I watch LHOP constantly. Besides some episodes that I really don't like, two things really bother me: fake tears and Charles' fiddle playing.
They use some kind of goo on people's cheeks to look like tears, but the tears never move. They have closeups of a really emotional scene that goes on for a while and the tears should be streaming and dripping, not frozen.
As for Charles, Michael Landon should have gotten a musical coach! He is not even close to being on the beat or matching the notes. His bowing technique is so poor, a first year violin student could do better. As often as he had fiddle scenes, more attention should have been paid to make it at least seem a little believable. Isaiah did a better job with the harmonica.
