Season 8, Episode 20 – A Faraway Cry
The series theme song was titled "The Little House" and was written and conducted by David Rose. The ending theme music, also written by Rose, originally appeared as a piece of incidental music in a later-season episode of Michael Landon's previous long-running series, Bonanza. Just before Christmas in 1896, Laura and Almanzo and Mr. Edwards are shopping for gifts in Mankato when Rose is kidnapped by a grief stricken mother, prompting a desperate search. A young orphan boy, Sam, stows away in their wagon and becomes a key player in the search and its happy outcome. Jason begins doing odd jobs for an aging woman, Ruthy Leland (Vera Miles).
Little House on the Prairie (TV series)
In 1978, Anderson’s performance garnered her an Emmy nomination, but a few years later she left the show. “As far as what Mary could do, my character became limited because she couldn’t see … This, ultimately, is the reason why I decided not to stay with the show and only do three episodes in the eighth season,” she said. During the fourth season, Mary Ingalls went blind. “It was the only time in the history of television that a series regular had lost their sight and not gotten it back … ever,” Melissa Sue Anderson, who played Mary, told Albany Daily News.
Season 9, Episode 5 – Little Lou
However, Laura mentions in “Back to School, Part 2” that Charles dropped out of school at age 12 to be the “man of the house” and help support the family. This episode takes place in the late 1870s. Small towns and rural areas would not have a phone for several more years.
Also released are Complete Season boxset, the first two being non remastered and the latest version being the remastered Deluxe Edition. These original North American DVD sets included interviews with former cast members Alison Arngrim, Dabbs Greer and Dean Butler. Imavision also released a French-language version of the series. Both versions are in NTSC color and are coded for all regions.
Season 6, Episode 20 – Wilder and Wilder
The school, church, mill, and mercantile all reopen. Lars Hanson summons his final strength and appears before the townspeople to thank them for revitalizing the town he founded. Laura explains that Mr. Hanson died peacefully a few months later, happy in the knowledge that the town he loved would live on. The husband in the family that gives Mary accommodation has the same harsh beliefs and is also hostile towards Mary. After one of Mary's students tries to kiss her and she hits him to stop him, Miss Peel accuses Mary of being a 'Jezebel', and, feeling outnumbered, Mary retreats home. However, after a talk with her father, she goes back with Charles, and at a church meeting Mary takes on her opponents, and it emerges that Miss Peel cannot read, which is why she misquotes the Bible.
Also, in both cases, Laura is responsible for setting the whole thing up without Nellie or Nancy’s knowledge. In the scene where Nancy and Cassandra are at the water pump behind the school, notice how uneven Cassandra’s braids are. One is significantly thicker than the other.
Bateman said that Landon influenced him both as a director and as a sort of father figure. The crew loved him, the industry loved him, guys wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him,” Bateman said. For the first few weeks of filming, Arngrim’s own hair was transformed into a series of sausage curls via a torturous old-fashioned curling iron that had to be heated in an oven.
While talking to Laura about “giving up certain dreams,” when you get married, Caroline mentions that there were things she wanted to do, like continuing to teach. However, she couldn’t because she had her new married life to focus on. This doesn’t match up with what she told Mary in Season 3’s “I’ll Ride the Wind,” when she claimed that she didn’t remember the girl she was or the dreams she had before meeting Charles. There were several other characters in the series that were either based on the true-life story of Laura Ingalls Wilder or fictitious.
Mary, Laura, Nellie, and Willie visit Kezia and find out what a unique yet kind person she is. When Laura arrives home, she finds old Jack dead in the barn. Charles assumes Jack knew his time was coming and decided to spare everyone the sadness of watching him die, but Laura feels guilty about neglecting him. In tears, she and her family bury him in the meadow. Later, Charles brings home a stray dog (Bandit) that followed him home from Mankato after sniffing out his food stock, but Laura refuses to bond with the dog, still grieving the loss of Jack. Kezia speaks to Laura about how the dog only wants to love her, and how she also wants to love others but hasn't been accepted.
When Harriet Oleson’s niece Kate (Anne Archer, who played Michael Douglas’ wife in Fatal Attraction) comes to visit Walnut Grove, she and the much older Doc Baker fall in love fast. Ellin likes this episode for a few reasons. It’s the Ingalls family origin story and shows the immediate challenges they face as soon as they settle on the banks of Plum Creek, just outside Walnut Grove.
When they return home, they agree that they are the ones who are really successful and prosperous – with the love of their family. Ray Bolger returns as the happy-go-lucky-who-turned-bankrupt Toby Noe. He is staying with the Ingalls family, eating them out of house and home, when the spirited spinster Amanda Cooper catches his eye. Toby sets out to win her heart, but she is determined to keep him at arm's length. Meanwhile, Laura has a crush on schoolmate Jason and, with Albert's counsel, tries to get him to notice her.
