Mrs. Oleson finds an old Walnut Grove Bearer Bond and, claiming that she is owed over $14,000 in unpaid interest, uses it to have the town renamed Olesonville.

After losing two previous pregnancies to miscarriage, Louisa is once again pregnant and desperately ill, with a cruel husband who hates children and only sees wives as someone to cook and clean.

And seeing it through the eyes of this next generation makes it all the more special. Also, a little bit frustrating because the same things that we were writing about and talking about them, equal rights for women, equal rights for people of color, all that are still the same things we're fighting for today. I think we've inched forward, but certainly not enough for me anyway. "In the late summer of 1889", Almanzo and Laura's newborn son dies overnight from no obvious cause after having been proclaimed healthy by Doc Baker when he delivered him. At the memorial, Laura loudly blames Doc Baker for her baby's death and insists that he leave the graveside service.
When Laura's new strategy does not work, her Ma persuades her that she should be true to her real self. Eventually, Jimmy does notice her as a girl, and Laura has her first kiss with a boy. Charles takes Mary to Chicago, where he is attending the Grange Convention. There, Mary meets up with John Jr., who has started a job as a cub reporter for a newspaper.
Victor French as Isaiah Edwards
The show is a full-colour version of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s series of Little House books. The Little House on the Prairie books comprise a series of American children's novels written by Laura Ingalls Wilder (b. Laura Elizabeth Ingalls). The name "Little House" appears in the first and third novels in the series, while the third is identically titled Little House on the Prairie.
Laura suggests she take a teaching position to help them earn money for a new farm, but Almanzo objects and postpones the wedding. They continue to argue, and eventually, Laura breaks their engagement. Kyle Richards joined the cast of Little House on the Prairie in 1975, playing Alicia Edwards, the adopted daughter of Grace and Isaiah Edwards, for 18 episodes between seasons 2 and 8. He agrees to move to the city to work full-time on producing the tables for a trial period before selling the farm and moving the entire family and things go well at first, until a big furniture manufacturer copies the table and underprices them.
Charles and Caroline get carried away and run up a large debt at Oleson’s Mercantile. Ellin always found it interesting when the main characters leave the Grove for a trip to the big city where they are fish-out-of-water and do things like ride elevators. This episode sees Charles elected to represent the farmers of Hero Township at a Grange convention in Milwaukee. At the same time, Caroline gets an invitation to the 25th high school reunion in the same city, so they travel there together. Ellin turned this devotion into a weekly podcast Wild Nights on the Prairie with Ray Ellin. The show features guests and conversations regarding life lessons learned from the iconic TV show, which lasted nine seasons.
Family Fun
There are at least four generations of people who grew up with this show and there's a new generation that's watching it now. And that is another part of it that's just so mind-boggling to me. I didn't know it would be a successful television series certainly, and I had no idea then that I'd still be here talking about it and reveling in it 50 years later.
Ebenezer Sprague (Ted Gehring), the banker, is also said to leave Walnut Grove in the wake of the town going bankrupt. Season 4 was rumoured to have been the final season of the series, ending with Mary losing her eyesight. However, high ratings during the seasons run prompted the network to greenlight at least another season. The show continued for another 4 seasons and a spinoff often rebranded as season 9. Laura and her new friend, Andy Garvey, find an injured mother wolf trying to tend to her pack of cubs.
Laura looks after the baby, whom she names Grace, while Charles tries to find the parents. Charles first locates the young father, Bobbie, and together they find the mother who is his beloved, Anna. They had wanted to marry but she was taken away by her strictly religious father who is deeply embittered because his wife went off with another man. Fearing his reaction, Anna had managed to keep secret that she was pregnant and even that she had given birth, but then realized that she could not keep the baby while staying with her father.
But after more bad news, Mr. Edwards ends up in church where he prays and talks to Rev. Alden, who brings about a reconciliation with Charles. Laura and Almanzo's daughter Rose is baptized and Mr. Edwards becomes her godfather. When the drought continues, Almanzo loses his crop and the land. Laura suggests she take the teaching position in Radnor to help them earn money for a new farm, but Almanzo still objects and postpones the wedding. The relationship of Eliza Jane and Harve seems to blossom, but when she tells him she loves him, he reveals he is in love with someone else.
Nels takes a job at the saloon and they move into the rooming house next door, all of which are also owned by Standish. After Caroline complains about the small size of her kitchen, Charles decides to build an addition onto the house, but after starting the work he has to leave to take a rush delivery to Mankato. Caroline hires a handsome young handyman named Chris Nelson (Gil Gerard) to complete the job. Nellie and Mrs. Oleson don't help matters when they share Mary's suspicions. Eventually, Mary confronts Chris with her suspicions and tells him he must leave, only to find out later it was a misunderstanding. First, episodes from the show were available on VHS through a Columbia House club subscription.
After Alicia brings him lunch, she is endangered by a falling tree, and although Edwards saves her, he is hit by the tree, badly injuring one of his legs. Having to use a crutch and fearing he is crippled for life and will be a burden to his family, he falls into severe depression. Charles and Laura travel to visit, and after Laura seems to revive Edwards' old spirit, he suggests a hunting trip for the three.
Laura goes to Sleepy Eye to help Mary and Adam get the new blind school ready. Almanzo visits her, but their talk turns into another argument. However, Almanzo takes a second job so that he can secretly pay the shortfall of rent for the blind school, persuading Houston the caretaker to tell Laura that the landlord has reduced the rent. Then Laura sees Almanzo in town with a saloon girl and thinks he has found a new girlfriend.
