Was watching an Andy Griffith episode the other night where the city had an old cannon they were trying to get rid of. In order to sell it quicker, Andy made up the story that it was a cannon that went up San Juan Hill, etc... identical to alot of what Zeb would say. It was funny to see Andy and Zeb connected by that cannon, so to speak!

Zeb and the Rough Riders was the first example I noticed of the timing getting off..... from earlier episodes, John would have been about 5 in 1898 but that's not what Esther says..... can't remember right now exactly what she said but it was either that John was an infant or that she hadn't even told Zeb that she was pregnant when he went off to war.....
Heard just recently somewhere that it wasn't actually San Juan Hill that Teddy rode up -- it was another hill close by....!! WHAT !! (must check that out....)

What's interesting to me is how many Little House episodes seem to be thematic ripoffs of what aired on The Waltons 3-5 years earlier.
I've only seen about a third of Little House, and don't plan to watch any more episodes. Too sappy, Pa Ingalls is always crying, and I don't like Laura Ingalls. If i were Mary, I think I would've tossed Laura down a well.

There was an raised area near San Juan called San Juan Heights by the Cubans. It had two hills, which the Americans named San Juan Hill and Kettle Hill. TR and the Rough Riders actually went up Kettle Hill !!!

My best friend loves Little House on the Prairie. But she can't stand Caroline. She does a great job of acting like Caroline every time Charles came home after being gone for a few days or weeks.
Pay attention to how Caroline comes outside the door, pauses, yells Charles & then starts running to him with her arms in a funny position.
One of the funniest comments I ever read on imdb's discussion board was about Carrie Ingalls. She rarely ever talks in any of the episodes.
She slept in a small bed at the foot of her parents bed. The comment was....that's why she rarely talked because she was so traumatized by seeing her folks have sex. LOL!!

Marilyn, you really should try it...it would be even funnier if he started crying when you hugged him lol!! If my boyfriend or husband cried more than me, that would really bug me. If I was Caroline, I would have rolled my eyes in front of him and shook my head at him every time he cried, although, for as many times as he cried, I would probably have whiplash from doing it!
