without her, this show wouldn't have been the same 🤩
So true...
no shit , i agree!
My thoughts exactly 💯
True!! Michael Landon wanted to fired her, but couldn't due to her popularity..
Not to mention Nellie Oleson !
What an outstanding actress. She played the part so well.
Too well. I know it’s acting but I couldn’t stand that character 😂
Unquestionably. I always thought of Nels as the unsung hero of the show for not murdering her. The shows would have been a LOT shorter if he had. Just a lot of people milling around saying things like "It's always the quite ones."
Even in the books nobody could stand her or Nellie
Question for all...I've never watched the series...what age is the best time to see this? Thanks
I agree with you
Richard Bull, the actor who played Nels was a perfect character to play her husband. I loved them both.
I saw an interview with him where he said that when they first met Katherine acted pretty much like Harriet. She tried to tell him what to do with the scenes. He said he finally had to tell her 'look.....you don't direct me and I don't direct YOU!' Once he put his foot down, the got along well during the entire series. Of course, Michael Landon was was an awesome director so they didn't need HER! LOL
Me too.

Because he didn’t put up with Harriet’s BULLshit.
They had great chemistry! The whole cast did. Fantastic show. :)
"Harriet! The switchboard may be yours, but the wire is mine!" (Gasp) "Nels! Oleson!
You come back here! Nels!"
That scene is so funny
She added a pinch of pepper to the sweetness of the show.
Indeed. She had good acting chops, albeit originally for stage, but Allison said she often gave a lot of unsolicited acting advice.
Good way to put it! ☺️👍❤️
And a gallon of vinegar! 😂
Ellen Corby, as Grandma, served that same purpose on The Waltons, although I don't think she was the comedienne Katherine MacGregor was. Creator Earl Hamner originally told Corby that her portrayal of Grandma was too harsh and unlike his own grandmother, and she replied that the show was full of "sweet" characters, and that it needed a bit of "tartness" to prevent it from becoming too saccharine. I do think it is a valid point.
@@yooneeque1 As someone who has diabetes, I appreciate Ellen Corby's concern about too much sweetness!
Kudos to Nels for keeping his cool and keeping his marriage.
I think he did leave her once, but returned
@@jennifer_m.8613
Yup he even cheated on her by kissing another woman, but eventually returned to Harriet.
Him and Ike on the Walton's had to be the two most patient TV husbands to ever exist. At least Cora beth would redeem herself by the end of a episode where Harriet seldom did.Both played wonderful bitches though.
@@tom11zz884which season ?
He did let her have it from time to time, and I loved it.
Mrs. Oleson , the original Karen..................lol
Alex, you're too much! 😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂
You know guys, in reality, the REAL Mrs. Oleson who's name was actually 'Owens' (but was changed for the book by Wilder) was the exact opposite of Harriet. She was a nice, good, kind, sweet and forgiving woman. Because her daughter Nellie was so mean, Michael Landon and the writers had Harriet's personality written to more match Nellie's so the audience would believe she was the Oleson's daughter. They thought if both Nels and Harriet were good people, from where would Nellie get al her meanness?
🙌🙌🙌☠️☠️☠️🤣🤣🤣
@@retroguy9494 Caroline said in a interview the first time she meet Catherine They became best friends in real life she the nicest person she ever met
One of my favorite moments with her was when she shouted on the phone, "WALNUT GROVE!"😂
And the guy flew off the latter. 😂😂😂😂
The episode where Nellie marries Luke is absolutely hilarious. One of my favorite. I laugh from beginning to end
"Make her a widow" oh that episode was one of my favorites especially when she's on the back of the horse holding a shotgun
I just watched it yesterday, “Nells! Get the shotgun!!!!” “Nells! Make her a widow!!!!” Best part
@Rubyanne yes! Classic 😂
It was hilarious, but Katherine MacGregor badly injured her back when she fell off the horse - in the scene where she and Mr. Oleson were headed to Sleepy Eye to try to intercept Nellie and Luke.
@yooneeque1 it was the actress who played Mrs Foster who took her place
Katherine MacGregor played the roll of Mrs. Oleson to the hilt! She blossomed the role into the funniest character that would repeatedly steal every single scene she was in.
❤
I loved it when she called Almanzo Zaldamo. 😂
🤣🤣
She never did get his name right...
I love when Laura cooked, & added the cayenne pepper to Nellie pretend cooking for almanzo (manly)
@@evelynbeveraggi8724 Allison Arngrim said there was no actual pepper on the chicken but she likes spicy food, so she would actually have enjoyed it if there was pepper.
Also, if you watch closely, you'll see that she just keeps chugging that glass of water. Michael Landon kept filling it up & telling her to keep drinking & don't stop.
In the episode where Laura adds pepper to the chicken, you can hear Harriet flub her line in the kitchen. She mistakenly starts to pronounce Almanzo's name correctly, then stops and mispronounced it. You can see Caroline trying hard not to laugh.
Katherine MacGregor and Richard Bull were just PERFECT as the Olson's!
"Ohhh For Heavvvvven's Sake!!!" I love her acting!
I loved it when she would run and scream NEEEEEEEEELLLLLLS! 🤣
Omg this was hilarious! She was so perfect playing Mrs Olsen 🤣🤣🤣
she should had to deal with getting knocked up...
Katherine MacGregor was marvelous in this role and a versatile, brilliant actress. And I don’t use that term lightly. Watch her in the early episodes where Harriet is sinister. Completely convincing. And she’s just as great later on when they make Harriet into the comic relief. She also nicely pulls off Harriet’s serious moments, such as when her old boyfriend, a minister, visits.
I think she had several boyfriends and they all ran the other way, then Nels came along.
She really was and so memorable.
Because Katherine was a comedian and she suggested that they put comedy into the role.
Im 40. ive watched a million shows by now. Mrs Oleson is probably one of the most memorable characters ive ever seen.
Mrs Olson was my my absolute favorite in this show. May she rest in peace.
She was an incredible actress! Great show!
I didn't watch this show much, but I remember the scene with the vapors - she played that scene well - the doctor saying "GAS" was hilarious!
I wanted him to say, is called 'farting' so bad! If only...
She was perfect in that role. Such a brilliant actress.
I agree. She's terrific
when I was young, I was so scared of her due to my high sensitivity. Today I can smile at it :-), she is really a great actress
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better and simple thing can make you happy, i hope my simple "Hello" bring smile on your face 😊
The Luke episode is the funniest one ever!
"Nels, Make her a Widow!"
Oh yeah! That's a hilarious episode! Mrs.Olson: (mutters to herself.)A pig farmer! Ohhhhh!!!! So funny!😆😆
We all have our ambitions in life Nellie, And mine is not to see you become the Minnesota pig queen!!!!! Nellie: screams and runs upstairs! Lol! 😆
@@bonnieriffle8371 she was the first definition of a Karen
Yep! 😄
@@bonnieriffle8371 is the actress who played her still alive
Her comedy timing was brilliant!
When Mrs. Olsen says OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES is one on of my favorite line same with OOOH SHUT_UP 😂😂
I crack up every time I see and hear her say them lines! 🤣
You're right, HER saying THAT is not only Classic, is a defining soundbite for that personality stereotype.
Funny how people who play bad or annoying characters are very nice in real life. Melissa Gilbert said that Katherine MacGregor was like a mom on the set and was nice to everyone. Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie was super nice but Melissa Sue Anderson was a total snob on the show and jealous that Melissa Gilbert was the star and got all the attention.
it's too bad that people picked on Allison Arngrim so much. Allison said adults used to yell at her because of how Nellie was to Laura.
I concur. It was Karen "Ma Ingalls" Grassle who proclaimed Katherine MacGregor as her No.1 friend on the show, and their friendship went on until MacGregor's death. Karen herself described Katherine as a big sister and many times a second mother. She really helped her through some really dark times in her life on set and off.
Onset it was Michael Landon and his politicking which is akin to Hulk Hogan in WCW. Offset Karen was sadly in a losing battle with alcoholism and drug addiction for much of the show's run. She helped get clean, sober, and tobacco free by 1978. It just comes to show that many times than not the people who play the most deplorable people on camera are almost if not the exact opposite in real life.
Katherine was a very nice person, she played the character very well. I think Melissa Sue Anderson is just misunderstood. She's an introvert and most of the cast are friendly and extroverted even if she really was mean on set. It's not a surprise. A lot of that happening in Hollywood. Lots of jealousy.
@@markhaddox7220 it's a different show of course but another example of stars that played the most deplorable people who were the greatest people in real life was Larry Linville who played Major Frank Burns on M*A*S*H. Every one of the cast members who worked on that show and who worked with him have all said that he was just about the nicest person who worked in the entire MASH genre.
Another thing to consider is that some actors and actresses who play both good and bad guy roles are actually not so great people in real life. Some are even notorious for letting their true nasty and horrible selves bleed into the bad guy characters they portray which can create a toxic environment for other cast members and crew.
I love it! I grew up with the show and it is funny and has life teachings!
Me too. One of my very favorites.
Me too!
I love she had her own melody whenever she was coming out of the screen!
Katherine Macgregor's Harriet Oleson, was the comic relief, for LHOTP. She certainly made Little House worth watching
Love this show!!!! Wouldn't be the same without Harriet "}
No it wouldn't of, She was a great actress!
She acts just like my great grandma
But that was a problem with Mrs. Olsen she wanted people to do things for her.
@@patriciacardwell2587 Good God I feel sorry for you! Lol 😆
Every show needs a character that everyone loves to hate
Can't believe she didn't win any awards for this
LOL! I never seen a fly swatter with the swatter floppy like that! Harriett, Nellie and Nancy were the best villains on television. It was fun to watch their crooked schemes backfire on them. And Willie was also perfection as the attempt-to-be-bad kid brother.
That was a fly flapper. Lol
It was the 1900s so that’s probably all they had in those days. lol
The vapors scene is basically Harriet in a nutshell.
The way Harriet thank and hug Nels for the new toilet shows how she is such an affectionate woman
My favorite parts of the show were when Harriet was affectionate to Nels. It was a perfect contrast to her sinister side. 😊
Yes and don't forget the time Mary had to go to the hospital for a live saving operation. Harriet was right at the front of the donation line, replete with a smile for Charles. She had her good side and she was usually the biggest victim of her petty squabbles, except for Nels who could clearly take care of himself.
affectionate when things go her way - when she pulls the chain she gets a perfect response.
🥰 I loved it when Harriet and Nels were affectionate with each other. I love that despite how they fight a lot, they can still make each other smile, laugh, be silly, and have their moments showing they truly love each other.
@@stephaniegormley9982
She was always the first to donate when there was a crisis in Walnut Grove concerning the children.
And lets not forget how many times she allowed the Ingalls to get by on credit on things.
And i'm sure those debts were never repaid.
I always loved her character...she was funny when she was bad...but she did have soft moments in several episodes 😎
It really turned Harriet into a real person. She had depth. I made you
remember that, as fun as it was too see her get her comeuppance, we still didn't want to see people be mean to her. You still cared for Harriet.
Indeed. Katherine played her perfectly!
She made this show. To this day I love and adore the Oleson family. All of them. They could have had a spin-off and it would of worked with them. Harriett was so funny and I’m surprised she never won an Emmy. “Nellie darling” and “for heavens sake Nels”. Love her.
So true, sometimes it's not the lead character of a TV show 📺 that makes it funny & entertaining. Mrs. Olsen took it to another level just like Dr. Smith from "Lost in Space" & Boss Hoss in The "Dukes of Hassard", odd characters. 🤔
The scene where Harriet gets caught in the drapes in front of the restaurant 8:45 is simply PRICELESS. As Katherine McGregor stated it herself during an interview, Mrs Oleson is a "foolish woman"
And that is when the actors know the difference between their own character and the role they are ‘paid’ to play 😉
Her favorite quote about this role:
“I was the pepper in a sugary show…I loved it.”❤
Gosh, I love Mrs. Olsen. What a great show!
She was a great actress...RIP Katherine MacGregor
GAS! 😂🤣 I remember watching that when it first aired when I was a little boy and I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes! LOL The same when she sat on the toilet and pulled the flush chain! 😂
I LOVE Mrs. Oleson! Growing up we had a neighbor up the street who reminded me of her! Her demeanor and always bragging about her children!
I wish with the "Luke" episode Cozi would have shown the Oleson's riding on that horse with Harriet carrying the shotgun when she thinks Nellie and Luke eloped! That was hysterical!
Oh my gosh, I miss her. She played the part so well!!! I lost count of how many times she made me laugh.
She played such a good snob on that show. I hated her, but loved her!
When she pulled the commode cord n all water down the steps i crapped laffing loved it😊
One of the few villains that is more lovable than sinister 😂
Best comedic actress of all time and her charachter Mrs Olson still entertains today!
She’s is my favorite character from little house on the prairie. Wonderful actress and she was perfect to play Harriet.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better and simple thing can make you happy, i hope my simple "Hello" bring smile on your face 😊
Harriet is the best. So mean and haughty and hot-headed. So relatable. I love this character.
Comedy gold. These are all funny, but the third one with Dr. Baker was my favorite. 🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE this show more today than when I was a kid ❤
This WHOLESOME show is just PRICELESS! It has an awesome blend of elements-- Serious, Humorous, and Sentimental.
And, Harriet Oleson is my absolute favorite ❤
THE VAPORS 😂😂😂😂😂
You mean,THE VAPOR S, the band from the 1980s lol
Love Catherine McGregor the perfect role for her
No one was ever better at a role like this!!! She will be dearly missed!
Katherine was one of the best actresses I have ever came across. I'm surprised she didn't get enough big roles in films and on television.
I am surprised she wasn't nominated for her performance on the show. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 pfft,,,
she was difficult to work with. always butting heads with writers and directors. but talented for sure.
The best show ever made!! Katherine made the show w/ her craziness😂💥!! She was amazing actress!! They all were! Watched this show so much, I know the lines!( LoL)
One of my favorite show when I was growing up. Mrs Olson and Nellie annoyed me so much. These clips brought back memories. 😂 Mr. Olson was a saint to deal with them.
The Ingalls were my favorite family. ❤
I loved this show when I was young, and now, I record the reruns to watch on rainy days. It's one of the best wholesome shows they had on TV and brings back great memories.
These clips were hysterical. Thanks!
What I loved most about this show, there was always a great moral story behind every episode to be learned, and praising God, putting their trust in him, a God-fearing town.
It was such a bummer to me when I found out about Michael Landon and how he mistreated Karen Grassle, who played his wife, Carolyn, not paying her enough money for her part, and she felt trapped being on the show, and the show would be nothing without her. She couldn't walk off the set and leave the show.
I watched all her interviews, read her book, and what she said about the hard times he gave her and a few other actors, and it's hard to imagine him being like this, seeing he was such an icon.
*The show wouldn't be the same without the great actors they had on it, especially Karen Grassele's role as Caroline.*
I agree. I just read the book, but I wish I had not. I would have preferred just having my happy memories, without the backstory. Because it was awful for both actresses behind the scenes.
But in the books Ma wasn’t really involved and Harriet was a added character on the show. But after reading her book I realized just how awesome these actresses were. Especially since Karen was nothing like Ma.
I know! I can't imagine Michael Landon being this kind of person but I guess people can fool you! I feel so bad for Karen Grassle and for the other actors that had to deal with this kind of treatment, it wasn't right!
She was the best part of the show!!
Michael Landon struck gold when he cast Katherine macgregor as Harriet Olsen. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 she's probably dead by now
@@mehchocolate1257 Katherine macgregor, who played Mrs. Oleson passed away on November 13, 2018 at 93 years of age. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 I kind of figured that that she had passed away
@@harperstacey9604 pfft
Love this show soo much! ❤
The olesons are my favorite characters from the show. I recently started watching the reruns. They are hilarious especially Mrs Oleson. Love her lol.
I loved this so much! More Little House please ;)
Yes please more more lhotp!!!
What an amazing actress, she played the part perfectly!
This was a delight from start to finish. She's the best!
cant say anything else than , loved the whole entire serie all the chars , superb tv show , Mrs Olsen reminds me of my own mother in many many ways , both in the face and things she did . Katherine playes her brilliant , may the actors who have passed rest in peace , regards from sweden .
My dear Katherine MacGregor. What an absolutely delightful character you put into Mrs Harriet Oleson. You and the Oleson family brought great family entertainment with every appearance.
She has her own 'theme song'. That 'waddling' tune!
She truly was a classic character who played the part of mrs Olson very well.she will be missed.
The character played itself?
Died at age 93.... a long life....
Im stillwatching re runs!!
Classic! Same mentality still exists today🤔
Mrs Olseon (and Nellie and Willie) was definitely the true comic relief to this otherwise dark and emotional show
I will always remember her speech to Nancy when she tried to convince her to be adopted. She talked about Nelly showing she knew what was really good and evil in her daughter, so in life too.
I felt Nancy was worse then Nellie.
She had such comedic talent. Made the show
It is so ironic that Katherine was most generous and was not pretentious at all.
Not if you read Alison Arngrim's memoir "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch." She said that 'she was not actually Mrs. Oleson incarnate, but my God, she was close.' However did DID say that Katherine, unlike Mrs. Oleson, was not prejudice.
@@retroguy9494 I was going off of an interview that Melissa Gilbert gave.
My favorite episodes are the ones where Mrs. Olsen gets her bloomers in a knot
You must have a whole bunch of favorite eps then. She had a real knack for doing that.
This show is SO underrated
She was so hilarious. REST IN PEACE QUEEN ❤ BRAVO 👏🏻
8:49 -- I know Mrs. Olesen was really excited about opening the new restaurant but she didn't need to get so wrapped up over it! :D
Thanks for putting these scenes up. Love them. 😀😄😅
Love this show & always will! Great childhood memories watching with my brother & mom. ☺️
Same!
“U boiled my head!” 🤣💕
She is so funny, and brought a lot of humor on the show:) "Walnut Grove"
She was a fantastic actress. I really liked seeing her on the show.
And her very patient husband.
Nels oleson was a henpecked husband. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
An incredible actress and comedian.
The fact that this video even exists is amazing!
She is the best! 💕
I don’t know why this was in my feed but I pounced this is awesome
Her character is so wonderfully hilarious! 😂👌
She was one of my favorite characters on LHOTP! MORE!!!!
This was great thank you for putting this together more please more encore encore
She was a narcissist before there were narcissists. A trail blazer.
She's a Karen in my eyes
5 hours on Sunday is fine with me ♥️
The schedule was much better when there were three episodes a day, Monday thru Friday on cozi TV. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
@@harperstacey9604 Absolutely.
@@veraevans6387 Little House on the prairie was one of the best TV shows on television 📺. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Absolutely luv them both really help put the show together
I loved the one where Nellie was faking like she was crippled and in a wheelchair, until Laura peeped her through the window doing the Macarena, so to get even, sbe pushed Nellie down this big ass hill and she rolled into tbe creek splashass right in front of Mrs. Olson.
One of the main scenes that i and many others remember from the show. lol
Um.....you KNOW the Macarena didn't exist in the 1870's, right?
The macarena? What?! 😂😂
@@retroguy9494I'm laughing so hard just picturing her or any other LHOTP character doing the macarena though 🤣
@@hannahroberts673 LOL 😂
Here is an image you can picture in your mind Hannah. Pa in the little house playing his fiddle and Ma and the girls dancing the Macarena to his song! 😜
my childhood happy memories have been brought back.Thank you so much for this video. My sister and would rush back from school Little House On The prarie would start at 4.30pm. Loved Mrs Oleson funnily enough our local shop keeper was much like her
The one & only - Loved her !
I always loved when she gave it to Nellie! lol. She usually thought Nellie could do no wrong, but when she realized she did, she didn’t always let her get away with it! :)
Katherine MacGregor played Mrs. Olsen to the HILT!
That woman could act….well trained, charismatic, and focused. Pure talent!!
She was simply extraordinary,...so theatrical!
I remember that at first i couldnt stand this character until a friend pointed out to me how comical she was. Great actrrss.
I loved it when she dunked Nancy in the booth 😂
Despite of her snobby, I love her. She was funny.
