    I kind of felt like he was a big jerk only because I couldn't figure out what wasn't done.  Looked like they were just wiping down counters or whatever.  It was ready and he didn't have to wait for anything before he opening up.

    They were still hammering near the windows when Sprague came and he mentioned it was 40 after 12?  Then they still had to unload the wagon with all the stuff

    Okay thanks! It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. I know a certain person left, and I can see how that might affect the scripts. [I'm actually coming off watching that person play an FBI counterintelligence chief in The Americans and seeing them 40 years younger and such an eager beaver in The Waltons has been amusing me more than it should. LOLOL]

    Yea I prefer The Waltons to LHOP, but I like both. I felt the scripts were much better and the characters were a bit better as well. Like Charles is great but it's nice seeing John be the nice husband/dad but also lose his temper  a bit to at his children. More realistic

    I've been watching The Waltons for the first time, and I agree it seems more raw than LHOTP (minus the movie), despite a general shared tone. I'm nearly to the end of season 2. I'm wondering if The Waltons goes as batshit off-the-rails in its later years, ala Little Orangutan on the Prairie. 

    Starting season 7 the show falls pretty hard

    There was a lot of off screen stuff that happened ( I won't spoil it, but you may already know) and they just lost their way.

    If that snow storm happened in reality, Charles and most of the other men would have stayed up all night, working hard to clear a path as best they could from the house to the barn.  

    Everytime I see Hester Sue wake up in Laura's bed, I always think, "She must be dying to take a piss"...  LOL   Yeah, sanitised 1880s is always fun!

    Right with that snow there's no way they would have gone to the mercantile for at least ...psh 2-3 weeks maybe more?

    The pilot Christmas is my favorite as it's the most true to the books. I love the inclusion of the now-iconic gifts of mittens, tin cups, peppermint sticks, Christmas cakes, and shiny new pennies. Laura's "We each get our own cups now!" still warms my heart as does her "Not me!" in response to Mary saying she'll save her candy stick because of course Mary would save hers. Although I doubt book Ma and book Edwards shared such smoldering looks between them, with Edwards in his longjohns of all things. 

    I liked the family pulling together in Christmas on Plum Creek but hated the loss of Bunny (even though it was only temporary). It was one of the few times I did not like Nels (Bunny being "Laura's" - come on, she's a little girl!). Ma would have been thrilled with a picture of a stove, knowing one was on order. I also find it odd that Mary wouldn't have made a gift for Ma or Laura or Carrie. Just Pa. And did Carrie get anything? Even Jack got a gingerbread man.

    The Christmas They Never Forgot had some nice moments with a bit of Caroline's backstory as well as that of Almanzo and Hester Sue. But they could miss me with the attempts to sanitize slavery or the "kindly, white master." 

    Which brings me to the most depressing of all - the Blizzard episode. Nothing says Christmas like kids being sent out in a snowstorm and one of the parents of said kids dying from hypothermia. 

     

    I still chuckle at the end of The Christmas They Never Forgot with all the snow and them all laughing and Charles saying "It's a beautiful morning for a walk" or something along those lines, and no concern for the animals or how they are going to get food to eat or get the milk or go to restroom or anything!!!

     

    I know it's just a show but it always gives me a laugh

    was at the bar and I heard a guy say the tv show "What will happen to Mary next?" and everyone was quiet and he said "You have never heard that! from the 70s! Little House on the Prarie! Michael Landon!!" then everyone was like "oh yea of course" and he was like "Yea I call it "What will happen to Mary next?" She goes blind, gets kicked by a horse"

    lol I found it pretty funny
