The three-hour miniseries was produced by Universal Television and originally aired in two parts on NBC on October 2–3, 1978.
A brief follow-up series aired from February 8 to March 8, 1979. Unlike the miniseries, it featured original storylines not based on Louisa May Alcott’s novels and included a partial cast change. Eve Plumb was among the cast members who returned (although her character Beth had died in the miniseries, as she had in the original book), playing a cousin of the family named Lissa. Six episodes were produced, but the series was cancelled after only four had been broadcast in the US. Nevertheless, the complete series was exported internationally, including to Australia and Italy.
