In real life, MacGregor, who appeared in many stage plays, televison shows and tv-movies prior to landing the role of Harriet Oleson in Little House, was kind and caring and had a sense of humor -- but her tv character, as co-star Melissa Gilbert put it, was "the woman our fans loved to hate."

Yes, young people, there was indeed a time when major cities had only two or three television stations. They broadcast for only a few hours per week and the programs were in black and white. In 1954, NBC began broadcasting a small number of programs in color. By 1959, most of NBC's prime-time dramas were in color. Each such program was preceded by an animated peacock with a color-changing tail and the message, "The following program is brought to you in living color on NBC." The designer of that peacock was Pablo Ferro.
