I just saw the episode, The Award. I cant remember the last time I seen it. In the episode Mary causes a fire in the barn. After rescuing the livestock and putting out the fire, Caroline rips into Mary.

Caroline is angry and tells Mary that she is not competing in the contest at school as punishment. Caroline orders Mary to go to school tomorrow and tell Miss Beadle that she is not competing in the contest.

Suddenly Laura yells “She can’t”. Caroline turns around and asks “Why?”

I was expecting Laura to explain how hard Mary was studying and how sorry Mary was for accidentally starting the fire. Instead Laura yells….. “TOMORROW IS SATURDAY !” 😭

How distressing! My favorite show is leaving Amazon Prime! Where else does everyone watch this?

You encounter a young boy on his own. He doesn’t go to school so you offer a deal; in exchange for helping around the farm he can stay with you and get an education.

If he’s white he bunks in the loft with your daughter inside the house and you go to some lengths to adopt him. He wants to become a doctor and you encourage him in every way.

If he’s black he sleeps in the soddy. He also wants to become a doctor and when he becomes discouraged you essentially say yeah, well, that’s how it is and buy him a ticket on the stage.

What’s the message Charles?

It seems as though the entire series is leaving Amazon Prime. Only other place I can find it is Peacock but you have to upgrade it, and we’re using a family members account. Anywhere else you can watch it? Full series DVDs easy to come across?

Ok, I am watching the very last episode where they all blow up Walnut Grove to prevent the new landowner from being able to profit off the businesses they started. They basically say “you own the land, but you don’t own the building! 💥” then, when the landowner comes to take over the town, he demands the army arrests the citizens because they destroyed his town… the townspeople from the OTHER towns then declare “if you plan on taking over ours towns, this is what you’re going to get too!” This makes the landowner rethink his whole plans now and Reverend Alden cheers that the town did not die in vain… but… wouldn’t it have been a good idea to threaten the landowner with blowing up the town, ya know… BEFORE you actually do it??…. Make this make sense haha

These ain't no damn wolfs. They're freaking dogs, the head dog looks like a Labrador retriever. 🤣 I'm sitting here cracking up at how intimidated we're supposed to be about these dogs. The scariest looking one is the one Laura and Andrew found with her pups. But she looks like a German shepherd.

Usually when I hear someone say that, I just roll my eyes. You can do a lot more on tv today than you could in 1970s. But in this case, it might be true.

Season 1 episode 7. Town Party, Country Party

Laura is taking a bath and she is show bare chested. Not just the top of her shoulders, but her chest is shown. She 7 or 8, so she doesn't actually have anything to show, but it's still surprising that a girl of any age, would be seen on tv without a shirt on.

Season 1 Episode 6- If I Wake Before I Die:

80 yr old Amy Hearn is the greatest sales woman in Walnut Grove. She decides to have a Wake while she is still alive. Amy pulls one of the greatest hoaxes of all time.

First she convinces Dr Baker to send a wire about her death to her children. Charles goes along with the idea and makes a coffin. Caroline goes to Amy’s house to talk sense to into Amy but returned with the task to bake the cake.

A Priest arrives to Walnut Grove to give his services, Amy introduces herself as Amy O’hare (Maiden Name) and tells the Priest everything about Amy Hearn. She later says to the Ingalls “Its a sin to deceive a Priest.”😂. At the wake the Priests comments “I can almost feel her presence in the room” 🤭

I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did.

While watching this one, it struck me how much June Carter and Katherine MacGregor look a like. They could be sisters!

I mean take "Author! Author!" for example. Laura says they haven't seen grandpa since way before they met Albert, so Albert has never seen him. And then randomly this man comes to his life depressed and everyone in the family is focused on helping this man, and I'm sure Albert has heard about grandpa before, but he's still essentially a stranger to him. And then he leaves a few weeks later and that's just it. But I guess he's still expected to treat the man like his grandpa because he acts like he knew this man his whole life. Or that episode where Mr Edwards gets hurt and Charles and Laura go to visit him. They say they visited eachother, but Albert still probably doesn't know the family too well so from his point of view they also go to help someone who is almost a stranger to him. But again, Albert acts like he knows Mr Edwards just as well as Laura. And given his abilities to lie and trick people I'm guessing he's tricking everyone to believe he doesn't feel awkward or at least a little strange in those situations.

Tell me why all the boy children in the ingalls family are legit cursed?

Charles (freddie) - died from an inability to survive
Albert - cancer
Mary’s Son- dies in a fire
Laura’s unnamed son - died 12 days after birth
Laura’s daughter rose had a son that also died

Why do the men in this family die 🫪

So far ive read the autobiography of Melissa sue Anderson, Alison's, and im currently reading Karen Grassle's. Which biography do you recommend?

Thank you in advance!
