Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Podcast13 Mar 2025

"The Wisdom of Solomon" - with Todd Bridges!

We are beyond excited for this long-awaited episode—one that fans have been anticipating for decades! Today, we welcome the one and only Todd Bridges, who shares incredible insights into his standout Little House on the Prairie episode, The Wisdom of Solomon.

This powerful episode has stood the test of time, gaining even more popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic—so much so that Snoop Dogg himself posted about it! (Yes, Snoop Dogg is a Bonnethead.) Todd takes us on a deep dive into his experience filming this serious and impactful story, his audition process, his understanding of the material, and his belief that a similar episode likely wouldn’t be made for TV today.

We discuss why Little House has endured compared to modern television, and why tackling tough topics—like those explored in The Wisdom of Solomon—is crucial for sparking important conversations, understanding history, and learning how we can be better because of it.

Todd also shares insights into his unexpected breakout role on Diff’rent Strokes, what it was like to be part of the child-actor scene in the ’70s and ’80s, and his exciting upcoming projects—including a new show in development and his podcast with his wife, Dang!. The podcast explores those jaw-dropping moments in life that make you say, “DANG!”—whether good or bad.

Then join Pamela, Dean and Alison on Patreon where we further discuss this episode, and give some sneak peeks into the NEW adaptation of Little House on Netflix!
