Fifty years ago, the ‘man in black’ and his wife guest-starred on one of the most popular TV shows of the time. The Grand Ole Opry recently celebrated the anniversary of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash’s appearance on Little House on the Prairie with a star-studded tribute.
Members of the original cast reunited, and Cash’s children took the stage to mark this special occasion.
Last month, Dean Butler (Little House on the Prairie’s Almanzo Wilder) recently told People, “This reunion, it’s to honor Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash on the 50th anniversary of their appearance in the season three premiere of the Little House called ‘The Collection.’ It’s a wonderful performance on their part. It’s a very interesting episode. It plays right into the sweet spot of who they are and what they’re about.”
Butler added, “We decided because of Johnny and June’s status as icons of country music, we’d take this Nashville and go one step farther and go to the Grand Ole Opry with this. And when they pitched this idea to the Grand Ole Opry, they said, ‘Yes, yes, yes’ instantly.”

Hodgekiss rescues an unconscious Reverend Alden from a runaway wagon incident, and later dresses as a reverend himself to con the Walnut Grove out of the disaster relief donation money.
