Little House had many famous guest stars like Johnny Cash and Red Buttons. The pilot film inspired a miniseries in 2005 which was also heavily inspired by the novels of the same name. The three movie specials listed below were produced to tie up loose ends to storylines on both the two main series and those opened up in Hello and Goodbye.
Played by: Allison Balson
A new family, the Carters (Stan Ivar as John, Pamela Roylance as Sarah, Lindsay Kennedy as older son Jeb, and David Friedman as younger son Jason), move into the Ingalls house. Meanwhile, Almanzo and Laura take in their niece, Jenny Wilder (played by Shannen Doherty), when Almanzo's brother dies and raise her alongside their daughter, Rose. The Wilders appear prominently in some episodes, while in others they appear only in early scenes used to introduce the story or its characters. The explanation given for the original characters' absence was that they moved to Burr Oak, Iowa, to pursue a promising life. The show lost viewers, because the Ingalls family (except Laura) left the series. In Burr Oak, Iowa, Charles gets a promotion as a purchasing agent, and he takes Albert with him on a buying trip to Minnesota.
Played by: David Hooks
Then the townspeople learn that a land development tycoon, Nathan Lassiter (James Karen), has acquired title to all the land in Hero Township, which they had believed to be homesteading land. Having failed to defeat his claim on legal grounds and even with guns against an army cavalry unit, the townspeople are inspired by Laura to vent their anger at what they see as an injustice, and they decide upon a drastic plan of action. When Lassiter arrives to claim the town, he finds all the town buildings dynamited, and the townsfolk leave to start new lives elsewhere, as many of them have done before.
Season 3 Episode 18 “The Wisdom of Solomon”
Only when Percival tells her she is pretty does she soften and start to cooperate. However, as they return through Sleepy Eye, Laura spots an old courthouse building available for rent. The 1st Annual Charity Picnic is held at The Harriet Oleson Institute for the Advancement of Blind Children to raise funds to extend the building.
Most people wanted to see Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura; Karen Grassle who played Ma/Caroline Ingalls; or Alison Arngrim who played Nellie Oleson. Some cast members have appeared at smaller tributes, but this was the first time most of them were together. More than 18,000 people gathered for the Little House on the Prairie cast reunion and festival celebrating the show's 50th anniversary at a park in Simi Valley, California, not far from Big Sky Ranch where much of the series was filmed. They toured a replica of the Ingalls' house, the Oleson's Mercantile, and the one-room school house. Bateman's career grew in the 1980s with sitcoms like Silver Spoons, It's Your Move, and The Hogan Family.
Played by: Michael Landon, Matthew Labyorteaux (as a child)
The original Little House on the Prairie television series that aired on NBC is perhaps the best known visual incarnation of the series. It ran for nine seasons and over two-hundred episodes, not counting the pilot movie or the final three television films. It starred Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls, Karen Grassle as Caroline, Melissa Sue Anderson as Mary, Melissa Gilbert as Laura along with Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush both playing Carrie.
However, through a few twists of fate, both Laura and Almanzo make up in Sleepy Eye some time later. After Charles sees firsthand how devoted Laura is to Almanzo when he was sick, he agrees to let them marry when Laura turns 17. Not long after, Laura developed a crush on an older student, Johnny Johnson, who was actually interested in Mary. This resulted in some sibling rivalry between Laura and Mary, which didn’t happen often. Charles later explained to Laura that someday, like Mary, she’ll have many boys interested in her.
Laura and Carl come across an ex-miner who has seen the ill-effects of the search for gold and lives like a hermit. Eventually, seeing the bad effect it is having on others, Charles and Mr. Edwards realize that they have riches enough, in the shape of their loving families, and they decide to go home. Mary needs more surgery, something that weighs heavily on Charles' mind as he feverishly works to earn enough money for his daughter's surgery. Eventually, a fatigued Charles causes an accident that traps him and a co-worker inside. Mr. Edwards leads a harried but courageous effort to save the two men's lives. Mary is severely injured when a horse kicks her in the stomach while she is putting him away in the barn.
However, her late-night studying causes a fire in the barn, resulting in Caroline forbidding her to take the examination, but Mary decides to take the test anyway. When Caroline finds out the truth, she prepares for a showdown with Mary, but there is another surprise in the offing for her, and mother and daughter are reconciled. While in Mankato, Charles encounters a drunken Mr. Edwards in the midst of a bar fight and takes him back to Walnut Grove. To encourage him to stay, Charles gets him a job at Hanson's Mill, while Caroline quietly sets him up with widow Grace Snider.
However, Almanzo had been cheated and was forced to sell the land back, putting all hopes for a marriage off. Wanting to strike out on her own and see her brother happy, Eliza Jane lied and said she had gotten engaged so that she’d be able to move out, thus giving Laura and Almanzo the house. With the wedding now back on, Laura and Almanzo finally marry on her sister Mary’s wedding anniversary in a small ceremony in the blind school. The Ingalls family then traveled back north and settled on another farm near Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Mary and Laura soon had to attend school and were dubbed “country girls” by Nellie Oleson. The teacher of the school was Eva Beadle, known as “Miss Beadle,” of whom both Laura and Mary grew very fond.
The characters Mary and Adam had taken a back seat and only appeared a handful of times in the 7th season. Melissa Sue Anderson decided to leave the show, and only appeared in 2 episodes of season 8. She appeared briefly in The Reincarnation of Nellie Part 1, and as a guest star in The Christmas They Never Forgot. Subsequently, the shots of her running down the hill with her sisters were removed from the opening theme. Joe Kagan gives up his farm and moves to Sleepy Eye to work with Jonathan Garvey in his freight business and hoping to persuade Hester-Sue to marry him. However, although she has feelings for Joe, he reminds her of her shiftless and unfaithful ex-husband, and she has plans to marry a successful local businessman.
Most notably, the Disney Channel star appeared as Paige in the Brat TV series Mani from 2018 to 2022. After her Brady Bunch years starring as Cindy, the youngest of the blended brood, Susan Olsen took a step back from life on set. Many of her more recent on-screen gigs revisited the family classic — which aired from 1969 to 1974 — in retrospective specials. The Seaver family welcomed a fourth child, Chrissy, during the fourth season of Growing Pains, but Ashley Johnson didn't start playing the youngest sibling until season 6, when Chrissy's toddler days were done. The sitcom launched Johnson's Hollywood career, which led to her further success into adulthood.
