There’s no question, Melissa Gilbert was an extraordinarily gifted child actress on Little House.

[@FactsVerse]

She was! What's your favorite episode of the show, Peter?

[@joyce4793]

She was the beginning and the end. The chick is filthy rich !

[@anitagordon7688]

If you look close enough there are several episodes that Melissa Gilbert had a hard time crying especially when Almonzo started the show...

She certainly was. Sometimes, I even got pissed at her. This is how GREAT she was on the show.

I've been watching Little house on the Prairie for decades and still do, I watch it over and over because I have it on DVR, not only because I Luv the series but because it doesn't matter what religion you are, this show makes sure you look towards your Faith and your community if you have it, because you can have one and not the other, so for me, I have my Faith and that means so much to me....

Melissa Sue Anderson had a hard time socializing she kept to her self but one of the reason was that Melissa Sue actually auditioned for the Laura part and her was very mad that she didn't get the lead part so I think her family made her feel like she couldn't be friend I also think that the part Mary was far more challenging to do and Melissa Sue did a great job with that part...

I knew that Melissa and Jonathan were whole siblings, and adopted, but was surprised to hear that they grew apart. I was surprised that Melissa Sue Anderson was so unfriendly. I still watch the show in Georgia on COZI TV and UPTV. I actually have been watching since the program started, and continue to adore it to this day. A lot of people have no idea that the boys that played Albert Ingalls, played by Michael Laborteaux and Patrick Laborteaux played Jonathan Garvey's son are actually BROTHERS. Etta Plum, who was a teacher is Michael Landon's daughter, Leslie Landon. The episode where a boy played an illiterate teen, Abel Makay, was played by Dirk Blocker (Dan Blocker from Bonanza') son. A lot of children in the classroom were the children of some Michael Landon's friends.

I always feel bad for him now since the reports focus and real Melissa's hesitance and fear in playing opposite him but we don't ever hear about how all of this made him feel... To be honest. I heard some pretty cruel stories about how " mean", " hateful" and " cold", Melissa Gilbert treated him on the set. I heard she was Down right awful to him. My Dad worked in the industry in the 70's. He did not share this information to us kids until the 80's after the show had ended and we were old enough to handle the truth. Little House was a huge favorite in my family growing. So glad Dad waited to tell us, I was so emotionally invested in these characters; I would have been traumatized knowing the truth as a kid.

Just as I watched Little House on the Prairie to get away from politics back in the 1980s when Watergate was alive, today the Trump impeachment is alive so I watched Little House on the Prairie to get away from all the Trump Capitol invasion. While watching the series, I saw love, fairness and understanding. It is definitely something you don’t see in Congress and Washington, D.C. politics. Little House On The Prairie is good medicine and therapeutic. So thank God for Little House on the Prairie ! It took me away from all the Washington Politicians hogwash. I watched All episodes of Little House from season one to season nine. They are shown on Peacock and it was such a release to watch all nine seasons. I LOVED IT ! It was a joy to put CNN on the back burner for a long while. I so wish Michael Landon was still alive because it appears he had a heart for fair government and a society of acceptance. May he rest in peace.

From what I've heard and read, it was dictated by Michael Landon that there be "sibling rivalry" fostered between MSA and MG. Not sure why--maybe to get better performances out of them, perhaps--but it made no sense since Mary and Laura were very close IRL. If you watch closely, their storylines and characters were on different pages even when they shared the same scene. And though Landon and MG shared a father/daughter bond, it was MSA who was chosen to work in some of Landon's side projects. Also, MSA was a more professional and cultured actress than MG. MSA didn't really say anything about MG in her book--other than mention when Landon took them all to an amusement park and told them to keep it on the down-low, and MG announced to the whole park the cast was there. Landon was [ticked off].

[@BETINO1976]

"Little House on the prairie" and "Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman" are my favourite all times TV shows and I found many similarities between its characters, in my opinion: Laura Ingalls Wilder vs Doctor Michaela Quinn, Pa Charles Ingalls vs Byron Sully, Harriet/Nellie/Nancy Oleson vs Loren Bray/Jake Slicker/banker Preston A.Lodge III, Nels Oleson vs Dorothy Jennings, Carrie Ingalls vs Bryan Cooper, Albert Ingalls vs Bryan/Matthew Cooper, Mary Ingalls vs Ingrid/Colleen Cooper, Ma Caroline Ingalls vs Cloud Dancing, Reverend Alden vs Rev. Timothy Johnson ! But the main character Laura Ingalls Wilder cannot work separately, without Pa Charles or later her husband, Almanzo Wilder as Dr. Mike Quinn cannot go without Sully !

I don't get it? If you watch the very first kiss between Almanzo(Manly) and Laura, it was entirely on the lips and not the cheek. She did it and Michael had a very serious talk with Dean Butler about how the scene needed to be done right the first time and it was. She also felt uncomfortable about being seen in the same bed as him when they finally married and had their own home, but she was able to do those scenes as well.

But, in early times there were always huge age differences and, there still is that same factor today. But, things like that happen in real life, life happens, situations like that happen. At least there wasn’t a big huge age gap and, there was nothing extremely inappropriate with it. There are actually things that are way farther more inappropriate.

And FYI 99% of the time when you see a word spelled wrong in the comment section it's a typo. But I'm curious why people like you always feel the need to point it out, what is that all about?

[@jeffw1267]

@@raephaelemasirnille5794 It was common for there to be large differences between ages in those days and people of that time wouldn't have thought anything of it. A man was expected to build a career, or at least a home for his future wife, before asking someone to marry him. That took time. And a young girl would be better able to produce a large family over time. I think that (in the series) Charles got upset about the age difference because people of TODAY would have a problem with it, not people of past times.

[@raephaelemasirnille5794]

@@jeffw1267 You make a good point but my question was why Charles treated his daughter's differently. Wasn't Adam much older than Mary and I believe in the show she went blind at 14y/o or was she 15Y/o? Why did he not make Mary wait until she was 18y/o.? And how old was Adam and plus he was her teacher; how inappropriate was that?

You forgot Linwood Bomar, he created " Malcolm In The Middle" on Fox. Also do a video on "Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman" and "Touched By An Angel." Maybe even "7th Heaven" and "The Waltons"

Linwood Boomer, who played Adam Kendall, Mary's husband also produced the TV show, night Court.

[@LucaJacobson8168]

Anderson did not want to deal with the FOOLISHNESS. Hindsight being 20/20 she did it RIGHT. Anderson's LIFE turned out VERY WELL, considering the other casts, Including Gilbert.

4:30- Melissa and Alison were such great friends and had such a great time in the water fight scene they continued playing around in the water even after shooting of the scene ended; thus, the picture of the two of them covered in mud!

I have always loved Little House On The Prairie. If anyone has COZI TV on their television, they show 3 episodes a day of LHOTP. I'm front and center.

[@joyce4793]

The Peacock channel has all nine years of Little House. I sit and watch beginning from season one all the way to season nine when it ended. Gets me away from all the politics.

[@veryfungamesawesome]

It’s also on Up TV everyday from 9:00am-3:00pm eastern time. It used to be on Hallmark Drama on weekdays and weeknights but I think they took it off. I think it’s on the Hallmark Movies and mysteries in the mornings. I get all 3 of those channels, I love Little House on the Prairie to fall back on with all this crap happening in the world.

[@MetalArrow]

They show 2 episodes on Kanal 3 Puls at 11pm on weekdays, here in Denmark. Only show worth watching on TV, if you ask me.

in those days they always married the girls young because the pionners had a lot of children up to 10!! and they were poor/ the boys later because they were needed to help on the farm/he was 23 she was 16..............7 years is nothing

Melissa Gilbert was once asked why she and Melissa Sue didn’t get along. Gilbert speculated that M. Sue originally auditioned for the part of Laura and got upset when she didn’t get it. M. Sue kept the grudge the whole time often criticizing how Gilbert was saying her lines or acting. Gilbert said M. Sue once pushed her off the wagon because she was angry at the was Gilbert was portraying her character.

Melissa sue Anderson s mom didn't want her daughter hanging out with the cast except for Michael landon.
