Meygn Kelly fears Woke Little House on the Prairie Reboot. Melissa Gilbert Replies

[Norbert]

The actress made sure to point out the various issues the original series tackled, including "racism, addiction, nativism," as she slammed Kelly's tweet.

Melissa Gilbert will not stand for any Little House on the Prairie slander.

On Thursday, Jan. 30, the actress, 60, posted a statement in response to a tweet from Megyn Kelly reacting to the news about the Little House reboot coming to Netflix — and Gilbert did not hold back in her defense of the show that made her famous.

"Apparently Megyn tweeted (I’m not on that platform) asking that Netflix not 'woke-ify' their Little House remake. Umm…watch the original again. TV doesn't get too much more 'woke' than we did," Gilbert wrote on Instagram.

"We tackled: racism, addiction, nativism, antisemitism, misogyny, rape, spousal abuse and every other 'woke' topic you can think of. Thank you very much."...

Thank you, Melissa.

1. I think Kelly was referring to the cast. They only want to see straight, white people on their televisions.

[haele]

6. Ummm, I remember seeing people of color and disabled people

On the original. Even though the main characters were pretty much 1870's Minnesota white settler types, and there wouldn't be much more than Natives, Irish or Italian Immigrants, or "Losers and Scalawags" trying to remake their fortunes or image by heading west.

40. Good luck because many of those shows featured black people

She needs to get over herself.

Black people were here longer than her ancestors.

What a dumb B.

[LonePirate]

43. I agree with you. I also think those of us on the left still underestimate how much white supremacy drives Republicans.

[Lovie777]

2. We are truly in the idiocracy phase in the USA...............

[Srkdqltr]

3. Obviously Meygn never watched the original.

[thinkingagain]

4. Michael Landon was amazing

He tackled the same topics in his Hiway to heaven program

I’ve been watching the reruns lately and it is a bit dishearting to see we are still fighting the same battles

Except I don’t think he ever showed
America on the brink of a dictatorship
Although one did cover the rise of nazi
White supremecy

[Mosby]

9. Have you seen the episode

Called "The Wisdom of Solomon"? Pretty dark, same with the one about the boxer who beats up his kid on purpose to get him away from a corrupt promoter.

Eta (language)

Yes, that's little Todd Bridges.

[thinkingagain]

10. Wisdom of Solomon & the boxer

Oh on Little House on the Prairie

It’s been a long time for both
Had to lift to refresh my memory

[oasis]

37. An eye opener back then. Thanks for posting.

[JHB]

24. See #22 below for a goddam celebration from an atheist to Highway to Heaven.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

5. Well, I'll be...I thought Megyn Kelly was still in storage with the rest of the mannequins.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

14. It's her turn to get to spend a month with actual human beings.

like Anne Francis did in Twilight Zone’s “The After Hours”.

[spooky3]

25. LOL! She's as much an attention seeker as her hero. Nt

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. Megyn plays the role of the ultimate mean

girl. She's good at it.

[johnnyfins]

13. I so want to call her that "word".

She is what I think that word means. Sorry if I'm offending anyone.

[catchnrelease]

17. She can play grown up Nellie Oleson!!

[Midnight Writer]

8. Megyn wants to see them slaughter natives and lynch black folks.

You know, manly Aryan Warrior shit.

Episode 1 Plot Synopsis: Charles and his friends learn of a black family that owns a farm, so they don white hoods, attack the farm, kill the men, keep the women as slaves, and claim the farm as their own in the name of Jesus. Lesson learned from this episode: Steal, kill, pillage, rape, is OK for white folk, but none of that woke shit.

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Her, Laura Ingraham, MTG and Boebert should go shoot some puppies or something. They are all sick fucks. n/t

[LisaM]

12. Megyn Kelly must not have watched that wildly anachronistic show

they even had an episode where people are boycotting a high school football game because the other team has black players. Before there was such a thing as high school football. Our family of football and history buffs were rooted in shock. Worst. Show. Ever. (Well, a tie if nothing else).

[boonecreek]

15. Aw Megyn.

Still trying to be relevant?

[Dorian Gray]

16. Fighting "Woke" sustains them

just ignore their dumbass rants.

[Dem4life1234]

41. They are like parrots finding whatever term and repeating it

[Figarosmom]

18. So did Bonanza and High Chaparral and all those

Other old shows the right holds so dear.

I wonder if Kevin Sorbo even knows how "woke" Hercules was?

[Norbert]

19. You would be amazed just how 'woke' the old westerns were.

I also remember the Waltons was quite woke. Remember the episode with the book burning?

[Figarosmom]

20. Yep

[VGNonly]

42. Grandpa Walton-Will Geer

Will Geer was a Member of the Communist Party. He knew and worked with Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. He was blacklisted in the 50s, refusing to name names.

[William Seger]

21. If reactionaries knew what "woke" really means...

... they might have a clue what "anti-woke" really means, and they might not wear it like a badge of honor. Ditto for DEI. But Megyn Kelly? She knows.

[JHB]

22. More power to MG, and to Michael Landon.

The video I'm linking to below is to YouTuber Steve Shives, whose content is mostly Star Trek-related stuff but is also but is also unabashedly anti-RW, an atheist recalling Michael Landon's first after-LHOTP show, "Highway to Heaven". And how it was "woke as hell" in comparison to RW religious exhortations of its time, much less the even more RW exhortations of time since.

[thinkingagain]

31. That was very good and interesting

I think your Steve Shives was very on point in my opinion.


M Landon being a republican back then is much like Lincoln being one
I like to think if still alive they would not embrace todays current )party.
( I do know that somewhere along the line Lincoln’s Republican Party morphed into the democrat and vis versa - but the Repubs try to still claim him)

Another thing I wish the world had a Johnathon Smith and Mark Gordon

[JHB]

35. Landon died in 1991, when Newt Gingrich was still a bombastic back-bencher...

...and Rush Limbaugh was still all hot air and not a "Majority-maker" for the Republicans. In other words, Landon was one of the "old rules" Republicans who could be engaged and spoken to, not the not-too-much-later version that Newt turned into zombie intransigent always-enemies.

[Crowman2009]

23. Megyn and her ilk long for an America that never existed.

[madaboutharry]

26. She probably never even watched it.

Little House on the Prairie was owned by Michael Landon, who was known to be one of those Jewish Hollywood Liberals! He was woke before woke was a thing.

[Iggo]

27. Tel me you've never seen Little House without telling me you've never seen Little House.

Jesus fucking Christ Megyn. Are you that desperate for attention? Just start shooting puppies and kittens. That’s all it really takes. Ask Kristi Noem.

[NoMoreRepugs]

28. Megyn 'plasticface' Kelly can eat a bag ofdicks.

[Simeon Salus]

29. The entire western tv show canon is about how social justice requires warriors.

James Arness's Matt Dillon is a paladin.

Richard Boone's character is even named Paladin.

Bonanza is about how three brothers of different mothers together solve social justice issues.

Big Valley is a rip off of Bonanza's premise, but with a matriarch instead of a patriarch.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. Heck! So was The Andy Griffith Show "woke", before woke was cool.

I've been watching it on Me TV and lessons that the right used to believe in are now considered Woke. Just a real slap in the face of Americana.

[Dem4life1234]

39. Lol this!

All of those old school shows had a message about respecting other people, being kind, etc.

She would have a stroke watching Different Strokes again.


She's so stupid and hateful. Peroxide must have seeped into her little brain.

[UTUSN]

32. K&R

[spanone]

33. K&R

[Hitorque]

36. Isn't Meygn the same moron that lost her shit over a black mall Santa?

[oasis]

38. Bravo Melissa Gilbert and....
