  • This is one of my favorite episodes.

    Michael Landon wrote this one, and, did a good job.

    I also like things, that are rare to see.

    For instance, Mary getting in trouble.

  • @1mnmafan she stormed out because she was so hurt because she knew she could have won. Also, I think she felt she let me Beadle down.

  • I cant help but cry. OMG Little House will always be my favorite televison series. This is real TV. This crap on tv now is all about people backstabbing each other. I have found myself going back and watching retro tv.

  • what doesnt make sense is why did mary storm out upset because she know she didnt win because she didnt take the examination

  • Wished they had wholesome programming like this now! Can't beat LHOP!! It's the best show ever.

  • when she handed laura the letter my first thought was doesn't she have pockets? and when i thought she might not, my second was, she should use her bra...lol me=idiot

  • hahahaha mary looked like a demon while they were announcing the winner

  • If Mary didn't take the exam, what was she doing in the school when the exam was going on!? please reply!

  • @linkaqt1 I think she was writing the note during the exam.

  • @linkaqt1 Writing her memoir about LHOTP, "The Way I See It".

  • @greenwich1754 yea right!

  • just think eventually they had 5 kids living there

  • Maybe it's just the historical context but here Mary strikes me as someone who is obedient beyond reason. I would have taken the exam any way.

  • she didn't go against her mother's wishes. Mary's a good child.

  • Mary is my favourite character and I think she would have deserved a little more attention. I know Laura is the main character and that Mary is supposed to be the quiet always studying type, but somehow she makes a very good contrast for Laura and I think they should have built more on the relationship between the two of them. This is a very good episode, though and I love the show. Its like one big guideline for how to act or not to act in life, for children and adults alike.

  • I so sad ! But Caroline is good !

    i love the Caroline/Mary relationship

  • I'm just glad Nellie didn't win the award!

  • Comment removed

  • @FToniS yep and she had every reference book lol!

  • Mary and Caroline's relationship reminds me so much of me and my mother. She passed away when I was 17 and watching Little House always reminds me of her because we used to watch it together. Thanks for uploading these episodes. :)

  • Ma totally owes Mary a dictionary.

  • Yeah - she did everything right to own up for the fire, clean the barn, work for the bool, and then also tell the teacher the truth....one felt so sorry in the end, because obviously she did not mean to start the fire... in those days it must have been hard with everyone living so cramped....so one can understand her wanting to be alone to do what she was right ... which was of all things studying !

  • She also owes her the opportunity to take the test!

  • So moving!!!

    I'm all tearing...

    Thanks for a great episode!!!
