So I'm flipping channels tonight, trying to find something to entertain me on this long weekend. And I come across this craptastic offering ~ Little House : The Last Farewell. Now I missed the first half, but from what I summarize the railroad or some other evil 19th century businessman comes along and buys up Walnut Grove somehow. So the fine people of the town blow the whole fucking thing up. That's right. The Ingalls et all use dynamite from the mine and blow up Walnut Grove. There goes all of my childhood memories in a single bang.
I suppose that this is intended to show how the frontier folks of the town are plucky and all, but they still BLEW UP THE TOWN. So so wrong.
I know I watched this show when I was very young and somehow missed this gem. Some of it's other offerings include a mullet-child of Laura and Almonzo. I missed it in my youth, but I'm not sure now how that femme cry baby "Manly" was able to father a child. Shannon Doherty is doing something there. Someone's sister or something. I didn't remember her either. And Laura and family also had this fruity Lost in Space type Dr. Smith living with them.
I am very very glad that I did not see this when I was young. It would have ruined Little House for me forever.
One other note, Willie Olson is much better looking than I remember. Willie, where are you today?
