Editorial Reviews

Michael Landon wrote and directed this two-part tear-jerker that opened Little House on the Prairie's fifth season. The Ingalls family moves to the city after economic devastation compels them to leave their beloved Walnut Grove, and the bustle and noise they encounter are similar to George Bailey's nightmarish fantasy of Pottersville in It's a Wonderful Life. The saloon stays open past late, and the kids are picking up some bad words. Charles's wife, Caroline, who works as a cook and waitress at the local hotel, is harassed by the crude clientele. And Charles's boss, Mr. Standish, makes Mr. Potter look like Mr. Rogers. But Charles swallows his pride so the family can be near Mary, who teaches at the local blind school. Her climactic, moving speech expressing appreciation for the loved ones in her life is not just touching, it's Little House touching. This benchmark episode, a must-own for devotees of this beloved series based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's books, features the introduction of an orphaned scamp, Alfred, who will become a member of the Ingalls family in "There's No Place like Home."
