From the “Little House” to the Congress? It could happen for Livingston County resident Melissa Gilbert.

Gilbert, star of the hit 1970s television series, “Little House on the Prairie” on Monday announced she would run as a Democrat for the 8th District Congressional seat in next year’s election.

The news thrilled area Democrats.

“I think it’s very, very exciting news,” said county party chairwoman Judy Daubenmier,

“We worked with her on the Schauer campaign (for governor) and, I can tell you, she’s a real trooper. She’ll be a very effective campaigner.”

Isn’t her sister the one on “The Talk?”

Yep, it runs in the family.

“Another member of the Film Actors Guild”

She was President of SAG. for a few years. I recall fellow RATS in the SAG giving her hell a time or two back in the day.

I like watching some old shows on tv. Used to get “Little House”, but no more. We’re not on cable. I watch “In the Heat of the Night” marathon here - show’s 26 yrs. old. The reality of these actor’s lives depresses me if I think about it. Many of them are since dead.

Sadly they are just actors ... Julie Andrews for instance I never got over seeing her in a movie saying F this and F that, ever since then The Sound of Music is not as enjoyable

I fell in love with Helen Hunt in a great Highway To Heaven 2 hour episode, I had loved her earliest stuff, then she goes on to play hard liberal roles, kind of takes the shine off her early stuff.

I also fell in love with Katherine Heigl in LOVE COMES SOFTLY, ironically one of Michael Landon Jr productions

Then she goes on to star in the Hollywood filth

It`s sad to watch, but they are just actors

"I hope he was a Christian"

He was not. He married a Christian wife, and his kids were raised in that faith, but he remained Jewish.

He spoke about it shortly before his death, about how his kids pleaded with him to accept Jesus. He said he "just couldn't".

Yet, she's not opposed to guns being used on shows she's making money from.

Once she elected to have her implants removed, she really did become “half pint.”

Back about 1975, Michael Landon was on some talk show and said he didn’t believe in love. I hadn’t been much of a fan before but definitely wasn’t after that.

Yea, she went over to the Dark Side In Babyon 5, I’m not surprised she’d do it in real life.
