LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. ALL the interviews with LHOTP cast members, I LOVE them all. I have most of the books that cast members have written with the exception of one. I preordered Deans book from Amazon. It's supposed to come on Tuesday. I can't wait to read it.

Great interview with Dean Butler! I don't know if you ever plan to have him back on for follow up questions but, if you ever do, could you ask him one thing on my behalf,please? Mr. Butler not only befriended Katherine MacGregor but I'm glad to hear that STAYED friends with her long after the show was over - even though he had to see her in that heartbreaking diminished capacity near the end of her life. However, some years before , Miss MacGregor had mentioned that she was writing her own autobio so I'm wondering if Mr. Butler has ANY inkling what might have become of it. I know that she had been an only child long since divorced from her two exes and had no children so I'm not even sure if she had any heirs to speak of. Thanks in advance (and thank you for sharing that interview with Mr. Butler).

😂😂It really doesn’t matter since both episodes deal with different parts of Dean’s story. Glad you saw both!

Dean is always fascinating. His debut on "Little House" was shaky, but he eventually adapted to the role and made it memorable.

Dean was a natural as Almanzo and his life is pretty interesting. Loved his book😀
