I was *so* shocked when I read the books to see how different the TV show was! How they only really lived in Walnut Grove (with Nellie!) for a short while, especially. (Whatever happened to Carrie on the TV show anyway? And Grace? They're like Richie Cunningham's brother vanishing into thin air on Happy Days!)
I never watched the show because it was so far from Laura's life. Pa clean shaven? Whatever. When he did the show in De Smet, they freaked out when they thought he shaved!
And, the show missed the boat with Nellie as well. Nellie Oleson, while the real name of one of the bullies who teased Laura, was in fact, in the books, based on THREE young ladies that didn't like Laura, not one.
