Andy Garvey had feathered hair, and so did several other boys in the show.

Laura pretending to be an airplane in the closing credits, even though the first airplane wouldn't be invented for another 25 years.

You've never seen a bird gliding?

Apparently that is what Melissa told Landon when he had concerns that she was imitating an airplane when airplanes wouldn't have been invented in the LHOP times.

Yes. Also, the Germans already had air powered aircraft, or gliders, by the late 19th century.

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.

Probably. The show should have been titled: Enormous Anachronisms On The Prairie

Didn't Willie make a paper airplane in the epidode with the visiting rich cousin?

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.

In the runaway train episode, Charles gives Mary a peanut butter sandwich, even though it wasn't invented until 1890.

Peanut butter didn't become commercially popular until 1894. I suppose those prairie geniuses could have made their own, however.
