It has often been mooted that "little house" was gentle nice series which did not raise any questions .Actually these remarkable series,my all-time favorite ,broached child abuse,drugs ,religious fanatism,rape,racism,suicide...not exactly a rosy world.
"May we make them proud" is one of the most dramatic episodes in the whole series;two characters die ,one character feels guilty and another one goes crazy.No happy end ,the last pictures depicting a gathering around two graves,no comic relief (it's the only episode where Harriet Oleson appears and where she does not make the audience laugh).
After watching this episode ,Jack Lee Thompson offered Melissa Sue Anderson the leading part of "Happy birthday" .
