"LITTLE GIRL LOST"

“LITTLE GIRL LOST”


Laura and Mary get an assignment from school that involves collecting bugs and observing them. When Laura and Mary go to collect bugs, Carrie goes along with them. Mary is furious at Carrie when she lets her bugs loose. Although Mary tells Carrie to stay put and not to do anything, Carrie chases after a beautiful butterfly and ends up falling into an old mine shaft. Mr. Laudy, an ex-miner and an alcoholic saves Carrie.
















Nice episode. I really loved seeing how the town came together to help the Ingalls in that time of need. Poor Caroline... you could see the pain she felt... I felt bad for Ms. Beadle when Caroline started yelling at her telling her it was her fault all that happened.... Caroline was just too tired and she had just about given up towards the end... she's just laying there on the ground.

This was a good episode, a little sad for my taste, but I liked seeing everyone get together to help get Carrie out. I thought maybe the town would have listened to that man - I cant remember his name - the first time. I am sure they would have taken all procautions necessary. But Carrie made it out so I am satisfied.

I really like this episode. Karen Grassle's acting is great in this episode.

i love this episode ,,,,,,i agree karen grassle stole this one ....i think us mums all related to her feelings

I'm not a mum, but I still think her acting is great.

Terrific acting! Karen Grassle put tears on my eyes when she performs a desperate mother who is almost close to become crazy, for she knows her little daughter is suffering and could even die...

Karl Swenson also did a great work as Lars Hanson, when he was extremely in anguish remembering the woman he had loved so deeply and that was now dead.

Vanesa.

This was a nice episode.It showed how a town comes together in a time like this.really

Just saw this episode today after reading the comments here last week.
Sweetkrissy made the comment of the whole town coming together and that was nice to see. Nels urgent call, 'go to the storeroom and get what you need!!' was perfect. Did you notice Harriet was nowhere to be found in this episode? She would have been there with her ledger marking down every item that was needed for Carries rescue as the men took them off the shelves.
Caroline, with her head pressed to the ground after believing her baby was dead was a kick in the heart. Well shot.
Hanson got a great part in this episode and played it well and the redemption at the end was expected but fit well.

oh right,Never noticed that "Harriet" was missing in this esp.

I don't mean to sound like I'M blaming the girls.Cause i really don't think it's anyones fault. The girls should of paid more attention to her. you know little kids will alway's wounder off has soon has you turn your back.

this is a good & sad episode. Well done, of Karen Grassle acting. They very good job, having Sidney or Lindsay of wearing dirt make-up Unless ML told one of the twins to get dirty in the mud.

I was glad, Charles, Isiah, & Nels listen to that one guy (Who had a drinking problem.)

Ya,episodes never usually was about her

As many times I have seen the episode, I never noticed Mrs.Oleson was missing in the episode. Joe is right, Mrs.Oleson would have written down all the equiptment taken out of the store room that was used to save Carrie. Karen did a great job as a worried mother. It was heart breaking seeing her lying on the ground after the cave in and Dr.Baker saying the whole thing caved in and it was no use. If Carl hadn't been there and mentioned that Mr.Laudy was right about Carrie being in a mine shaft, Carrie would have died because no one believed Mr.Laudy.

Aww..I don't think Harriet would have done that. To be honest, I was talking to another fan and she said when it counted, Harriet would be kind. Blizzard, storms, etc. Even though she wanted recognition she offered to get the church/school bell, help the blind school rebuild.
I remember her telling Caroline she could have a dress half price for her reunion and it was only because Caroline laughed hysterically at the thought of Harriet not having her reunion yet, she took the offer back (and the fact Grace broke something)


Granted she was more mean and snarky most of the time, but give her her due as they say, she had her moments.

Yes. I agree. Harriet could seem she was awfully evil , but in fact, she wasn't . It was a little as if she plated to be mean . Nellie was meaner than her mother...and Nancy was meaner than Harriet and Nellie together...

I wish we could have seen Mr. Loudy's character again, maybe when his daughter visited. I realize he was a big star but once more to show him working and cleaned up.

I like how Karen really got to stretch her role in this show, as a mother, it's your worst nightmare not to be able to help your child. She went through a gamet of emotions.
Some of the best shows are depicting everyone helping each other, whether it's the adults or children, as with Tinker Jones. That feeling is something the world needs more.

John Ireland was a very good actor. He was in Winoka Warriors
also and gave a very good performance. Cleaned up in that one.

Just watched this one. I loved how Willie was so obedient and didn't even ask questions about what the emergency was....just did exactly what his father told him. His character really went through some nice changes throughout the series.

Lars did kind of bother me in this one. His refusal to listen to Mr. Loudy and to keep the men digging that other shaft could have cost not only Carrie's life, but also the lives of Charles, Isaiah, Carl, and Mr. Loudy, couldn't it?

Anyway, glad that everyone made it through alive. I think Carrie would have been a bit more beat up than she was.

Also wish they had used the Carrie character more. I feel like they didn't give the Greenbush girls enough to do to develop their acting. Carrie was really cute in this episode, too. I felt sorry for her when she so badly wanted to go with her big sisters and they didn't want her along.
