do you think the doc secretly hated charles?


the broken ribs, charle strying to act like he was a doctor

i bet doc baker wanted to sock him one

reply

Nah, I think that Doc Baker relied on good customers like Charles, who were single handedly keeping him in business in that one horse town. But he probably still wanted to sock him one anyways :D

reply

I think everyone secretly hated Charles, including Shady Caroline.

I recall Laura hating on him pretty hard one episode as well. And Albert hit him where it hurt the most, and was cutting heavily into his morphine profits 😃

I think I like Doc Baker the best on the show. He's smart and calm and generally doesn't get hysterical unlike the rest of the cast. There was his little foray into racism in the Dr. LeDoux episodes, but he got over that quickly.

reply

Yeah, ole doc wasn't so bad, along with Reverend Alden. The good Reverend was a regular in Gunsmoke, but he was hardly recognizable as the same guy in little house because he wasn't so darn fa, er, “horizontally challenged” 😉 Actually all kinds of the little house cast were in Gunsmoke; Ma, Ms Beadle, Hanson, Doc Baker, and I'm sure a few others that I missed.

reply

Mr. Edwards was on Gunsmoke a lot mostly as a bad guy.

reply

I recall that one Gunsmoke episode Colorado_Kid , in which he played the town sheriff that everyone was afraid of. Totally different character than he played on little house, that's for sure 😨

reply

Also I loved Harriet quick with the tongue and at times had an amazing heart.

reply

I thought everybody openly hated Charles, including me.
