According to Alison Arngrim, Melissa Sue Anderson was very standoffish and always had her nose up in the air (so to speak). Not that I know the cast members, but based on Mary, Laura and Nellie, I can see Mary being a snob. Lol. We used to watch 'Little House' in the mornings before school. I can't remember what channel it was on. Maybe TBS? But I feel like it was something like Family Channel or USA. We also watched Gilligan's Island and Pokemon before school too.HoldenIsHere wrote: ↑January 28th, 2023, 11:41 amMy sister and I used to watch LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE on Superstation TBS.

Interesting that neither Alison Arngrim or Melissa Gilbert liked Melissa Sue Anderson.speedracer5 wrote: ↑January 25th, 2023, 2:33 pm I'm about 80% through Alison Arngrim's (aka Nellie Oleson from "Little House on the Prairie") autobiography, "Confessions of a Prairie B itch." It's been an entertaining read so far. I especially enjoyed reading about her friendship with Melissa Gilbert (aka Laura Ingalls) and how much both of them disliked Melissa Sue Anderson (aka Mary Ingalls).
In the early episodes the scenes with Nellie and Laura were my favorites. I love the episode where Nellie fakes being paralyzed to guilt Laura into being her slave.
As a kid I crushed on the super cute Andrew Garvey (Patrick Labyorteaux).
When searching for images of Patrick Labyorteaux, I found this one with his real life brother Matthew (who played Albert on LITTLE HOUSE).
Here's hoping crop tops for men make a comeback.
At moments like this, I really miss LornaHansonForbes from the TCM message board . . .

I always liked the episodes where Nellie and Laura got into a brawl. Frankly, sometimes Laura had it coming, she could be a snot. I hated though when Nellie grew up and Mrs Oleson adopted the Nellie clone, Nancy. Nancy was just a mean little brat. Nellie had least had some humanity to her. Lol. What's interesting about Nancy is that according to Arngrim, Nancy is wearing the Nellie OIeson wig! So she really was being made into a mini-Nellie. When Nellie comes to visit from New York with her husband, Percival, they had to get her some other hair, because her Nellie hair was being used. So they ended up putting her in some sort of Gibson Girl wig, figuring that that 'do would be becoming on a wealthy city woman like Nellie.
I think Patrick Labyorteaux was in Heathers, and the cult classic, Ski School.
Re: Albert. Albert was a mess. He was responsible for the fire at the blind school, and ultimately the death of Mary's baby. Then, he gets hooked on morphine and is reduced to stealing it from Doc Baker's office. A white-haired Pa Ingalls had to come from Mankato or Sleepy Eye or wherever he and Ma moved to, and perform an intervention!
I just got the boxed set of the nine 'Little House' books because I've never read them. According to Arngrim, Michael Landon took a lot of liberties with the Laura Ingalls Wilder story, so it'd be interesting to read "the truth" versus what I know from the show.
No it ain’t miso or missiles or mythology. The definition of misology is the hatred and fear of reasoning and argument. I mean c’mon, what better insult to hurl at someone than calling him/her a misologist. The irony is since nobody knows what the word means, it’s like whistling in the wind. But my vocabulary has increased and I’m hoping this word makes a comeback.
Never watched Little House on the Prairie. Maybe if it's title had been changed to Little B1tch on the Prairie . . . Now THAT I'd watch!speedracer5 wrote: ↑January 28th, 2023, 12:07 pm My sister and I used to watch LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE on Superstation TBS.

I'm envisioning the characters as adults in Real Housewives on the Prairie.speedracer5 wrote: ↑January 28th, 2023, 12:07 pm I always liked the episodes where Nellie and Laura got into a brawl . . .

I cannot believe you mentioned Jack Douglas and My Brother Was an Only Child, a book I read in my teen years, after seeing Douglas on TV. Nobody mentions Jack Douglas anymore!* I also read his other great work, Never Trust a Naked Bus Driver.EP Millstone wrote: ↑January 29th, 2023, 8:43 pm
For me, the book's title evokes My Brother was an Only Child by Jack Douglas, who was a comedy writer for Jack Paar.
I have something in common with Hunter S. Thompson too. We went to different schools together.
