Detail

Carrie, Mary, and Laura Ingalls frolic down a hill, as shown in the opening credits of the series.

Although it differed from the original books, and many new characters and situations were added, this television series was one of the few long-running successful dramatic family shows (and it is still in syndication). Although predominantly a drama, the program did have some comedic moments, thanks to supporting cast members such as Mr. Edwards (played by Victor French) and the Oleson family: Nels Oleson (Richard Bull), Harriet Oleson (Katherine MacGregor), Willie Oleson (Jonathan Gilbert), and Nellie Oleson (Alison Arngrim).

As with most TV series set in a distant time or place, the series includes occasional historical inaccuracies. Little House on the Prairie was largely filmed on Big Sky Ranch at Simi Valley, California. Camera vistas sometimes pick up the rugged terrain, far too mountainous for Minnesota, and the Californian chaparral vegetation. In one particular episode Laura runs away and climbs up a mountain. However, there are no mountains on the prairie. Nevertheless, in most scenes the oak savanna is considered to be representative of the real Walnut Grove. Dr. Baker's telephone seems far ahead of its time, since the telephone was newly invented and existed only in large cities in the 1880s. Also during the series run, several married women are seen regularly teaching. During the 1800s, married women were not allowed to teach. Several episodes also mentioned peanut butter sandwiches, which were not introduced until the early 1900s. Another episode shows an elderly presumably Colonel Harland Sanders attempting to sell his franchise to Mrs. Oleson. Sanders was born in 1890 and would have been an infant or child at the time the series takes place. There was also an episode where Mr. Oleson claimed to have played college football, but he was far too old to have played in even the earliest college football games (which took place in 1869).

The most successful western-dramatic series ended in 1983, due to low ratings (after Landon's decision of leaving the show), but this show set the tone for one other series that is similar to Little House: Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman. In addition, the show is immensely-popular in reruns in syndication, Hallmark Channel and on TV Land, and because of its historical context, is deemed acceptable for use by the FCC to meet federal E/I programming guidelines. Two stations which use the program to meet E/I include Orange County, California's KDOC, and Green Bay, Wisconsin's WLUK. For the Jimi Hendrix song, see 1983. ...

Continuity Issues

Longtime viewers of the series (which currently repeats about every 3 months on The Hallmark Channel in the US) and owners of the DVDs may notice the following continuity issues throughout LHOTP's run: The Hallmark Channel is a cable television network that broadcasts in over 100 countries. ...

• Several actors who portrayed prominent roles played more than one character during the run of the show. Kyle Richards played Alicia Sanderson-Edwards in seasons 2&3, but also played the daughter of Brett Harper in "Someone Please Love Me" in Season 5. She also reprised the role of Alicia in "The Return of Mr. Edwards" in Season 6, and "A Promise to Keep" in Season 8. Hersha Parady played Charles's sister-in-law in "Journey in the Spring" in Season 3 before assuming the role of Alice Garvey in seasons 4-6. Matthew Laborteaux also appeared in "Journey in the Spring" during a flashback sequence as a young Charles Ingalls. He would play young Charles again in "I Remember, I Remember" before assuming the role of Albert Ingalls in seasons 5-8. Perhaps the most reused actors in the whole series were E.J. Andre and Eddie Quillan, who played at least 4 roles during the show's run. Andre's most promient role came as Uncle Jed for two episodes of Season 8.
• There were a few characters who appeared for one episode as if they had been involved in the Ingalls' lives for quite sometime, or as if they had always been prominent citizens of Walnut Grove, but disappeared after their episode with no explanation. Most of these characters showed up with no backstory or evidence of their existence prior to their appearance on the show. Some of these characters include Widow Andrews (from "For My Lady" in season 2), Ruthy (from "The Last Summer" in Season 9), Marvin of Marvin's Garden (season 9), and numerous children at the school.

• The eventual demise of Albert Ingalls is called in to question by two episodes. In the epilogue of "Home Again" (season 9), as Albert's stage coach pulls away in the final scene the viewer hears Laura in a voice over stating Albert returns in his adult years as Dr. Albert Ingalls. However, in the Season 10 film "A Look Back to Yesterday", the viewer is lead to believe Albert dies from a blood disorder around the age of 18. However, some viewers feel that since Albert's death is never actually shown, his return to Walnut Grove is entirely possible. However, this also could be called into question as the town of Walnut Grove was blown up in the final TV movie "Little House: The Last Farewell".

• Two versions of Caroline Ingalls' maiden name are used in the series. In "Journey in the Spring" (season 3) and "I Remember, I Remember" (season 4), her maiden name is referred to as being "Holbrook", the name of her stepfather. It isn't until season 6 in "Whatever Happened to the Class of '56?" that we hear Caroline's actual maiden name, Quiner.

• The marital status of Rev. Alden remains somewhat ambiguous. In the episode "A Preacher Takes a Wife" (season 6), Rev. Alden marries a member of his congregation. However, she's never mentioned again. Alden does bring up his marital status in "A Promise to Keep" in season 8, when he reveals to Mr. Edwards that his alcoholism cost him his first wife.

• Lars Hanson's estate is called into question in two different episodes. In the season five episode Blind Journey, the late Lars Hanson's house is left to Reverend Alden and the church, who decide to let the house be used as the new blind school. The house is later destroyed by a fire in the season six episode May We Make Them Proud. In the season nine episode Welcome To Olesonville, the house is still standing and bought by Harriet Oleson, who tries to control the town by using a bond issued to Lars Hanson that she found while cleaning the house.

• Almanzo's brother Royal makes two conflicting appearances in the series. In the season seven episode The Nephews, Royal appears with his wife (Millie) and two young sons, Myron and Rupert. His wife announces she is pregnant in this episode. Two years later in the season nine episode Times Are Changing, Royal reappears with a 10-year old daughter Jenny (who was not mentioned in the season seven episode, leading many viewers to believe that Millie was pregnant with Jenny during Royal's first appearance). Almonzo states that he has not seen Royal in a decade (although he appeared two years earlier). Royal mentions his wife had died and there is no mention of his two sons.

Kyle Richards (born January 11, 1969) in Hollywood, California is an American actress. ... Hersha Parady is an American actress, born on 25 May 1945 and rasied in Ohio, USA. She is famous for her portrayal of Alice Garvey in the television series Little House on the Prairie. ... Matthew Laborteaux (b. ...
