mascara and highlights for Sylvia by AVON.
charles weeping openly. would have constituted an ass kicking back then.
treating blind and negro folk like regular people.
bras for caroline supplied by Lily of France and Victoria's secret.
Mr montague trained at the mayo clinic as if it was an impressive piece of his resume that didn't open until 1890.
write the crotchety baby crying into the scene [grace and rose were always whiny] and instead of just swapping Ashley for Mary Kate.

A little known fact:
Charles invented the blow-dryer in 1874. It was a complex contraption that consisted of a blacksmith's bellows connected to the forge. Two people were necessary to operate it; one needed to regulate the heat from the forge as the other person pumped the bellows in the direction of the client's hair.
It was not without its problems. Charles was involved in a mishap while the device was in the early stages of development. He ended up permanently singeing off his beard, which explains why he always appeared to be clean-shaven.
Plans to patent his invention were hindered when the blacksmith's business was bought out by some strange fellow with an affinity for clown masks. Charles soon abandoned all plans of marketing his device, and went back to attempting to grow a wheat crop. -

Since you're the only recent poster here, I'll reply to you.
That Brooklyn was a "burro" of New York City. LHOP was set in the 1870s and it didn't happen for about twenty more years.

Thanks. It seems that there is not much in the way of television/movie discussions at this site, with the General Discussion subforum being the most active.
I didn’t read the entire thread, but was referring to the closing scene when Laura was running with her arms straight out, like a plane/bird.

I believe most of the anachronisms were intentional. Landon was likely more concerned with humor than historical accuracy.

Almost ALL of the males characters, especially the boys had 70'sish hairstyles. Maybe because Michael Landon liked his hair "modern". So, why not everybody?
Also, the number of "one hit wonders" they managed to use is such an epic series and still maintain reality throughout.

just thinking the idea of the /airplane/ was around in the 1400's thanks to Leonardo davinci.
the workable design might have came from the wright brothers.
and, really paper airplanes are ORIGAMI which is an ancient Japanese art form.
