3. And she did NOT have a brother
That pissed me off when they added him as a character on the TV show.

7. And her sister Mary never married

and in fact died within a few years of their mother's death, probably out of emotional loss.

Hey, get a literary license ...

4. You know what always bugged me about it...
they didn't have enough scenes showing Michael Landon getting his ass kicked.

I could watch him getting beat up again and again.

8. I refused to watch the show
after I read an interview with Michael Landon where he said he would not let his own kids watch TV. I thought that was so hypocritical that I quit watching HIM on TV.

9. What bugged me was the episode where Laura
ran away to the mountains. They lived in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, trust me there are no mountains between here and the Rockies - I don't think Laura would have made it that far.
