This error remained until the end of the series! Sometimes it happens that a very small irreparable mistake is repeated from episode to episode, and that was the case with Little House on the Prairie, thanks to the actress Lucy Lee Flippin.
Too much pressure
Lucy Lee Flippin played Eliza Jane Wilder, Almando Wilder’s sister and Walnut Grove teacher from season 6. She replaced Miss Beadle (Charlotte Stewart), who held the position in seasons 1 through 4, and in season 5, the school was closed due to a teacher’s absence, showing that her character was expected by the residents of Walnut Grove!
But when they get to the set, Lucy Lee Flippin and Dean Butler (who plays Almando) are under some pressure to make it to the hit show and prove they can stay. BuzzFeed and Recreational television):
“no one corrected me”

First meeting Almanzo / Laura
“Dean and I were a little nervous the first day. We were in the carriage and Dean had to drive the horses and I don’t think he was used to it. I mean, we were two wide-eyed newbies!”
And it is because of this pressure that the actor will make a mistake that will remain throughout the series:
“I remember we were on the set and the first scene we shot was Laura and Almanzo meeting. I introduced him as Almonzo, but apparently it should be pronounced Almanzo! No one corrected me: neither the script, nor Michael Landon, nor Dean Butler, who didn’t say a word!
That’s where it stayed! Almanzo was voiced by Almonzo until the end of the series in Season 9 (1983), and then the lesser-known concluding TV movies. Decades later, the actor laughs: “I am unfairly blamed for this, but I said it better!” VF retained Almanzo.
Big age difference
It should be noted that Almanzo has a crush on little Laura despite the fact that the two characters are ten years apart, which was also the case in real life (remember, the series is adapted from novels based on true events). This age difference led Charles Ingalls, Laura’s father, to insist that his daughter be 18 before marriage.
On the other hand, actors Melissa Gilbert and Dean Butler were 8 years old when they met each other.
