"FRED"

[Note from Carol regarding Editing]
Since I do the Episode Reviews, I have been given acces in the Episode Reviews forum to edit, move posts so that all posts regarding an episode stay together. If I post an episode review that has some post already started.... instead of me using the quotes feature... I will just edit the first post of whoever started the thread about that episode to include the pictures of the episodes at the top of the thread. That way, all comments and posts remain in their original form. [End of Carol's Note]


Laura is tricked into taking a "one of a kind" billy goat home with her. After Fred eats some of the Ingalls' crops, Laura is forced to get rid of the billy goat. Every person that Laura wanted to give the billy goat to resulted in a funny time. Laura finally decides to set him free in the wild. This episode is guaranteed to make you laugh!


Well this is one hilarious episode! That is all I have to say....
As soon as Charles gets kicked in the behind... I started rolling. At the dinner table Mary starts laughing... the conversation goes like this:

Charles: "Is there something funny?"
Mary: "I'm sorry Pa, it's just that, I got to thinking about how Laura named the goat 'Friendly Fred'
Charles: "I've seen more friendship when I poked a hole in a hornet's nest"

I think this is the funniest episode of little house that was ever made, For those who may not know or remember, Fred was a billy goat that Laura got for doing some work. Fred was good at destroying things and ramming people in the but when they bent over. It was funny seeing misses Olsen get hit and knocked in the mud. DOC Baker, Rev Alden, Mr Edwards, Charles all got hit.

Haha, yeah. That was one of the best episodes from the early seasons.

Beckie

haha lol

I think it was so funny when Mrs. Oleson got butted in the rear by Fred. lol!

I love this episode...makes me laugh 'til the tears run down my face every time...

I havn't seen this episode. I want too soo bad. But the people who I'm borrowing the DVD's from does not have the disc with this one on it! It went from disc 1 to 3. I was pretty disapointed, esp. after I read all of these post about it! :o(

"Fred" is a great episode. It's the last of its kind!

Yes, it's a hilarious episode, but there's a bit of seriousness in it too. If you get the Hallmark Channel, you should be able to watch it in a month or so in the 10am or 11am time slot. They're currently showing season 1 in the morning time slots, so it won't be long before they get to season 3.

Agreed, very much agreed!!

I was wrong....My friends who I borrow LHOTP from DID have this disc. I watched it Sunday night for the first time. I'm still laughing!! When Mr. Parsons got hit, and started saying all those things about Fred, my brothers were laughing so hard it was funny watching them!
I think Pa was funny too, all the things he said about Fred.
Laura: "He's the last of his kind"
Pa: "Well, I certanily hope so!"

And, Mr. Edwards saying how much he liked goats....with biscuits and gravy!

:Hahaha:

Yeah, FRED is one hilarious episode! I put it on one time for my parents, aunts, grandma, cousins... and they were laughing hard!

I remember I did a poll a while back asking whose knockdown was the funniest Maybe I should post that again :think: lol

I'm sure Rhonda would like to borrow Fred, too!

We have two goats for my son's 4-H and it is fun to just stand there and watch how they behave. My son will sit on a upside down trough we have out there and that one goat will get up there beside him and "nudge" him off! Then he'll jump off and twist in the air!

What a sweet thing? Do you really have two goats? I wish I could see how they plays in the upside-down!

Vanesa.

I would like to get bumped by a goat just for the experience :haha:

Well, its happend to me before. We have milk goats, and a billy, who is HUGE! I havn't gotten butted by him (yet) but we did have one before, that I got in a 'tussle' with, and it was NOT fun. They can really hurt you. Thankfully I didn't get hurt, but I still don't care to repeat it!
But, I still did think Fred was SO FUNNY!

My husband raised a few goats growing up and he would love to get in the yard and "wrestle" with them. They are very interesting animals....but alot like small children...you have to watch out for them. :kitty:

yea, the does are nice (most of them!) and we have one that is really sweet. (her name's sweetie) and she is super friendly.

See first post above.

I generally like goofy episodes, but I don't really appreciate this one. It's okay, but not a favorite.

It reminds me of "The Loaded Goat" from the Andy Griffith show.

I agree that it's the last of its kind!

Goats are so spunky and sweet! I used to play with one of them in the mountains, and it made me laugh as hard as "Fred" episode!
