Linwood Boomer credits Landon’s set ethics for shaping his kid-first TV approach

Linwood Boomer, who played Adam Kendall on Little House on the Prairie, says Michael Landon ran a kid-friendly set with strict adherence to child-labor rules and hours that let kids be kids, a approach he carried into creating Malcolm in the Middle to protect his young cast; Boomer also pointed to Landon’s example as foundational to how he runs productions today, and notes renewed interest in a Little House reboot that leans closer to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books.
