That show actually got really dark. A lot of bad things happened to them, authentic frontier unpleasantness, but not really the cheerful show people like to remember it as.

I remember watching LHOTP when one of the girls spots Ma making out in the barn with the guy who played Buck Rodgers.
He was "helping out" on the farm while Pa was off working on the railroad to help his family survive hard times.
Nice going, Ma.

Well it was highly melodramatic and sappy. It’s not a question of nothing dark happening but how its presented. ‘The Sound of Music’ is filled with Nazis but that doesn’t make it ‘dark.’ I love TSOM as well btw.
