Fresh and Fun for Season 8!
18 December 2021
It's so nice to have an episode with one-episode-only guest actors/characters who are not crazy racists, bigots, bamboozlers, huckster evangelicals, narrow-minded extremists, escaped criminals, "Gypsies", circus people... well, you known Little House! These are intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals and a few female (yea!) "big city" folk, etc. Set in a university town with summer classes and odd jobs. Laura is great with only a brief appearance of her hubby Manly (ugh - he does improve from their courtship of ultimatums), her new lovable academic friend Mort, a questionable professor, and good ole LIZA JANE in yet another CRAZY head space. The difference with her here though is that this one is resolved! A fresh and funny episode that I've always liked. It's nice to see Laura out on her own as adult too and, again, away from at least one Wilder...
