[@harley_arrow]

Much loved!....the good old days when tv was worth watching indeed!

[@daninechevarella1376]

I have so many memories of LHOTP and it was my favorite show. Melissa Gilbert has always been a favorite actress of mine. I didn’t realize all she went through as a child actress. Thank you to everyone on LHOTP. Its a classic show with great actors. I love u Melissa Gilbert. So happy for you and your husband TB, another fine actor.

I've watched Little House on the Prairie for years, it will never get old, I just love watching it! I'm so thrilled that they still show reruns! ❤👍

[@dianebenker3072]

Omgosh, I can relate! I was 13, and 2 months before turning 14. My first kiss was also embarrassing. I had a big crush on my brothers best friend. It was his birthday, I don't remember if he was 15 or 16,.but right in front of my older brother, and my best friend, he asked me if I was going to give him a birthday kiss. Well, I did,. with my brother standing about a foot away. After that passionate kiss I lost my balance and stumbled, and almost fell over. I smile now when I look back on it. I'm happy it was an unforgettable moment, like Melissa's was. That was October of 1964.

[@marygayquigley9672]

I was sixteen when I had my first kiss. I know exactly how Melissa felt. Of course I didn't do it on screen but I was scared to death none the less. My boyfriend was also five years older than me and he also became my husband. I remind him from time to time that he was the only one l ever kissed. He also knows that I saved "everything else" for the man I married. We've been married for 35 years. I thank the Lord for him all the time.

[@kristinesmart3134]

What a beautiful, touching comment! I was 18....I admit. I was introverted & heck. I didn't get "romantic" until years, years later. Now everyone has different lives & experiences; but I'm so grateful to have the great, loving childhood I had. I was blessed-no abuse of any type. That's why it tears my soul up when I hear of innocent children and babies being hurt for no good reason. I'm sorry to go off in a negative light, but it's the truth. Someone mentioned it before....as far as t.v., books, movies out there recently, it's simply trash. Create your own GOOD reality.

I love Little house on The Prairie. I love Laura and Charles, especially. Melissa, Michael and other spectacular actors of the series, have been blessed ones to create the series. They made visible something that is so precious and God given Grace. Melissa as Laura, played herself, obviously. One cannot give what one has not got. Melissa has like Michael, such beauty and Grace in their hearts. And that sensitivity and spectrum of acting! I love you, for ever. You are blessed. I am watching the series again and again. I am Melissa´s age. Watching an episode a day is like a prayer to me. I get cleansed, purified and empowered in my chosen way to live my life. What a blessed human being Michael Landon was to create something like this which lives for ever in peoples´hearts. Of course, Karen Grassle and other crew members are all equally blessed and wonderful. Karen set an example to many, her compassion and wisdom playing mother Ingalls.

[@kathleentyson6727]

These were my favorite episodes by far.

[@ragingbull154]

When television was worth watching.

[@melloebis]

Agree.

[@marciajones6479]

I sure miss this kind of television. When TV had morals.

[@Irish-Triplet]

It's funny that I'm reading the books right now and Big Brother must be watching me because this pops up in my suggested videos when this is the place in the books I happen to be reading. The Golden Years where Almanzo is pursuing Laura, but she's unaware of his affections. The kiss...

[@mprkg]

1:27 Melissa also kissed Dean BEFORE the famous Sweet 16 dance scence. She kissed Alamanzo months before this when she dressed as a clown and kissed him at the circus

[@amrose4214]

She probably kissed him on the cheek as the clown but all see is her just lean down its a quick kiss on the cheek He

[@tiffanybrown1001]

Different kind of kiss

I'm from Brazil, I'm living in Spain. Here on the local TV this wonderful series is being reprized, I do not lose any chapter.

Querida melisa ¡¡cuantos recuerdos de mi infancia muchos besos desde España ¡🇪🇸♥️

[@gregsenara]

I fell in love with Laura..

[@adasteiajustiennebygodsgra6714]

Her first kiss was with an actor on Little House years prior to the kiss with Butler. It was a tame kiss but still a kiss. I don't know his name but the episode was about her crushing over him and her desire to be a grown woman. She ends up placing apples in the bodice of her dress which hilariously fall to the floor when she lifts her arm to write on the chalk board. This must have been her second kiss, ? so her mom missed out over crying about the 1st.

[@michelapriore2421]

Mi piacerebbe sentire questa intervista in italiano non solo di Melissa ma anche di Michael Landon e gli altri attori della casa nella prateria . Bellissima la casa nella prateria

[@donnadreyer2580]

The kiss that Beth and Manly shared on her 16 th Birthday was the very first kiss for Melissa, her mother was in the audience and was scared to death because her little girl was going to have her very first kiss.

[@StarAnnasDream]

Donna Dreyer BESS?? He called her Bess

[@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen]

Star Anna No,,,,he called her BETH. In the first episode of the sixth season, “ Back To School” Laura is on foot when Almanzo comes by and offers her a lift, she apologizes for calling him Manly, and he says it’s totally fine then offers to give her a nickname. He asks her what her full given name is, she answers Laura Elizabeth Ingalls.....and he says “How about BETH?” And she loves it! Later in part 2 Of Back To School at the dinner table she asks Pa to call her Laura or BETH when in the company of others.

[@ravenel2]

He called her Bess in real life. But Bess was too old-fashioned and stodgy for television in the 1970s and 1980s, so on TV, they changed it to Beth, which was trendier. There were still plenty of teenage Beths and Lauras in the 80s. Not as trendy as Jennifer or Nicole, but still common enough to be totally normal, without sounding like someone’s Victorian grandmother. You just didn’t know anyone named Bess who was under 80 (or not a horse.) It was like Ethel or Mabel. Sorry if anyone named Bess reads this!

[@loric4423]

@@StarAnnasDream No he didn't. He called her Beth because her middle name was Elizabeth.

[@genevalee1703]

Today, that scene would have never happened or allowed. A teenager girl kissing a grown man? Never happen and I don't care how innocent it looked. You'd have millions of people screaming outrage.

[@amrose4214]

Aww sort of funny in the way they both talk about the kiss. Then of course after that they had to be man and wife be comfortable with it. They were the prairie couple.

[@mprkg]

:40 Melissa always says she had not kissed a boy when they filmed this scence a week after she turned 15. She kissed 2 boys on LHOTP before this! One was the guy she went frogging with like in Season 3 or 4.

Loved Little House and Laura. It's a shame that they're not that nice in person. Fame makes them think they know it all and makes them cocky.
