Playing the little Joe in Bonanza truly established him as a big TV star. After starring in such huge hits, Landon felt like writing episodes and directing them. This opportunity was presented to him by Ed Friendly, the producer of Little House on the Prairie. Michael Landon joined the Prairie cast as Charles Ingalls and this would become one of his most successful roles. The pair wouldn't have even been on the show if it wasn't for a friend of the family.

When the circus comes to town, Nels discovers that his estranged obese sister, Annabelle, whom he was always ashamed of when they were kids, is the Fat Lady, and seeks to avoid anyone knowing this. When Annabelle visits the Blind School, Nels' shame is still apparent. Meanwhile, Laura becomes depressed when she goes to ask Almanzo to the circus, only to find out that he is already taking a rude, snobby and snooty young woman named Christie, for whom she has been mending a dress.

Rachel Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush as Carrie Ingalls

Bateman has been married to Amanda Anka, daughter of crooner Paul Anka, since 2001. He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2004 and died on July 9, 2005. Prior to the show, she appeared in popular series like All in the Family and Ironside.

Willie graduates and his mother expects him to go on to college, but Willie has fallen in love with his girlfriend Rachel Brown, and wants to marry and take over the running of the family's restaurant. Mrs. Oleson opposes his plans and cruelly insults Rachel, and when Willie stands up to his mother and defends Rachel against her, she vows not to show up at the wedding. In the event, she does go, but theatrically dressed in black funeral clothes. Nels later reminds Harriet that his mother similarly opposed their marriage, and he says he has never regretted it.

In fact, the years the events actually took place were 1869 to 1870. So Laura was actually two to three years old while the Ingalls family lived in Indian Territory during 1869–1870, and she did not remember the incidents herself. She did more historical research on this novel than on any other novel she wrote in an attempt to have all details as accurate as possible.

Storyline

However, Almanzo takes a second job so that he can secretly pay the shortfall of rent for the blind school, persuading Houston the caretaker to tell Laura that the landlord has reduced the rent. Then Laura sees Almanzo in town with a saloon girl and thinks he has found a new girlfriend. Later, through working two jobs, Almanzo becomes gravely ill with pneumonia. She goes to care for Almanzo and, with the matter of the 'other woman' cleared up, they make up.

Backdoor pilot

When we were making it, all of us were in similar situation to what the family was in. We didn’t know what it was going to be like, we didn’t know how to do, we didn’t know each other, we were learning to bond … in the mud, in the snow. I always felt like the actual experience we were having helped to make the pilot feel genuine,” says Grassle, 82.

After being nursed back to health by Charles, Joe decides to stay in Walnut Grove and make a new living as a farmer. He then finds that his own estranged son is now trying to become a boxer. Now, Joe's biggest challenge is to figure out how to keep his son from making the same mistake he did. Carrie goes along with Laura and Mary when they go out collecting insects for a school project, but Carrie wanders off and falls into an abandoned mine shaft.

Sarah eventually grows tired of being told what to do, and stands up to her father. Sarah's father eventually sees the error of his ways and lets Sarah and her family stay in Walnut Grove. Hester-Sue's ex-husband, Sam Terhune, comes to Walnut Grove claiming he has reformed himself from his drinking and gambling and asking for a second chance with her. Although she is initially suspicious and cautious, Hester-Sue eventually gives in to her feeling that she still loves him, and it is not long before they plan to re-marry. However, on the wedding day, some surprise visitors show up, and Hester-Sue sadly realizes that, despite his good intentions, Sam has not changed. When Laura announces that she is expecting a baby, Caroline says that she is also.

The only recent role she has is in a film called A Shortstop Away. Melissa Gilbert was perhaps the most famous child actor in the world during the show’s original run. She played the role of Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie and first got her start in the industry as a child actress in the 1960s.

Finally, the trains begin running again, bringing the Ingalls family a Christmas barrel full of good things – including a turkey. In the last chapter, they sit down to enjoy their Christmas dinner in May. Many of the incidents in the book are actual situations that happened to the Ingalls family.

The Olesons surprise the Ingalls and Garvey families when they move to Winoka as well. Nels takes a job at the saloon and they move into the rooming house next door, all of which are also owned by Standish. While out fishing, Laura finds a bottle in the creek with a note inside that reads "Be my friend." She eventually persuades Charles to help her look for the writer of the note, but instead they find an abandoned baby.
