YOUR GRANDSON JUST DIED THREE EPISODES AGO, CAROLINE!

Im seriously looking forward to the remake Thurs but it has some big shoes to fill.

Their height difference makes me giggle 🤣

Sé que debería estar emocionado porque se viene una nueva adaptación, pero la verdad es que no pienso verla. No es porque la serie vaya a ser buena o mala; simplemente no me hago a la idea de no ver a los personajes principales de siempre. También soy un gran fan de Michael Landon y me da tristeza pensar que ese trabajo original pueda quedar en el olvido.

Muchos dicen que esta nueva versión sí estará basada en los libros, pero creo que el hecho de que la serie original no los siguiera al pie de la letra fue parte de su magia. Michael Landon nos enseñó grandes valores y, para muchos, su obra fue un refugio que nos ayudó a salir de la tristeza. Creo que todos, en algún momento, soñamos con tener una familia como los Ingalls.

En fin, esa es mi opinión. No sé qué piensan ustedes, pero yo siempre voy a preferir la serie original. Ojalá algún día Netflix también la incorpore a su catálogo; la vería cien veces si fuera necesario.

Gracias por este espacio. Y para mí, la familia Ingalls siempre será la original. Jaja.

I thought it was pretty good, myself. June is a somewhat above-tolerable actress, & John was better, albeit still no Kris Kristofferson (RIP) as far as acting goes, but I enjoyed it & I think he did well in this role.

Far-fetched, of course, in that the people were so willing to give to this total stranger on the good Rev. Alden's supposed say-so (he could have been tortured for info) just because he looked the part. Nels flat-out caught him unlocking the valuables room in the dead of night, yet could not conceive of this slick, collared scoundrel ripping them off. Even more outlandish that he gave away all of that money after having bamboozled our good Walnut Grove populace, & the whole time I wondered:

🤔

How does he expect to live with all that money when Alden knows where he lives & all of Walnut Grove has seen his Man in Black face & knows his name?

He had his pivotal moment after Mary gave him her 🔥™️ HEAT-RAY MARY HATE-EYES 👁, so our good Rev. Alden let him sweat it out for a bit, then lied for him & left him beloved. Before he did, however, Rev. Alden looked as if he were about to compel his congregation to tar-&-feather this man for absconding with his preacher's attire & culminating his dastardly deed in church, & on the Sabbath no-less.

😔

The whole time we know, without a doubt, that he's going to have a change of heart, & it's sometimes obvious with his regretful second glances & whatnot.

😏

Still, he was a lovable, conniving, silver-tongued devil (can you tell I like Kris Kristofferson?) who brought a spunky, elderly lady back from the brink with a sea shanty:

🎶 My Bonnie lies over the ocean 🎶

🎶 My Bonnie lies over the sea 🎶

🎶 My Bonnie lies over the ocean 🎶

🎶 Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me 🎶

😈😇

Story - 6.5

The fact that Johnny & June Carter frickin' Cash were in it, & he's a whistling preacher con-man - 10

I found this recipe in an oldish community cookbook from Chelsea, Vermont

They sound like vanity cakes to me.

They're just as mysterious, too. Googling Toad Cakes doesn't yield much useful information.

I'm watching the first episode of The Brady Bunch. Dabs Greer, the actor who played Rev. Alden also plays the officiant of Mike and Carol Brady's wedding.

Did anybody else realize that Pa and Ma allowed Mary to get engaged when she was 13???? She wasn’t out of school or even close. BUT Pa made a huge deal when Laura was crushing on Almanzo. All of the “little girl” stuff sounds very different than his attitude with John Jr. Now before you all make the excuse that John and Mary were closer in age, that makes John Jr a BOY. Almanzo was an adult with a job and a home and much more capable of actually taking care of a wife and family. Just an observation.
