Posted: 7/7/09 at 4:36pmWould you have fought Valerie Harper so hard for the SAG Presidency?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

You can have them. Grab a cab, come on see the wizard at Park and Seventy-third.

Posted: 7/8/09 at 2:58pmWhat exactly is this thread saying ???????????? and what about Melissa Gilbert?
#5re: If You Were Melissa Gilbert...
Posted: 7/8/09 at 3:03pmDidn't you see the Nip/Tuck episode where Melissa Gilbert played a military wife who got her boob bitten off by her dog that kept her "company" while her husband was away!

Posted: 7/8/09 at 3:06pmA few years ago, Mel Gilbert and Val Harper got into a big fight over who actually won the office of SAG President.

Posted: 7/8/09 at 3:12pmI would trust Gilbert. Anyone who's looked after their blind sister the way she did for so many years can be trusted to look out for the members of the SAG community.

"Anyone who's looked after their blind sister"
I always felt sorry for Mel-Sue. Her fate was written in the Little House books. You know she picked up each new script with fear and trembling wondering "Is this the episode where I go blind? Maybe if I'm nice to Mr. Landon, he'll put it off for another season."

So I guess you could say she SAW it coming, right? Ba dum bump.
#11re: If You Were Melissa Gilbert...
Posted: 7/8/09 at 4:26pmHer name was Mary on the show. Her real name is Melissa Sue Anderson.

Posted: 7/8/09 at 5:35pmI thought the blindness was tv manufactured? I remember Anderson in an interview saying something like: ratings are down....what can we do? Ooh....lets do something terrible to Mary....blindness? lose a child? There were WAY too many seasons of LH for them to all follow the books.

Posted: 7/8/09 at 5:48pmThe real Mary went blind in the books, too. She just went blind instantly with Scarlett Fever. On the show, the doctor said her condition wasn't good and she would go blind.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

"She just went blind instantly with Scarlett Fever."
That's the official story, but I think she went blind because she was trying to write her memoirs by candlelight. Then once she went blind, Laura stole the writing and made it about her.
Let's face it, would you rather hear a story about a well behaved blonde haired, blue eyed girl or a story about an unruly girl with buck teeth and pigtails who answers to the name Half-Pint and likes to go fishing?

Posted: 7/9/09 at 8:17amLike any other show, Little House needs its bitches, and that show goes nowhere without Nellie and Mrs. Olsen. The TV villainesses to follow (Dynasty, Melrose, etc.) have NOTHING on those two.

Poor Mrs. Olsen was just misunderstood. She was used to fine breeding and culture and when Ma Ingalls brought in her unwashed bunch it was too much. They put their grimey hands on the calico and made it unfit to sell. Their family always smelled like horse manure and left a track of mud in the store long after they left. And why couldn't Charles build a bigger house? Forcing children to sleep in the attic is not wise.

Except when they tried to make lightning strike twice with Nancy. She was just irritating.

Posted: 7/9/09 at 3:29pmThe show jumped the shark when Miss Beadle and her lemon verbena left Walnut Grove. I was devastated.

This thread is hilarious. I read all of the Little House books and LOVED the show.
My mom actually made my sister and I little outfits like Mary and Laura wore on the show and we would wear them while we watched.
I can't believe I'm actually admitting that.
KFTC!!!!!
#23re: If You Were Melissa Gilbert...
Posted: 7/9/09 at 7:59pmAwww- how cute! Who were you- Laura or Mary- or little Carrie? I find it funny that Linwood Boomer, who played Mary's blind husband Adam, was the creator of Malcolm in the Middle! I also love Anne of Green Gables! Love that series!
#24re: If You Were Melissa Gilbert...
Posted: 7/10/09 at 1:58amI love Little House. Just had to chip in. Can't explain why the show is so addicting, but it IS!
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?
