Get Known if you don't have an account Share Series / Little House on the Prairie × WMG This serene family drama on NBC , which ran from 1974 well into the 1980s, was based on the popular series of autobiographical books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Michael Landon and Karen Grassle played Charles and Caroline Ingalls, a pioneer couple with three daughters: Laura (Melissa Gilbert), Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson) and Carrie (twins Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush). For its ninth and final season, the series was Re Tooled as Little House: A New Beginning; this was followed by three TV movies to wrap up the characters' storylines. This show provides examples of: Abusive Parents : Surprisingly frequent for the show. Guest character Todd from "The Angry Heart" had an abusive dad. James and Cassandra, the orphans Ma and Pa adopt later in the series, briefly lived with an abusive guardian. Albert's nightmares soon after his adoption imply he suffered abuse at a city orphanage.

Laura Ingalls Wilder will get dirty and play baseball as a child but at sixteen she becomes more elegant and gets her first teaching job. Albert, who plays football in a number of episodes. Accidental Athlete : In the Baseball Episode "In the Big Inning", as Charles is getting ready for a game against a team from Sleepy Eye, he and Half-Pint are at Jebediah Mumfort's farm, where they both witness Jebediah trying to hit a chicken hawk with a rock. He throws the rock so hard, it puts holes in the side of a barn. After this display, Charles convinces Jebediah to try out for Walnut Grove's baseball team. Of course, he's a natural and helps them win the big game despite all the cheating and poor sportsmanship of those evil people from Sleepy Eye. Adaptational Villainy : Harriet Oleson was generally kind and polite in the books, but in the TV series she's a malicious gossip. Nellie Oleson. In later years, Nancy Oleson, who is also a Doppelganger for Nellie. Jeb Standish in the Winoka episodes is a rare male example.

His father, Standish essentially owns the town. Jeb bullies Albert, Laura and others with words rather than fists. Affectionate Nickname : Half-Pint for Laura, even into adulthood. Beard of Sorrow : Charles grows one when he takes his comatose son James, on a pilgrimage to ask God to heal the boy. Bee Afraid : One episode in Season 6 has Albert selling Mrs. Oleson and Nellie a tree trunk filled with bees. They remain docile until Oleson's wagon begins to rock while they transport the hive home, causing the bees to angrily sting both the women as they lose control of their horses. Berserk Button : Pa's big one is hurting or attempting to harm his wife and/or children. Big Brother Bully : Nellie was a female example of this to her brother Willie, often coercing him to go along with her schemes. In the episode "Annabelle", we find out the usually kind-hearted Nels Oleson gave his sister Annabelle a hard time about her weight.

Big Eater : Willie Oleson, to the point where his father laments "Where does he put it all?" In "Here Come The Brides", Luke Simms eats so much that even Willie no longer has an appetite Elmer Miles in "For The Love of Nancy" "Boys Will Be Men", a surprisingly lighthearted and comedic episode about Albert and Andy successfully proving they can be men by walking to Sleepy Eye and back, while their fathers struggle to keep up with them. The episode where Laura and Almanzo babysit Royal's boys. Calling the Old Man Out : Willie calls out his mother when she tries to keep him from marrying the girl he loves. In "Gambini the Great," the eponymous stuntman Gambini gets one from his oldest son, who is concerned about his aging dad's death-defying stunts and also does not want to carry on the family tradition. Card-Carrying Villain : The Oleson women, though they get their Pet the Dog episodes every once in a while.

Catch Phrase : Hariet Oleson "Oh for HEAVEN'S sake!" Christmas Episode : "Christmas At Plum Creek", "Blizzard", "A Christmas They Never Forgot" and the TV movie "Bless All The Dear Children". Chuck Cunningham Syndrome : The Edwards family vanishes between the 3rd and 4th seasons. It is mentioned that they moved away from Walnut Grove. The Edwards' oldest son, John, is in the second episode of the fourth season, and the rest of the Edwards family appears in a Season Six episode (when Laura and Pa visit them), and Mr. Edwards turns up again in Season Eight and becomes a regular after he moves back to Walnut Grove. Circus Episode : Season Five's "Annabelle" has Mr. Oleson's estranged sister working as the Fat Lady in a touring circus, while Laura appears in it disguised as a clown. Class Clown : Willie Oleson. He even has his own corner. Designated Victim : Poor, poor Mary. If something bad had to happen, it was going to happen to her. Laura's niece Jenny.

Her first appearance had her so devastated by her father's death that she tries to drown herself in the lake, arguably not fully realizing the implications of suicide, but still getting an angry lecture from Laura. One of her last appearances involved her contraction of brain damage as a result of nearly drowning—again—while going after a treasured locket. Apparently, the writers were bent on trying to drown this character but weren't allowed to actually do it. Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off : Misbehaving children are frequently threatened with or given whippings. However excessive or particularly brutal corporal punishment is presented as child abuse. Historical Beauty Update : Pretty much the entire Ingalls family, but Pa Ingalls especially. Hot Teacher : Averted in "Back To School, Part One". Albert dresses in his Sunday clothes on his first day of school, in anticipation of meeting the new teacher, Miss Wilder. Then he gets a look at her. Although, in the previous season's episode "The Sound of Children" Albert does get a crush on substitute teacher Miss Elliott. Nancy Oleson. In real life, the actress who played her, Allison Balson, is a folk singer. Nancy's predecessor, Nellie.

Unlike Balson, Allison Arngrim — by her own admission — cannot sing worth a lick. Hollywood Heart Attack : Charles' friend Jack Prescott in the episode "The Legacy." Hollywood History : Although set in the 1870s (at the series' start in 1974), many of the stories reflect the values and morals of the 1970s and early 1980s. Michael Landon's hairstyle is clearly the thick, bushy style of the 1970s. Reverend Alden's usual preaching style and temperament reflects the changing, liberal views of the Bible that were coming into vogue in the 1970s, compared to the then-standard fire-and-brimstone style. Hourglass Plot : Laura and Nellie to some extent. In the early seasons, Laura is a likable heroine but becomes less nice when she grows up and gets married (attacking a woman she believes is having an affair with her husband, constantly snipping at her students, picking fights with her husband). On the other hand, her Alpha Bitch rival Nellie mellows out considerably when she grows up and gets married. Laura always had a short fuse and an attitude problem.

She actually mellowed out as she got older. I Am Not Pretty : Laura feels this way, especially in comparison to her sister Mary. I Have No Son : Invoked by Gambini in "Gambini the Great" to his oldest son Stephano. He comes around. If I Were a Rich Man : When Laura thinks she's found gold, she dreams of her family being extremely rich. They are dressed in beautiful clothes, own every business in town, and live in a castle. She can't resist adding a sulking Nellie Oleson and family glaring at her in sheer jealousy, all of them wearing dusty feed sacks and living in a ramshackle hut. Imaginary Friend : Carrie invents one in an episode. Improbable Hairstyle : This was filmed in the 1970s , you say? Michael Landon's massive perm is the most noticeable giveaway, but the longish, feathered 'dos on the younger men and boys sure don't help much. Plus, Landon is always freshly shaven, even when he spends several days somewhere without a razor. The real Charles Ingalls wore a full beard.

Infant Immortality : This trope is averted with the show being true to the infant mortality rates of the harsh frontier. Several babies and children die on this show. The Ingalls' first son, Charles Jr., dies of what seems to be leukemia before he even turns a year old. Mary's infant son is killed during a fire at the blind school. And she miscarried a year before that. Laura and Almanzo's unnamed newborn son dies suddenly during the night after becoming ill a few days before. (It is believed that he was conceived too soon after his parents recovered from diphtheria causing his illness and death.) Later the couple's hired handyman's infant dies and Laura and Almanzo attend the funeral. Laura later admits that the thing that really broke her heart was hearing the child's name being spoken due to never having the chance to name their own before he died. (The child's real life grave-marker reads Baby Son Wilder) Laura and Mary's friend Ellen drowns while the three are swimming together. Innocent Swearing : When the Ingalls move to Winoka in Season 5, Carrie learns and repeats the word "damn" from saloon patrons. This prompts Pa to give her a talk about good words vs.

bad words. Instrumental Theme Tune : Composed by David Rose. Yes, the same guy who did "The Stripper". Irish Explosives Expert : In an early episode, an out-of-work Pa joins an Irish "powder monkey" who knows where the two of them can get jobs blasting tunnels for the railroads. It Will Never Catch On : Mrs. Oleson's view of a southern colonel's idea of opening a restaurant that only serves fried chicken. Interesting in that the colonel was supposed to bring about the notion that this colonel was Colonel Sanders or at least that Mrs. Oleson was offered a chance to get in on the ground floor of a highly-successful restaurant idea, but she was too dumb/ignorant to realize it. Never mind that Colonel Sanders wasn't born until 1890 and that his idea only worked because of some clever marketing, a specific recipe, specific cooking techniques, and the fact that he could appeal to travelers who would otherwise not want to stop long enough to wait for chicken to cook (the cooking techniques took care of this problem). "Too dumb/ignorant"??

Her outright refusal of the colonel's offer is very understandable given that she had just been released from an unreasonable contract with another operator of a chain of restaurants. Also, the colonel's "gimmick" is that only fried chicken will be served, and Mrs. Oleson's last venture was unsuccessful in part due to her customers wanting more variety than the three or four choices offered. If anything, the lesson of the day was more that having been "burned" by a bad experience can blind one to legitimate opportunities. Also, at the time the books and series are set, the concept of "restaurant" wouldn't have applied in a community that size. Outside of big cities, restaurants fell into two primary categories: saloons and workingmen's diners, or the Harvey House chain of railroad-station eating houses. The concept of a family restaurant would not come along for several decades. Last Episode, New Character : Sherwood Montague. Rachel Brown also qualifies as this, since she marries Willie in the penultimate regular episode and was never seen before this. Longest Pregnancy Ever : While most characters on the show announced their pregnancy and gave birth in the same episode, Laura's pregnancy lasted almost a year in real time.

In "I Do Again", which aired in March 1981. she announces she's pregnant. She doesn't have her baby until a February 1982 episode. Loads and Loads of Characters : At any given point in the series, there were anywhere from 15 to more than two dozen characters that could be considered "regulars." In Season 1, for instance, there were the Ingalls, the Olesons, Miss Beadle, Dr. Baker, Rev. Alden, Mr. Edwards, and a number of schoolchildren that appeared in multiple episodes. This fluctuated throughout the rest of the series, with some only appearing as background characters and others having entire episodes about them. By the same token, since the regular character list was so extensive, most episodes only had a few characters at a time appear in any given episode, with others absent completely. Love at First Punch : Nellie falls for Percival after a mild food fight with him. Mandatory Line : Happened frequently due to the show having Loads and Loads of Characters . Supporting cast members and sometimes even the lead cast members would appear briefly in an episode where they served no real purpose, just to comment on the plot.

Mayï¿½December Romance : There are two. The first is between Dr. Baker and Harriet's niece Kate Thurvald. The second is between Isaiah Edwards and Laura's friend Jane Canfield. Neither one ends well. Melodrama : In almost every episode. Misplaced Wildlife : Owing to its being filmed in California, the calls of the California Quail can often be heard. The show is set in Minnesota. Missing Mom : The reason for why Nancy, the orphan with a severe behavior disorder who is adopted by the Olesons, is orphaned. However, Nancy's sob story explanation (she had loved her mother and couldn't figure out why she abandoned her) conflicts with the actual explanation: Her birth mother had died while giving birth to Nancy (today, the condition is known as preecclampsia); since a Disappeared Dad was also at play ï¿½ authorities were unable to determine and/or track down her biological father (given that DNA testing was more than 100 years from being perfected) ï¿½ she was sent to an orphanage. Eventually, Charles uncovers the truth and reveals it to both Laura and the Olesons, and it is Mrs.

Oleson, the series anti-hero, who helps Nancy come to terms with the truth. Mood Whiplash : Occurs often when an episode has a Downer Ending (examples include the first part of "I'll Be Waving as You Drive Away," "May We Make Them Proud," and "Gambini the Great.") We go from the melancholy ending to cheery music and that shot of a young Melissa Gilbert running through the grass with arms outstretched. The Mountains of Illinois : In this case, Minnesota. My Friends... and Zoidberg Nellie begins her commencement speech with "Fellow classmates, friends...and others" N-Word Privileges : The word "nigger" is used outright in at least three episodes, each dealing with racism. These include: "The Wisdom Of Solomon," where a young African American boy named Solomon (played by a pre- Diff'rent Strokes Todd Bridges) remarks to his classmates what he hates about being black: "Being called a nigger." "Blind Journey," a two-part episode depicting a journey students and staff of the School of the Blind take from Winoka to Mr. Hanson's old house near Walnut Grove; although Mrs.

Oleson is revealed to be strongly bigoted with hints of racism (revealed in her disappointment over African American teacher's aide Hester Sue Terhune (1950s pop vocalist Ketty Lester) not being an elite social lady), even she never utters the n-word (in fact, Harriet has a change of heart during the trip and comes to view the black children in a positive light). This is left to racist farmer Judd Larabee (Don Barry, the former title hero in the "Red Ryder" westerns) when he sees the Ingalls and other Blind School folks treating Hester Sue as a friend. "Barn Burner," where Larabee uses the epithet several times in an episode framed around African American farmer Joe Kagan (Moses Gunn, in a post- Good Times role). First, the farmers form a cooperative and on Charles Ingalls' persuasion invite Kagan, over Larabee's strong objections; later, when Larabee is accused of setting Jonathan Garvey's barn on fire and could hang for his crime, Kagan serves on the jury.

Ironically, Kagan is the only one who believes Larabee is innocent, and manages to continue his arguments long enough for Garvey's son, Andy, to admit he left a lighted lantern too close to the barn. Larabee is acquitted and upon finding out that Kagan thought he was innocent, doesn't even thank him . (Larabee made his final appearance in this episode, as it is soon revealed that he dies not long afterward, his family having left him and the townspeople shunning him.) "Dark Sage" where a black doctor named Caleb Ledoux arrives at Walnut Grove and can't find work because of his skin color. A racist farmer won't let the doctor treat his wife, despite her needing medical attention and calls Dr. Caleb the epithet. he ended up saving the farmer's wife and baby by performing an emergency cesarean section, something no one else in the town, even the regular doctor who believed medicine belonged to the white man, could do. The farmer is heavily chastised for being willing to let his wife and baby die before accepting help from a black man. New Neighbours as the Plot Demands : This show was extremely guilty of this. Nitro Express : Done with blasting oil in one episode.

No Accounting for Taste : Nels and Harriet Oleson argue constantly, and more than once, they've even separated, but the show makes clear on more than one occasion that it is a love match . No Celebrities Were Harmed : In the episode "Harriet's Happenings", Sterling Murdoch, who runs a newspaper in Walnut Grove that prints malicious gossip, is a thinly veiled Rupert Murdoch . At the end of the episode, Charles publicly berates Sterling and Harriet for their actions. Michael Landon was very vocal about his dislike for tabloids and the stories printed about his personal life, hence the premise of this episode. Nuclear Candle : In one episode, one of the girls is kidnapped and trapped in a pitch-black cellar; when her captor checks on her while holding a small candle, it's suddenly as if a spotlight was shining down. Obfuscating Disability : Nellie Olson fakes paralysis after falling off a horse so her parents will give her presents and Laura will be her slave out of guilt.

Covered Up : Laura proves Nellie is faking it by rolling Nellie down a hill to a pond, which looks just like the rolling-down-a-hill scene in Mac and Me shot 15 years later. Guess which one got the Memetic Mutation ? In the episode "Family Tree", Albert tricks his biological father into letting the Ingalls adopt him by pretending to be blind. In "Blind Man's Bluff" a boy injures himself and pretends to be blind to keep his parents from divorcing. Inverted in "Dearest Albert, I'll Miss You" when Albert's pen pal, Leslie, hides the fact that she uses a wheelchair from Albert. Obnoxious In-Laws : Harriet doesn't take it kindly that her daughter married a Jew, and Percival often enjoys snarking about Harriet's pompous personality. In addition, big time between the Olesons and Percival's family. Though Harriet and Percival's mother get along better, the Jewish father not so much.

Sibling Team : Laura and Albert Sinister Minister : A variant, Reverend Danforth from the Season 6 episode "The Faith Healer." He's not evil, but he's deluded himself into thinking that he really does have the spiritual gift of healing. This has made him so prideful that he maliciously tries to take Reverend Alden's church from him. He's also the secondhand cause of young Timothy Dodds' death. Timothy's dad took him to Danforth to treat a burst appendix, against medical advice. Timothy was then convinced his pain was gone, only to die of said burst appendix one scene later. Smoking Is Cool : Charles smokes a pipe in many episodes (Michael Landon was a real-life smoker). Despite the apparent glamorization, Charles does discourage Albert from taking up the habit in a segment played for laughs (Albert is sitting by the fireplace, mimicking his adopted father).

However, Albert does trying smoking a pipe again, with much more dire consequences; this comes in the 1980 episode "May We Make Them Proud," where Albert and a friend sneak into the basement of the School for the Blind to smoke, are shooed out and in haste, stuff a still-burning pipe in a box of towels. Later that night, the fire spreads to the upstairs, and ultimately traps and kills Alice Garvey (mother of Albert's best friend, Andy) and baby Adam Kendall (son of Mary and Adam Kendall). Snowed-In : Several episodes, often set around Christmas, including 1976's "The Blizzard" and 1981's "A Christmas They Never Forgot." The former was moreso an effort by worried parents to find their children who were about to be lost in a fast-moving blizzard; the latter featured the family (along with their friend, Hester Sue) sitting around the table sharing Christmas memories. Laura's Christmas memory includes flashback clips from the original pilot movie, where they meet Mr. Edwards.

Spelling Bee : One of these happens during the episode "Harriet's Happenings" Street Urchin : Albert, before the Ingalls take him back to Walnut Grove with them. Sudden School Uniform : When Mrs. Oleson took over the school. Yes, she owned the only store in town that sold clothes. Or cloth, for that matter... Suspiciously Similar Substitute : Nancy Oleson, for Nellie John Carter for Charles Ingalls. Not only does John move into Charlesï¿½ old house, but he also takes Charles' place at the mill and on the town council. He also stands up to the greedy railroad builders much the way Charles would have. Sweet Polly Oliver : In "Oleson Versus Oleson" Harriet disguises herself as a male ranch hand in order to spy on Nels and the other men at the mercantile, since the women in town have all moved into the hotel, leaving the men to take of the children and run the households themselves. Small Name, Big Ego : Mrs. Oleson never really catches on that her pompous, arrogant behavior does not enhance, and in fact diminishes, her family's standing.

Television Geography : Note the title, taken directly from the book, with its reference to the lush, rolling grasslands characteristic of much of central North America. The TV series is specifically set about midway through the trek, in Minnesota. Anybody surprised that the onscreen scenery routinely featured Southern California-style mountains, trees, scrub-brush, chaparral, etc? Didn't think so. You might find some people convinced the show took place in Kansas. This perception wasn't helped by the fact that the Wichita NBC station ran promos that stated the Ingalls were "Kansas' first family." Also, the pilot did take place in Kansas. Some viewers may have assumed they moved to a different part of Kansas rather than all the way back to Minnesota, especially after Charles bumps into Mr. Edwards again after only a few episodes.
