In the grand finale of Little House on the Prairie, the TV movie The Last Farewell, thereās a glaring oversight. Set in 1901, itās clear that most of the characters should be in their 60s or 70s by the start of the 20th century.
For instance, the real-life Charles Ingalls passed away in 1902. The younger characters, like Carrie, Jenny, James, Cassandra, and Nancy, should have transitioned into young adulthood by this point.
Yet, when viewing images from the final seasons, it appears that everyone has aged remarkably little, as if time stood still in Walnut Grove. However, historically, the Wilders had moved to Missouri around the turn of the century.

Did you notice that Katherine MacGregor, who played Harriet Oleson throughout all nine seasons, was missing from The Last Farewell?
