“Little-Known Bloopers and Mistakes in Little House on the Prairie”
The beloved classic “Little House on the Prairie” is renowned for its timeless charm, wholesome stories, and adventurous spirit. However, it wasn’t without its fair share of slip-ups that keen-eyed viewers have noticed over the years.
Laura’s Mystic Pregnancy
In season seven, Laura announced her pregnancy during a blooming, warm season on the prairie. But when the next summer arrived, she was still pregnant, leaving fans puzzled about the length of this prairie pregnancy. It seemed like there was a disconnect between the writers and the production team, indicating sloppy story management.
Nellie Oleson’s Wig
We all remember Nellie Oleson, the troublemaker played by Alison Arngrim. Her role was expanded compared to the original books due to viewers’ love-hate relationship with the character. Nellie’s iconic blonde curls were achieved through an arduous process. Initially, Alison Arngrim’s hair was curled using an old-fashioned oven-heated curling iron, which was painful and time-consuming. Eventually, a wig was used, and it was secured with a large metal comb and numerous long, straight metal hairpins.
