They never mention Doc Baker or Willie Olson (Jonathan Gilbert--at least I think that is his first name. He was Melissa Gilbert's brother!). I would have thought that two major characters like this would have been introduced. Along with Almonzo (Dean Butler) considering he had a major role as well. They mentioned Jenny but not Doc Baker, Willie, or Almonzo? Seems odd to me.

I agree with you kittykatkafe! They should have atleast mentioned Willie, Doc Baker & Almanzo!

[broadwaystar112233]

they also did not mention how they casted carrie...

At least you can say "oh they forgot, they made a huge mistake" when it comes to Dr Baker and Almonzo. But not mentioning WILLIE OLESON is a disgrace, an insult to the actor and millions of people around the world. I thought these people are pros, even if they happen to dislike an actor. I wouldnt watch any LHOP episodes if someone told me they have deleted all Willie Oleson parts. That kid annoyed us :-), a character we loved to hate, it wouldnt be the same without him.

To not pay homage to the late Kevin Hagen as Doc Baker is a sin! He was a wonderful actor. Doc Baker was my favorite male character on Little House.

It was a nice review of the characters that she talked about, but she missed a lot of people from LH.

There was also no menton of Lindsey Sidney Greenbush, Carry, or Allison Balson who played Nancy on LHOTP.

I liked the early episodes best.I liked Jonathan Garvey( Merlin Olsen) he reminded me so much of my Uncle.Little House was a good desent family show.That you just don't see anymore on TV today.Television shows just get worse as the decades go by.I'm so glad that I grew up with shows like Little House and The Waltons.Kids today grow up with shows that teach them to have no respect for themselves or tords others.

ya i agree with kittykatkafe,& sevenwicks,and maybe even grace,issia,caroline,and charles!!!

[mklh4]

What about Willie, Doc Baker and Almonzo? :(

@kittykatkafe

The reason that they mentioned Jenny was that the actress who played her, Shannen Dougherty, went on to greater fame in Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed.

Dr. Baker was such a prominant character throughout the whole show but they didn`t mention him. What a shame!
