the godsister

i haven't seen this episode... i musta missed it

You haven't missed much!

i take it it

I think that would be the general concensus of the forum.

There are so many other things they could have done to concentrate on the character of Carrie that I don't know why they chose this one. It's probably one of my least favorite episodes.

Ok, I'll stand up and say that I might be the only one who liked this episode. I think it's a sweet storyline--Pa reads stories to Carrie every night before bed. When he is gone and no one else can fill his place, she imagines a friend to keep her company.
Now, the acting may have been a bit better. I don't think that Sidney and Lindsay were the best actresses on the planet but I'm sure they did their best *maybe*.
The twins kept switching roles. One has a gap between her front teeth and I always have fun watching this episode finding the one with the gap. I don't notice the gap in other episodes, have any of you?
I like this eppie.

Yes. I think we don't like it cause the twins acting performance. If there was acted by other little actresses, it could have been much better. Remember what a great acting work Melissa Gilbert would do at their same age! She was terrific! Poor Greenbush twins were not wonderful actresses, to say the least.

The storyline is good. I have a cousin who experienced a similar story than Carrie in this epie. I already told about him in the old forum. He believed he had a friend named "Pafundi" and would tell absurd and long stories about him. I remember specially one: a car had crashed on Pafundi and his tripes were out: "...But then an ambulance came -told my cousin-and Pafundi went to the hospital and there they put inside him his tripes and now he is allright again"

I must say that I rather like Carrie and Alyssa's story about these geant fruits!

:Hahaha: That's quite an imagination!!



Alyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyssssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

That's all I have to say. :Hahaha:

I've only seen this episode once in the last year plus a few months, although I probably saw it when it first ran. Since it's a 90-minute episode, it's rarely shown on the U.S. TV networks. Hallmark occasionally shows 90-minute episodes on Saturday mornings, but I don't think TV Land shows them at all.

I also don't think this was a horrible episode. It wasn't one of my favorites, but I'd watch it again if it were on. I think "The Halloween Dream" was probably the worst episode of the series. I've read various theories on why the character of Carrie was nearly written out of the series in the later seasons, so many that I don't know which is right. I just know it was a disappointment to not see the character develop. Carrie was cute as a toddler in the early seasons with her expressions and her one-liners, e.g. "I get to milk the cows!", and "I want sugar on mine!" But, when she got older, the character needed a lot more depth to make her interesting.

It seems it's a roll of the dice when very young children are cast in a long-running series. You really have no idea of their acting talent until they get older. It seems by age five or so, you can get a better feel for it. I'm thinking specifically of Keshia Knight Pulliam (Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show) and Mackenzie Rosman (Ruthie Camden on 7th Heaven) and how entertaining they were as five and six-year-olds. Yet, their characters developed as they got older. I guess LHotP could have started with Carrie as a five-year-old. That would have made the age difference between Laura and Carrie closer to reality.

BTW, Marilyn, I've also noticed that one of the Greenbushes had a gap between her front teeth. I think it was Sidney.

The Godsister = Disaster

Poor Carrie went from speaking cute one liners... to a two part episode... then to not so cute one-liners (Example: Laura, I have to gooooo (pee).. :sad5:

I think the main problem with the last line you mentiones (the pee one ) is that Carrie was too big to act in such a way. I think she must have six or so when they arrived to Winoka...

Try to think about something else!

You hit it right on the head Vanesa. They insisted upon making Carrie the cute little sister even after Grace came along. This is so unrealistic for the time period where children were expected to start helping out on the farm. How often did we see Carrie doing chores? I think an even more annoying example of how they insisted upon keeping Carrie a little girl is the episode "The Werewolf of Walnut Grove" where in a very whiny voice Carrie interrupts Albert the werewolf trying to intimidate Bart Slater. "I'm gonna tell Ma," she says to Laura if her older sister doesn't come in and help with Grace. The voice is awful in and of itself, but at Carrie's age she would have been expected to handle Grace on her own.

Mark your calendars now. "The Godsister" will air on Hallmark Saturday, November 3 at 7:00am Eastern Time, right after "The Halloween Dream". Now, if they'd only show "The Older Brothers" and "For the Love of Blanche" on the same day, that would have to make it the best day in the history of TV. Well, maybe not.

is that when thier in winoka and they meet albert?

Yep.Laura helped him to get out the money Albert had lost, using a chewing gum...and when Laura returns to Carrie...oh, well...she'd wet her dress. Well, no, not her dress. She had wet Winoka's street. What a shame! Then, Laura took her inside the hotel trying people not to notice what Carre had done!
