When I am working from home, I tend to watch the daily Little House on the Prairie rerun and usually I've seen the episode at least 10 or 15 times before. I still love it and frequently even cry while watching (earlier this week, the 2 episode arc of James (played by little Jason Bateman!) and Cassandra's parents dying and then going to live with the Ingall's was on and I cried like a baby).
Well, today I turned it on and saw an episode I've never seen before - and it was CRAZY!! I missed the first 10 minutes or so, so I'm not sure how it started, but what I saw was so completely awesome, I had to share it.
As I turned it on, Almanzo and John Carter (the hot neighbor with the 2 boys, one of whom is little blond Jason Carter) are on some kind of vacation in Minneapolis or Sleepy Eye. They walk up to a Japanese bath house and have this weird exchange with the proprieter - then proceed to get naked (!) and step into an indoor bath. Then, 2 Japanese women come in and try to scrub them in the tub, which totally freaks them out. They ask the women to stop scrubbing them and then this giant sumo guy comes in with 3 smaller Japanese guys, who all get naked and come into the bath. The women start scrubbing these other men who are writhing around and loving it.
Seriously, this was the raciest scene I have ever seen on Little House - but the awesomeness doesn't stop there. Almanzo and Jeb are walking around the next day and this little old lady asks for help crossing the street - they help her out by causing this big scene to stop traffic and walking her across. Of course, she pickpockets Almanzo and when they try to get the wallet back she totally manipulates the situation and gets them arrested.
Back in Walnut Grove, a hot new preacher comes to town (!) which makes Reverend Alden and Mr. Edwards kind of freak out - I'm not sure exactly why though. Anyway, Hot New Preacher is actually in town to present Rev. Alden with a new house, so he asks Laura and John Carter's wife to help him get the house ready. Of course, Mr. Edwards thinks the HNP is totally sexing up the ladies and spies on them, eventually running up and punching out HNP. In fact, Edwards thinks HNP has cast a spell (!) on Laura and Mrs. Carter in order to make them have sex with them - he goes to Doc Baker to find out if this is possible.
Anyway, ultimately Almanzo and John have to stowaway on a train to get home (they must have been in Minneapolis) and Rev. Alden gets his new house, which he loves, and all ends well.
This new Little House episode was such an awesome Valentine's Day gift - I got such a kick out of it. I wonder if there are others that I haven't seen! A girl can only hope...

That episode sounds awesome. I also love Little House and cry like a baby everytime I watch it. Tokyo Rose says she loves that episode too. Happy Valentine's everyone!
I haven't seen that episode either. WOW. I want to see it now! Little House is the best show that has ever been on Television. It is always an emotional ride.
How could we all have missed that episode! One thing's for sure! If you had seen it you would certainly remember it. I wonder if one can get this series on DVD through Netflix? I'll have to give it a try.
I totally remember that episode and I believe that they were in San Francisco at some convention-in that Japanese hotel with geisha? girls and all-I also remember thinking-Oh my gosh! Are they going to do it!-and then thinking-oooh are those other guys going to loose it in the water with each other. It is a really sexy episode...full of intrigue and temptation. What was Michael Landon going through at the time? I also recently heard that Nellie was being sexually abused during the years that she was on LH by some family member-now I feel so bad for her having to be this snotty bratty kid that everyone hated and she was being all used and abused...poor girl. I hope she is happier now.
day by day--- sounds like someone's been a-smokin' the hotgrass.
this epiosode cannot be for reals.
i will not belive it until i see it myself.
may be this was at a cornerstone in television when ratings were harder and harder to come by!
