Perfectly said. She could be a witch and be sympathetic. Sometimes you'd want to kick her in the rear end and other times you'd feel sorry for her. And there were times when she cracked me up! That's what made her so good. ☺

Yes she was amazing

Sottotitoli no?

landon did NOT respect his peers. paid all other talent on the show next to nothing. he was a ¥&&:"";&. $^$'j.

I agree, but she's an 'actress'.

To prawda, perfekcyjnie dobrana obsada.

Yes! I agree!!! The best actors for every single character!!! The Script was well written!!!

This was the Best Show on Earth! 🌎 Actors were perfect! Script was perfect! Music was perfect! Set was perfect! Wardrobe was perfect! Everything was perfect! I wish someone could create a show like this again, but I doubt it! Michael Landon was taken too soon. I guess God needed him in heaven. He was like a second Dad to me!!! ❤❤❤

Yes, and Michael Landden chose all of them.

Honestly I always wondered why Mrs. Oleson was more of a grandma age

The original Karen.

​@@l3v350 Yaaaaaasssss

They missed a gem, she should’ve won at least one!

The kids all loved her off set. They all like working with her.

@@beckyforcier3515 her adult co stars loved her too, always saying kind things about her.

@BL-no7jp I think for me her Nellie and Laura were my favorite characters of course I love Michael Landon and Victor French

That woman, Mrs. Harriet Oleson has me in STITCHES every time she makes an appearance on LHOTP. 😂😆🤣 I even dream of having a next🚪door neighbor like her to only be entertained by listening to her big mouth.

@@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748 😂😂😂😂😂❤️

It is a travesty!

Emmys are evil

She was wonderful.

ikr

@@nashvilletennessee3194 Please don't disrespect this woman.

The way Cora Beth added so much to the Waltons. Mrs Oleson WAS a little nastier though.

margaret My dad loves The Walton's but my heart belongs to LHOTP! 💖

Both awesome in their own way. Both to always be treasured for they are true gems!!! They will always have relevance and will never go away. Can watch them over and over through the years. Classic characters, acting and writing. Cora Beth and Harriet added a lot to those shows for certain.

I agree. Similar situation with Agnes Moorehead as the mother of Samantha on 'Bewitched'. They both played their roles to the hilt.!!

People disliked her as a real person because she was so good in character, its like umbridge in harry potter.

It's funny, but another popular series, The Waltons, had a nice/nasty pair running the store, Ike and Cora Beth Godsey.

It was rare though.

I Loved seeing her soft side also. Her character was so entertaining! 😄

It sure didn't last long lol

One of the best was when she talked to Nancy at The Orphanage about Nellie and what a "Mean Girl" she was. One of the best behind the scenes stories was when Mrs. Oleson found out that Nellie Cheated on The School's Final Tests and she actually whipped Alison Arngrim (Nellie) and that's why Alison ran into The House. She didn't know it was going to be real. Harriett could give Angela Channing a run for her Money. Remember when she was so nasty in The Pilot Episode and I realized she owned 51% and Nels owned 49%. It was financed by her Papa because Nels got her in the Family Way. She was smart, she never allowed anyone to buy and have a large amount of Credit, the Books were balanced to a T. She could have given Ike Godsey & Corabeth from The Waltons a run for their Money on how to manage a Store. Ike was so much nicer.

I loved it how she usually showed it around Nels 🥰

+CeltycSparrow You bet! :)

very true

+CeltycSparrow Katherine MacGregor is one of the best actresses that I've ever seen---and that's including all of the top actresses of today (Streep, Blanchett, et. al.).

Love Animals she is better than all of them...the others are way overrated

john waters; says the man that ranted on KZfaq.. 😐

+Kara LO She should have won many of them !

Kara LO Definitely!

It's hard to believe that she didn't. She was tragically over looked. She made being bad look so good.

I think the same thing I don't have cable n trying to find away to watch little house

REBECCA Green They have the seasons on DVD and Blu Ray if you have a player.

Hello LeAnn, how are you doing

And yet my 12 year old daughter comes home from school getting taught that Little House was racist.....come on

I bought the entire series box set for my mother for her birthday.

@@mikejessmax wow how woke of them. I hope you are setting your daughter straight. Parents will have to go a long way to trying to enoculate their children from the woke infection.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but how was it racist? Ketty Lester and Moses Gunn were regulars and great actors. There was also a black physician Dr. Baker hired....Michael Landon used several episodes to illustrate the ignorance of racism. I still watch them occasionally.

Totally agree!

Agree

Wish there was. It was a wholesome family show

The Walton's was superb also...loved watching both...

Via the little house we were taught love and humanism,now we teaching the opposite and who know what the future holds😮😮😮

I didn't like her character at all. Mean, petty, gossipy, snarky, just overall irritating.

@@reya346 You would prefer a more amiable villain?

She's sort of like John Cleese's character on Fawlty Towers. His attitude was basically, "It would be so much easier to run this hotel without the people."

In effetti era la più vera insieme a Nellie e Nancy

@@TheKitchenerLeslie un cattivo più sfigato

I agree

Agreed!!

It’s a shame she never got one

@@notthemeemaw8464 so tru!

P

Yes! ❤

She made me HATE her!

Ditto Kosha...me too.

I'm 38 now. When I was a small kid, I used to watch the show with my great grandmother. Today I still watch the reruns on TV. The show is so wholesome & pure.

Me too, every day. Along with Perry Mason. Good entertainment, no ignorance, half dressed idiots or an agenda. What entertainment should be.

One of the best tv shows of all time, we watch every night at dinner with, my wife never seen the show so when i put it on she enjoyed it also my kids got into it as well, this show had great lessons in life and alot of laughing, also cry at some point, nothing comes close.

Me too!

True. The best episodes were always the one she was involved in.

Ja,😜😜😂😂😂

Ja,ich vermisse alle😭😭😭

I was crushed to find out she was not a Christian. John 14:6

@@margiecarol2944 not everyone believes in the same God as you do.

@@Lavender_Cordle There is only one God, the God of the Bible. Anyone who doesn't believe in the God of the Bible and His Son, Jesus, is going to Hell. And, His Son, Jesus, said in John 14:6. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life, and no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." That means without Him you go to Hell. Get it? Got it? Good.

@@margiecarol2944 LOL! I have a question for you then, if God is such a forgiving God then why is there a hell? Also, your book of myths states that women are second class citizens when it comes to men, that ain't cool. There are other religions in the world and in the great US of A, you have the right to practice any religion you so choose. Scottie was a Hindu, and Hinduism is of the most peaceful religions in the world. Take your BS rhetoric somewhere else thumper.

Rebel Ruth, especially with episodes that have Harriet @ VERY BEST and her very funniest. 😆😂

@@cobaltmidnightoilamp6748 My fav with her in "Here come the brides"! Hilarious! 😂😂😂

Yeah! This is my go to for crummy days! ❤ Never needed Prozac.

@@iloveschicken6527 Loved the 'Clodhopper' comment when Nellie eloped. And when Harriet went to buy Nellie a horse and it bolted with her on it. Shame children today don't get to grow up with such innocent programmes.

@@rebelruth9582 Agreed! 😊

+Thelma B me too and I'm 52. I wished I lived in Walnut Grove :)

I am 45 and still watch the program, so beautiful, when I was a little one I was wish to be the teacher.

T. Im 48 and now watch it with my own children.

I know. I'm 45-years-old and I watched this show as a child (honestly, it's hard to believe it was that long ago though...it doesn't seem like it). I'm under the conclusion that I'll probably continue to follow this show throughout my lifetime (if it continues to be made available for viewing that is; It probably will be).

Iam 55 and now live in europe there airing little house everyday Iam still watchinhg this✔☺☺

💔💔❣

I delivered something to the Woodland hills retirement home im the 1990s .Worked for Kinkos

Always sad when you lose someone you like,yes she was a terrific actress she played the Part brilliantly sadly missed 😢

Ich liebte beide😭😫

Wonder if Richard and Katherine cross paths at the motion picture home and this like a assisted living home for actors and actresses who run hard times

Katherine macgregor (mrs olsen) would of been 99 this year and Richard bull (mr olsen) would of been 100 this year.

Tsuruta1 I didn’t know!

Donna Castel I don't know either . I'm very sad about it. I often thought as a middle school kid and for the entire run of the show when I talked about the show with my peers, that it was kind of unfair that everybody else seemed to overlook his performances .

RIP dear "Mr. Olsen".

Rest in Peace Ms Katherine MacGregor, she passed away Tuesday afternoon.

The1baddman :-( it didn't make the news I watched yesterday it should have RIP

+Larry Mentle True, she IS a genius actor!

larry,how true..she always came off bitchy but funny and actually kind at heart

+Larry Mentle i could not stand her but she play that mean part n nelly i hated them lol

Wow she never aged !!

thañkyou for putting on telly again

me too . i remember when i was a kid i was checking in the generic if Mrs Oleson was going to appear

Hello Kimberly, how are you doing?

Perfectly put!😭

That's whats wrong with this world today there is no Michael Landon !!!!

Makes me wanna cry when i see the intro of Highway to Heaven with also victor french also cos they both were my heroes when i was small, always did the right thing and tried to tell us to be good, so sad when michael landon is walking down the street and his best friend picks him up, like saying buddy, if we go, we go together, but i didnt know that they died until years later, RIP Michael and Victor.

😢😭😭😨😰😥😓😪

@@notthesameman You didn't know they died until years later??? It was all over the news. Michael Landon was on Johnny Carson. It took him so quickly, Pancreatic cancer.

C;hristi how are you to doing lam fine would like you to call me sorry lam fine jodi could sorry call me sorry going lam fine jodi could sorry call me love have pancake good miss today at you to people can come see you doing lam fine would like you to call me sorry going lam fine jodi could sorry call me sorry going lam fine jodi could sorry call me sorry going lam fine jodi could sorry call me sorry going lam fine jodi could

Tiffanie Thomas you know who died the NEXT day? (Ralph Waite), "Pa Walton)..

Tiffanie Thomas rest in peace to Nells

Loved Them As A Couple. Amazing Actors!!!

Your daughter loves you soooo much. 😀😀

Savana Fawntane I am 73 and I’m streaming it every night. I’ll look for the dvd sets because I would love to have it too.

LOl I'm 48 I grow up watching this in South America, I love it it brings back so many memories from my childhood, my family , your daughter is the best!

A LOT better than the trash they feed us now! We need MORE Little House with everything going on today! Good, wholesome family entertainment!

Savana Fawntane hello how are you and yours are doing,I pray that everyone is staying safe 🙏🏾I want to ask you if you remember where did your daughter buy the DVD set for the whole series from,I surely would love to know, thank you and have a wonderful and blessed day 😊🙏🏾❤️

Harold's Girl I really like him as well.

Thanks for sharing that sweet story ! It's always a joy to find out when our favorite performers are nice folk off screen !

Was he a lot like Mr. Oleson?

I wish i met him

😂😂😂

Yes ❤

I agree! True legend. Harriet was definitely a woman you loved to hate.

She was like a self centered little kid. Nellie fell not far from the tree.

You're an idiot.

Why dumb? A no brainer that this woman was just like Nellie when she was younger. I hold degrees BTW dumbass. Lol! At least I have a classy, intelligent name. Not a coward that uses Insert??? And I can think of plenty a name to use.. Lol! Princess Margaret

Just like Mrs Oleson. What a loser you are. Callin people bitches.

Oh yes this scene is so powerful. It was hard to hold back the tears

Ja,wirklich,ich wahr immer dabei😂😂😂😂

indeed , true values , love , community , family ...

I am 44 & since we need to be indoors during these times I have had a chance to listen & watch many episodes. No wonder this show was on so long, it is so well done. Katherine MacGregor has made me laugh so much these days of COVID-19 when we all could use a laugh, she was awesome.

@@nelsonrodriguez6639 i love her... Harriet and Nels. I can still hear her screaming "Neeeeeels!" That show could never be duplicated! It was a wonderful show for kids. I'm 44 too by the way! I'm glad that they run the reruns. I think on the Hallmark channel! I love it. I was born in June of 75; 9 months after the show aired for the first time. I wish TV shows were still this awesome! Did you see the one when Laura ran awag because her baby brother passed away and she blamed herself. The Halloween ones were great. Nelly was a piece of work lol; Nels and Harriets daughter. She was so mean. Did you watch the Pilot? The very 1st one? It was a 2 hr special. The series aired weekly on a regular basis after the pilot. Thanks for replying!

@lilly lazer Yes mam! It certainly was. I watched faithfully every evening at 5 PM on channel 11. I watched the reruns. I was born in 75 so the show was new! It was on the air for 9 months when I was born. When it ended for good in '82i was just about to turn 7. It ended in May of '82 and I turned 7 a month later in June! I love the stories. The family was so awesome. I would wish I had their family. I loved the little house they lived in. The girls slept upstairs in their cozy little bed. The show is 1 of the best family shows ever. A full hour too. I wonder myself if there are any talented writers out there in Hollywood who could capture us the way Little House did. I miss that era in television. Thanks.

@lilly lazer yes, I've watched COZI TV. I love it. I'm glad we have it to watch because todays TV sux!

@lilly lazer twerking at 9?? That is really destructive. I'm not sure what twerking is but I think it's a move that these youngsters do and mistake as dancing! Lol. It is the parents. The parents are really immature these days. Your husband must have been really disgusted. It's only going to get worse. We're in for a rude awakening in 20 yrs.

It was for the most part but that episode about Albert's girlfriend being molested by the guy in the mask terrified and disturbed me.

Me to, same age, the show is on in Sweden, love it 😍

@@SuperNicko92 😊👍🏾

I’m 73 and my 7 year old granddaughter and I are watching it. We both love it.

@@patriciasmith7074 😁👍🏾👍🏾❤️💕

Same age me next month 49.Just used to watch little house"and Still watching.

Michael Landon struck gold when he cast katherine macgregor as Mrs oleson.

indeed . i remember when i was a kid i was always checking in the generic if Mrs Oleson was going to appear

Loves this Lady

Yup, Richard Bull as Nels was excellent!!!!

Hello how are you doing?

Hello Joyce, how are you doing?

That would've been genius!

I know right? I know Harriet and Nels kind of mentioned how they met but I think it would have been an interesting episode. If we get to see Caroline and Charles meet, why not Harriet and Nels?

I would have liked that as well.

That would have been great!!!

She n Nels should've had their own show.

David Haber, they were the let's say THE FUNNIEST power 🤣🔋 couple 👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻 of Walnut Grove, MN.

Hello Angela, how are you doing?

Scott H she was my favorite

Hi 👋 how're you doing?

Gina Kaye agree

Oleson

Gina Kaye. Oh, my favorite was Almonzo! I always fancied him and I remember as a kid, hoping Laura would end up with him!

This made me so sad

how she past away rip

@@MsDisneylandlover Passed, past is the opposite of future.

She croaked off?

Ah....is she passed away already?? Thats so sad.

Hi how're you doing?

She was not a witch. Stop being mean for no reason.

Yeah she wasnt a witch she certainly had a good heart, she was just snooty.

Hello Beth, how are you doing?

I agree! And Richard (the man who played her husband) played off her perfectly 🥰

Yes Dean Harmon in the épisode where rev alden fells in love ..so sad for Harriet and she is touching in this épisode.. actually she never forgot Dean Harmon and had resentment for him thats why she blames rev Alden..a moving épisode..

💯

Loved Mrs Olson. R.i.p Mrs Olson.

A big brawl would take place!😎

IIRC Katherine actually had a guest spot as a hospital nurse in the All In the Family episode about Edith's breast cancer scare.

I'll throw in another brilliant performer in the mix who I think would do well playing opposite the performers you mentioned. My suggestion is Larry Linville. He, too, was terrific at playing the antagonist. Can you imagine him playing off either of Carroll O'Connor, Katherine MacGregor, or Bea Arthur? Wow.

@@docadams7099 yes!!! LMAO! That man is like the picky boss or neighbor type. He would also make a good Scrooge! Very good choice!

I always thought she had incredibly gorgeous hair!!😊

She was what was considered a handsome woman. I always thought she was pretty.

Laughter is the best medicine. 😊

Hello Linda How are you doing?

Absolutely.

phantom collector yes she did

Who is scotty McGregor

Loved the show and its reruns for years, brilliant!!! The character where all well choosen for their parts Harriet manly for Mrs Olsen she nailed her Character brilliantly, that was the reason I watched the show her and her spolt daughter and the lngels family always came on top every time, great teachings as money isn't everything!
