Trivia
After MGM acquired the show from Paramount, the crew tore up old sets that were used for MGM productions to make room for the new sets that were needed for the show. When Michael Landon removed flooring from one of the old sets, he uncovered the Yellow Brick Road from The Wizard of Oz (1939), which was still intact. Melissa Gilbert and the other kids got extremely excited when they recognised it.

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!

My favorite of many outstanding episodes

I enjoy this series (I faithfully watch the reruns) for the same reasons millions of others do; the story lines that provide valuable lessons in life and the outstanding performances by regulars and guests. I would like to let readers know my all time favorite episode. It's the one titled "The Man Inside". This is the one about the fat man who decides to "leave" so his daughter will no longer have to be embarrassedd by him. Later, the children in the blind school open her eyes and help her realize what a great father he is.
