Bill Kurtis and the Little House on the Prairie

TV broadcaster Bill Kurtis is in the middle of a lawsuit that involves the iconic Little House on the Prairie series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder that was turned into a popular TV show in the 1970s. Family Friendly Productions, the firm that made that series that starred Melissa Gilbert and Michael Landon, has sued Little House on the Prairie Inc., the non-profit that operates the museum, a gift shop and Web site on a site where Wilder lived between 1869-1871 and that Kurtis now owns.

Kurtis, based in Chicago, is confident that the suit, filed in a Los Angeles court, will be dismissed.
