Not every child was in every episode.... don't think there was an actual "reason" for Jim-Bob not appearing in "The Substitute" --but undoubtedly kept the budget down, as well as keeping Harper's hours down to please those keeping track of child-labor law requirements. |

There is one possibility during the time of filming that episode he could have been ill with something. The only person who can answer my question is David himself. |

Later on, they discontinued the practice. |

It was the one where one of the Ingalls neighbors died after he fell off the roof of his house. I guess he had internal bleeding and by the time Doc Baker got to him it was too late. Or I think maybe it was he wouldn't let the Dr. examine him when it could have helped because he was there to see the wife who had already lost more than one baby. Doc Baker gives up his practice. But anyway, I seem to recall that Melissa Anderson and the twins playing Carrie were in it, but not Melissa Gilbert in just that one episode. |

For the record, Jim-Bob is also missing on the photo for the first Waltons Christmas Album, which was released in 1974. On the back is a small photo of David Harper, and a caption that says he was fishing when the picture was taken. David himself says that is not true, but he didn't recall exactly why he missed the photo session! |

One of my favorite LHOTP outtakes is when Doc Baker somberly announces that some guest character has died, and Rev. Alden says, “Well, you’ve killed another one.” And then everybody starts cracking up. |
