    IIRC, during the episode in which a bully starts to taunt Eliza Jane and she's on the verge of permanently resigning, Laura and Albert are concerned that if their teacher  permanently leaves their school, Almanzo will somehow have no choice but to totally uproot himself and amscray from Walnut Grove despite all the blood, sweat, tears and toil he'd put into his farm (to say nothing of the monies involved  in purchasing it

    I figured he was just as bad a farmer as Pa, so that's why he didn't mind abandoning it.

    Maybe Mariette Hartley's dishes got sold off to pay off some of the Ingallses' debts including all the stuff they bought when pinning everything on a kook uncle's inheritance.

    Thedishes (that Laura said they used every day) might be in the dungeon outside of town with all the characters that were their best friends for one episode.

    Of course, what was also odd was that Miss Beadle was ALSO supposed to have lived somewhere near the Rooms sign (at least until she got enough acreage for her horse named Jack and that tree swing) but they never had any but the most prim dealings- and even Mrs. Oleson didn't consider the possibility of them getting together!

    Poor Doc Baker. The only educated, single guy in town, and all the ladies acted like he didn't exist. He was there all the time and apparently neither Caroline nor Grace thought he was an option for Grace. Then smelly, drunk Mr. Edwards shows up and they leap on him like water in a desert!

    If anything when they extended out the kitchen they could have made that a bedroom or something. I don't know

    Bizarrely, when Charles finally agreed to build out the house (in the episode where James and Albert run away, I think), suddenly James and Albert were all, "No, Pa, we love spending every moment within 2 inches of seventeen other people all the time! Please don't give us more room!"

    Every person in Walnut Grove with a house had a bigger house than the Ingalls.

    Was watching Whisper Country, and damn, Mary is really awful in it. She's a terrible houseguest (oh, it's time for dinner? I'm gonna wash up and change instead of being on time), she yells at everyone instead of speaking like a reasonable human being, and she interferes with everything (leave the rooster tied up, nosy!) because she thinks she knows best. It's like she's channeling Charles - I guess it's a good thing she didn't fall down and break her ribs.

    I believe that was for the inscrutable Mr Wing, since Bulldog had stage fright and was unable to voice the role.

    You guys we should totally rent out a theater and screen “Ham Radio” like it was Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    I'll bring the coffee thermos (it keeps my coffee warm!)

    Albert just burned down the blind school, and I will never ever stop being mad that everyone left the baby in a burning building.

    Also, "Darkness is My Friend" was on before this, and all I can think is that they say darkness is their friend now, but next week darkness won't even be in the episode and they'll all have forgotten about darkness, like every other Ingalls friend.

    Now Roz not wanting to be a bridesmaid in an ugly dress - that's believable.  

    I laughed at Frasier's bridesmaid's dress choice too (even though Roz loved it). Daphne was going for poofy ugly and Frasier went for refined ugly.

    And then this conversation between Daphne and Roz towards the end, regarding the dress Roz winds up wearing:

    "Doesn't she look great?"

    "Oh, shut it, Daphne, I know you think I look like a hooker!"

    "No, no, I said it made me look like a hooker! On you, it...well, it works!" 

    I am always entertained how they pretend that Daphne and Roz wear the same size. Like the episode where Roz asks Daphne if she can borrow a push-up bra, when Roz is clearly several bra sizes larger than Daphne.

    Regarding the Superbowl episode, our dogs only tolerate each other, and sometimes someone will refer to them as "friends," and I always say, "He's not my friend! I hate him!" and I'm the only one who thinks it's funny.

    Yeah for a show that is known for its intellect, it's especially obvious to us when they go for the lowest common denominator. 

    Agreed. The "jokes" were all lazy and mean.

    Even though I can't watch the later episodes on LHOP, I did have on The Last Summer while I cleaned today. I don't know why I tear up with Ruthie saying goodbye to Jason but I do. Except for her really bad wig (a common trend on LHOP) I liked Vera Miles as Ruthie so much more than his mom (who was a jerk) or any of the characters then. Seeing Jason liking Ruthie wasn't the same as Laura with all her older friends, it seemed more real with him helping her and Dewey. Then Blanche came on and TV went off. : )

     

    Wait, that was Vera Miles???? Today I learned . . .

    Miss Beadle, who I feel awful for in this episode, said they left 30 mins ago before it got bad.

     

    I may be misremembering, but I recall a couple of the moms saying that their kids couldn't have gotten home in time even before Miss Beadle said how long ago they left.

    And yes, I felt awful for her too. Willie coming to comfort her is one of my favorite moments in the whole series.

    I just would have liked once to see how hard it was, a 2 part winter episode. You never really saw Ma do laundry, everyone was "hanging laundry" in nice weather. you never saw dinner from start to finish, she got a turkey and then it was done and on the table. You never saw cleanup really. That's fine but it did seem ideal most of the time. You saw berry picking a lot but never getting veggies from garden or things like that.

    I thought the pilot did a much better job of that. The house they built with the rough logs, the kids gathering firewood in cold weather, etc. It was a lot less sanitized than the series after that. I think they even showed Ma plucking a turkey at one point.

    I read that LIW was crabby because her publishers wouldn't let her call the book The Hard Winter, even though that's what everyone who lived through it called it. They thought it was too harsh a title. So I imagine they probably made her tone down the content of the book, too.

    Agreed that it would have been a great two-part episode and would have let us see Manly being useful.
