oh this is the episode where percival comes into the picture ! I love these episodes, just to see how that nerdy looking boy can keep nellie under his tumb.
Thanks for the information, as I've not read the book. I'm so glad that Almanzo seeks Laura out, rather then the other way around, as that is the way it should be. Again: Thanks!!
The funny thing is, Mary was only 16 the season before this when she got married. Laura's age ended up being a huge issue these next couple episodes, yet it wasn't that way for Mary. Either it was really just an issue because Almanzo was in his 20's or the writers were just trying to think of an interesting plot to get high ratings.
@katya355 Not that parents have favorites but Halfpint has always been the apple of her Pa's eye, and there has always been a special bond between the two, so he just doesn't want to loose her to another man, he feels like he is losing the little girl who only a few minutes ago was still wanting to go out fishing or hunting with him ! (As Heartland's song says, I loved her first ^^ ).
@katya355 Good points. I've been pondering the same thing. Also maybe the writers had gotten or were worried about getting flack from the public about how young Mary was. Even though things were different back then. Context can be everything.
God, it sounds like hes gonna break up with her. I'd be FAH-reakin' out! "Some things are hard to say." in a really depressed voice=it's over, sorry in my paranoid language
Laura would have never worn her hair down in public and certainly not in front of a suitor. I severely doubt Almanzo's hair looked like it was cut in the 70's and I'm certain Pa didn't have an afro. I've heard about Little House on the Prairie TV show most of my life and I have been very disappointed to see how poorly the series was done.
Eh, Hariett shows her better sides in some of the episodes. And she was lucky to have met someone like her husband- the only righ man for her. But, all in all, she adds colour to the show, to be honest. And the actress did her part very very welll
Soo true what y'all say about Harriet............but she really does make the show, along with Pa!...and how come Pa always loves the food but can never have seconds? AWLAYS happens.
can someone please tell me in what episode laura first time met Almanzo and then there were a bully boy who almoust started to fight with albert but then manly runs between them and so on..? :)
@Annika994 Oh, and the first time Almanzo comes into the series is in the Back to School episode. It's in two parts. Watch the 2nd video in the first part that Emotional2000 uploaded.
I'm only in junior high, but I love watching little house on the prairie. It never gets old!! it's kind of sad though, because nobody else my age has heard of it until I tell them.
Too bad you weren't around when it was in it's prime! When I was your age, I looked forward to LHOP episodes every week. Of course, if you were around then you'd be an old lady now! hah hah Glad to see the youngins watch decent shows!
That's awsome, i watched it when it first came out, i was in jr high school, i have loved it ever since. Right on for the young people that have great taste in tv today. Keep on the good side of life, being a pioneer was hard work in those times. I was married to a decendent of the wilder's and i know it to be true because there is a whole book on it. my ex hubby's grandma was a wilder. Enjoy, god bless you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's so funny you ask that because I can't believe how many people don't realise she got her nose done. I think it's so obviously. You may notice it now that I have said something. Especially if you compare side by sides. Well good for her that few people notice I guess. :)
Omg you guys are so wrong... This programme came out the same year my mother was born. and when she was little they didn't have plastic surgery.. so you guys are really stupid..
Didn't Ingalls say one time that he's parents married when they were 12 or 13? That would be a disaster now days. I've known many people who got married out of high school, all of them eventually divorced!
At the age of 12 and 13, you don't even really know yourself much less having to get to know your spouse. It is not suprising that many divorce overtime because when they do discover themself, they have realized that they have made a huge mistake.
Haha, meowing the song, I am 33.. when did 33 or even 38 become old. We are wise enough to enjoy life and have the skills to do so. :) It helps to look 27 too :)
Thanks for running this, my favorite episode from the series. Despite the character's attitude, I've had a crush on Nellie Oleson and she's never looked more beautiful.
@Setebos Damn straight! Nellie was a hottie! Alison Arngram is a great actress, and she said it best: "Anyone can be nice, it takes talent to be a BITCH!"
LMAO!!!!!! MRS. INGALLS is JUST a peasant...I LOVE Harriet. I know shes crabby and spoiled but she makes me laugh so hard! And I love it when she get soft...a rarity LOL!
My dad passed away in 1984 around the same time little house on the show came to and end I was 9 at the time. Pa from the the show reminded me of my dad. This show brings back good memories thank you for all the post
@ladydeathdonna I remember watchin this when I was like 3 or 4 can't remember more from back then than Charles ridin his wagon through the landscape from back then. Been watchin it thousand times since then and never get fed up with it...not yet...lol
in that time, at least according to laura in her books, women were expected to fulfill their roles as domesticated wives, with a smile on their face. some were suited to it, like ma and mary, but laura always said she was not suited to it and would not get married. she even told almanzo that she would not and could not say she would 'obey' him in her vows. he strongly agreed that that was wrong and that he would never ask her to do that. and of course, almanzo asked pa for laura's hand first
Correct! However, I wonder if Laura suffered any hardships for being so strong willed and an independent thinker... Because as you implied, in those days women were to do as their told. What do you think?
I think Laura at least suffered some inner turmoil. Even though Miss Wilder, Eliza, is in the books, here in the show her storyline is fictional as far as I can tell. But I'll bet there were the 'spinsters' that really suffered for it. I know Ma, even sometimes had a hard time with saying, 'You know best, Charles', which she often said. Especially when she did not want to move further west when they were on Plum Creek.
@Emotional2000 I bet she did. Simply because the people that my family know are always insinuating that when I get married I'm going to do the cooking and the cleaning, and when I inform them that I will be working and my husband and I are going to share the work, they look at me and begin talking to me as if I were a child who does not understand the world or as if I am a fool who will in time see reality as it should be. They give me a very hard time of it. Thus, I'm sure Laura had a hard time
Why is Laura out of the conversation??? It's supposed to be HER wedding too!!! How could women stand such things at this time? Fortunately, there are many LHOTP epis where women are very smart and strong! Thanks a lot for all your wonderfull work, emotional2000!
Emotional--you do a great job posting these, good quality, and good syncing of the voices (something posters of other shows have trouble with). Thanks!
You're welcome Tealorca and thanx for the comment.. Its appreciated! I work hard to bring LHOP fans the very best in picture quality.... I am glad you noticed my efforts... : )
I had to re-jog my memory, but this should clear up some questions:
In syndication, "Sweet 16" and "He Loves Me" are aired back to back, so it looks like Laura and Almanzo dated for just a week. However, in 1980 when it was shown for the first time, there was a two-month hiatus between the episodes. I can't remember why; I may do some research on it. When Almanzo proposed, several months had passed. Then in September 1980, when "Laura Ingalls Wilder" was shown, several more months had passed.
You may have noticed that the best or most sensational episodes of LHOTP had two things in common:
"Written by Michael Landon"
"Directed by Michael Landon"
When you saw that in the opening credits, you KNEW something was going happen. When this episode first aired and Laura read that letter by the lake, I KNOW I stopped breathing! I don't know what happened after "Sweet 16," but Dean Butler and Melissa Gilbert had much better chemistry starting with this episode.
My sister and I can pretty much quote the entire script from this episode and "Sylvia."
IIRC, there was a hiatus between "Sweet 16" and "He Loves Me." I know "Sweet 16" was on during the February sweeps and "He Loves Me" during the May sweeps. It may have just be reruns in-between, but I will check some old TV listings later to be sure.
Boys are so shy to admit their feelings... Almanzo is so uncomfortable!

in that time, at least according to laura in her books, women were expected to fulfill their roles as domesticated wives, with a smile on their face. some were suited to it, like ma and mary, but laura always said she was not suited to it and would not get married. she even told almanzo that she would not and could not say she would 'obey' him in her vows. he strongly agreed that that was wrong and that he would never ask her to do that. and of course, almanzo asked pa for laura's hand first

Correct! However, I wonder if Laura suffered any hardships for being so strong willed and an independent thinker... Because as you implied, in those days women were to do as their told. What do you think?
Emotional2000 3 years ago
I think Laura at least suffered some inner turmoil. Even though Miss Wilder, Eliza, is in the books, here in the show her storyline is fictional as far as I can tell. But I'll bet there were the 'spinsters' that really suffered for it. I know Ma, even sometimes had a hard time with saying, 'You know best, Charles', which she often said. Especially when she did not want to move further west when they were on Plum Creek.

@Emotional2000 I bet she did. Simply because the people that my family know are always insinuating that when I get married I'm going to do the cooking and the cleaning, and when I inform them that I will be working and my husband and I are going to share the work, they look at me and begin talking to me as if I were a child who does not understand the world or as if I am a fool who will in time see reality as it should be. They give me a very hard time of it. Thus, I'm sure Laura had a hard time

Why is Laura out of the conversation??? It's supposed to be HER wedding too!!! How could women stand such things at this time? Fortunately, there are many LHOTP epis where women are very smart and strong! Thanks a lot for all your wonderfull work, emotional2000!

Emotional--you do a great job posting these, good quality, and good syncing of the voices (something posters of other shows have trouble with). Thanks!

I had to re-jog my memory, but this should clear up some questions:
In syndication, "Sweet 16" and "He Loves Me" are aired back to back, so it looks like Laura and Almanzo dated for just a week. However, in 1980 when it was shown for the first time, there was a two-month hiatus between the episodes. I can't remember why; I may do some research on it. When Almanzo proposed, several months had passed. Then in September 1980, when "Laura Ingalls Wilder" was shown, several more months had passed.

Well, here are some air dates on the LHOP epi's you mentioned.
Sweet 16 aired Feb. 25,1980
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not part 1 aired May 5, 1980 and He Loves Me, He Loves Not part aired on May 12, 1980

Thanks...I knew the air dates, I just had to figure out what went on in-between. I posted that earlier. I need to keep my posts more organized!

You may have noticed that the best or most sensational episodes of LHOTP had two things in common:
"Written by Michael Landon"
"Directed by Michael Landon"
When you saw that in the opening credits, you KNEW something was going happen. When this episode first aired and Laura read that letter by the lake, I KNOW I stopped breathing! I don't know what happened after "Sweet 16," but Dean Butler and Melissa Gilbert had much better chemistry starting with this episode.

His son, Michael Landon Jr. is following in his footsteps, and doing a super job. I loved "The Last Sin Eater" and many of his other works.

My sister and I can pretty much quote the entire script from this episode and "Sylvia."
IIRC, there was a hiatus between "Sweet 16" and "He Loves Me." I know "Sweet 16" was on during the February sweeps and "He Loves Me" during the May sweeps. It may have just be reruns in-between, but I will check some old TV listings later to be sure.
