What would you have changed in a particular episode?


Got this idea from discussions about the Christmas Eve blizzard episode. What would you have preferred to see happen in a particular episode?

The last eps in Season 4. Mary seems to lose her sight very quickly. I don't think it would have occurred that fast.

reply

May We Make Them Proud. Mary was in the room with her baby AND THEN LEFT HIM when the house was on fire! If the baby was to be killed off, then why do it in such a way? Mary could have been with the others at the table and unable to get to the baby.

reply

Yes, that made no sense. I haven’t been able to rewatch that episode because it was too upsetting.

reply

I totally agree. ANY other way that could be plausible would have been better than Mary just up and leaving her baby to be burned to death. I think Landon was sadistically cruel in real life. Hersha/Alice was leaving the show because she made some demands so I could see Landon wanting to burn her character alive. Was this MSA/Mary's final season too? She was starting to make motion pictures and changing her image as a young, sexy, nymph so maybe this was Landon's way of getting back at her, too. That's a question I'd love MSA to answer.

Something funny…I just looked up Melissa Sue Anderson and today is her sixtieth birthday! (Born September 26 1962)

Instead of baking them brown, I think it would have been better if Alice had just kidnapped and run off with AdamJr. She became fearful of her reputation when she found out her first husband she never told anyone about and their daughter Sylvia were thinking about moving to WG. She simply wigged out. At least with this version we'd know that Alice was taking good care of AdamJr and everyone actually LIVES, happily ever after.

Barn Burner (Ssn 5 Ep 20). I think the town's people should have gotten together and beat Jud Larrabee to death with ax handles in the middle of a field somewhere.

In the episode where Pa ditches Ma for Nellie Olsen there should have been a bukakke scene

reply

Bukkake on who? Ma? LOL!!!! I'd pay good money to see that! Too funny. I always thought if I made a porn flick it would have a LHOP motif, called Little Whores on the Prairie about a young woman's entry into adulthood, and men. Lots of them. And chicks too. Still in those godawful pigtails. Ma doing bukkake would totally play against type, but she seemed to have a thing for those bully boys. Even dropped her eggs for them! Throw in a DP, or even a TP with the son. Even give Kezia a scene, I'm thinking anal. And JohnJr absolutely should have a power-bang with all the townsmen. Haha.

Now you're just being tasteless...

I totally would have hit Nellie tho. Was she ever a guest star somewhere like TJ Hooker or Simon and Simon?

reply

Hehe. Totally tasteless! She played a hooker on Fantasy Island I think and also did Love Boat. Weird how her career just fizzled. Bad agent, maybe.

reply

I've also never seen any of Dana Plato's "performance art." Kimberley and Nellie - AYE CHIHUAHUA!

reply

I don't like the episode where the girl is embarrassed of her fat father, and then he feels ashamed of himself and pretends to move out of town for work, but he's actually living in a storm room at the blind school and nearly dies in a fall. That girl shouldn't have been allowed to be such a brat to her sweet dad.
