First up, we dive into the exciting news that Netflix has officially greenlit a new Little House on the Prairie series. But before you panic—relax! It’s not a reboot. Dean, Alison, and Pamela break down what this means, why it’s great news, and what we may expect.

Then...We revisit a Season 1 classic: Mr. Edwards’ Homecoming! These are the early days on the Prairie, and this episode is a standout in establishing the heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) relationships between our beloved characters. This marks the first appearance of Mr. Edwards, and Victor French delivers a masterclass in acting—showcasing every layer of this complex, rugged-yet-tender character.Ever wonder how quickly Little House went from a pilot to a full series? Spoiler: it happened in record time! Plus, we break down Chesty Charles’ peak “Pa” energy in his interactions with Mr. Edwards—proving that strength and vulnerability can go hand in hand.And, of course, we tackle the big questions:

• Why is Bonnie Bartlett’s Widow Grace giving major “town Karen” vibes?
• Is this the very first instance of bedroom popcorn in the series?
• And how does The Sure Thing with John Cusack complete Dean’s full-circle Prairie moment?

Join us for all this and more as we celebrate another unforgettable trip back to Walnut Grove!
