shareLoved all of those episodes!
I just saw a later one, entitled "Love Child" (1970), written by Michael Landon.
It's about a woman who had a child out-of-wedlock (her parents are neighbors of the Cartwrights), who finds out she has just a few months to live (leukemia, I think). The boy who plays her son is one of the most adorable little guys i remember from that time - he was really a gem. It was such a sad episode, yet uplifting at the same time.
I couldn't warm up to Mitch Vogel as Jaime, but when he played Tommy in The Real People of Muddy Creek, he was a cute little tyke.
shareFeet of Clay, Season 1, Episode 30.
