Available Episodes 10

We’ve entered the month of December, which means that holiday celebrations are
under way and Little House’s 50 th Anniversary year will soon enter the history books – or
will it? The show premiered in September of 1974, so the Anniversary year rolls on.
More on that to come in later shows.

One of the things we’ll remember about this December 5 episode of the podcast is that
Alison and Dean did it without the support of our very special host, Pamela Bob, who
Zooms in each week from Brooklyn, NY. We missed her and we can tell you today that
Pamela is fine, but we can also say that the reason she wasn’t with us on Thanksgiving
gives us the opportunity to say thanks for her swift return. We’ll leave Pamela to share
the details of her Thanksgiving absence as she chooses.
In the meantime, we are deeply thankful for our Bonnethead family, who allow us to
connect and continue the Little House Love that began with the premiere of Little House
so many years ago.

Today we’re very excited to welcome the children of a man who was there right from
the start of the Little House adventure early in 1974. We are speaking of Victor French,
Little House’s beloved Mr. Edwards. Two of Victor’s three children, Tracy Hall and her
older brother, Victor Allen French (not a Junior, BTW) were in town to take part in
2024’s final Little House on the Prairie tours of Big Sky Movie Ranch on December 1. The
day before the tours Alison and Dean welcomed Tracy and Victor into the studios of
UBNGo in Burbank. It was a wonderful conversation about their unforgettably talented
dad that focused on his portrayal of Isiah Edwards, the transforming power of the role,
his passion for the craft of acting, and his children’s remembrances of Victor as a very
special dad.

We also heard about Victor and Tracy’s commitment to their dad’s creative legacy; they
have a new online store (see below) and are working on the publication of his theories
of acting titled, A Matter of Choice. If you worked with Victor or loved his work on stage
and screen, we think A Matter of Choice is a “must-read.”

For our Patrons we will continue with Tracy and Victor focusing on their gleeful playtime
with their dad that made every day in the French house a kind of laughing, screaming
Halloween adventure. Those of us who worked with Victor can totally relate to his extraordinary ability to make us laugh, cry, or scream as the circumstances evolved
during so many wonderful scenes.

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE HOLIDAYS (Written by Pamela):
Little House on the Prairie is at the heart of what so many are most grateful for, not just
because of the timeless stories it told, but because of the lasting impact it has had on all
of us. The show brought families together, fostering a sense of community and shared
values that transcend generations. It taught us about resilience, love, and the
importance of finding gratitude even in the most challenging times. For many of
us, Little House was more than just entertainment—it was a source of comfort,
inspiration, and connection to a simpler, yet deeply meaningful way of life. It has shaped
how we view family, community, and the world around us, and continues to remind us
to appreciate the little things in life. Today, as we gather with loved ones, let us
remember these values as a country, a community, as human beings.

Thanks. We’ll see you again soon. Little House Forever!

Happy Thanksgiving! The gang couldn’t be more excited to share this special day with you. Today, and every day, we are deeply thankful for supporters like you, our Bonnethead family, who allow us to connect and continue the bond that started with Michael Landon in 1974.

We’re thrilled to welcome Kathi Von Etten, head of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce, who joins us to reflect on her "year of the Prairie" and share exciting news about the final Little House Bus Tour (say it ain’t so!) happening Sunday, December 1, with Dean and Alison as your guides. And for the collectors out there, don’t miss out on the exclusive Simi Valley Festival Little House 50th Anniversary merchandise—it's selling fast! Head over to the Simi Valley website (link also in the show notes) to grab your special edition items before they’re gone.

We felt it was fitting to have today’s guest on Thanksgiving, as we are deeply inspired by her gratitude and grace—Baby Rose Wilder herself, Jennifer Donati. Jennifer shares with us how, at just seven weeks old, she and her twin sister were cast as Baby Rose in Little House on the Prairie. Though she has no memories of that experience, Jennifer was reunited with her Little House family a couple of years ago, and as she says, "life has never been the same." This adult reunion sparked her to finally write the book she had always dreamed of: More Than Just the Prairie. In it, Jennifer opens up about the personal hardships she has faced, including the loss of her twin sister, Sarah, and her beloved mother. Her story is one of resilience, strength, and gratitude, offering a powerful example of overcoming tragedy with grace. Oh, and by the way—she is also a badass!

Continue the conversation with us on Patreon, where gratitude is at the heart of the discussion. This Thanksgiving, Pamela, Dean, Alison, and Jennifer share what they're thankful for, including Alison's story of meeting her newly discovered relatives in Ireland. They also explore how gratitude is the highest vibrational force. With so much to be thankful for, Little House on the Prairie is at the core of many of these blessings. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone—we hope you enjoy this heartfelt segment.

We start today's episode with a recognition of all the supportive and kind feedback we received from last week's episode, "The Elephant In the Room". We love you and appreciate you, Bonnetheads!And speaking of kindness, this was the perfect segway to discuss a beloved member of the Little House family that is no longer with us:  The late, great, Dabbs Greer, who we all know as the kind, gentle, and honest Reverend Alden.Hear first hand stories about Dabbs from Alison and Dean, and hear the answer when Pamela asks the burning question for Bonnetheads everywhere--"what happened to Rev. Alden's wife?!" Although he was on Little House for almost a decade, Dabbs had a long and thriving career--before and after Little House. It is a joy to keep the appreciation and love for Dabbs alive, and we celebrate him today!
And how else to end the episode but answer some of YOUR listener questions?!

Today’s episode addresses the Elephant in the Room:  The recent scandals involving Jack Bishop and his Gravel Road Market events. Dean, Alison, and Pamela felt it necessary to address this out of respect for the fans and everyone involved who have been affected. We discuss the history with Jack Bishop, the status of Little House fan events, the recent happenings involving Jack Bishop’s Gravel Road Market and what were supposed to be cancelled events. Sadly, the cast has had to address further grievances, with more public awareness including an article in People Magazine and a piece on NBC News’s Connecticut affiliate (both linked in the show notes below).  After the shocking mishandling of the Connecticut and Lancaster events, we discuss the impact, the aftermath, how the amazing fans have galvanized, and the hopes for what’s ahead in the Little House events universe (it’s gonna be GREAT!).  On a lighter note, check out our feature in Buzzfeed! Alison and Dean were featured this week in a great interview, which also featured the Podcast! (Link below)  And how else to end the episode but answer some of YOUR listener questions?!
THEN Join us on Patreon, where we get loose and talk about… oh… anything! Pamela discusses her recent experience in a developmental workshop of a new musical in NYC and her upcoming show “Twisted Christmas”, premiering at Green Room 42 in NYC on December 3,5 and 6th.  Alison is coming to us from Paris, where she’s doing tons of shows before she heads to Ireland to do speaking engagements!  And Dean is giving us hints at possible UK/European/Japan Little House events… (What?!

DEAN BUTLER EVENTS
October 4th- Tulsa, OK - Barnes & Noble Southroads
























































It's finally Sweater-Weather season! Alison and Dean recap last week's live screening of "Country Girls" in Simi Valley, where people arrived in full Prairie drag, reminiscent of the Rocky Horror Picture Show... (good idea, am I right?!)  They were joined by this week's guest, who also premiered in "Country Girls"--the incredible Tracie Savage, who played Christy Kennedy in the first 2 seasons of LHOTP. 

Tracie hadn't seen the cast in 48 years until she joined them at the 50th Anniversary festival in Simi Valley this past March! Fun fact: Tracie came from an entertainment family, and was the one child up against Melissa Gilbert for the role of Laura Ingalls. But she isn't bitter -- because she went on to have an incredible career in entertainment, (notably having a great death scene in the infamous Friday the 13rh franchise) and then found her calling in broadcast journalism, landing in Los Angeles, covering history-making stories such as the OJ Simpson trial. Speaking of OJ, Tracie tells a harrowing and riveting story of her experience having had to testify at the trial--and we are shook!  Currently, Tracie is a college professor, where she feels the most gratified. Tracie is seriously awesome, you will love her story--and we are so happy that she a part of the Little House family.
Then, Alison answers some of your listener questions, specifically for Nellie Season 1!


And for more fun, join us on Facebook for the Little House Food Contest!! It's hilarious!
