Just curious to know, what is everyone's favorite epies and why? Sorry if this topic has been posted before, just thought it would be interesting.

My favorite will always be "Days of Sunshine, Days of Shadow". I love Dean Butler and I also love Laura and Almanzo as a couple, so I get to see a lot of that in this episode. In addition, the writers really threw everything at Laura and Almanzo in this one, and they both came out all right...maybe even stronger than before it all happened.

One of my favourite episodes is Whatever Happened to the Class of '56. It gives a beautiful insight into the relationship of Caroline and Charles and shows that money alone doesn't bring happiness.

Well, I've only seen to the end of season 3, but I think my fav would have to be 'The Richest Man in Walnut Grove.' I love that one. The whole family pulled together, even Carrie! lol "And I can milk the cow!"
It's hard to say, because I like most all of them!! GreenSmile

Don't know if I could choose my favorites, but the one I've probably seen the most times would be "I'll Be Waving As You Drive Away" because I love how how Charles has his faith tested. Michael Landon had some great scenes with Reverend Alden and Melissa Sue and it also serves as a huge pivotal point in the series. It's also the episode I began to like the character of Mary a lot more... and the fact Adam makes his appearance certainly helps it gain my vote.

You guys have all mentioned some great ones! Thumbsup

Oh, to pick a favorite though?! That's really tough. I think my absolute favorite ever is Christmas at Plum Creek. I really adore Country Girls though, and "The Award" ranks way up there for me as well. Thumbsup

We've picked favorites lots of times though, and I'm sure my answer has changed every time! haha

Ah...Picking just one....I don't know. Well. I have a lot of favs. "As Long as we are Together" maybe one...but "There's no PLace like home" too, and "He Loves me, He Loves me not" too.

I love them for the same reasons that I love the show: in these epies you have a great family love, a great faith in God and great love of a couple (Charles and Caroline in the first two ones. Laura and Amanzo, but also Percival and Nellie in the last one).

LHOTP has some kind of magic in it. That's the reason I love it to die! Love

Vanesa.

It's just so hard to only pick one! My top five fav. epies are Journey In The Spring, I'll Be Waving As You Drive Away, As Long As We're Together, May We Make Them Proud, and Home Again. I can never pick just one! I just love how the family pulls together in hard times and how their love always brings them through.

Subject: Re: Curious? Sun Apr 27, 2008 1:28 pm

I don't think I could ever pick just one favorite! Some of them off the top of my head, are: A Harvest of Friends, Country Girls, Christmas at Plum Creek, The Richest Man in Walnut Grove, Fagin, A Christmas They Never Forgot and Home Again. You know a TV show is great when so many fans can't narrow down the episodes to pick one favorite
