  • Hass anyone noticed tht both adams and marys eyes are likee really pale blue almost like clear yet really pretty??

  • "Mary's learning to read!!" lol the way she said that was funny

  • Comment removed

  • @theluvbug1988 You would be amazed at how many things blind people can hear. He can hear that she does not pic up her fork for exampled. :)

  • Adam is hot in this episode

  • Adam knows where everything is at on her plate because that's the system they use to teach all of them he and didn't hear her clang her silverware had she picked up the fork....He has probably taught alot of other students before her.

    There is a website about how they did things back when she went to Iowa School for the blind..They were strict and everything was systematically done

  • @dinosammy1 Yes he knows everything and has a developed sense of touch and hearing.And i agree with you on the fact that people,especially teachers had to be strict with blind students.They taught them discipline.And Adam is fully right not to pity Mary.He wouldn't help her if he felt sorry for her.She just has to live again like a normal and seeing girl.

  • from the very beginning adams dry humour makes me laugh 'then we're going to wash up and see if we can eat without throwing it'

    LOL!!

  • theluvbug1988 I think he heard her eating with her hands (but i dont know how it sounds) and the man who owns the place probably told him where the peas are and utensils and such

  • Comment removed

  • Adam is a professional, thats why hes a teacher. when he went blind, he was trained well, and thats why he is training everyone else. yes i admit at times he looks like hes looking....thats probably just the actors mistake. but when the question of how does he know when she does this or that. he is aware through sounds, touch.... he became sensitive to every sense.

  • I guess Mary doesn't know that Adam is blind too!!!

  • I'm visually and hearing impaired (a.k.a. deaf/blind) and I must say...this episode is VERY helpful and encouraging to me! Soon I too, will be traveling for training just as Mary did however, my training will be for my blindness AND my deafness! I imagine it will be hard for me to say goodbye to my Mom as it was hard for Mary and her Pa.

  • @amandak450 your sick why would you say stuff like that dont you have any decency and self respect for yourself? 

  • Didn't Mary learn to play the toy piano when that travelling musician was in town?

  • UMMMMMMM....Whenever they touch hands like that(IKNOWIKNOW they kind of have to to learn but whatever) I totally MELT! cutest thing ever

  • I love how Adam is. Well, all of the LHOP men who I've liked. Him, Albert, Almanzo, Charles...wide range :) Other shows I mostly want to make out with the guys and do bad things to them ;) This show the guys are hot but I want to marry them...So sweet

  • ok so if adam is blind how did he know that mary was eating with her hands? and what about the food and the utensils?

  • @theluvbug1988 Adam confuses me. I never know when he is seeing and not seeing. Some scenes he looks like he is not blind, while others its the complete oppossite. However, he is suppose to be blind in this epi.

  • @Emotional2000 he confuses me too. well i guess they didn't think it through very hard. also i pretty much love you for putting up all these episodes haha. i love this show :)

  • @theluvbug1988 Thanks for thr kind words. They are appreciated! : D

  • @Emotional2000 well i've heard that when one sense is deprived the others become even more powerful to compensate.

  • @Emotional2000 It's not confusing. It's senses. He could tell she was using her hands for eating if he did not here the clinking of one of the utensils that were given to her. And remember, Adam has been in her shoes. And he has been through every thing that she has gone through or like any other student he had.

  • @theluvbug1988 I think its because Adam was blind for quite a time and got use to using his other senses such as hearing. Blind people as i have heard developpe their other senses and are more aware of things because the brain gets trained with these other senses. The sense that people use the most is their sight, so much that we are dependent on it. We normally dont use our sense of smelling for instance as much...anyway i think thats why Adam could tell that Mary was eating with her hands :)

  • @theluvbug1988 a blind persons other senses are more heightened so perhaps since he was "blind" he could hear when she moved her hands and knew or sensed that she picked the food up off the plate. Or yes bad editing :)

  • @theluvbug1988 He'd been blind virtually his entire life and could probably tell she didn't pick up her silverware because he knows what it should sound like. People who have been blind a really long time often have an acute sense of hearing, more so than sighted people, since they have to depend on it more. Sometimes they can even tell what kind of face you're making by the sound of your voice or the way you breathe.

  • @theluvbug1988 um people when they pick up a fork theres a clink

  • @theluvbug1988 I think he knew that she was eating with her fingers because he didn't hear the utensils. I also think it's just intuition, that he knows she's not going to eat correctly the first time because of her attitude so far.

  • @theluvbug1988  sound.

  • @theluvbug1988 He didn't hear the clinking of the utensils! *winks*

  • @theluvbug1988 When you are blind or lose one of your five senses -- in some way -- the others that you do have work for the one you lost. So in this case, Adam uses hearing to help him. If she picked up the fork and used it, it would have made a noise. He didn't hear anything, so he knew she wasn't using her fork. [This is just my opinion. The writers could have made a mistake.]

  • LOL! @ 8:03-4 Charles said that I can use the wood....but Jonathan hadn't said anything about the wood yet. Now, you see how many times I've seen this epi...lol.

  • Is adam blind too? I thought he could see but i'm not so sure.

  • @PurpleRain1994 Yes, he is blind too in this epi. He regains his sight in the epi "To See the Light." You can watch the 2 part epi on my channel. : D

  • @Emotional2000 Thanks x) I found out when I watched the rest of this episode. I just love little house on the prarie. Thanks sooo much for posting:)

  • @PurpleRain1994 You're welcome... : D

  • @PurpleRain1994 Adam has been blind since childhood. When Mary realizes he's blind too it makes her realize that she can do a lot more with her life than she thought possible. She gets the biggest smile. Even when Mary gets better, she's still scared and feels limited. When she knows Adam is blind, the fact that he's a teacher and had done so much for her and other students drops a lot of those limits she thought she had.

  • @PurpleRain1994 he used to, but he got a concation, then he got hurt from explosives and got his eyesight back, but he's use to being blind and knows sutff.

  • Linwood Boomer is a good actor, but completely unconvincing as a blind character. He keeps looking at Melissa Sue Anderson.

  • @praguephotog: well i think he does an amazing job. I can't imagine how hard it has to be to act like a blind person.

  • I like Mary and Adam better than Laura and almanzo, at first it was the opposite but when they married they argued all the time :/

  • @giniethesinger Yes so do I.Mary and adam are softer,they rarely argue.Almanzo and laura are well assorted but laura is not easy to live with just like almanzo.

  • @fisteberg I know! Laura was awesome and my fav character, but as she grew older and married almanzo, she started being this cranky teacher, lol. :D

  • The first part is soooooooooooooooooooo sad! I love the little house on the prairie series! I love this episode......its really heartwarming..............Than­ks for uploading!

  • @fairytalelover1011 You're welcome! : D

  • LOL "I care, because it's my job to teach you, if i don't teach you i don't get paid"

  • Losing your hearing is devastating. I took a 2 year program ini sign language and interpreting. I learned that you rely so much on your hearing. You can tell a person's personality, how they are talking, their language they are speaking in, etc just from hearing them. Of course, losing your sight must be just as devastating. I wonder if it's harder if you were sighted and then you lost your sight or if you are born blind.

  • Something I don't understand; from the books you get the impression that Mary wrote the letters to her family herself... but... if she wrote braile how could they READ it?

  • She didnt write the letters in braile. she wrote the letters using the ruler, that is what here Ma and dad where talking about when they got her letter.

  • Yeah... I figured that later...

    Still quite and awesome handwriting she's got... being able to write readeble even though she's blind...

  • 00.00-02.06 is my favourite part of this episode! :D lol adam's so hardcore haha!! its so funny when he says: Do it, Mary! hahaha lmao <3

  • Adam is me favorite :D

  • Comment removed

  • it's funny that you don't know that Adam is also blind until the end...lol

    he's awesome! sigh....

  • Actually, when he first comes on the scene you can tell he's blind because he feels his way along the wall, etc.

  • I love Adam. I have zero patience with the helpless thing as well. Nobody is perfect, and everyone has to learn to adapt to their conditions. This starts out very sad, but turns into a remarkable episode.

  • Adam's awesome. In my opinion, Adam and Mary are a better couple than Laura and Almanzo.

    Adam's got that tough love thing going on and he knows just how far to push her to make her come out of that rut she's in. I like them together. Wish there were a lot more episodes of them together in the series.

  • While I personally like Laura/Almanzo slightly better, I see where you're coming from. Mary/Adam were a more mature couple who took things more seriously, while Laura/Almanzo were portrayed as two crazy young kids in love and getting way ahead of themselves when they courted.

  • I agree I never liked the relationship with Laura and Almonzo in the tv series.

  • I'm sorry for Mary.

  • "walk tord me"

    "i dont want to"

    ''do it mary" hahah

  • mary got blind->found Adam

  • i know! it worked out perfectly lol

  • Mary is so stubborn (1:30)

  • Comment removed

  • Haha I love Adam. He's so cute. I would totally marry him. :)

  • @SomedayBroadway101 You're right Adam Kendall(Linwood Boomer) is sweet :D

  • too bad she never got to see what a gorgeous man she got married to, that Adam is one hottie!

  • they can see with their hands

  • I think they can see with their hearts.

  • absolutly

  • love how they are reading from a brail bible...my friend has one two...

  • wait can adam see

  • no, not yet.

  • ..and God said :"but there'll be light". very metaphoric,about darkness and light...

  • I absolutely agree... but the verse goes... and God said "let there be light". I also like how Mary realizes that no matter how bad we think our situation is there is always someone who is worse off. Like the little girl who lost her parents. Very humbling.

  • Thank you!I'm italian so I hadn't understood well the verse.I think it's the Genesis' beginning,isn't it?I agree with you about Mary too.You know, I was very concerned in this episode because I had a uncle who was blind,he had lost his sight at the age of 3 for a disease,but he had a great personality, he graduated at university and went to teach in a school.And then,he married a blind woman (!),and they had a child (not blind), who's about my age.

  • yes, Genesis 1:3. Thanks for sharing about your uncle.. just goes to show that blindness can't keep you from your dreams or take away your happiness.

  • Yes..it's just like this.

  • ...my uncle died some years ago, and I remember he was a fantastic, gentle and intelligent person, so...these scenes made me think a lot about him and his life.

  • Adam is beautiful....& as a blind & intiutive person, he knows exactly how far he can & needs to push Mary. It's breathtaking to watch him....& them together.

  • Man, her eyelashes look about eight miles long in that piano scene, lol. Thank you so much for uploading these; I haven't seen them in ages.

  • I love laura and almanzo better!!!! Laura has always been my fave she knew what man would be her husband!!! Patty 33 who love lhotp

  • does marry know that adam is blind?

  • Watch to find out..lol I don't want to give it away.. : D

  • Well, did Adam tell her that he is blind? Or did Mary say anything like "Oh wow far out man, you are like totally blind Dude!"

  • Adam: I care. Because it's my job to teach you. If I don't teach you, I don't get paid.

    ROFL ROFL. Mary deserved that. :)

  • y do they have a blind guy teaching another blinde person?

  • I hate to give away the epi....

    SPOILER: Yes

  • He might be a better teacher since he's blind too. He knows how they feel.

    But I dunno. :P

  • Who better to teach a blind person than someone who is already blind? He's already been through all that she is going through now.

  • But actualy hearing is the most important sense, becuase you usualy hear danger, not see it. You hear cars, you hear the smoke alarm, you hear people screaming.

    But sight is the greatest sense, becuase it is everything. I would hate to be blind.

    But you can learn to Imagine, Make up new sights in your mind. But it would never be like the real thing. It's awfull.

  • I prefer seeing than hearing. I wouldn't want to lose either one. But I'm just saying if I did, I would want to definetly keep my sight...

  • Agreed. While neither is pleasant and I *certainly* would miss music horribly, deafness is somewhat less debilitating than blindness, because the information about the world the eyes provide is far more comprehensive.

  • And when are YouTube going to fix the comment system? Half of the time you try to reply to someone else's comment but it just ends up at the top of the thread, totally out of context.

  • @Emotional2000 i am deaf, and i would have to say that sight is definatly the most important sense, i use sight to make up for what i cant hear.

  • Hi gosh1994 and thanks for sharing... And I would have definetly agree with you... I value my eyesight over all my other senses. I really don't know what I would do if I couldn't see anymore. My guess, is that I would be upset/heartbroken as Mary was in this epi.

  • Thanks for all the LHOP episodes emotional2000...I don't have to wait for my favorite episodes to come on television, when I can come right on here. I appreciate all that you do emotional2000. :D

  • You're welcome Ronteria777! I happy my channel could be of assistance to you as well as other LHOP fans. Enjoy them all... : D

  • Adam is sexy

  • That he is! : D

  • oh yea lol

  • yes, he is blind

  • Is adam blind in this epi?

  • Yes

  • I thought Braille was read with only one hand?

  • adam and mary are cue toghther!

  • adams and mary are a great and beautiful couple, mary is beautiful and pretty

  • Learning to cope with a bad condition such as blindness is never easy to begin with. And how does he expect her to clean up the mess if she can't see where it is?

  • adam is blind he didnt get blind from scarlett fever like mary did he had an acident when he was a child

  • i swear that adam and mary are the cutest couple on little house.

  • i agree they are the best couple

  • Haha Adam is so funny in this!! ;)

  • Yeah, he's about to explode at 1:58, that makes him even funnier lol

  • i thought adam was blind, he doesn't look blind

  • he is for now

  • I have a question: not relevant to this clip but to another one the one where Mary's baby gets lost in the fire: doea this actually happen in the book?

  • No. Actually, in real life Mary never marries. She lives with her parents until they die, then with Grace, then with Carrie until she died herself.

  • i know that he is trying to teach her but hello she had just found out she was blind. give her some time to process it in.

  • Keep in mind that there'd been a period of time that had passed between her going blind and being sent to the school. But you could argue one of the reasons he was so hard on her was because he'd done the same things and had to reteach her how to live a normal life.

  • Hey thanks for always replying to all fo us!!! We LOVE YOU for posting all of these episodes!!!!

  • You're welcome Saymyname280. I have to keep up with my Prairie gossip somehow... lol :)

  • I agree Shakespeareuk. I think Mary needed to get over her self pity before she could really "see" Adam as a potential beau.

  • Oh!! This is my favourite episode!!

  • Cool! :)

  • thanks for the upload!!!!! can u upload the episode were mary has a baby ive never seen that one before

  • Hmmm... I'll have to check and see if I have it. Do you know the name of the epi vball14chick?

  • no im sorry

  • thank you, thank u, thank u!

  • You're most welcome gwbushfan1982! :)

  • ohhh adam is really cheeky O.O
