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!
