- 2:24Speaker 2: This is our The O Sage got just shaft at

- 3:23Speaker 2: Because he can't work for I'm not gonna work for anybody,
- 3:27Speaker 2: and so he just ends up not working mostly.
- 3:29Speaker 1: But but if if you loved these books as I
- 3:33Speaker 1: did when I was, I think you will enjoy this
- 3:36Speaker 1: very much.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I guess it's very well done.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Really good actors, beautiful cinematography.
- 3:44Speaker 2: It's filmed in Canada. Uh, it's supposed to be the
- 3:47Speaker 2: mid you know the planes.
- 3:48Speaker 1: But like, if you're a purist like me, like the
- 3:52Speaker 1: horses names are Pet and Patty as they should be
- 3:56Speaker 1: in the original seventies TV show, you know, Laura had
- 4:00Speaker 1: a horse named Bunny. That's not their horse's name. The
- 4:04Speaker 1: Pet and Patty are their horses.
- 4:06Speaker 2: And how come in the original TV show with Michael landon,
- 4:09Speaker 2: their clothes never got dirty.
- 4:12Speaker 4: They looked pretty dirty there.
- 4:17Speaker 3: He's just been working, but mainly they didn't.
- 4:21Speaker 1: But I did have one quibble. So the Christmas episode
- 4:25Speaker 1: spoiler alert, the Christmas episode.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Spoil it for me. Yeah.
- 4:31Speaker 1: In the book, mister Edwards shows up on Christmas. He's
- 4:36Speaker 1: like a friend.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Okay, mister Edwards.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Shows like somebody who owed money to.
- 4:42Speaker 1: I mean the Power Buddies, and mister Edwards showed up
- 4:46Speaker 1: with gifts for the girls. Now, in the book, the
- 4:49Speaker 1: gifts he brought were he brought them their own tin
- 4:52Speaker 1: cup because they only had one cup that they all
- 4:55Speaker 1: had to share, and when you wanted to drink water,
- 4:58Speaker 1: you had to wait your turn.
- 4:59Speaker 2: For the well, we have a cup schedule yeah, that
- 5:02Speaker 2: was the way it was when I was growing up.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But mister Edwards brought the girls each their own cups,
- 5:09Speaker 1: so they that's in the book. So I'm watching the
- 5:12Speaker 1: Christmas episode and here comes mister Edwards and I'm like, oh,
- 5:15Speaker 1: this is where he gets.
- 5:16Speaker 4: He brings him the cup.
- 5:17Speaker 1: No, he gave him like a little jewelry box or something.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I'm like, how hard would it be to give him
- 5:22Speaker 1: a cup?
- 5:23Speaker 4: I thought you were gonna say oranges?
- 5:24Speaker 2: You know, did they did they have? Do they address
- 5:30Speaker 2: the fact that they have only one cover? So then what.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Because that would show you how hard it is on
- 5:38Speaker 1: the prairie if.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Mister if mister Edwards had been reading the book, he
- 5:42Speaker 2: would have known. But he didn't, and they didn't ever
- 5:45Speaker 2: mention it if he was watching the show, they didn't.
- 5:47Speaker 1: I was so disappointed because I got excited. When you
- 5:49Speaker 1: hear the knock on Christmas Day, I'm like, oh, that's.
- 5:52Speaker 4: The cups, comes the cups.
- 5:55Speaker 2: No.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Nicole wants to know about the Nelly Olsen such a okay, So.
- 6:03Speaker 3: Nellie Olsen was in the original was the villain.
- 6:05Speaker 4: He was the bad girl.
- 6:06Speaker 1: She was the mean girl. Now there are mean girls
- 6:09Speaker 1: in this they're not Nelly Olsen. However, two things. Uh,
- 6:15Speaker 1: the actress who played Nelly Olsen has a surprise cameo
- 6:19Speaker 1: in this or she also plays a scary bad girl.
- 6:22Speaker 3: She comes in and kicks people in the so so.
- 6:25Speaker 1: You got to look for old Nelly Olsen playing a
- 6:28Speaker 1: different character. But I did read today they have obviously
- 6:32Speaker 1: renewed this because it's doing great. It's doing very well
- 6:36Speaker 1: now apparently the character of Nellie Olsen will be in
- 6:38Speaker 1: the next season.
- 6:40Speaker 4: So very excited about that. Okay, so there are you going, Nicole.
- 6:44Speaker 3: So how many episodes are there of this?
- 6:46Speaker 1: I think eight, eight or nine.
- 6:49Speaker 3: And you've already watched them all?
- 6:51Speaker 4: Yes, she binged them because because Joe was up on
- 6:54Speaker 4: the farm.
- 6:55Speaker 1: He was doing actual farming.
- 6:58Speaker 4: He was doing Michael Lannon.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Up there, not getting dirty.
- 7:04Speaker 4: He gets dirty. See I told you, yeah.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Thank you, because I was a little I was a
- 7:09Speaker 1: little now. Megan Kelly, when she heard this was coming out,
- 7:13Speaker 1: she was all upset, saying.
- 7:14Speaker 3: It's gonna be They're gonna wocify.
- 7:16Speaker 1: It, and and and Melissa Gilbert, who was the original Laura.
- 7:23Speaker 1: She said again the same things you've said about Star Trek,
- 7:27Speaker 1: like will you go back and watch old episode.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Pretty well, they're pretty woke.
- 7:36Speaker 1: They tackled racism.
- 7:37Speaker 2: These do these have a do these have a moral
- 7:41Speaker 2: conclusion to each episode?
- 7:43Speaker 3: This is what we learned from No.
- 7:45Speaker 1: No, like the old series, it's it's I mean they
- 7:48Speaker 1: they sugarcoat a lot of stuff, but it's but it's
- 7:52Speaker 1: it's more realistic than the original version. I think I enjoy.
- 7:56Speaker 1: If you like the original one, I say, give this
- 7:58Speaker 1: one a chance.
- 7:59Speaker 4: In other words, show me what you got.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Does this does this make you? See?
- 8:05Speaker 2: I think it would make me not like the original
- 8:07Speaker 2: one if I had liked it, then I see this,
- 8:09Speaker 2: I said, Oh, now they're.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Doing it the way they should have done.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Oh it's all, it's all good. I'm that I'm that
- 8:14Speaker 4: way with Battlestar Galactica.
- 8:15Speaker 1: No, it's all.
- 8:16Speaker 4: This new one is much more better.
- 8:19Speaker 1: It's a different show.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a better show.
