Little House: Fifty for 50 Podcast

Alison shares her Paris adventures (yes, including some rodent encounters), Dean dishes on their exciting new ventures with Prairie Legacy Productions, and Pamela goes on a rant against possums (apologies to the possum lovers out there).

But then—on to the main event!
We’re recapping another standout episode from Season 1: “School Mom”. 
Caroline Ingalls steps in as the earthy and compassionate substitute teacher, helping a student in need named Able.

And we ask the most important question:
Why does Able look like he’s 42 years old?
Able was played by Dirk Blocker, the son of Bonanza legend Dan Blocker and the best friend and mentor of Michael Landon, and shockingly, was only 17 when the episode was filmed. After his father, Dan’s passing, Michael Landon brought Dirk into the Little House family to honor his dad’s legacy—and wow, did he deliver.

Alison and Dean also reveal a shocking tidbit about Miss Beadle’s stunt double (you won’t believe it!) and ask the pressing question: where does Miss Beadle actually live?

Pa steps up in peak “Chesty Charles” fashion, cooking dinner for Caroline after her long day of teaching (ladies, we all know how hot that is—gentlemen, take notes).

We also dive into how the relationship between Karen Grassle and Michael Landon shifted over time, leading to Karen’s role being gradually diminished. Alison opens up about how this impacted her and the rest of the cast—and how Karen still showed up, always delivering powerful, heartfelt performances.

And of course, no Little House episode recap is complete without calling out the real villains of the Prairie: the school children. Seriously, Walnut Grove, do better! Honestly, the level of petty in that classroom (including Mrs. Oleson) is chef’s kiss terrible.

This Ma-centric episode is a beautiful example of empathy, compassion, and patience. It tugs at every heartstring and proves once again why Caroline Ingalls remains the #1 mom of all time. 

Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon where Alison and Dean will spill the beans about Prairie Legacy Productions, and what's in store for 2025!

We kick things off with a little chat about Alison Balson, who played the unforgettable Nancy Oleson, along with some fond (and hilarious) memories from Dean and Alison. Here's a quick shout-out to Nancy—she brought a whole new level of wild to Walnut Grove! Let’s hear it for a little Nancy love!

Now, cue the bug spray and brace yourself—it's time for The Campout!
An epic misadventure in the great outdoors where the Olesons and the Ingalls attempt a relaxing weekend of camping, (spoiler: no one was relaxed), a questionable school project and some very odd ideas of what one would consider a "vacation".

This episode marks the beginning of Katherine MacGregor’s comedic brilliance on the show, while also giving us a peek into Mrs. Oleson’s more vulnerable side. Yes, underneath all the feathers and finger-pointing, she’s got feelings! And this peek behind the curtain only deepened our love-hate obsession with her. It also opened up a whole new dimension to the Olesons and deepened our love-hate relationship with them. Especially the hate part.

Alison spills the tea on what the Olesons were actually eating at that dinner table, how they filmed the now-iconic floating-down-the-river moment (it was way more dangerous than it looked), and the very creative (read: gross) way she and Melissa Gilbert stayed warm in their wetsuits. Let’s just say it involved a bodily function and a lot of friendship. Dean and Alison also dive into Katherine MacGregor’s unique approach to her role, including how she wove elements of her real life into many of Mrs. Oleson’s unforgettable moments.And finally, things get real when Pamela asks the question we didn’t know we needed:

“What’s your damage, Pa?!”Grab your bonnet, pour some of Ma’s coffee, get out your anti-itch ointment, and join us for a laugh-filled, memory-soaked deep dive into one of the most delightfully chaotic episodes Little House ever gave us. This one’s a classic!

Then join Pamela, Dean, and Alison over on Patreon for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the growing negativity on Little House social platforms. We're taking a stand against toxic, bigoted, and harmful behavior from those who, somehow, believe there’s space for hatred in the world of Walnut Grove. It’s a powerful moment of reflection, solidarity, and setting the record straight—and one you won’t want to miss.

**Warning**: If you, like Dean, have never read the beloved novel *Little Women* or watched any of its movie adaptations, brace yourself—you may not fully grasp the emotional weight of today’s episode recap: "Little Women"! (Honestly, Dean Butler, how *dare* you!)
In this episode, we meet more characters that we end up falling in love with, only to never see them again (you know, the infamous *Vortex of Special Guests* from the multiverse?). 
But let's get down to the real issues: Why are the wigs so distractingly bad in this episode? Is Jenny indeed Mrs. Beadle’s long-lost daughter? Does Nellie’s intense, pantomimed sewing session make you...uneasy? And seriously, why does Ma scrubbing the bare floor make you *so* tired just watching it? 

Plus, Pamela and Alison share their *uncomfortable* “groomer vibes” from one of the main characters, and we take a detour to *Frontier House* on PBS to remind ourselves that a solid stockpile of chopped wood is *essential* for prairie life! 

Alison also spills the tea on the real-life inspiration for her character, Nellie Oleson, and uncovers some surprising connections to this episode, along with juicy behind-the-scenes gossip about Katherine MacGregor and Jonathan Gilbert! 

In a moment of sheer brilliance, we even compare the *Little House* characters to Muppets—and yes, we’re calling out Miss Piggy specifically! 

Lastly, Alison cracks the mystery of *why* Baby Carrie takes that tumble down the hill in the opening credits. You won’t want to miss it!

Spring is in the air—even for Alison in France! Hard to believe it’s been over a year since the Simi Valley 50th Anniversary event. It feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago… and we’re still recovering. HA! Today, we’re diving into our first Season 7 episode recap: The In-Laws—a whirlwind of absurd hilarity starring our favorite duo, Dean Butler and Michael Landon. This episode serves up Pa/Almanzo tension in the silliest way possible, blending slapstick humor with some questionable frontier authenticity (mountains on the prairie, anyone?). Michael Landon’s comedic brilliance shines, but let’s be real—this episode asks us to completely suspend our belief in historical accuracy. And these days? That kind of creative license wouldn’t fly in TV production, which makes us even more curious (and hopeful!) about the upcoming Netflix adaptation. Meanwhile, the 1800s patriarchy is alive and well, as bet-making seems to be totally fine with Ma and Laura. We also have Alison’s infamous pickle-and-ice-cream moment, plus Percival and Doc Baker’s utterly maddening reaction to her *gasp* gaining weight. Oh, the joys of period-accurate sexism… Other highlights include:

• Albert rocking some impressive peach fuzz
• Garvey’s return (and a shirtless Andy for all you Teen Beat fans!)
• The telephone playing a surprisingly important role
• And seriously—can someone take Mary out to a restaurant for once?!

And of course, no chaotic trip to Sleepy Eye would be complete without the comedic genius of Eddie Quillan, who steals the show as Cavendish, Pa’s latest nuisance. Dean and Alison also pull back the curtain on the technical side of Little House, dishing about the extensive voiceover work (aka "looping") that was a staple of the show—much to Dean’s chagrin. And finally, the real question: Did Michael Landon wax his chest? We get to the bottom of it -- Only on The Little House 50 Podcast, where we discuss the truly important Prairieverse matters!Then join Pamela, Dean and Alison on Patreon! New episodes every week!

Alison is still living the French dream, while Dean teases us with hints of another thrilling Little House event. Meanwhile, Pamela cozies up with her puppy as we dive into this week’s recap of “The Collection”—an episode featuring two of the biggest stars of the era, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.
This is, without a doubt, the juiciest episode of the podcast we've ever recorded! We reveal never-before-heard details about what was happening behind the scenes, including the real reason Melissa Gilbert wasn’t in this episode. And yes, we even get confirmation straight from Melissa herself during a live text session! You’ll also find out why Pamela has an unexpectedly deep knowledge of the Carter-Cash family and what led Johnny and June to guest star on Little House. She also discusses “the two faces of Mary”—because yeah, Melissa Sue Anderson will serve some hardcore wrath at the drop of a hat! Johnny and June deliver stellar performances in this powerful episode, but we still stand by the golden rule: Never get on a horse with a perfect stranger!

Grab your kazoos and join us as we dive into today’s episode, "The Voice of Tinker Jones" (directed by none other than Sean Penn’s father, Leo Penn!).

This Season 1 classic reveals the origins of the infamous bell (is it for Church? Or is it for School?!) that we all know and love. While you might think this is just a "fluffy family-friendly episode," it’s actually a profound parable about children setting a better example than adults and showing empathy and acceptance toward those with disabilities. Sound deep? It is!

We’ll discuss Tinker Jones himself, played by the legendary Chuck McCann, and reflect on another beloved character that we will never see again—something that seems to be a recurring theme on Little House.

Then, see what "Far Out Space Nuts" and "Here’s Boomer" have to do with this episode. Confused yet?

We’ll chat about Sean Penn’s appearance in this episode, with Alison sharing some fantastic stories about him. Plus, we’ll touch on the development of Rev. Alden’s character, Pa’s strange compliance with Mrs. Oleson, Alpha Male dominance ruining tea time, and how the child actors of Little House mirrored the storyline. Pamela also shares her perspective as a kid watching this episode.

Alison continues to kill our dreams by explaining how the bell was "made", and Dean crushes them further by reminding us that the bell wasn’t even real and wouldn’t have been heard all over town. WHY, Dean and Alison, WHY?!

Finally, what in the world is baby Carrie saying?!

Ring the Bells of Heaven, y’all, and enjoy this feel-good episode!

We are beyond excited for this long-awaited episode—one that fans have been anticipating for decades! Today, we welcome the one and only Todd Bridges, who shares incredible insights into his standout Little House on the Prairie episode, The Wisdom of Solomon.

This powerful episode has stood the test of time, gaining even more popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic—so much so that Snoop Dogg himself posted about it! (Yes, Snoop Dogg is a Bonnethead.) Todd takes us on a deep dive into his experience filming this serious and impactful story, his audition process, his understanding of the material, and his belief that a similar episode likely wouldn’t be made for TV today. 

We discuss why Little House has endured compared to modern television, and why tackling tough topics—like those explored in The Wisdom of Solomon—is crucial for sparking important conversations, understanding history, and learning how we can be better because of it. 

Todd also shares insights into his unexpected breakout role on Diff’rent Strokes, what it was like to be part of the child-actor scene in the ’70s and ’80s, and his exciting upcoming projects—including a new show in development and his podcast with his wife, Dang!. The podcast explores those jaw-dropping moments in life that make you say, “DANG!”—whether good or bad.

Then join Pamela, Dean and Alison on Patreon where we further discuss this episode, and give some sneak peeks into the NEW adaptation of Little House on Netflix!

He reflects on his time filming the episode and is still amazed by the enduring love from Bonnetheads worldwide. Though Perley Dey appeared in just one episode, it was a memorable one—his performance left a lasting impression on generations of fans.

This episode has it all: romance, drama, love triangles, and Laura Ingalls in peak awkward-era mode (the iconic "I'm a woman" declaration happens multiple times—braids and all—cringe!).

It’s a gloomy day across both New York and California, and it’s the perfect atmosphere to dive into today’s recap of The Plague. A defining episode from Season 1, this chilling installment has haunted both children and adults alike since its debut. The eerie similarities to our own experiences during the Covid pandemic and lockdown are striking...and unsettling. Major kudos to the GOAT, Doc Baker, (the late, great, Kevin Hagen) who steals the show with his performance, solidifying his apparent “Hot Doc” status among fans.Alison breaks down the real-world facts behind Typhus, the tooth fairy, and the birth of antibiotics. We also get a heartwarming behind-the-scenes moment as we explore Leslie Landon’s debut on Little House and her moving experience filming with her dad. And in a Little House first, we see the premiere of an ice bath in action! Plus, we uncover the mystery behind the wild wind in Walnut Grove, whether rats have their own handlers, and the real purpose of sulfur. And...who knew Mr. Hanson is a flour miller? Finally, Pamela highlights the unsettling emotional impact of those cheerful closing credits after such an intense episode

First up, we dive into the exciting news that Netflix has officially greenlit a new Little House on the Prairie series. But before you panic—relax! It’s not a reboot. Dean, Alison, and Pamela break down what this means, why it’s great news, and what we may expect.

Then...We revisit a Season 1 classic: Mr. Edwards’ Homecoming! These are the early days on the Prairie, and this episode is a standout in establishing the heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) relationships between our beloved characters. This marks the first appearance of Mr. Edwards, and Victor French delivers a masterclass in acting—showcasing every layer of this complex, rugged-yet-tender character.Ever wonder how quickly Little House went from a pilot to a full series? Spoiler: it happened in record time! Plus, we break down Chesty Charles’ peak “Pa” energy in his interactions with Mr. Edwards—proving that strength and vulnerability can go hand in hand.And, of course, we tackle the big questions:

• Why is Bonnie Bartlett’s Widow Grace giving major “town Karen” vibes?
• Is this the very first instance of bedroom popcorn in the series?
• And how does The Sure Thing with John Cusack complete Dean’s full-circle Prairie moment?

It’s the day before Valentine’s Day, so we’re celebrating love—Prairie style! Sure, today’s recap episode might have divorce in the title, but make no mistake—it’s all about love. Join us as we break down Laura’s hilariously jealous power moves, Almanzo hitting peak #imaginaryboyfriend status (in the bath, no less), Laura going full Jerry Springer with the prissy Brenda Sue, and Almanzo butchering a love song on the guitar. Let’s be honest—these two desperately needed couples therapy. Meanwhile, the running gag of Pa’s broken window keeps the laughs rolling.

Get the inside scoop from Alison and Dean on what it was really like filming this episode, plus, find out the surprising way David Rose composed his iconic music, how it was recorded, and why Dean dubbed him a “lady’s man.”

Finally, we get to your fantastic questions.We hope you enjoy this fun-filled hour!

BUZZFEED ARTICLE FEATURING DEAN, ALISON AND THE PODCAST: https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewfirriolo/alison-arngrim-dean-butler-interview

Our Social Media Team: Joy Correra and Christine Nunez   https://www.paclanticcreative.com/

We’ve entered the month of December, which means that holiday celebrations are
under way and Little House’s 50 th Anniversary year will soon enter the history books – or
will it? The show premiered in September of 1974, so the Anniversary year rolls on.
More on that to come in later shows.

One of the things we’ll remember about this December 5 episode of the podcast is that
Alison and Dean did it without the support of our very special host, Pamela Bob, who
Zooms in each week from Brooklyn, NY. We missed her and we can tell you today that
Pamela is fine, but we can also say that the reason she wasn’t with us on Thanksgiving
gives us the opportunity to say thanks for her swift return. We’ll leave Pamela to share
the details of her Thanksgiving absence as she chooses.
In the meantime, we are deeply thankful for our Bonnethead family, who allow us to
connect and continue the Little House Love that began with the premiere of Little House
so many years ago.

Today we’re very excited to welcome the children of a man who was there right from
the start of the Little House adventure early in 1974. We are speaking of Victor French,
Little House’s beloved Mr. Edwards. Two of Victor’s three children, Tracy Hall and her
older brother, Victor Allen French (not a Junior, BTW) were in town to take part in
2024’s final Little House on the Prairie tours of Big Sky Movie Ranch on December 1. The
day before the tours Alison and Dean welcomed Tracy and Victor into the studios of
UBNGo in Burbank. It was a wonderful conversation about their unforgettably talented
dad that focused on his portrayal of Isiah Edwards, the transforming power of the role,
his passion for the craft of acting, and his children’s remembrances of Victor as a very
special dad.

We also heard about Victor and Tracy’s commitment to their dad’s creative legacy; they
have a new online store (see below) and are working on the publication of his theories
of acting titled, A Matter of Choice. If you worked with Victor or loved his work on stage
and screen, we think A Matter of Choice is a “must-read.”

For our Patrons we will continue with Tracy and Victor focusing on their gleeful playtime
with their dad that made every day in the French house a kind of laughing, screaming
Halloween adventure. Those of us who worked with Victor can totally relate to his extraordinary ability to make us laugh, cry, or scream as the circumstances evolved
during so many wonderful scenes.

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE HOLIDAYS (Written by Pamela):
Little House on the Prairie is at the heart of what so many are most grateful for, not just
because of the timeless stories it told, but because of the lasting impact it has had on all
of us. The show brought families together, fostering a sense of community and shared
values that transcend generations. It taught us about resilience, love, and the
importance of finding gratitude even in the most challenging times. For many of
us, Little House was more than just entertainment—it was a source of comfort,
inspiration, and connection to a simpler, yet deeply meaningful way of life. It has shaped
how we view family, community, and the world around us, and continues to remind us
to appreciate the little things in life. Today, as we gather with loved ones, let us
remember these values as a country, a community, as human beings.

Thanks. We’ll see you again soon. Little House Forever!

Happy Thanksgiving! The gang couldn’t be more excited to share this special day with you. Today, and every day, we are deeply thankful for supporters like you, our Bonnethead family, who allow us to connect and continue the bond that started with Michael Landon in 1974.

We’re thrilled to welcome Kathi Von Etten, head of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce, who joins us to reflect on her "year of the Prairie" and share exciting news about the final Little House Bus Tour (say it ain’t so!) happening Sunday, December 1, with Dean and Alison as your guides. And for the collectors out there, don’t miss out on the exclusive Simi Valley Festival Little House 50th Anniversary merchandise—it's selling fast! Head over to the Simi Valley website (link also in the show notes) to grab your special edition items before they’re gone.

We felt it was fitting to have today’s guest on Thanksgiving, as we are deeply inspired by her gratitude and grace—Baby Rose Wilder herself, Jennifer Donati. Jennifer shares with us how, at just seven weeks old, she and her twin sister were cast as Baby Rose in Little House on the Prairie. Though she has no memories of that experience, Jennifer was reunited with her Little House family a couple of years ago, and as she says, "life has never been the same." This adult reunion sparked her to finally write the book she had always dreamed of: More Than Just the Prairie. In it, Jennifer opens up about the personal hardships she has faced, including the loss of her twin sister, Sarah, and her beloved mother. Her story is one of resilience, strength, and gratitude, offering a powerful example of overcoming tragedy with grace. Oh, and by the way—she is also a badass!

Continue the conversation with us on Patreon, where gratitude is at the heart of the discussion. This Thanksgiving, Pamela, Dean, Alison, and Jennifer share what they're thankful for, including Alison's story of meeting her newly discovered relatives in Ireland. They also explore how gratitude is the highest vibrational force. With so much to be thankful for, Little House on the Prairie is at the core of many of these blessings. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone—we hope you enjoy this heartfelt segment.

A SPECIAL NOTE ON THIS THANKSGIVING: Little House on the Prairie is at the heart of what so many are most grateful for, not just because of the timeless stories it told, but because of the lasting impact it has had on all of us.
