Little-known mistakes and bloopers in Little House on the Praire

If you think Little House on the Prairie was picture-perfect, think again!

This beloved classic, known for its timeless charm, wholesome stories, and adventurous spirit, wasn’t without its share of slip-ups.

Despite its seemingly flawless appearance, a myriad of bloopers and mistakes somehow made it past the editing room.

I still find myself glued to reruns of Little House on the Prairie, just like my parents were back in the day. In an instant, it transports us to the late 19th century, and introduces us to the resilient Ingalls family.

Watching the episodes now, it’s clear that the show’s message is as powerful as ever — treating others with respect, embracing honesty, and valuing the importance of family and friends.

But those of us with a sharp eye have discovered a treasure trove of blunders and goofs that are sure to make you do a double-take — and maybe even make you chuckle.

Laura’s mystic pregnancy

Laura first announced her pregnancy late in season seven, during a warm season, with the flowers blooming and the prairie looking its best.

Yet, by the time the following summer rolled around, she was still very much expecting — leaving fans wondering just how long this prairie pregnancy was supposed to last.

Honestly, it just felt like there was a disconnect between the writers and the rest of the team, a clear case of sloppy story management.

Nellie Oleson wore a wig

We all remember Little House on the Prairie‘s resident troublemaker, Nellie Oleson, brought to life by Alison Arngrim. But did you know Nellie’s role in the show was much bigger than in the original books?

The character’s expanded presence is a testament to just how much viewers loved to hate this mischievous villain — especially when she teamed up with her equally conniving onscreen mother, Harriet.

Many surely remember Nellie’s iconic blonde curls, but achieving that look was no easy task. Alison Arngrim’s own hair was transformed into those signature ringlets using an old-fashioned curling iron that had to be heated in an oven — a rather painful process that required both time and patience.

The solution was to bring in a wig. To keep it securely in place, they used a large metal comb along with dozens of long, straight metal hairpins.

Colonel Sanders Cameo

One of the funniest bloopers on Little House on the Prairie has to be the unexpected appearance of Colonel Sanders, the iconic founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, in a season eight episode titled ”Wave of the Future.” In this storyline, Nellie’s restaurant transforms into a franchise.

But, as you can imagine, things don’t go as planned, and Nellie regrets the whole ordeal. In an attempt to break free from the contract, she teams up with Charles and Nels to open a rival restaurant.

Then, in a bizarre twist, none other than Colonel Sanders himself shows up, offering Harriet a deal to start her own chicken franchise.

Now, here’s where the hilarity kicks in: the good Colonel wasn’t even born until 1890, and KFC didn’t hatch until 1952. Meanwhile, Little House is supposed to be set in the 1870s and 1880s! Talk about a time-traveling entrepreneur.

And for a little extra flavor — whenever fried chicken showed up in any meal on the show, rumor has it that it actually came straight from KFC. So, maybe Colonel Sanders’ cameo wasn’t that far-fetched after all.

The missing coats

This is something I’ve often wondered about — the glaring lack of winter coats during freezing weather. In the episode titled “Bless All the Dear Children,” Laura’s baby gets kidnapped around Christmas in Minneapolis.

Now, anyone familiar with Minneapolis in December knows it can be downright frigid, yet everyone is strolling around without a coat, as Gilbert points out.

This oversight might be due to the fact that the show was filmed in Tucson, Arizona, during the summer months.

A fashion slip

In some episodes, you can catch a glimpse of Caroline’s bra when she moves just the right way. Considering the series is set in the 1870s and 1880s, this is a bit of an anachronism — since bras weren’t even invented until 1912!

Some of the women also sport hairstyles with perms or curls on set – a look more at home in the 1970s than in the 1880s.

On a similar note, you might have noticed that most of the men in the series are clean-shaven, which is a far cry from the historical photos of the era. In reality, the vast majority of adult men sported facial hair — beards were all the rage. In fact, Charles Ingalls himself had a beard for most of his adult life. It seems like the show’s grooming choices didn’t quite match the rugged fashion of the time.

A dummy instead of a living person

In the season five episode “The Odyssey,” an intense moment unfolds when an unknown assailant tries to throw Albert off a moving train.

But Laura quickly jumps into action, shoving the villain off just in time to save Albert. However, amidst this dramatic scene, a funny blooper happens.

Keen-eyed viewers can spot a dummy being thrown from the train, landing awkwardly in the grass. Meanwhile, a fearless stuntman rolls down the hill, outdoing the stationary dummy in a hilarious contrast.

Melissa Sue Anderson was ”cold and aloof”..

From seasons one to seven of Little House on the Prairie, Melissa Sue Anderson won the hearts of fans as the beautiful blonde-haired Mary, the eldest child of Charles and Caroline Ingalls.

However, her co-stars found it challenging to connect with her. Both Melissa Gilbert and Alison Arngrim shared in their autobiographies that Melissa Sue Anderson —nicknamed “Missy” on set — often came across as cold and aloof during her time on the show. Yet, when you look at photos of the cast together, it’s hard to believe there was any distance between them.

Rumors swirled among the crew that Missy’s overprotective mother contributed to her tendency to keep to herself.

But Nellie and Laura became best friends

Alison Arngrim played the original mean girl, Nellie Oleson, the arch-nemesis of good girl Laura Ingalls, portrayed by Melissa Gilbert. But behind the scenes, it was a different story! Alison and Melissa hit it off and became the best of friends.

When the cameras stopped rolling, they were like real sisters, sharing laughs and creating memories that went beyond the show.

Off-set, they were partners in crime, enjoying sleepovers at each other’s homes and pulling pranks on their unsuspecting co-stars. Who would have thought that the fierce rivalry on screen would spark such a fun and playful friendship off-screen?

The Fallout of grief in “My Ellen”

One of the most memorable episodes of Little House on the Prairie is titled “My Ellen,” which revolves around the tragic drowning of Ellen Taylor.

When Laura and Mary go skinny-dipping with their friend Ellen Taylor, they suddenly find themselves in a tricky situation. Some boys come by, prompting the girls to hide underwater until the coast is clear.

While Laura and Mary manage to resurface safely, Ellen tragically becomes trapped and drowns. The aftermath is heart-wrenching, as Ellen’s grief-stricken mother, in her sorrow, blames Laura for the tragedy.

During Ellen’s funeral, her mother is overwhelmed with sorrow and blames Laura for the tragedy, saying, “YOU did this!” This gut-wrenching accusation hits Laura hard, especially since she already feels guilty about what happened. What stands out, though, is how the adults around them react. Instead of stepping in to defend Laura, they only exchange worried glances and let her suffer alone in her pain.

It’s a confusing moment. With so many adults present, including Reverend Alden and Doc Baker, you’d expect at least one of them to comfort Laura and reassure her that she isn’t to blame. Instead, they leave her to grapple with the harsh words on her own. In “My Ellen,” the emotional weight of the story is undeniable, but there are moments that feel disjointed in terms of storytelling

Michael Landon put frogs in his mouth

Pranks seemed to be a big part of the filming culture, and it was Michael Landon who often led the charge with his creative and funny antics. One hilarious prank was revealed by Rachel Greenbush, who played the youngest Ingalls sibling, Carrie.

The mischievous duo of Greenbush and her on-screen sister, Melissa Gilbert, would sneak off to the creek during breaks for some frog-catching adventures. With their slimy little friends in tow, they’d return to the set to surprise Landon.

In a playful twist, he would take the unsuspecting frogs and pop them in his mouth, then stroll over to fellow cast and crew members. With a cheeky grin, he’d open his mouth to let the frogs jump out, sending everyone around him into startled fits of laughter and panic.

Melissa Gilbert’s rift with Michael Landon

The cast had such great chemistry that you’d think they were a real family, and off-screen the co-stars were a big part of each other’s lives for many years.

But things weren’t always smooth between the actors, and one major incident caused a lasting rift between Melissa Gilbert and Michael Landon.

It all started when the young star discovered news that would forever change how she saw Landon. Landon, while married to his second wife Marjorie Lynn Noe, began an on-set affair with a much-younger woman, Little House‘s makeup artist and stand-in Cindy Clerico.

Gilbert recalls noticing how close Landon and Clerico were becoming on set, but dismissed the thought, refusing to think Landon would cheat on his wife.

“It was nothing untoward; they weren’t ever in a closed-off room, not that I saw,” she wrote in her memoir. “But Mike would walk around holding her puppy, and she was a pretty young thing who wore stylish tight jeans, leotards, and high-heel boots.”

Soon, the cast, including Gilbert, discovered the affair and were devastated by the actions of the actor they had looked up to as a father figure.

“For us, as kids, it was a real blow,” Melissa Sue Anderson later recalled in her biography. “Although we knew he could be difficult at times and had his flaws, we never dreamed he was capable of inflicting that kind of pain on his real family.

“For me personally, I had held him up to a higher moral standard. He had really let me down.”

The traveling quilt

Eagle-eyed fans with laser-like vision have spotted another hilarious blooper: the family quilt seems to have a mind of its own! This elusive quilt pops up in various locations throughout the series — on the Olsens’ bed, Charles and Caroline’s bed, and even on other characters’ beds.

Mostly white with a charming design resembling a double wedding ring quilt, it’s clear that some props were reused for efficiency.

And speaking of locations, have you noticed the Ingalls children’s puzzling journey to and from school? Their route seems to change from episode to episode. Sometimes, they cross the bridge and stroll past the sawmill, while other times they mysteriously appear on the road behind it.

Dean Butler almost killed himself

Some of the cast came into the show in later seasons, one of whom was Dean Butler, who starred as Laura Ingalls’ husband, Almanzo Wilder.

Just days following his college graduation, Dean made his way to the film set that was Little House. It would be a day to remember — for many reasons.

In Butler’s first scene, he was supposed to drive a horse wagon 200-yards down a hill. He had never done it before, and when Michael screamed “action”, things didn’t really work out. The breeze picked up his hat, with Butler instinctually dropping the reins to reach for it. At the same time, the horses, no longer under control, flew off the road and charged towards an oak tree.

People in the production were screaming, but luckily, a crew member managed to reach the horses before they hit the tree.

Dean’s first day on Little House could’ve gone better, with Michael Landon deciding to do the scene instead.

“Michael came up to me, chewing on a cigarette, and said ’well, I think I have to double, you know’,” Butler recalled Landon saying. “‘I can double you but not replace the horses on the show’. That was my first taste of being with Michael, but it was great fun.”

Did Albert die?

Albert Quinn Ingalls, played by a young Matthew Labyorteaux, would become a keystone of the series in 1978. The little boy is an orphan who is adopted in by the Ingalls family – but his exit from the series eluded many TV viewers.

In the 1983 made-for-TV movie ”Little House: Look Back to Yesterday”, Albert is diagnosed with leukemia. But did he die or not? That remains unclear to this date.

“He never officially died in the episode and I think maybe it’s kind of left up in the air to debate… but it was sort of an unspoken thing that we knew he was going to die,” the former child star said in an interview some years ago.

A timeless mistake

In the grand finale of Little House on the Prairie, the TV movie The Last Farewell, there’s a glaring oversight. Set in 1901, it’s clear that most of the characters should be in their 60s or 70s by the start of the 20th century.

For instance, the real-life Charles Ingalls passed away in 1902. The younger characters, like Carrie, Jenny, James, Cassandra, and Nancy, should have transitioned into young adulthood by this point.

Yet, when viewing images from the final seasons, it appears that everyone has aged remarkably little, as if time stood still in Walnut Grove. However, historically, the Wilders had moved to Missouri around the turn of the century.

Went on a pilgrimage to India

Did you notice that Katherine MacGregor, who played Harriet Oleson throughout all nine seasons, was missing from The Last Farewell?

While various reports state that she was on a pilgrimage to India due to her new Hindu faith, her absence from the series finale has another layer. According to other sources, it stemmed from a longstanding personal conflict with Michael Landon over salary and how her talent was utilized.

As we wrap up our journey through the bloopers and mistakes of Little House on the Prairie, we hope you’ve enjoyed this lighthearted look behind the scenes of Walnut Grove.

Nataliya Kuznetsova isn’t your average female bodybuilder

Keeping ourselves in shape is important for our body and soul to feel comfortable. For most of us, that means simple things like taking a walk or doing some light daily exercise.

For 33-year-old bodybuilder Nataliya Kuznetsova, however, keeping in shape looks a little different. The professional Russian female bodybuilder is said to hold the world arm lifting, bench press, and deadlift titles – with one look at her, it’s hard to believe otherwise.

Personally, I think everyone reserves the right to look however they want. Individuals should never be teased for their appearances – how one chooses to dress and shape themselves is, of course, entirely up to them.

Here at Newsner, we have previously reported on amazing and fascinating people who are strong enough to do things their own way. They don’t give a heck about society’s preconceived ideas of beauty, preferring to follow their own dreams.

I, for one, think that’s very important. We must never forget that all people are equal, and the cultural differences between us are what makes our world so colorful and lively. In any case, that’s my firm opinion.

Nataliya Kuznetsova, a Russian 29-year-old, holds the world arm lifting, bench press, and deadlift titles – and her entire lifestyle is about improving her muscular and impressive body.

Everything in her life has centered around always becoming stronger in the pursuit of being able to lift more. As a young woman, Nataliya knew what she wanted to do with her life. At 14, she began powerlifting and decided to become a bodybuilder, according to UK site LadBible. When she started her journey, she weighed just 80lbs.

Today, her scale usually shows anywhere between 246–275lbs.

Road to celebrity

There isn’t a lot of information out there concerning Nataliya’s childhood and upbringing. What we do know is that she was born Nataliya Trukhina on the first of July 1991, in Chita, southeast Siberia, Russia.

Growing up, she was very active. She loved training and combat sports in particular. So when she turned 14, Nataliya embarked on a bodybuilding career, going to the gym almost daily.

Under the supervision of coach Alexei Ivanov, a well-known and respected coach in the area, Nataliya was put on a rigorous diet.

The goal for Natalia wasn’t to build a mountain of muscle and compete. Instead, the main target of the gym classes was to get stronger, while attending some mass as a bonus.

But it didn’t take long before people noticed the young girl putting on weight and gaining bigger muscles every day. After a few years, she started signing up for competitions. Nataliya was entirely focused on becoming a bodybuilder, and she did very well in one of her first championships.

As a 17-year-old, she weighed only 150lbs, but was capable of bench-pressing 220lbs. According to Nataliya, this was in the early days of her career while she was still living in Chita. She hadn’t even discovered protein shakes and didn’t know how crucial it was for building muscles. Still, she managed to achieve some amazing results.

Whether it was simply because she discovered protein or not is a matter for others to debate, but to this date, Nataliya has won several championships and set numerous records.

According to The Famous People, the Russian colossus won the 2014 Cup of Eurasia in Vologda, Russia. In 2015, she became the Champion of the Cup Eastern Europe (GPA).

Nicknamed the World’s Most Muscular Woman, Nataliya holds many records in powerlifting, bench press NAP, and deadlifting. Her bench press record is over 374lbs, and her deadlift record is 530lbs. According to herself, Nataliya holds the European bench press and deadlift titles. The Russian gym lover is 5’7″ tall and weighs just over 220lbs during the offseason.

“It’s not about being perfect – it’s about showing up, putting in the effort and getting the work done to get you were to envision yourself to be-Everyday is another opportunity to move forward a little more,” she wrote on her Facebook account.

But Nataliya is more than just a powerful bodybuilder with an eye-catching exterior and biceps measuring 18.5 inches.

In 2013, she graduated from the Moscow State Academy of Physical Culture. She also participated in a “Manon Lescaut” production at the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia.

Today she lives in the Russian capital with her husband, bodybuilder Vladislav Kuznetsov. The couple met in 2009 and tied the knot in 2015. Nataliya often posts sweet tributes to her husband, who supports her in whatever challenges she takes on in her life. The couple have no children at the moment, but Nataliya would like to have one in the future.

”Our love story is quite modern. We met on the Internet, more precisely, on Odnoklassniki(a social network service in Russia). For a while, we only talked as friends,” Nataliya said in 2019.

Over the years, Nataliya has fought hard to be able to live on her passion. In the early years of her career, she was almost always short on money.

It was challenging to find sponsors, and she had to take money out of her own pocket to train and compete. In Russia, it wasn’t easy to get contributions or help – but since Nataliya has received quite a lot of attention and gone viral of late, things are looking brighter.

She currently has several sponsors and works with nutrition brands such as Oxytropin and RPS Nutrition.

Likely none of this would have been possible if she hadn’t been active on social media – pictures of her muscular body have been spread like wildfire over the years. Many have seen her face on the Internet – but probably quite a few know who the female goliath is.

“People definitely recognise me. An athletic body can be seen under clothes. Many people recognise me, ask to take a photo with them. Many people even know my name,” she told LadBible.

Nataliya has previously talked the preconceived opinions of other people. Some people call her ugly and refer to her by hurtful names, but she refers to them as children who cry when they meet someone far stronger than them.

“The classical standards and norms are long gone. Even the modeling industry is already ”very different”. My best advisor is a mirror,” she says.

However, she treasures all the love she gets from her numerous fans around the world.

“Most of my Instagram followers are men. They stand for around 75%, and it’s about the same percentage on other social networks. They write a lot. Compliments to an athlete are no different than compliments to a non-athlete,” she said.

Today, she has a whopping one million followers on Instagram. Nataliya, a unique Amazon woman, as she labels herself, constantly updates her fans with sneak-peaks from her everyday life. And of course, her feed is fully packed with gym tips and exercises.

She claims she was at one point tempted to try growth hormones, but ultimately decided they were not for her. However, she’s admitted to using estrogen blockers and other performance enhancers that are banned by most major sporting bodies.

In early 2017, Nataliya announced that she would leave the spotlight and “retire” from powerlifting, but only one and a half years later, she was back for the next big competition in Moscow. She also revealed that she was pursuing a career in coaching and wanted to help others “achieve their potential.”

What’s your opinion on Nataliya’s life choices? Is she doing the right thing by following her dreams, or is this pure madness?

Warning signs you should never ignore on your skin

Psoriasis is more than just a skin condition – it’s an autoimmune disorder that can manifest as scales, spots, or even crumbling nails. It is a condition that must be managed well.

There are five different types of this potentially painful disease and understanding exactly what you’re up against will help you manage it effectively. Remember, it is important to take care of your health.

If you would like to know more about psoriasis, then keep reading!

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, resulting in the rapid buildup of cells on the surface of the skin, forming scales, redness, and inflammation. V C

The Mayo Clinic describes psoriasis as “a skin disease that causes a rash with itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp.” This is not a rare skin disease but a more common one.

More than 125 million people worldwide, and about 8 million in the U.S. live with the “common, long-term (chronic) disease” that “can be painful, interfere with sleep and make it hard to concentrate.” The condition, after all, has an impact on your health

Though its exact cause is still a mystery, genetics and environmental triggers play a significant role.

The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) identifies five types of skin disease, each that comes with a social and emotional toll due to its visible symptoms.

Plaque psoriasis

According to the NPF, this is the most common type of psoriasis, characterized by dry, itchy, raised patches of skin (plaques) covered with scales. These patches can vary in number and typically appear on the elbows, knees, lower back, and scalp. The color of the plaques depends on skin tone and may heal with temporary discoloration, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially on darker skin. Any type of irregularity warrants medical attention.

Key characteristics

Texture: Thick and scaly
Color: Red or pink with a silvery overlay
Itch Factor: Moderate to severe

Guttate psoriasis

Primarily seen in children and young adults, guttate psoriasis often develops after a bacterial infection like strep throat. This type of psoriasis manifests as small, drop-like sores on the trunk, arms, or legs. Unlike plaque psoriasis, guttate spots are thinner and less scaly.

Key characteristics

Size: Small, teardrop-shaped spots
Trigger: Infections
Affected areas: Torso, limbs

Inverse psoriasis

Inverse psoriasis loves to hide in the folds of your skin like the groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. Unlike other types, it doesn’t have the signature scaling. Instead, it presents as shiny, smooth, red patches that can worsen with friction or sweating. Fungal infections are a common trigger for this form of psoriasis.

Key characteristics

Texture: Smooth and shiny
Location: Skin folds (where friction and sweat occur)
Irritation: Often worsened by sweat and rubbing

Because of its location, inverse psoriasis can be tricky to manage and is prone to fungal infections. Keep the area clean and dry!

Pustular psoriasis

This type is less common but dramatic in its presentation. Pustular psoriasis is characterized by white pustules (blisters filled with non-infectious pus) surrounded by inflamed, red skin. It can appear on specific areas like the hands and feet or spread across the body. We discuss some of the symptoms below.

Key characteristics

Appearance: Blisters filled with pus
Symptoms: Often accompanied by fever or chills
Severity: Can range from localized to widespread

Pustular psoriasis needs immediate medical attention. Don’t ignore those tiny blisters – they could be a sign of something serious!

Erythrodermic psoriasis

This is the rarest and most severe type, causing widespread redness, scaling, and peeling of the skin, often covering large parts of the body. Erythrodermic psoriasis can be life-threatening and usually requires hospitalization.

Key characteristics

Appearance: Intense redness and shedding of skin
Symptoms: Severe itching, pain, and swelling
Triggers: Severe sunburn, infection, or abrupt cessation of psoriasis treatment

This type of psoriasis isn’t something to wait out – call your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms!

In addition, the Mayo Clinic explains that psoriasis doesn’t limit itself to the skin. It can also affect your nails, causing them to become thickened, pitted, discolored, or even detach from the nail bed (a condition called onycholysis). Nail changes are often an early indicator of psoriatic arthritis, a related condition that affects the joints.

Psoriasis may come in different forms, but understanding its signs can empower you to take control. If you notice any of the signs we’ve covered, consult a dermatologist to get the care and treatment you deserve for your better overall health.
