I watched one
of my favourite episodes of Little House on the Prairie last night. It’s the one when Mr. Edwards meets and
courts the widow Snider. When I first
saw this show I was 21 and thought they were kind of old for romance! Both the actors were probably under 40 and
look very young to me now.
I love this episode because there are
such cute little details to the story, like how Mr. Edwards listens to Laura
and Mary tell about a Sunday School romance that starts with jealousy and you
can see the wheels of his mind turning.
Then he gets Laura to write an envelope for himself and puts some drops
of lemon verbena so Grace can be jealous (she’s the postmistress). I love how Mr. Edwards sings “Old Dan Tucker”
and kicks up his heels in a little jig.
I’ve sung that song many a time as I did my housework in imitation of
Mr. Edwards.
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing that helps
keep us young. We live in a wonderful
era where not only can we watch T.V. but we can watch 30 year old vintage
television. Invention can be a wonderful
thing.
What’s one of your favourite episodes
from past series?
