Tear-jerker Little House episodes

Very rare tv shows make you cry EVERY time you watch it but LHOP does.. very good film techniques + storylines = tear-jerker again and again... Also very talented actors too. I think Michael Landon is the only man I´ve seen so far who can cry poperly on tv without making it look pathetic or fake (not being to romantic nor macho) respect Michael!

yes Michael Landon was appreciable s ' is for it
who ' he/it had a pity easy tear that he/it has us
to leave so quickly

The one who was not so credible in tear-jerker scenes was Melissa Sue Anderson. She always liked a little fake when crying! :crySC: The only GOOD sad moment she could perform was the one when she discovers she is blind, but she shouts rather than cry...

I think each episode had a little something that touches my heat time and tiem again. You would think seeing each episode at least a dozen or more times your heart wouldnt melt all over again and again I find myself reaching for a tissue while watching this episode or that.

I totally agree with everything you said!

I tear up on so many episodes, I can't even count them.

I'm pathetic.

And I agree, no matter how many times I see certains episodes...I still get all teary eyed.

one tells toujour himself n ' is qu ' an goodbye.
then goodbye Landon gentleman

Cheyenne...Your "Michael Landon Memorial" is also tear-jerker! But I loved it...It's wonderful. Mikkie will be very pleased at Heaven! :woohooo:

Aww, that's very nice Gino!

Most of them made me cry, but the one truly devastating episode (and i'm not sure whats it's called) is the one where Alice Garvy and Marys' son die in the blind school fire!![/b][/i]

The Hunter gets to me every time when Charles sends Laura to fetch the horse after he's been shot and just after she leaves he prays to God to not let his daughter see him die. ML best emotional performance in my book.

Lord is my shepherd - when charles breaks down along the road looking for Laura and begins to cry, showing despair and loss of hope. (sniff-sniff)

The second scene in "Chicago" where the Ingalls family is sitting at the table talking about John, Jr. touched me. I think it's the scenes that weren't too mushy that were the most powerful. I know John plumetted in popularity after he cheated on Mary and he wasn't a central character in the series, but Karen Grassle's acting in this scene was so realistic, adn I thought Melissa did well with her subtle facial expressions. Laura wasn't as distraught by the news as the others since she was so young when she knew John and never really knew him that well, but she was still quiet and reflective.

the first episode I got teary-eyed in was "Look Back To Yesterday," and on Saturday I was watching "May We Make Them Proud" and that's a sad episode too!" plus several other ones have made me sad too

I got teary the first time I heard Reverend Alden say "We bury a friend today" in The Last Farewell.

"I'll Be Waving as You Drive Away" always makes me cry. Especially when Mary wakes up in the morning and realizes she is blind. That whole scene was acted so well by Melissa Sue Anderson.

You have all mentioned so many good ones.
I just think of The Lord is my Shepard. The presence of another baby for Ma and Pa to love was just more than Laura could take. Pa seemed to want that boy more than he wanted Laura. In her jealousy and anger Laura did not pray for young Charles, he soon died and then it was guilt she felt.
Seeing her Pa so sad must have put her in "fix it" mode. She wanted Pa happy again and If that meant leaving him to get Charles back and making him happy ...she would do it.
This is an awesome eppy to learn to be grateful with what we have even in our saddest times.

I totally agree...Mike had nightmarish childhood which always triggered his tears when it came to very emotional family scenes I read somewhere thy had to shoot some emotional scenes quite a few times because he got too teary-eyed Love your Mike picture, Cheyenne!!!!!

1:May We Make Them Proud;part 1 and 2
2:Remember Me:part 1 and 2
3:The Last Farewell
4:Look Back To Yesterday
5:I'll Be Waving As You Drive away:part 1 and 2

7:A Matter Of Faith
8:A Child With No Name
9:Times Are Changing:part 1 and 2:Charles takes one last look around the house, Laura introduces the new teacher,Royal dies
10:Enchanted Cottage

What's the season 9 one when that older lady dies? I bawled the first time I saw that, because as a middle schooler I befriended some older women so that really got to me!

Here is my list:
1:May We Make Them Proud
2:The Last Farewell
3:Look Back To Yesterday when Charles learned Albert is dying
4:Remember Me
5:The Reincarnation of Nellie:Part 1:Mrs.Oleson learns Nellie, Percival and the twins are staying in New York and Adam announcing he and Mary are moving to New York
6:I'll Be Waving As You Drive Away
7:The Enchanted Cottage when Mary learned she will never get her eye sight back
8:Castoffs when Jack dies
9:Days of Sunshine, Days Of Shadow
10:Part 1 of Times Are Changin


When Charles and Caroline recite the 23rd psalm, it bring tears to my eyes. My mom died in 2004 and that was her favorite prayer/scripter in the Bible.

Which of these episodes from Season 1 do you guys think were emotional?

1. A Harvest of Friends
2. Country Girls
3. 100 Mile Walk
4. Town Party, Country Party
5. The Lord is My Shepherd
6. Christmas at Plum Creek

Out of that group, The Lord is My Shepherd is probably the most emotional.

What about the other five?

Varying degrees of tear-jerkiness. You really have to watch them and draw your own conclusions.
