I'm two years older than Melissa, my sister and I watch Little House on the Prairie all the time!! I still watch it!! I have all the books. My sister and I are about two years apart. I lost her in 2008, so hard. But when I watch this show, just brings back so many good memories!! Love these two!

[@kerrymetzger5432]

Timothy Busfield (Elliott) and Patricia Wettig (Nancy)were my favorite characters on Thirtysomething...so real. Hope (Mel Harris) was a whiney, high maintenance stay at home mom. She had the best hubby (Michael Steadman) played by Ken Olin, and was never happy. Huge PITA. The last few seasons were brilliant, covering the problems in Nancy’s and Elliot’s marriage, separation, Nancy’s diagnosis of cancer...the acting was incredible, so the “nerd, booger” turned out to be an amazing actor and the 30 something storyline was riveting. Plus ...who in God’s name discovered the young actor who portrayed Ethan. ..So well done. I’d love to see a reunion of all the characters, great series, which I watch every winter on the DVD set my kids got me for Christmas years ago,

Gosh it seemed all Melissa did was clean her nails. She seemed very nervous or something.

I just love Melissa. She was so good right out of the gate. Little House is the greatest tv show ever made.

I wish Thirty Something would stream on some channel on TV. That was one of my all time favorite TV shows. I was 30-something when it originally aired. I'd love to watch reruns.

Empty people cling to what actors have to say, the reality is Melissa Gilbert is a severely troubled woman, multiple marriages, drug addiction and tax fraud just to name a few things.......Little House was a good show but it was just a SHOW.

[@Michelle-pn9xt]

Yet, you are the one watching her video. She is not watching you or bothering you. Do you think she needs your permission to exist? This is a video about Timothy and Melissa. Watch something else.

Timothy, Thirty Something helped me get through my 30’s, and raising little ones. I really wish for a Sixty Something, a reunion to visit how boomers are navigating aging. It would be so awesome. Think about it? ✌️

[@gigid9606]

I agree!!! Both actors have helped me through those years and are like old friends, and would LOVE to see some 60 something shows!

[@ji5055]

this is a princess with her prince. Finally. All she wanted was love and understanding. To let people know she's human. Many people feel they need permission from the world. She is one of those people that no matter what she does we will always love her. I just love every single thing about her. It hurts and bothers me that I will never know her in person. She changed my life when I was a little girl. It was the only kind of a family I known

Tim Busfield is my hero. I was in front of him, looking into my truck's side mirror, very distressed after seeing my doc. Tim just looked straight into my mirror and smiled. Made everything better. Loved him in 30 Something. Melissa and he are such a great couple.

[@kathenavarro6850]

I had a cigarette with him years ago at a Sacramento Kings game. We both went outside to smoke and we were the only ones out there. We had a casual conversation about the game. I didn't ask him anything about show biz or even acknowledge who he was. I figured he was just there to enjoy the game. I wanted to respect that.
