What's the deal?

Seriously, people, I think that I may have to consider looking into anti-depressants. I just watched less than two minutes, TWO MINUTES of Little House on the Prairie and found myself practically bawling. Why they got to make Auntie Brenda cry? I've turned it off now - God only knows I couldn't take a second episode without some serious sinus damage. No one should have access to daytime TV.
