True. Chuck probably would have been better off having remained a bachelor.
John Muir was another one with the wandering foot. He was rarely with his family at his home in Martinez CA, and was often traipsing about in places such as Yosemite.
I heard about this the other day. That’s too bad.
I personally thought that she was quite pretty when she was in little house.

Good to know. You learn something new here everyday. But just so that you know. I was just being silly 😉
<blockquote>I never remember her being talented, funny, or good looking. She's always seemed like an annoying loudmouth to me. </blockquote>
Don’t disagree with anything that you’ve said. But if you go back far enough, there was a time when she was kinda just “okay looking”.
Yeah, I think the first time that I saw the robot cry, I lost all hope for the show 😂
Yes, I’ve heard before both versions of Jonathan Harris personal life. But I think it was probably the shrill, flamboyant persona that he adopted in the later camp episodes, that cemented these rumors. People also thought he was British. Then again, everyone sounded British in old Hollywood 🙂
True. Dr Smith was actually an evil genius in the first season, that you could take seriously. I’ve heard Bill Mumy on Coast To Coast Am a few times. Seems to be a likable and talented guy. Also seems to age slowly.
Batman, even with the camp, was such a great, and cutting edge 60’s show!
I would think the other site has gone as far as it will ever go.

I’m a fan of the show as well, Gamey. I read once that the reason that the show deviated from its first season as a serious Sci Fi show, and went down the road to “Camp” was due to the Campy Batman series taking ratings away from it.
Agreed about the other site. Perhaps no more than 30 regular posters, and perhaps 50 to 75 very part time posters, at most.
Yo G! Funny, because I only check in at this site about once a day in the morning to see if I got any messages. But I happened to check in just now, and saw that you had just replied.
Hope you're well 🙂

<blockquote>Somehow I missed the reason why they were living there</blockquote>
As I recall, the Ingalls were having a tough time making ends meet in Walnut Grove, so they sold their farm to the Carter’s, and moved to the big city.
I think that the idea was for Charles to bring Albert back to WG, to get him away from the bad crowd that he was hanging out with, and to get cleaned up. I generally didn’t care for the character of Albert, but thought that he did a first rate job of playing an addict in these episodes.
<blockquote>What big city is there in Iowa?</blockquote>
This is where there’s a bit of a goof. The “big city” that they were said to have moved to, was supposed to be Burr Oak Iowa, which I’m pretty sure is still a small town to this very day.
This is also where there’s an overlap between the real life Ingalls family, and the television Ingalls. The real Ingalls family indeed lived in Burr Oak Iowa for a year. They left Walnut Grove and moved there to help their friends run The Masters Hotel. They were unhappy there, and missed their friends in Walnut Grove, so they moved back.
I don’t recall the exact reason stated in the Winoka episodes. However, I do have a theory on the basis of these episodes. I believe that these episodes are based on the real life move of the Ingalls, when they left Walnut Grove, and moved to Burr Oak Iowa. There are a lot of similarities to the little house Winoka episodes. This is not mentioned in the children’s books, but the real Ingalls family lived in Walnut Grove twice. I think this was also about the same time that baby Freddie died. They only lived there a year before moving back to Walnut Grove.
<blockquote>In 1876, when Laura was nine years old, the Ingalls family left Walnut Grove, Minnesota, after suffering through two years of grasshopper plagues. They traveled to Burr Oak, Iowa, to help manage the Masters Hotel, owned by their friend, William Steadman, also from Walnut Grove. Burr Oak is often referred to as “The Missing Link” in the Little House book series.</blockquote>

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated. I’m doing well. I still lurk here from time to time. I keep meaning to post in the little house board again, but it seems I never find the time.
Cool. Why not. If nothing else, sometimes it helps to restart a topic 🙂
Lol. Funny how I don’t even remember making half of these posts, from just a few years prior 😂
That’s because it’s an awesome show! Speaking of which, Hallmark was playing it back to back the other day, and playing all the films, such as A look back to yesterday, Bless All the Dear Children, and the finale where they blew the town up.
I got the entire DVD set a few years back, and have hardly watched it since. I have to do something about that. I miss the active little house board that we had at IMDB, and sadly, don’t think we’ll ever have again, what we had there.
I heard a different version once before. Edwards did appear in the second book in the series, little house on the prairie. He also appeared briefly in one of the later books, once they were living in Dakota territory. But census records for Independence Kansas at the time, didn’t show anyone by the name of Edwards living in that place at that time. Not that this necessarily means anything. They might have just overlooked him.
One possibility that I heard was that the real Laura simply made him up. Another was that he was a conglomeration of different men (Similar to “the 3 Nellie’s”) that were kind towards the Ingalls along their various travels . It’s kind of surprising that the real Laura was alive up until 1957, and no one thought to ask her to sort this out 😄
But Garvey, yeah, he was totally made up.
You’re welcome. I broke down and got the entire series on DVD, for $75, from Amazon a few years back, which included all the movies. Funny thing is, I’ve hardly watched it since then, lol.
<blockquote>You're thinking of the Mid-Atlantic accent (British/American hybrid) which was adopted by many American actors/broadcasters in the early 20th century</blockquote>
Yes, that’s what I was thinking. A great example of this can be heard in Truman Bradley, at the 10:45 and 27:30 marks below, if you wish to check it out. Though the player is a bit of a hassle to navigate.
I was not aware of Received Pronunciation, which is interesting.
Thanks

Yes, it looks like you can get it on youtube. I was surprised, because I know that previously (Though some time back now) all of the full episodes were purged from youtube due to copyright violations.
It’s worth checking out though. If you read the book titled: Little House On The Prairie, the second of Laura Ingalls books, it mirrors it pretty closely. Though the Pa in the books was a more sympathetic and likable character than the television version.
Here it is. Though it looks like there might be a second part to it.
