The Older Brothers

This episode was so dumb and I could not wait for it to be over. I was so bored.

"so, we have a quota of episodes to fill these season, what shall we do now? We had just nearly drowned Jenny, we are about to return a drug addicted Albert en kill off Laura and Almanzo's second baby. Lets do something funny, but what? " "hay, did you ever see Laurel and Hardy's way ot west? Lets do a slapstick Western-episode" And lo and behold Michael Landon rewrote one of his old bonanzo scripts and came up with terrible story. What worked for Laurel and Hardy does not work for Little house in the prairie. Not funny. Same joke as three episodes ago, John and Almazo in jail for the wrong reason. Even 1 stunt is clearly seen done. When the brothers want to turn themselves in an blow the door up, you can clearly see a rope jank Geoffrey Lewis or his stunt-double. No this was a clear misser.

This is the worst episode I think I've ever seen. Sheer stupidity. If it was ripped off from Bonanza that must have been one of the most unfunny episodes too. Dumb characters on Little House aren't even near funny.

I can't believe Michael Landon wrote this episode. The "comedy " is forced. More stupid than funny.

Can't believe people think this episode is terrible and boring. It's everything but that! This is one of the most legendary episodes of little house on the prairie and it is definitely the most legendary episode from the last dreadful season. The acting and the humor is on point. The plot and storyline are genius! The characters are iconic and it is most definitely entertaining. Victor French definitely makes the best episodes in little house on the prairie. I remember way back from my childhood watching this episode and loving every moment from it.

If you don't like or enjoy this episode than you have no sense of humor and there is no joy inside of you.
