    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to Alison Arngrim's autobiography "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch," Katherine MacGregor was a nice person, but a disruptive element on set. She would argue with the directors and try to give other actors and actresses direction. Even her onscreen husband, Richard Bull, had to put his foot down about it. Michael Landon seriously considered firing her, but her performance as the show's villain was just too perfect to let her go.
    • Goofs
      After 'Nellie's' restaurant is renamed 'Caroline's', the name in the window goes back and forth between the two in subsequent episodes.
    • Quotes
      • Mrs. Oleson: [to her husband, who is holding a shotgun, when they catch daughter Nellie with her new husband] Nels - make her a WIDOW!

      Featured in The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson: Michael Landon/Carl Reiner/Joanna Cassidy/Gloria Loring (1974)
