The best in the tv show was anytime Nellie and Laura got in a fight and Laura kicked her ass<br /><br />Oh man, the tv Nellie's mom (Harriet, I think was her name), she was AWESOME!! Such a bitch but that woman would have walked over molten lava for Nellie...or probably would have made her husband do it lol<br /><br />I had no idea Alison Angram wrote a book until I googled for the pic in this post...I HAVE to buy that!!Maple Syrup Landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997372818270810319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477198994482578956.post-31865659885272087772013-03-18T18:40:12.084-07:002013-03-18T18:40:12.084-07:00I suppose they had to bring a Nellie 2.0 character...I suppose they had to bring a Nellie 2.0 character once Nellie fell in love with Percival and turned into a normal human being. Nancy was fairly horrible, but she never hit the same level of uber-bitch as Nellie<br /><br />I always thought Mary was bland and annoying as hell until she went blind...she was so perfect (even more so in the books), it was almost a little puke-worthyMaple Syrup Landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997372818270810319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477198994482578956.post-17600070014711624692013-03-18T17:30:19.495-07:002013-03-18T17:30:19.495-07:00I loved that book series, and though I was disappo...I loved that book series, and though I was disappointed in some aspects of the television series as compared to the books, I still loved the series on it's own merit. <br /><br />Nellie was awesome! I really liked how later in the series, when everyone grew up, Nellie was always trying to redeem her evil ways. And then there was Nancy! Or, as I like to think of her, Nellie 2.0. :-)<br /><br />And yes...Mary was totally boring until she went blind.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235688815855167839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477198994482578956.post-7163661082860310052013-03-18T16:24:45.442-07:002013-03-18T16:24:45.442-07:00Aw giiiirrrrllll!

Read them over and over and I too, have seen every one of those episodes repeatedly. I had long braids and people occasionally called me Half Pint. That makes me Team Laura. But yeah, nobody was as "bitchtastic" (love that) as Nellie. Except maybe huh Muthuh. I was thinking about reading the Melissa Gilbert book. Let me know how you like it. Did you know the actress who played Nellie has a book out too? I read the reviews and it's supposed to be even better than Gilbert's!

See, I was trying to be the good girl even then.<br /><br />Heavy emphasis on "trying." Kinda like Laura was always trying. :)Phoebe Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017518406017614017noreply@blogger.com
