---------------------







Another super wonderful episode of Little House! I can watch this one over and over and not get tired. There are so many good scenes!!!
I could sure see Michael Landon’s humor in this one. Here he is trying to have a nice trip w/ his wife and everything goes wrong LOL She keeps worrying about the kids and poor Charles has to lie to Mr. Edwards and tell him the trip was like a second honeymoon!
One of my favorite scenes is when Mr. Edwards cooks them snake soup, yuck. Poor Mary swallows that huge piece of meat! LOL!!! And Laura puts one in her mouth and begins to chew it quickly… all this while Carrie is enjoying it and shaking the snake tail.
Awesome work in producing this episode… it’s a classic. Two thumbs way up!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE This Episode

Such a funny episode. I loved the part where Mr Edwards nails Carrie's dress to the roof so he could keep an eye on her.

The snake soup is hilarious! You can almost smell it yourself!

And Charles' face is a picture when Caroline is having a nightmare. He thinks his luck's in (use your imagination!!) but Caroline falls back to sleep!!! Watch his reaction. It's SO funny! :haha:

superb episode! do I think that his/her/its must good the rattlesnake?

a good soup to take while pinching itself/themselves the nose....

Who already has eat some? his/her/its must be strong ?

I was laughing so hard, I was crying!!! The snake soup, and nailing Carries dress to the roof parts were so funny. I only saw this one once, so I really can't remember much.

Beckie

I agree! If I need a laugh, thins one never fails! Be you sure it makes me laugh!

Vanesa.

I absolutely loved this episode!!! it is by far one of my favorites!!!!! I loved what happened while Isaiah was taking care of the Ingalls girls. From the snake soup to the hole in the roof from the gunshot to Isaiah tying Carrie to the roof while fixing the gunshot hole, I laughed at this episode alot!!!

Good ol' Mr. Edwards! I don't even think he would have to talk to make you laugh. I think that his expressions would be enough to tell you what's going on!

I love the snake part! That's hilarious.
"Come on! Eat up! It'll put hair on your chest."
"I don't think I want hair on my chest."
"Oh, uh, right."

Then a big later after the girls say they really aren't very hungry.
Mr. E. "Oh, well that's all right. It'll keep 'til tomorrow."
Laura: "Oh, it will?"


Mr. E "Now, if your Pa comes right out and asks, 'Say, Edwards, you didn't shoot a whole in the roof did you', I'll just come out clean."

They did such an excellent job with Mr. Edwards. They always made him a consistent hick!

I like the part with Ma and Pa in Mankato, though I think the play went a bit far...

I love the music that's heard in this episode! Awesome!

This was a funny one .....nailing Carrie to the roof and the snake stew even jack wouldnt touch.....was like a comedy of errors

Yeah, this was a great one. In addition to the funny scenes others have mentioned, I also like the scene where Mr. Edwards attempts to read The Three Bears to Carrie. His version goes something like this -- "Well, you see, seems there was these three bears. One of 'em was an ornery-lookin' cuss..." Carrie interrupts with, "No, no, no! Once upon a time!" Laura informs Mr. Edwards that he needs to read the story as it's actually written because "kids are funny that way." Not wanting to admit that he can't read, Mr. Edwards passes the book to Laura and challenges her to read it. Laura gives him a look that says, "You can't be serious." She reads the first page and starts to hand the book back to Mr. Edwards, who responds with something like, "Well go on, keep readin'! Betcha can't. Looks like it gets harder to me." Come to think of it, maybe that's when Laura gives Mr. Edwards the "you can't be serious" look.

I'd forgotten that Jack wouldn't touch the snake stew! I think it was Mary or Laura that was brave enough to try the stew, and I laughed when Isaiah told Laura that the stew would put hair on her chest!

They did that same gag with Bandit when Albert tried to cook supper. I'm not sure which episode that was. It might have been "Oleson Versus Oleson".

this episode was funny, especially when Mr. Edwards nailed Carrie's dress to the roof, when Mr. Edwards made the snake soup and told Laura it would put hair on her chest, and when Mr. Edwards accidentally shot the hole in the roof of the house! those were my three favorite parts of this one

A Wonderful episode.

like this one.very funny

I have to say that I am very happy Hallmark has put this on at night because it is allowing me to watch as much as I can of the show again without having to pull out the DVD's. So, when I knew this episode was on last night, everything else had to stop until it was done.

I LOVE that scene! I just love how nicely Charles smiles at Caroline and then how he expression changes when she goes to sleep. It is great! In fact, I always say that this is one of my top favorite episodes because of Michael Landon's facial expressions. Just watch him as he watches her while they are watching the play! Great acting right there!

Then there is the play. What were the odds that it would be about that? I always loved the voices of the actors in that play. I love the lines in the play and the way they delivered them. It is so funny.

Best part will always be when Mr. Edwards nails Carrie to the roof, though. That is just classic.

And why did they ALL have to get on Edwards' back?? I love it when Caroline wants them to tell her what happened and the look Mr. Edwards gives them as they walk past him to go into the house.

This is the sort of episode where I can't see how anyone could dislike it!


Side thought here. I know why Caroline didn't get that bonnet, but it always bothered me that she didn't. She looked so pretty in it and I would've loved her to be able to show it off in front of Mrs. Oleson.

hey what does mr edwards say at the girls after he blasts a hole in the roof?
Sounds like, "What in tarneez are you two doing out of bed?"

I haven't seen it in a while, but from what you said he probably said tarnation.

Hey when Laura is listening to mr Edward's "Sitting Bull" story, her hands are on autopilot
She picks up a bean, then plops her hand in her milk cup. Have a watch and you'll see what i mean...!

This is a nice funny episode....good to have one like this in there since so many others in season one seem to be more tear-jerker types. I enjoy just having a more fun episode every once in a while.

I love this episode. Very funny episode, indeed.

Very funny one.Carrie acts up on him is funny.
ewww,snake stew.don't blame the girls for not eating it..lol

This episode is one of my very favorites; sooo funny! Mr. Edwards shooting the hole through the roof and trying to read the book to Carrie, the snake stew, and Ma worrying about the kids constantly while she was gone, especially at the play...
