the one who wrote the theme song to the show Bonanza, which ended in 1973, just a year before Little House on the Prairie aired. If you listen closely to the two themes, you can tell that they do sound similar in some senses.
That isn’t the only connection that Bonanza shares with Little House on the Prairie. Michael Landon, who played Charles Ingalls in the show, also starred in Bonanza as the character Joseph “Little Joe” Cartwright.
