I want to see the full episode where can I see it

He was fighting it because she was a teenager, and Almanzo was a grown man. How is a man in his twenties naive?? Laura was the young one, not him.

@@Michelle-pn9xt times and people were much different then. It was not uncommon for girls to marry in their teens, especially in farming communities. The way Almanzo was written , he was sweet gentle respectful but shy. He followed the customs of the time whivh was to.ask.permission before courting. You need to.look at the series in the context of the times it was set in

@@Michelle-pn9xt fathers don't like it even if the boy is the same age. Believe me...I have 3 daughters.

One of my childhood heros 💜

Just to let you know nobody is precfect

And also got a hookup with the makeup’s lady.

@@Gabi-wm7yk Hell yeah

Yes, he was! 🎉🎉🎉 I watched him as Little Joe on Bonanza, too. Fun Fact: Michael's real name is Eugene Horowitz, he's Jewish. He picked his name, Michael Landon outta a phone book, for acting reasons. 👍

Yes!

Laura from little house on the prairie passed away she was found Dead

Pa’s face is sad while Almanzo’s is so happy then she says she has to think about it and the instant reversal. Loved it.

Me too!

Rest in peace Laura you are up there in heaven 🙏🕊️

@@tommywiley what about Mr Edwards?

Yes especially since it was ma’s idea 😂😂

Where can I see the full episode

1 of my favs too. The episode where she gets to dress grownup and almanzo and her kiss for the 1st time 😊😘

Carmine carmina I think Laura was a little spoiled in this episode trying to get Almonzo to notice her new dress and hairstyle yes she was excited about growing up but she didn’t have to ask Almonzo about it

lol :) right

Very true.

Meme God Right😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Indeed

He was a such a guy

I know someone who does the same facial expressions. It is amazing haha

Agree, and that little laugh he would sometimes do

Yes, that and his manliness! God, he was sooo handsome....his gorgeous hair, 💇 his beautiful smile, 😊 and when he defended his family and he'd punch those guys out!!🥊💪👊 There's something about Charles Ingalls.....very sexy! ❤❤❤

ikr

Pa’s face when Laura said she had to think about it.🤣

@clarkxxkent1 courting and marriage at 13-14 was common, coming from a time the average lifespan was 40-50 years.

@@zacharymitchell2115 Dont know i asked my father in law to Marry his daughter out of respect..

@@yellowsunflower223 111

Ok

Coincido totalmente con vos, es hermoso por donde se lo vea !

Great acting! I read that in real life Laura and Manley hated each other.

Hermoso pero con mal carácter. He is handsome but aggresive too!

​@Nicole Jones no they didn't. Melissa Gilbert just said she thought dean butler was too old for the character & she was uncomfortable in the intimate scenes.

RebeccaRivera22 same! I could watch it over and over, and it enlightens me, breaks my heart, and makes me laugh, the same way it did the first time I ever saw it

May I ask where to purchase the dvd colllecion? My family and I would love that. Thank you.

Ma. Jhenenia Finlayson Go on internet. Maybe Amazon 😊

RebeccaRivera22 I’ve loved this show when I was a little girl, and I raised my children watching it b/c it shows good morals and values, and my kids now let their children watch it as well! We don’t have many shows that teach children morals and values anymore, b/c of Hollywood, but the Insp Channel has some of the the good shows on there. ☺️

@@vibekes2416 eBay has everything too like Amazon.

Yes it was! And the casting was spot on! Michael Landon, and the others, did a terrific job with the casting of all of the characters. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

Rumors would have ruined Laura socially she’s either have to move or live her life as a outsider in that town..it’s sad how double standards have shaped the worlds societies

@@averagesinnerrepenting8917 I'm confused by "rumors".

@@dinamule3073 had they closed the door in those times, there would’ve been a LOT of speculation about what it was they were doing and that would’ve brought on the rumors. I think some of the things they abided by back then were odd, but a majority of women were highly respected and were careful to never do anything disrespectful. Unfortunately, than as now, men aren’t held to the same standards.

😂😂

@@jennywaldrop9864 It was dishonorable for men too and the father of the girl was more likely to go beat the guy up for it than now

Any good father would. It’s rare that it would be honest intentions. You never truly know

Charles was being a hypocrite though bc him & Caroline got married very young. Ma was more supportive of them than Pa was. Laura was his fav, that's why. His lil girl was growing up.....he was jealous! 😂😂😂

Almanzo was a nerd

Deena Nelson Half pint got game 😉😉

I love Pa's face after she says that, so funny

Theresa Mayo Tinaglia I was going to say that. I love it

Right?! 😍

Was thinking the same. She s really helping him realise that it is okay to feel this way. Love this scene.

Elaine anderson they were my favorite romantic relationship but no one could beat Laura and Charles relationship. 💜

True! Almanzo and Charles and laura are my favorite characters in the show....It's so sweet to watch them.

Karlee Craziness yes I agree. She was looking too juvenile for too long. No wonder almanzo was hesitant to like her

I wonder if almanzo was starting to figure out that Laura had a "thing" for him before this episode ? She looked adorable in her grown up dress and heels. I do wonder why she isnt wearing the bun in her hair at the social dance? If she is considered grown and women wore their hair up at adulthood why is her hair in half a ponytail??

@@dinamule1119 That is not reason he was hesitant to like her. Her was a grown man, and she was a teenager. He was about 10 years older.

@@dinamule1119 She was a teenager, She was not a grown woman, but he was an adult.That is the reason Almanzo was talking to her parents about their age difference.

😂

Yes and no. Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingalls) was only 15 years old in this scene. She had her first kiss on a film set with am man which is 23. Later Melissa asked Michael Landon (Charles Ingalls, producter,...) to change the story a little bit so in the episodes after the wedding they mostly just kissed on the cheek or hugged each other.

Marisa Buchser Aw how cute! ❤️ I saw her and some of the cast including Dean Butler (Almanzo) discussing that “famous kiss” in an interview. Melissa said that it was also her first kiss ever! Her mom was on the set crying when that was filmed. Actually the word used was “wailing.” They we’re getting closer and closer to kiss and her mom was just loosing it while watching. I guess you can’t blame her.

I doubt it

​@@sanne2299I was about to say 😂 I doubt there's any generation where men had respect

I think they nore likely had a healthy amount of fear, fear of fathers, brothers, friends, other family

I think men were men, no matter the year. There were some that were brought up respectful and others who were not. Women dated less back then, esp casually, and were more particular with ‘courting’ as they called it and fathers generally were more protective of their daughters. Girls got married young because there was less opportunity for single women.

In those days women were worthy of respect because they respected men.

That was cute😂😂

​@@huntingfashiondolls3307So is Charles & Almanzo. They have that certain "cuteness" about them, while also having that ruggedness edge to them. Soo handsome! 💙💙💙

Amazing though and though. Every episode had such and hold so much in one's minds lost for words.. watching each show had something that today it's 23/9/2017. No one has ever or will try what makes little house on the perri had . A lot TV show have had more then enough time and yet they have seen the wonderful work that shows on each show. I take my hat of to you all for playing there rolls with 100% in each actor thank you .MR MICHAEL LANDON. IN My Hart for ever and ever love Donna Bush.. Australia.

The art of telling a story through a show like this is past but I was so glad to have lived in a era where these and others were not considered too old fashion or cheesy like in today's crowd that would think so... Thanks for all those memories from watching classic TV reruns.

Me too and I read the books

I always thought this was disrespectful to their first grandson who had already died in the blind school fire.

@@thatguy2372 they were probably going on historical context, in that fact that the real Mary never married, so Almanzo and Laura's children were Ma and Pa's first grandchildren.

@@thatguy2372 I think it was more so just an expression and they meant they wanted to call each other grandma and grandpa regarding Laura’s baby, since they probably weren’t called it a lot after the baby died, I don’t think it was done in a disrespectful way.

Just like ma told her to. I used to watch this with my mom in the 70s. This and family feud was our favorite. I enjoyed watching my mother enjoy more than anything. Not much made her seem happy in those days

Jennifer wellman I think Laura was spoiled like when she got almanzo to comment on her hair and dress

@@kellymcfalls1458 it had nothing to do with being spoiled. She was fighting with Almanzo and her father all season long being treated like a woman instead of a little girl. In this episode she finally 1. became a teacher (her father earlier said that she is a woman when she is a teacher)... and 2. she asked Almanzo about all her look just to check if he finally gets it that she is NOT tgat "qute little girl" but a grown up possible love interest. :-D ;-)

Amen!

I know I love the look on her face 😂

The good ole days... When people of certain races were not treated well and were not paid the same wages even with the same level of education, intelligence, and experience.

I'd rather have the right to vote.

There's always the Amish!

​@@Michelle-pn9xtWhat does ALL that even mean or got to do with LHOTP??! 🤔

I’m 16 but this show raised me up

relax bro

Well, to be fair, I rediscovered this show. I'm 26 years old and my mom used to watch this series as a kid. She's the same age as Melissa Gilbert and she learned how to speak English because of this TV series. It's one of those gems of a show that wasn't redubbed in Tagalog language here in the Philippines back in the 70's and they would show it almost weekly at that time on the local TV channel. She's more than happy to know that my generation highly appreciates and still watches this show. It's a perfect way for a millenial and a 50+ baby boomer to bond this pandemic and I have to thank Michael Landon for that.

Charles' laugh is everything! It's adorable! 💙

Christina Wilks this show is amazing! I love it.

her mom was uncomfortable? I heard that Melissa herself wasn't comfortable either

Melissa was very uncomfortable with the kissing scene herself especially since she had never kissed anyone on or offscreen.

@@jennywaldrop9864 which is understandable. it's weird that ppl think everyone must be comfortable w/ everything but if you're young usually you're new at it

@@oooh19 Yeah. I am sure that this teenager had never kissed a grown man. That would not be a good thing if she had done that. Hopefully, he was not involved with teenagers in real life.

@@Michelle-pn9xt yea the show took place in the 1800s so it's obviously different

So special!

Laura is a very lovely name.

I liked that they didn't have the stereotypical cookie-cutter relationship. They argued, had fights, behaved childishly at times but ultimately loved each other more than anything. I think their relationship was more realistic than Charles' and Caroline's

It was a happy marriage for them till their death. Laid rest side by side... I started to write my life.jounals after I knew LTHOP was Laura"s diaries made into books.. how wonderful

would be kinda boring if all the show's couples had the same type of relationship, huh? :-p

S Brunning hmmm double standards, eh?

It might have something do with the age difference. **Spoiler** Plus, Mary’s fiancé before she married Adam cheated on her so that might be a factor

@@madisonlewe1057 Are you talking about John Jr?

I watch it all the time when iam home want to get the tapes when I can find them and have the money it's one of the best shows on TV besides the Waltons etc have a Jesus filled day

Dina Mule in the novel Laura is 10 years younger than Almanzo. So when Laura is 16 Almanzo is 26. A young teenage with an adult man.

Tavullia Bella yes they were a decade apart I agree. However all the girl characters around her age were allowed to be grown up sooner: dressing mature, hair pulled up and wearing heels. The writers kept her looking juvenile for far too long. Nellie wasn't too much older and dressing womanly much sooner. Mary was only a few yrs younger yet Pa had no problem with her marrying at age 15 to John Sanderson. Mary wore heels at 15 and a mature dress. Almanzo couldnt see her as his equal when she dresses and looks like she can pass for his kid sister. I can see his hesitation in being careful not too seem like he is preying on her bec she looks SO much younger than him in looks and height. Even in heels she is still alot shorter than him. That was my point in my previous comment. He asked Eliza Jane in a roundabout manner if he was being inappropriate by liking her. "She's just a kid right" Eliza Jane said "no she's not".

Dina Mule agreed with you in that point

@@tavulliabella8458 Not only in the book but in real life too. The real Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 and Almanzo in 1857. They married in 1885 when she was 18. They remained married for 64 years until his death in 1949 at 92. Laura died in 1957 at 90 years old. Their daughter Rose was born in 1886 and died in 1968.

@@craigsmith157 👍

Donald Clifft Full episodes are shown on True Entertainment channel here in the UK

So Hart feeling .

I agree. Why was everything Mary did a younger age ok and when Laura wanted to she was too young. 1 theory I had is that Mary had her heart broken by john Sanderson when he was cheating on her at college. Maybe Charles didnt want Laura to experience the same anguish at 15 that Mary did so he figured let Laura wait a few yrs

The real life Mary never married. Neither was she engaged. It was just drama for the tv show.

Was Dean Butler who said it on an interview with the cast years later 😊 I swear, I was just turned 16 and I was so excited my family thought I was silly. All those Harlequin novels made me a romantic 😊 or was it the Barbara Cartland novels, lol?

DottyGale8 omg same! I thought I was the only one who thought that 😂

Dont all fathers wish for that?

I think that must be the hardest part about being a parent, because eventually your children have to grow up. That's a fear that every parent shares.

She WAS a little girl compared to the man who was interested in her!

I feel as if most fathers do

typical dad I'm sure Almanzo will feel the same way when his daughter becomes interested in someone

Pearl the rebel. No he doesn’t. He looks totally hot with long hair!

absolutely NOT! Today's haircuts are terrible

She was not a woman. You mentioned the guy being a young boy, so why do you think she should be seen as a woman? Lots of men like to think that girls are women when they are not.

Yes as he takes her bag while she gets in the wagon he gazes at her in awe. She didnt think he'd ever look at her in a womanly manner.

@@Michelle-pn9xt I didnt say she was a woman, just seemed older to him.

I think the real life Laura was seen as a woman at 16 and ready to marry at 18. That was largely because she could do a woman's work as the wife of a farmer.

Também amo muito essa série ❤️
