    When she had Chris wear the shirt, I thought, just tell Mary it's the one you made. Such a waste of material to just hide it. Those little infuriating things like the dishes that have no consistency.

    And did Charles ever buy Caroline anything with that 7.00 credit???

    Do you remember off hand what Nels was trying to get Charles to buy instead? Wasn't it a clock or lantern?

    Yes, that is why seeing them always so clean and shining and well pressed and never dirty wasn't real. Most want the set of LHOP in Simi Valley. Let them feel the cold through the logs, have to get up in below zero weather without parkas and very warm clothing to go get wood, feed livestock, etc. Wash clothes that are dried frozen and can't be worn yet, take all day to make one meal with a fire place and stretch out potatoes and food. Have Charles come in dirty and sweaty and stink up the cabin but its not wash day yet. Have your period with an outhouse, rags and freezing temps as your friend. I'll take penicillin thank you and vaccines for things that killed in the simple life. No thanks, I'll take a cabin in the woods with composting toilet for one night and running water but I'll stop there. I'd like to do the reenactment for fun but not for life.

    Yep, I have always said though that people back then were smarter when it came to surviving though. If you threw me in the middle of the woods for a month in a cabin and I had no electricity, no plumbing,no transportation. I wouldn't survive.

    I always thought the long winter scenes in the book, not in their whole but definitely parts, would have been great in a 2 part episode. He didn't like grit though and that was gritty. He wanted pioneer life sanitized for the audiences then but The Long Winter had so much in it. One of my favorite books.

    I remember when a town near me that did recreation of a town in 1800's (Sturbridge) had a stay over in one of the homes. You wore the clothes, worked a chore of your choosing, ate and cooked the way they did then etc. No phones and you just tried to recreate what it was like then without electricity etc. Some loved it and some were like, "Why did I think I wanted to be on LHOP" lol Because that was a set silly.

    This is link to town in MA. Pretty cool. https://www.osv.org/

    The 3 D part on website is new, I like it to see inside some buildings. The place nearby suspended the overnight part since Covid but maybe in future.

    I have caught myself saying "boy I would love to experience life back then" and I know I wouldn't last

     

    I think alot of it is with technology today I just wanna get away sometimes

    Absolutely. I’m more of a “Diane years girl” (especially the first two), but there’s no denying the character of Rebecca, as written and performed, breathed new life into the show. The Cheers team really could teach a master class in how to sustain a series through major cast changes.

    Whenever I think of Rebecca, I remember how she would call Robin (it was him, wasn’t it?) her “sweet baby.” For some reason, that absolutely used to slay my dad, to the point where he took to imitating it whenever he wanted to comfort us by cracking us up.

    Think about what Cheers did

    Lost Coach, replaced with Woody

    Lose Diane, replace with Rebecca

    Also added Fraiser and Lillith which even made show stronger

    Added Kelly as a recurring character

    I'm trying to remember an episode where I have a vivid recollection that Kirstie's delivery of a line made me laugh very hard, but I can't remember many details at all. For one thing I have always remembered it as being about Robin Colcord but it's possible it was actually Evan Drake. The setup was some kind of description of how badly things were going in her pursuit of whichever man it was, presumably because she had a rival, because her reaction was to assert "I'm winning!" It's been many years since I saw it but I recall it as a highlight for the character. 

    I think it may have been in the storyline where Colcord had Rebecca and another girl he wanted

    True but even then Olivia and Esther never were shown with smudged or dirty aprons, frazzled hair or sweaty despite the two of them having to constantly cook, clean,launder, and tend to their household of eleven from Elizabeth to Zeb! One interesting early touch was seeing Esther cut up Elizabeth's food at the table despite Elizabeth no longer being a toddler but I suppose that since Elizabeth was her youngest grandchild that old habits died hard.

    Yes but I do notice Olivia had a sharper side to her in the first couple seasons and even more of a Southern accent

    The comparison to her from season 1 to season 7 when she left is astonishing

    The one thing I noticed is the early seasons, the first 2 really have a dirty, grimy feel to them which I love. John and Grandpa would come in from the mill sweaty , looking beat, the kids looked like they had been out playing get their hands dirty.

    Realistic stuff

    Regarding the new movie, I thought it wasn't as promoted as the previous one

    Going barefoot is no big deal. My boys did it all summer when they were kids, and now my grandkids do it. Their soles are tough as leather, they can run on gravel without batting an eye. Makes ‘em tough.

    And we can afford shoes; they just chose not to wear them. Makes sense to me that the Walton kids would be barefoot. Gotta save those shoes for as many hand-me-downs as possible!

    I often wonder if one of the children got hurt and that's why they went to shoes
