Story: Too handsome for overalls? #2 - Little House on the Prairie

 

Season 8 of LHOTP has just been finished on German TV. Very good plots, but some are very dramatic. As said, there are few bibs scenes in seasons 7-9 and I prefer the earlier seasons. 

The most handsome boy actor (besides maybe some guest stars) is freckled young Jason Bateman as 11/12 yo adopted James Cooper Ingalls (pictured in s7e22, I think the only episode of him in bibs). Sitting (but just this scene with his arm over his lap, 3 standing scenes front and walking rear view).

This time, I missed that episode on TV and I already had a post (rating 5), I didn't remember him in bibs. Unfortunatley rather few scenes and simple beige bibs. Yesterday, I have rechecked it (luckily I found the full episode, Polish title and dubbed). I still have to re-check s7e21.

I think most real farm kids/boys in the 1890s, 1900s and during the Great Depression aren't very handsome. The props and costumes might be quite realistic but I think they forgot the hair. There was no electricity (at all or in most homes) and so no electric hair dryers to reach these floppy hairstyles. On the other hand, nobody would watch a series with just ugly actors. Actors with dark and curly hair are often not (show as) handsome or smart (like Willy). Most girls have dark hair as well (except notably Nelly) and pigtails and dresses.

I also have re-uploaded the 1st pic of the original story showing Tom in s4e9 of The Waltons (rating 10 for him). There was only a rear view left in that post.
