I end up crying. Happened back when the show was in production and still happens now with the reruns. Now my nose is running. Michael Landon was the master of making audiences cry!!

It was also the way Pa cried at the end of just about every episode ~ tears of joy.

I swear every time I catch an episode of Little House it's the one where Mary goes blind. And I bawl every time.

The most traumatic episodes for me were when Mary lost her baby and Albert was dying.

Albert had a rare blood disorder and he came home but didn't want ma and the others to know how serious it was. I don't think they showed him actually die on the show. His withdrawl from morphine was another gut wrenching episode.

I was a little girl when the show was in its original run, and I remember asking my mom why she cried during every episode. She said she didn't know, it just made her cry. Now my daughter has watched it with me and asked why I cry at every episode. I tell her what my mother told me. I don't know, it just does! |

Oh my - clown rape and blind school burning down with Alice and Adam Jr in it - can't stand to watch those at all, but a lot of them make me cry.

His withdrawl from morphine was another gut wrenching episode. At the end of the morphine episode, Laura says that Albert went on to become the best doctor Walnut Grove ever had. Then the next year he came back and died. I was crushed! |

One of my favorite episodes is when Laura is smitten with a boy at school and all the kids make fun of them and towards the end someone writes Laura loves <insert boy's name> on the blackboard or maybe it was <insert boy's name> loves Laura. All the kids are laughing and carrying on and Laura is mortified. Miss Beadle is all mad at the kids but the boy says it's okay because it's true. I bawl every time I see that one.

That was such a wonderful series. By todays standards it now seems so tame. Good episodes. Taught lessons on life. Like the Waltons.

It was that darned Nellie Olsen who made you cry, wasn't it.

I apparently didn't finish watching the show until it went off the air because I had no idea about Albert or the school burning. This makes me want to go see if it is on Netflix or one of those sites so I can watch it completely. Another great classic so many of us grew up watching.

My mom and my sisters and I used to watch that after school and bawl our eyes out. My dad would come home from work and wonder what the heck was going on.

I'm a huge crier too, I can watch an ad for one of those feel good shows and be wiping tears from my eyes. I do recall Mary losing her baby and the blind school burning down but I didn't watch the actual episodes, must have caught the follow up ones. But I didn't know Albert died.  I think 'Pa' was very good at bringing the audience to tears. It was the same with Highway to Heaven too. How sad was it when Marks wife died. |

The one I love starts out at a modern day auction. Then they play the opening to Little House and you are going "what the heck." Then it's back on the prairie and Charles is making furniture for extra money. I won't spoil the ending but that one makes me cry in a sweet way (as opposed to a sad way) every time. The first time I watched that episode, I was in college and my sorority sister and I had been studying all day for a test in an evening class. A couple of hours before the test, we both said how nervous we were about the test and we really didn't feel ready to take it. We decided that for the last two hours before the test, we'd study on our own. She went to her room and studied. I went to my room and turned on the tv and watched Little House. At the end of the show, my friend came to get me to go to class and she found me in tears. She said "Ginny it's okay. You'll do alright on the test." She thought I was crying about the test, but I was crying over Little House.  I actually did very well on the test, so I'm glad I didn't miss that episode of Little House!  |
