"THE LOVE OF JOHNNY JOHNSON"

“The Love of Johnny Johnson”


Laura falls in love with a new student, Johnny Johnson. Johnny, who is a lot older than Laura, is interested in Mary instead. Although Mary is not interested in Johnny, Laura's actions cause tension between the sisters. When Charles finds this out, he is appalled that either of his girls is involved with Johnny.















What a love triangle this is… Laura is in love with Johnny who is in love with Mary who doesn’t give a hoot about him LOL! I don’t know what Laura saw in him, but she must have seen something… I love the scene with Laura and her Ma, she knew just the right words to tell Laura to make her feel better and so did her Pa. I give this episode two thumbs up!!!

This is an OK Episode for me

waooooou! ! ! ! ! c ' is Johnny Johnson!!!!

He isn't the sharpest ax in the shed! He isn't very handsome (which is fine if you have character!) he isn't motivated....He's just . . . . male. That's it. At least he's harmless.

LOL!! You are too funny Savannah. I must say, I concur with your statement though..

l ' tree to lovers?

Yes. All the couples carved their names in the tree. They called it 'The sweetheart tree'. :love3:

I love this ep,It's funny/sad.I know how Laura feels,I have a sister whos 2 years older than me,And we've both liked the same boy,and it always seemed to go her way,lol!!

AAGGGHH!!! Where did they find Johnny?
Willie: "He looks like a scarecrow."

This episode makes me groan. :b

What's with the Romeo and Juliet music? :think: I did think that was funny.

i agree this episode is ok one for me.....I never really clicked with the charactor of Johnny Johnson and thought Willies comment about the scarecrow was spot on .....we have daughters a year apart when they both liked same boy it wasnt pretty lol ..........it wasnt as bad as the one when he travels away with Mr Edwards it is one of my least favourites...

I actually think "To See the World" is much better than "For the Love of Johnny Johnson". "To See the World" was one of the better early-season episodes. Good combination of seriousness and fun.

Yes, I believe he was in On the Banks of Plum Creek. I think he put cows out to pasture or something like that.

The episode is okay..........I just can't see what Laura sees in Johnny Johnson! He isn't very . . . . . . well, he's.........He isn't the sharpest ax in the shed!

But it would have made more sense if he weren't seeming to be so lacking in grey matter.

you put that in the best terms!

Love is blind, Savannah!

Just as well, in Johnny's case. :haha:

If you had to choose between Johnny Johnson and Luke Simms, who would you pick? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh sure, love is blind. I don't particularly care if he isn't overly handsome. He can be just plain ugly for all I care. But he was also lazy, unmotivated, and . . . . . to put it kindly, not very bright. It seems like the writers could have given us one good reason for Laura to have such a crush on him!

Maybe Laura liked his red, flowing hair.

Luke Simms, at least he wasn't afraid of working.

I agree.

I suppose that could be. But if it's the reason, they certainly didn't make it very clear.
