They would have made more money keeping the set and allowing people to pay to visit it..this isn’t just a show the Ingals were a real family…. A serious if fairly true stories that this family went through. Some were embellished but most were true. This show was more than just a show it was a legacy and still is.. And one of the last wholesome things on tv ever created.
This show is amazing. It’s a shame time had changed so much. We live in such a superficial world now and the kids have no real role model to look up to that will teach them to become a good human being. So sad how America has become
It was an agreement with the owners of the land. When they were finally done with Little House they return the land to its original state. But dismantling the sets cost more so they blew up the town.

Some do. (Kinda) My mother was a realtor in the Las Vegas area during the 2008 collapse. - There were A LOT of foreclosures from people who were flipping or renting properties. Many of the tenants were NOT happy about being evicted from a house that was being foreclosed even though they had been paying their lease. I saw many houses that had been gutted, vandalized, etc. - Something I saw more than once was concrete being poured down sinks and toilets. Angry people do crazy things.
@@persephonecorgnell6388 It was on leased land in the Simi Valley (California). The lease terms required the production team to return the land to the same condition as it was pre-production. That meant removing all the sets and clearing the land. Blowing up the sets (Landon's idea) meant that the cleanup was made more difficult. They couldn't just leave debris in the field. They had to clean up ever board, nail and shard of glass.
@@DigitalJesuit Actually it was much easier because all they had to do was bring in a few loaders and dump trucks. Simply dismantling everything would have taken much longer and been more expensive.
Just think how much money they could have made if they turned this into a tourist destination what enjoyment it could have given fans this is the first time I've ever seen this it was very horrifying
Been hearing stories about a Little House reboot. Please no cause the (then) closeness of most of the cast is what makes it so special & it would be pretty well impossible to rebuild the town set exactly.
On tv it was to keep the land owners from taking over the town. In real life the show was ending and lease they had to film on the property was also ending. Part of the lease stated that the buildings had to be removed when filming ended, and it was cheaper to blow the buildings up than it was to take them apart.
This would be considered excessive. What was the point? Those structures could have been moved to a spot for an attraction or they could have stayed there. Nothing has been going on with property since?
There was an agreement before the show that they were to return the land to the owners upon it’s cancellation (ending). It would cost more to dismantle it, however they chose to blow it up instead
That would be cool but Ik for a fact every tv show that which uses the set so it’s constantly being used so every time series or movie ends the clean up all the props and all that stuff and put it in the lock up or like a storage unit like redo it or if they need to set up something or just do it on show or something like that and then they willtake it out and reset it
The main reason is there was contract made with big sky ranch owners that the property must be returned to it's original state when filming ended. In the end it was cheaper to blow it up and clean it up than it was to have a crew come in and take it apart.
@@ripd97The townspeople's logic was that since they were being evicted from the land that got bought from under them, they took the town with them. To be fair, the investor who bought up the land showed up with the Army to enforce the eviction and the townspeople could not bring themselves to settle it with guns.
There was alot I wanted to question regarding this show, but 2 major Ines for me, was the character whom played Harroit, that was a terrible part. And the episode of the lady that was told Laura the future.. that there was not of God of heaven.. some of the stuff the producers did ,I don't think realized the portals they opened when casting certain episodes.
As sad as this is which it is truly heartbreaking, they needed to do this the sets had to go they incorporated the destruction of the sets into the last episode and you know what it’s OK. Time goes forward we have to as well. The most important thing are the memories and even more importantly, sharing those memories with the new generations that’s what keeps it all alive.
Here's a question for Melissa Gilbert, who's got the bell from the schoolhouse? Who has the Walnut Grove sign with Lar's name on it? That's not destroyed, at least I know the bell's not. Also I don't remember seeing the Little House blown up, or Sleepy Eye or other towns in the shows. Some stuff still exists
I think the buildings had to be removed due to the leasing agreement they made with the land owner to return it back to it's natural state once the show ended. The Little House destroyed by fire in 2003 was replica at Big Sky Movie Ranch in Simi Valley.
The last regular series episode is called Hello And Goodbye. But there are 3 movies that came later. The third and final movie is called The Last Farewell.
I hated this at the time and still do, seeing it all these years later. I wish we could go back in time and talk Landon out of making this the ending of the series. Blow up the town if you want to easily dismantle it when you're all done, but don't make us viewers have to see it. Awful.
It was contractual. Big Sky Ranch owns the land so the show had to dismantle the set. Michael Landon wrote in the townspeople revenge against the greedy developer as a way to clear the set quickly.
De toute la série c'est cette épisode qui m"a le plus marqué! 😢😭🙏😭❤ j'ai su que les acteurs pleuraient réellement ! Car la destruction marqué la fin de leurs fabuleuse aventure!
I thought about something and I never thought about this until years later after this movie came on in 1984, what does blowing up the town businesses have to do with anybody else in the town, if you only see 🤣the main characters in The Town work in the businesses think about if a few businesses in my town get blown up, that's not going to make me leave my town,, so how is that guy going to make work orders for all those people that live in the town that you never see work in the business in the town, why didn't he go to anybody else house except to Laura's house just because they went to Laura's house and told them about his work order and get off the property, that's not going to make me leave my town it's so many broken pieces about the ending and this story. He had to put something together I can't get over it those couple of businesses and Laura's house made all those people leave that town 😂😂😂😂, with all the traveling they do if a couple business got blown up in my town I'll just go to the next couple of towns or find the nearest town and get what I want, it's not like it was a million businesses in Walnut Grove, but then you see all those gentleman with guns that you never seen work in the business is defend the town 😂😂😂, and then you got the army coming to that town forcing them to get off the whole Walnut Grove just because of these few businesses that none of these people had anything to do with it 😂😂😂😂😂, but then you had the gentleman that lives in Charles house just go on that long trip working as you can see he doesn't work in Walnut Grove, just to leave a house that had nothing to do with the businesses in the town 🤣🤣🤣, so let's get this right Laura family moves the people the family that live in the ingalls house moved, the the Olson's had to move, the doctor blew up his office and he didn't even live there so all he has to do is go to a different town to find work, now they didn't blow up the church they could still go worship the woodshop that Mr Edwards worked in and no one else, why did the town had to leave LOL, okay I understand the Olsen's, but with all the traveling they do they could go get supplies from somewhere else, that's all they did back in those days to find work was travel, but all those people left over one store a house because the Olsen's own both of them, a wood shop and a church, and the post office and a doctor's office that's going to make me leave my town 😂
