I think many fans went to check the channel back in the day...one of ML kids and I just saw on a weird Highway to Heaven about the world ending, his daughter with Cindy had a role as an 'angel" of some kind. Another cute blonde.

My husband pointed out only listening from another room, "Is the sell my horse to the nasty girl on again?" lol I said to him, if Charles for once didn't have the money to buy the stove, it would have been worse, having your kid sacrifice her horse to bad treatment and you could have stepped up with a gift this year. I assume since nothing new ever entered the home, she saved as credit for shopping just in case a tornado had their address this time or some other calamity. I think ML knew how fans would react so had plans to get Bunny back and then kill it later, but the extra shirt (did she waste the material?) and money from wheels remained a mystery. I said giving THAT one to Chris would have been a nice tie in....No Mary, this is one I made the same year you did. Hid it under the bed until Charles wore his out. I love 3/4 of the show, but never, ever will that part. I get it, but don't like who she gave it too, if it was Garvey's kid or anyone but Bartholomew, lol, I'd be okay. She just stuck her tongue out to her earlier in the show and lauded the horse over her. Never made sense. I chalk it up to Ma never got gifts really and if she did we never saw them again. The famous, gorgeous dishes disappeared with the barrel and the pin she got once, the painting the blind painter gave her, the necklace from step dad we only saw one Xmas. Never got a store bought dress (but came close) never had the girls buy her a nice hat or coat later in life, never a new lamp or even a book. Charles got gifts though, pajamas, shirts, lots of scarves.

I assume it kept you from thinking "I have to go to the bathroom". Even a chamber pot in that home had no privacy. ; /

That was a weird episode. They had a kid, didn't get married, now her dad was sick which was sad, but they could have had something simple She got a dress, beautiful reception, but they weren't needy really. Jeremiah did a great job but going to Ulta for hair and all that was kind of blah. I can't believe they can't find people as they did in the past. It was much deeper then. I don't mind light once in a while, but this was just odd.

yes, I keep seeing an old one like Marvin's Garden and then Plum Creek will come on and earlier it followed one with Almonzo on a train. Odd but they didn't have too many nice Xmas ones.

Clyde's FB page is more about his work but he seems to be doing well. Still smiling. I loved the exchange with Jeremiah in the store, when he said the car at 20 was "too much" and he's like "honey that's nothing, it's fine" A little snarky but in a nice way about the horse lamp, guess he couldn't resist but also honest. Not his taste but he found one for him. If he leaves he can take the bedroom stuff and lamp etc but the mural and dining stuff he might leave. Time will tell. If he doesn't mind sharing and money is better, why not?

I liked this episode FF through others. BUT a spanx like garment is not just what she needed. She needed to be fitted for a good bra, it would help more than a shaping garment and an education for most women on how we don't wear the right one. She needed more support and to look professional. I was surprised he helped a little but didn't get her fitted somewhere. The rest was A+

When you get to the Sean episode, Merlin gets a Makeover, this is his FB page with little update. https://www.facebook.com/hackpoet

I skipped around, seems this season is a mixed bag from reviews but the Mother's Day one seemed like it would be good. It was, look forward to hearing others opinions. Lots of crying and I looked up the person to see she is still doing well and better in many ways. This one really made me like Jeremiah and the short clip at the end with his mom on the phone might be missed if anyone shuts it off too quickly. Please stay to watch.

On the second episode he mentioned it to the woman Nicole because she was talking about breakups I looked up when, end of 2023

I couldn't watch the first one, wasn't clicking, but enjoyed the second (I'll revisit other one later) I didn't realize Antoni broke up with his 4 year partner, that's too bad. I liked this woman and I liked how they bonded with her. The new guy seemed a little awkward but he'll got in the groove. It's hard at first. I liked some of his choices and her reaction seemed sincere. Since her husband's memory was all over, she deserved a new design. The canopy...... I loved the lace shirt and shorts. You go girl! I loved the dress too, not one for cropped tops so that didn't move me but she was a pleasure to watch.

I started to watch this but was too tired..music changed which was predictable and seeing a new person was more of a jolt than I thought. I look forward to watching one this weekend. Hope it still has the same magic for me especially without Bobby. It's an escape in a crazy world that I usually look forward too.

I found this interview with Mike months before he died about his new show and a little on his life. Not a "hard" interview, he mentions divorce for instance and how angry his older kids were, but then the interviewer went on to something else. I get it, he's not 60 min or a tabloid but he seemed afraid to go there even though Mike brought it up. I just wanting to hear him talk about "Us" and how quickly it all came to an end is a reminder how fast life is. He talks a little about politics and how hard it was to buy a house then....lol, it was 1991 when he died, how things don't change. Bush was president, had to look it up because he was talking how people vote and about 46 min in, how high prices are in CA, how Willie Nelson was selling his condo for 16,000...I'm like that's cheap. : ) He mentioned how in his business people think they'll always have money and it's not like that. MG mentioned she did shockingly and it dried up quickly. I am too insecure to think like that but many athletes and stars do. I did FF a little through parts and some might feel cringy, but it was who he was, it wasn't like I was listening to a potential date. He was always honest about who he was and how he felt. The fact he had the tumor then and didn't know, just made me emotional at one point. I think I would have liked that show, I remember liking the pilot and thinking it wasn't as "hallmark" as Highway to Heaven. I'm not good with podcasts that aren't videos, a bit ADHD, but I left most of it as background as I did other things. https://brioux.tv/blog/2022/08/30/from-laughter-to-tears-my-interview-31-years-ago-with-michael-landon/

I only watched two minutes of this because I’m working, but if anyone’s interested in Victor Frenchs son and how they used to play on the set, their life with dad and LHOP, these podcasts are great

Yes from what I read, they didn't have an easy life but their website is now down, been for a while. It had lots of photos I never saw before and questions and answers etc. Had the word Sunshine in it. I hope they just didn't want to keep it up and it wasn't anything else. I found this info on one of their husbands online. Lindsay has been married to Daniel Sanchez since 2014. They originally met on the Little House set at Big Sky Ranch in Simi Valley (where exterior scenes were filmed) when she was a small child and he was a teenager who lived nearby. She has said Michael Landon allowed him to watch the filming at Big Sky Ranch. Decades later, they met again and married in the same spot where they first met. That is kind of cool ; ) You can always Monday morning quarterback but being a sensitive type and knowing how good the twins were going to many LHOP events, I hope they got more love than they read about. I wasn't always flattering either in reviews but I know a lot of it wasn't just them, it was the script, the direction and just who didn't want to try as mentioned above, to tailor a few lines more to them and their strength. Even watching the first "I'll be waving" episode as Mary is loaded up in wagon, Laura says goodbye, they have Carrie stand there looking at her. Laura hugs Carrie, but she can't say goodbye to her sister or Mary to her? No kiss, no "miss you?" That was so odd.
