Karen Grassle was the unsung hero of that show. She took what could have been a nothing role and infused it with warmth and strength and sincerity. I remember listening to some of Caroline’s lines and thinking how they would have sounded fake or corny in lesser hands. But Karen sold them. A fine actor.
And she was mostly drunk during filming apparently lol
I think Karen Grassle looked a lot like the real Caroline Ingalls, although prettier. But she has what Laura wrote to describe her mother, “when she smiled, the sun came out.” Karen has that kind of smile.
Perfect person chosen
So true !!!! She was great 👍🏻 😊
@@ShuffleUpandDeal32no way do I believe that ……
When I hear Ma's voice I just melt. There is so much love in that voice.
So much warmth and gentleness.
Yeah, apparently she was a very "loving" young woman back in the day...Way ahead of her time, even to the point that "Buck Rogers In The 25th Century" gave her gonorrhea during one her cheating flings. She admits to being a big fan of Mexico's climate...and abortion clinics. Wholesome family fun...Woo Hoo!
She did not have a good experience when making it. I feel for her especially so many actors remember it in such a good way and she can't feel same way
Same!
If she didn’t have such a good experience then why do these 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I just love the friendship that exists to this day of Melissa Gilbert and Allison Arngrim. They bring shared stories of humor and memories from this beloved series. I am glad I grew up during this period of time to watch the first run episodes as a girl.
So true and I agree with you about the friendship between Melissa and Allison. It's very real and I love it! In Allison's autobiography book called Confessions of a Prairie Bitch..., she explains in detail how that all started. It's a great read! :)
I completely agree. Yes we loved to hate Nellie as they were growing up. However, of all the shows and scenes they had with each other, my absolute favorite is Nellie Returns. I wished they would had more scenes in that episode together. The friendship that these two had developed after being frenemies was outstanding. I love the part where Nellie goes to visit Laura, Laura comes out of the house and calls her name, they run to each other and hug. Nellie admits to Laura that she misses her, and Laura replies back, Ahhh I miss you too. Then Nellie says I can't believe we're saying this to each other, do you remember how we used to fight? Laura, I sure do. I just loved that whole exchange.
Me too. I always wanted to be in that family !!!
@@LiveINtheGood53 that's interesting. I may have to get that book. I'm not a big reader, but that book sounds interesting.
@@KarenAnn_2007 Nellie and her mother made the show interesting: otherwise, if everybody had been a goody-goody, it would have been extremely boring.
We need more shows like this especially now when we are living in such a divided country. Michael Landon knew how to focus on the important things in life that brought families and people together. He is so missed!
I don't think we are as divided as everybody thinks I think there are a lot more people who are not divided It's just you only hear from the loud ones And And the news media Distorting everything And social media I think 60% of the people on social media are trolls They're not even real people
could you get some perspective please...LHOTP was on tv during the vietnam war, the wategate scandal and the inflation over the top...do you think the country was not divided back then? THe divided country lie is a media trope to get attention and click, don't be naive
I loved Michael Landon. He was such a great father on the show.
Karen Grassle has lived in Berkeley her whole life, I wonder if she is a left wing fascist.
I grew up watching Little house on the Prairie, and I still watch the reruns today and I will never get tired of the show.
me too
The one show we never missed from the time Little house first aired until the series finale. One of the best in TV history.
I still watch Little House. I love it
Same. I watch it over and over
The world needs a warm and loving family like this
My mom and I watch back to back marathons of this show! I never get tired! ❤
Never‼️😂. My daughter & I do same thing!! Lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Because it's WHOLESOME but also well-written and acted.
Wish they would make a new series that catches up with the "Little House" characters later in their lives! Laura Ingalls Wilder's life was incredible till the end! Someone needs to write a new series for Ma, Nellie and Laura... bring back these talented actors to the roles that made them famous. Create a new mini series that would become an all time classic! This story is not finished. Seriously, they need to do it!
It would be a mess. Not the same.
@@hizgrase It doesn't have to be the same.
I agree,with the right set up it would be great.
No one could do it like Michael Landon.
Love karen grassle what an amazing actress
Melissa Gilbert was a brilliant child actor.
Yes, she was. Melissa Gilbert, was by far, one of the best, child actors in Hollywood. Loved her as, Half pint. There couldn’t have been anyone, to play, that role, better than Melissa Gilbert. She deserved a Emmy for her, portrayal as Laura Ingalls.
She sets the bar.
Hello,on the 70s-80s,me and my 5 Bros where sitting all the saturday evenings on the floor in our living room watsching the "little house" on tv! Thank you so much to you all for an happy childhood❤And now with 57 Years i allways sitting in the living room watching the "little house" on tv! Best wishes from Luxemburg❤
So amazing that Melissa said her favorite episode is "The Lord is My Shepherd".....many folks would agree.
Why is that amazing? That was such a great showcase for her acting chops. Very touching and dramatic.
Come on MANm, Melissa Gilbert without LHOTP is *"NOTHING"* , PERIOD. No ACCLAIM to *ANYTHING* thereafter, to be mentioned GREAT in anything. These REMNANTS to this DAY are still trying to be VIABLE, even if they have to TALK-DOWN on previous cast mates, EVEN the DEAD ONES.
@@lemurianchick Because there are 204 episodes of LH so the odds were less than 1 percent. I'm thrilled she loves it. That episode was absolute perfection!
It's one of THE BEST.
@@Tropicalpisces I cried like a baby. The first time I saw it was probably around age 8.
What a pleasure to see these lovely ladies. It is enjoyable to hear about their personal lives and on Little House on the Prairie stories and friendships. I would love to see more of these get togethers. God Bless
I finally talked my daughter of 32 years old to watch these, man!... She is hooked!!
It was great to see this...we are from Spain and watched it with my children and the neighbourhood children every Sunday afternoon it was our church...now my husband and I are now 78 Pastors of an evangelical church and every evening at home we watch "Little house on the Prairie" in spanish!!...with our 13 and 9 year old grandchildren and they are so enjoying it....thku all very much...the Lord bless you all...
This was just priceless. The feelings that this show emoted, to see beloved actors reminisce on what touched everyone. Do you think there is a giant hole in this nation's conscience, lacking in a moral anchor? This show will fill it. Melissa Gilbert looks FABULOUS!
Very entertaining to listen to the actors' stories of their experiences on LHOTP. I remember watching each week while growing up in the 1970s.
Who else besides me would LOVE if found footage turned up of Melissa & Allison finding and playing on the Yellow Brick Road!
I can't get enough of Little House. Loved it.
There was so many good characters mrs Olson was one,great
My fav, hands down.
I shall always cherish little house
Wow! What a wonderful 26 minutes of video. These childhood actresses made the world a better place. Karen's voice and demeanor still makes me want to marry her.
This was really nice and done in a dignified way and I really enjoyed it!
My favorite episode was the wheelchair down the hill! We all wanted to see Nellie get her just deserts! It was soul-satisfying! 🤣
Amazing actresses!!! Cant get enough. The best part is that its based on real people. These ladies are just amazing!! Love them!!❤❤❤
I remember Sunday afternoons in Glasgow, Scotland in the 70s. Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade, followed by Scotsport and then Little House on the Prairie. I loved the rivalry with the Olsens.
Would have loved to see Melissa Sue Anderson in the line up as well.. 😞
When Melissa smiles you can still see that Laura smile like nothing has changed....wow.
Such gracious and lovely ladies. I’m so glad that they did this event and that they are still friends. 🥰
I love Karen. Such a sweet sweet spirit. Met her in a Kroger parking lot once in lville 5 minutes from my home. I was so star struck. I wish I could do that meeting over. ❤️❤️❤️
Karen Grassle's voice brings me right back to "Ma"! And she looks great too, they all do! 50 years, wow.
I still watch Little House On The Prairie. ❤😊
Thank you Fandom! What a great concept and I've had Little House on the brain this week so it was a delight to watch! All three ladies have great personalities and are very entertaining.
I think it would be great if Melissa Gilbert did a tv movie of the adult Laura when she first began writing the Little House books.
She's the right age now to play Laura when she started writing her books.
3 very lovely ladies. Loved hearing their recollections. Thanks for sharing.
Love these ladies especially Alison. I met her at her show in France💜💕🇲🇫
That was really great. I never knew that Allison's family was in Knoxville. During little house I grew up in LaFollette so to see those three just 35-40 miles from where I grew up on this podcast is wonderful. I would really like to visit Simi valley and the other shooting locations where those three and the rest of the crew actually made the show someday. God bless little house and the great Michael Landon.
I don't think it exists because I have seen other interviews and the cast always seems to slip away that question.
Little house and the Waltons were and still is the best family shows on tv
I agreed! Wish they made more shows like this. 15:55 😊
Merci pour tout le bonheur que vous nous avez apporter avec cette série.
Couldn't wait to watch Little house & the Waltons every week growing up. My favorite of LHOTP is the wheel chair episode. I remember laughing,cheering & clapping at the same time! It was great.
I love little house, such talent at such young ages back then. I'm glad they're still friends and hang out!! ❤❤❤✌
I don’t know about “talent.”
By what I’ve seen/heard/read, Michael Landon was a task-master.
I grew up watching the show and my dad read the books to me at bed time. I can’t bring myself to watch the show again. The show was very good. I don’t know why I can’t watch again. A lot has happened since I watched the show for the first time - it’s too emotional for me.
I understand! You’re doing the right thing.
It’s so wonderful to see/hear Ma ❤
I have fond memories of watching this show with my grandmother. She loved that show big time.❤️
I still watch the show because it reminds me of a time when we valued morals and God.
I just started watching these reruns. Great show!
Loved Little House On the Prairie and all the actors. ❤❤❤
Melissa and Alison, i love it when you met your hubbys on show too . I love them both and miss Steve Tracy
Great interview. Nothing but kindness and fond memories, how refreshing!
How fun is this? Alison love your hair! Great to hear the stories. I watch the shows everyday at lunch my new routine with my rescue dog.😁
I also loved the hair styles . Nelly's hair curls beautiful.
So funny and charming! Loved every minute. Thank you so much for uploading the video!
Merci Alison d'être venu chez nous en France dans la somme.
LOVED watching the show growing up. I must be weird because I was team Nellie and Harriet all the way. What fun it must have been to play those roles. You couldn't hate them but you hated them, ya know? I'm so so sad Katherine McGregor has passed and didn't have a chance to participate in these reunions. I heard her personality was huge and I bet she'd have been entertaining to listen to.
I didn't like Nellie when I was growing up. As an an adult I like her and Harriet so much more because it allows me to teach my children. There are many parallels with those characters to people we encounter in life and it allows us to discuss things. For example, Harriet defends Nellie, takes her side and believes her no matter what, and she cannot fathom her little girl lying to her. Well, there are people like that. It's therapeutic and comical to see Nellie and Harriet. It helps. It helps make the world make sense. As long as my kids don't act like Nellie before meeting her husband, they're allowed to watch.
You're not weird for sure I also loved those characters. I love this programme it's the best. A huge part of my growing up
Alison’s book, Confessions of. Prairie Bitch is fantastic! It’s interesting, tragic and hilariously funny! I read it twice and loved it!
Lovely ladies! Enjoyed this video and panel!🙏❤️
love Karen.
I love Karen Grassle... She's such a sweet lady
I really loved watching this, I smiled and laughed the whole way through. Thanks for the memories.
We still are watching little house and the waltons, every weekday at five on hallmark
Would love to meet all the actors/actresses from Little House.
I was glued to this program.. it really was awesome.. the writer of this had something else.. all the actors had the same...
Fantastic mixture
This was fun, thank you!
Some of the Little House cast appeared on Highway To Heaven.
Hi ,God bless you all ,great loved the show was alot of crying for me. 😢 😊
I love hearing Nelli - Allison talk!
The best show on TV EVER. THANK YOU FOR THE WORK.
How NEATO! Popped up in my feed. This was a great idea for the panel, to post this on you tube - and the host is GOOD! Love that I stumbled across this-
Melissa and Michael were and is the best in the show.
They all were!!!
WHERE IS MARY? I THINK SHE DISASSOCIATES HERSELF FROM THE SHOW OR DIDNT GET ALONG W GILBERT?
This is absolutely fantastic you really need to get together and do this again it's ringing Melissa Sue Anderson
One of the best shows there was.
I wish I was at a panel with these people
Our true love is Alison Arngrim ❤️
I loved when Nellie is standing there with eggs dripping off her, and Caroline comes in and says Nellie what happened, and Nellie says ,something wonderful, he said i was pretty.
Wow I’m so happy finding this!
Hi Ma, Laura (Half-Pint) and Nellie !! I enjoyed watching you all on Little House. I especially liked the episode, The Talking Machine.
Would Be a Good Thing is Little House Was Brought Back (as is the Trend With Reviving Old Shows, ) Doesnt Matter if THE TOWN BURNED DOWN, ,, That Could Be Explained in a Dream Sequence as DALLAS Did Years Ago With Their Cliffhanger!!. The New Show Could Focus On Nellie & Her Children, & How Cute Would it Be For Nellies Daughter To Be Even Brattier Than She Was!! Also Laura, Almanzo, Rose , Mary, Carrie, Grace, There Are So Many Characters To Work With ... Rose Would Be a Great Focal Point as She Was a Famous Book Writer & Worked For a Newspaper!!!!
The ensemble of actors in LHOTP were great every single one, each playing their part beautifully. Alison must have had some difficulty from the shows fans because she was so darn great acting the nelly part as was the actress who played her mom Mrs Olson, where as Melissa and Karen were probably treated like sweet smelling delicate flowers, Lol.
Yes she got attacked in public twice! One time she was knocked down from behind and the other, she had a can of soda thrown at her head! People really need to grow up and learn to seperate actors from their characters!😡😢
@@agnesholingue994 I think the general world populace is definitely more educated about TV and movies these days, in fact the baddies probably get more love which is a bit crazy but why not as we both said they are actors not villains.
@@agnesholingue994plus getting called a bitch at school. Alison and Melissa hung out at each other's houses when they were at Allison's they would go to the store and people would warn Melissa that Alison was in the store too they actually feared for her safety 😂
Omg I love this!!!
I was at that convention and all three were great.. my dad was not a bigg fan until he spoke with Karen and he said she was wonderful
Tengo la colecion de la serie y ise la casa con ellos adentro Recordar es volver a vivir siempre Gracias michael Landon descansen en paz los actores que no estan ya 😢😊
Love these ladies! ❤❤❤
Could you imagine if they did some continuous story. The surviving members living their age but that time period.. I don't think it would hurt the story at all. They already did sequel movies
I love this!!
Bonjour à tous.🇨🇵
Que cela fait plaisir de voir mes 3 actrices préférées. Si joyeuses et amies💞
Merci à Karen qui m'a donnée l'exemple d'une maman et d'une femme aimante et dévouée à sa famille💞
La Petite Maison dans la Prairie devrait être bénie, tant ils ont tous été des modèles, j'ai 63 ans et ne me suis jamais lassée de regarder les épisodes 💝💖
C'est comme pour moi, un antidépresseur, dans un monde qui change trop vite et dont les valeurs se perdent. 🙏
Une jolie pensée pour Mikaël et tous ceux qui sont partis💝💞💖🙏🕯😘😘😘
1974 me: Nellie is awful! I wanna punch her!
2023 me: Alison is a sweetheart. I wanna hug her!
Amazing! And all the ladies look great!
lololol i love that episode too ladies, and Nellies mom... its a miracle faint hahahaha
If I could ever meet Melissa Gilbert and Alison Ingram, I know I would fit in as their friend.
TRRIMA KASIH...
Show,a lot of great episodes.Allison was also great 👍
Love this ❤❤
My favorite show ever
That was fun, Carolyn sounds the same
Agree with Melissa lord is my shepherd between her and Michael Landon chemistry just emotional🥺😭when Laura thinks her anger and jealous because pa not giving enough attention that cause death of Charles Jr not true👎 but because in the unfortunate diagnosis just won’t allowthe blood flow thru and caused stopped breathing in peace left a letter and ran away out of guilt and Charles desperately needed to find her thought he lose her too and when started tearing behind the horse was just wrenching💔 and til found thanks to Jonathan the mysterious man guiding looking for god and give the answers that she needs👍 and watching Michael and Melissa in reunited in their arms in joy 🥲 like been missing for days in aftermath🥺💕
My most memorable episode. It brought tears. We need innocent family shows back like Little House, The Waltons, and Andy Griffith Show.
Mellisa Gilbert ❤❤❤❤
