Little House Cast Reunion

Amy I agree, when I watched the other part, I felt, "Is he picking on Melissa too?" Even the hosts didn't let it go by....maybe they heard other things that were cut out? (hope not)

My big question is why after all these years they never did a TV reunion, even with some gone. 10 years ago, many would have been still here. So many have had an hour or two, MASH, Happy Days, Cheers, MTM, Waltons, etc. They usually have it on a "old time" TV channel, although MASH I think was on the station it was on.

You can talk, reminisce, show clips, outtakes, etc. I know Michael didn't like them, but he has been gone for a while. Unless they are paid well, to get dressed up, take planes, all the planning for 10 minutes? If you aren't pushing a book, etc. seems like a lot of work for little time. Melissa G made it seem on her page, she was heading home soon after.

She talked a lot about how botox looks so bad..not sure if that was a slam for anyone there or in general...although she had plastic surgery herself.

Our little "Albert" looked so handsome...they all aged well, but he did very well. :)

Here are some images of the opening evening for the "Little House on the Prairie" reunion in Tombstone (July 2005). I do not know why it says Part One, since I cannot find where they uploaded Part Two. But this was very good......I hope you like it.

Well, at least we know about that one!

  This made me laugh out loud.

The only damper on the whole thing was what Dean said about blind people...I wish he hadn't said that and you could tell the others were uncomfortable with it too.  We all know he is a good guy but it came off as a snarky remark and I just don't think he 'thought' before he spoke.  

Yes, when he said that my jaw dropped just a little and I was thinking, "Did he really just say that??" But I'm sure that you're right and that he didn't think before he spoke.

I thought everyone looked really nice. MSA looked SO beautiful. I think she looks even better now than she did in her Little House years. And, Amy - I noticed MG's braids, too. I thought that was cute.

I didn't get to see them on the today show, but I read an article on it and it was really neat to see the photograph of the cast members together again! It must have been pretty interesting for them to all be together again when they filmed the show so many years ago.

If you scroll up, there's a link where you can watch them on the Today Show online if you'd like.

I just watched a video with Alison Arngrim where she compared Nellie Oleson to other famous television villains... it was quite amusing. She really made Nellie sound bad!

Exactly, Rob! I was thinking cast member, cast member..........who IS that? Could it possibly be Willie? He DID have wavy hair back then. I wish he would come out of the woodwork and do one of these reunion get-togethers. He played a big role in the show.

Why isn't Melissa Gilbert in the above photo? She was there as well......hmmmmm......   

She had to go rebraid her hair. Gotta look good for Tim. Then hop back on a plane to go back to Michigan.

I hope it wasn't MSA Melissa G was making the botox crack about, she did look very pretty. Must be a little uncomfortable to be around people that you knew trashed you in their books. But they all were nice and MSA got along with most of the cast just fine.

Melissa was absent from a lot of pictures, but she did stay in a nice suite the night before, she posted that. Except for Katherine who wouldn't make appearances, is there anyone else left? (other than Jonathan?)

"Albert"

Ps Nice video Rhonda..MG had a different husband then but life marches on...nice to see them in a relaxed atmosphere.

Yes, it was twitter, not the reunion...I just wondered. Since she moved, I noticed an anti-Hollywood kind of feeling now but she isn't the young tabloid queen anymore. I think her life now is much better and I hope she knows that.

I just looked at her twitter page. She had just made some random comments about botox. She didn't call anyone out.

Yes Lisa, she kept talking about botox...not sure why (and I hope it has nothing to do with MSA).

Even Better Than Yesterday! Matt mentions burning down the school and morphine! Funny!

Much better than the Today show!

LOVED IT! Thank you for sharing. I guess MG didn't stay but I enjoyed it very much. I wonder if there are any more clips that will show up.

^^ That picture has Charlotte Stewart in it, yet she wasn't in the segment on the Today Show. MG's hair is the same, so I wonder when this was done.....

Yes, she's definitely mellowed and become more down to earth, but frankly I saw that happening even before she got to Michigan.  She seemed to have been pulling away from Hollywood some time ago and has just been 'done'.  But I agree that she even seems more 'non-Hollywood' now than ever.

Oh my gosh, I loved that!!  I loved that these hosts (especially 'pa', lol) actually were fans and knew little things about the show like that!  Very cool.  That was so funny when Matt said that!!!   But darn it, the video cuts him off at one point!  And it cuts off at the end too.  Any way of finding the other segment of this?

I am SOOOOOO confused!!! 

Alison mentioned a "truce" there...I don't know how MSA could stand seeing MG after she again recently trashed her with talk of her pushing her off a wagon. I don't think she even mentioned that in her book...and of course as a parent, I think, if true, what led up to that?" Michael would hate all that nastiness but they know he can't say anything.

Today Alison said on Twitter:

Joked of putting "Ma: in the middle on purpose. So high school-like...I'm so surprised...it's been how long??

I just to clear up confussion on the pic with Charlotte. She WAS in New York but did not appear before the cameras.......

I really enjoyed the interview. Though, I too, wished it could have been a little longer. I was also stumped about who Michael Landon, Jr. was. I kept thinking it was Almanzo's younger brother (cannot for the life of me remember the characters name), who wanted to try to get Almanzo's horse ready for a race, against Almanzo's wishes, and ended up injuring the horse. I kept wondering why they had a cast member on who was only on once.   They all looked great.
