Agreed. The series was shamelessly sentimentalized and given proper PC deodorizing to make it primetime audience friendly. The books were emphatically not sugar-coated tripe. The series is based on the books, its not an adaptation of the books. No--the series took the novels as the basis, but is very freely adapted from them. Just for an example, read some of the books' descriptions of Pa Ingalls--quite different in Wilder's written portrayal from the Disneyfied version the show gave us in the person of Michael Landon.

How many other regular or semi-regular characters (NOT guests) are TOTALLY fictional like Albert?

I enjoy this show though there is a lot of fakeness in this show I never understood why Charles always got his ribs broken So we could see his chest.

I read somewhere there was a fair bit of blow going around on the set too, which was in direct contrast to the squeaky clean image of the Ingalls. whaaaaaat?
