You have to remember Hester Sue, she worked mostly in the blind school with Mary and Adam. Remember the episode when the blind school burned and Mrs Garver was stuck in there with Mary's baby and busted out the window trying to get out.? Hester Sue led the children out She saw them in the window and shouted something like "The Baby" She was a very popular character.

That was grand to have Victor French's son and daughter there to honor him.

Thank you for being there, I am the same age as Laura I grew up watching this show, and 50 years later I am still watching, and it's still a great show.

Peacock has all 9 seasons of Little House on the Prairie. I’m currently on season 4. I love rewatching this series. Brings back good memories

Michael Landon was a incredible actor and one thing that we sadly don't have anymore is great TV!! TV was something truly special back then and it was sad that he didn't live long because he would done more amazing work. 🙏

At first look, I thought Victor French's son was actually him. I had to stop because I thought he passed away. Then, Mike stated it was his son. What a resemblance!!!

Hey Mike! This is one of the very best video's you've ever done, EPIC!!!! A shame Michael Landon isn't still here. I can just see that wide smile he had, he would have loved it! I miss Mr. Edwards too!!! I've read all the books and have watched all the shows, many many times! It is sad to see that golf cart and the picture of Michael, Mr. Edwards, and whoever else riding in it back then, having fun, laughing and cutting up, and so sad that they're gone now!!! A shame times aren't like this anymore! Thanks so much for taking us along Mike!!! I didn't just like this video, I lovedddddddddddddddddddddddd it!!!! So much fun, so many memories and so sad to know that a lot of them have already passed on!!!

My then husband and I went to L.A. for vacation in 2003 and spent a day exploring Santa Monica and Malibu. We were pleasantly surprised to stumble across the Michael Landon Community Center in Malibu. For those who haven't been there, it's across from Pepperdine University! The park where it sits overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is unbelievably scenic.

They really don't make shows like Little House any more, just a sweet, wonderful show that taught kids like me what was right and what was wrong, our generation growing up watching shows like LIttle House is one of the reasons we grew up to be good, decent and honest people - sadly that is lacking in today's society

FYI Mike, Michael Landon Jr. is the developer and executive producer (also wrote and directed some episodes) of the show "When Calls the Heart" which has been running for 11 seasons on the Hallmark Channel. It is set in 1910 in a coal mining town in western Canada and has much the same feel as Little House on the Prairie. It is shot in Langley, British Columbia at what is called the Jamestown movie set on the property of MacInnes Farms. Fun fact is Dom DeLuise's son Peter is a regular director for the show as well. One of my kids has been a crew member on the show for the past 7 seasons.

I thought I was the only 50 + guy that watched Little house. Stoked your so stoked being there

Still watch this show everyday never gets old!! Love LHOP

I'm glad you got to film this piece. And, as you said, there aren't true American Values in TV SHOWS like these anymore. I didn't grow up watching these TV shows, but I know they're good; my family did, though. They still watch all the seasons of Bonanza on KZread. I'm going to share this video with them. I know they will love it, Mike.😃 Thank you so much! They love Bonanza and Michael Landon. It would be best if you covered WonderCon this weekend. If you need tix, I can get you in.

She was one of the most Beautiful Child Stars and a Great Actress,Still Beautiful today,Too bad she isn’t at the event,always liked her demure presence

Like the Waltons convention in Waco Texas recently, I would have loved to meet the cast of Little House on the Prairie. I grew up watching that show and the Waltons and I can't get over how old they are now. It really makes me feel old myself.

Melissa still looks so much like Laura even if she's older. Good to see many of the actors are still alive (of course many where children when they started). What a show Michael Landon created, will be remembered and loved for many more years.

Hi GIV, I’m currently rewatching the series in its entirety and now that I’m older it is hitting home and I’m just loving it. If the world had held onto those values I can’t imagine what a better place it would be. Thank you to all the cast and especially Michael Landon. ❤❤😊😊

Keep in mind this is less than a year after the actors strike, so this had to have been a really nice payday for some of them that don’t get big residuals,but getting the love from Little House fans on what the show meant to fans had to have been priceless. This is still one of the biggest syndicated shows of all time.

One of the best characters Hollywood has produced is that of Caroline Ingalls. She was perfect! The real Caroline Ingalls would have been so pleased! It was such a joy to watch the cast of Little House on The Prairie. It was always entertaining! I still watch it on Roku. We need shows like this on television!

Cool, Laura Inngalls Wilder who wrote the Little House books lived and is buried about 20 miles from me in the Ozarks region of Missouri. Some of the actresses from the show have came to the Cherry Blossom Festival where I live. Even a star on the sidewalk in front of our museum.

I am here, in Russia, never heard of this TV series, these actors, a feeling, like alien from another planet. Interesting. So lot of people, seems, movie means much in their life, like Mike's. May be it worth to try to watch, to find some time.

Brought back so many memories!! Loved this show. Loved Touched by an Angel. When I was a teenager we went to vaca in LA & we stayed at the Beverly Hilton (quite the hot spot back then). There was a famous restaurant in the hotel, Trader Vics. It was my Mom, Aunt & I. I assumed we'd be seated in or near the kitchen LOL Although Mom was quite the stunner, with not a hair out of styled place, perfect makeup etc. So she chatted with the maître d' & he led us to this little island in the middle of the restaurant. The tables were very close. My Mom whispered something to me like "they are people too, don't stare." I didn't grasp why she said this. Then we were seated. To our left was Elton John, to our right Michael Landon!!!! People were staring from all over, but my Mom acted as if we were seated between any regular folks. A couple people kept coming to Michael Landon, while he was clearly trying to eat. So Mom positioned her handbag so they couldn't get by LOLOL He gave her a nod & ear to ear smile. So we all ate a great meal. Michael Landon was done a bit before us and on his way out stopped, smiled at all of us, told us what a pleasure to have been seated there, a little chit chat and smiled with such gratitude at my Mom. It was a great experience as well as a great lesson. Plus a short but lovely interchange. OH.... this would have been during the Little House years and I was shocked that his hair was totally gray. STUNNING but gray. But when we saw him on TV in a month or so, it was blonde. So guess he colored it for shows for many years. Quite the handsome man either way!!! Elton John didn't even glance at us LOL

8:58 I met Patrick while working one day as a soda vendor in Anaheim at a Ralph's. lol I was on the aisle doing my job and heard someone walking near on the aisle, so, when I looked at him, I recognized him from the TV show JAG. I said, you look familiar, JAG, right? He said, Yes! He was so nice and we both were cordial. I shook his hand and he obliged, we chatted about that show for a minute or so, and then I helped him with what he needed right there. lol That is the second time I met a celebrity that I knew in public. He was a real gentleman. I didn't take a photo with him, just meeting him and all was good enough. 12:25, Mike, Ketty was mostly around when the blind school came to be in those later seasons. 28:00 The Lord is my Shepard, Season 1, episode 13. 2-part episode. Mike, thank you so much for being here for the rest of us to see! I was 8 when it aired on TV in 1974. I remember most of the episodes and in fact, I have the entire series on Blu-ray, restored, since about 2017 or so. Love them all. It's too bad the actress Alison Balson who played NANCY in the later episodes could not be there besides Melissa Sue Anderson. Nancy was just as mean as Nellie, if not more. lol Melissa Sue Anderson was in an early '80s horror movie called "Happy Birthday To Me". The first horror movie based solely around that event.

Hester Sue ran the blind school.

I'm your age so I grew up reading the books, and cannot sleep without a nightlight due to the episode where Mary goes blind. So you could say the show messed me up for life *lol*
