Comment

A 17 times Emmy Awards and 3 times Golden Globes nominated series, Little House on the Prairie is one of most acclaimed family shows. This beautiful series ran between 1974 and 1983. The Eighth Season is the last “traditional” season of the series, as the Ingalls family moves to the city in Season 9. Season 9 revolves around newer cast and as a result, many fans consider the 8th season to be the last season of the show as we know.

Season Eight revolves around more “adult” matters and topics than the previous years. This new season introduces new characters such as Nancy and baby Rose. Our favorite episode is probably the Christmas reminiscing of the Ingalls family and the Wilder family. The most memorable episode? The miraculous recovery of James, who was shot during a bank robbery in Sleepy Eye. The Eighth Season of Little House is a heartwarming season.

Comment

A great series, but some flaws with the DVD

This is not for no reason that Little House on the Prairie was nominated 17 times at the Emmy Awards and 3 times at the Golden Globes. No, the tv show itself is simply a milestone in regards to family entertainment. The wonderful series ran between 1974 and 1983. The sixth season is a great season, just as entertaining as the previous seasons.

Overall, you will love the sixth season of LHOTP, which ran from 1979 to 1980. This season’s most memorable event is Laura falling in love with Almanzo, who doesn’t know she even exists, which give it extra spice! It is also interesting to note the episode of Annabelle, where they deal with a delicate issue : loving someone who is overweight for what they are inside and not outside.

However, because of some flaws from the DVD, while the show itself deserve a 5 stars, Little house on the Prairie season 6  the DVD is certainly no 5 stars. Some major flaws from the DVD include mainly unwanted cuts. While they are small, they are noticeable for any fan of the series. Fan around the world criticize it, they want the unedited version, the aired version, not the edited version for DVD.

Despite those few annoyances, Little House on the Prairie season 6 is a great season to own and to share with your family.

Comment

Little House on the Prairie is a 17 times Emmy Awards nominated and 3 times Golden Globes nominated TV show milestone. In September of 1978, Little house on the Prairie comes back for a fifth season. While some people criticized Michael Landon liberties to create a new character, therefore diverting fro the initial book, others just love what the new characters, Albert Ingalls and Adam, brought to the show.

Season 5 of Little House on the prairie deals a lot with love and relationships. Probably one of the most memorable event of season 5 is the part with Laura being so helpful to Albert, an orphan, who eventually is adopted by the Ingalls, who just love their beloved baby boy to a serious illness.

Published in 1935, Little House on the Prairie is a children’s book, the first of the Little House series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The Little House series is not an autobiography, but a series of novels based on Laura’s memories of her childhood in the United States prairies during the late 19th century.

Screen adaptation

During the 70’s, the popular children’s book was adapted to the TV. The Little House series-based show was aired on NBC between 1974 to 1983. Although the teleseries is a rather loose show of the books, it contains the major elements of Laura Ingalls’ books and borrows many of the storylines. For nearly a decade, the TV series Little House on the Prairie won the heart of millions of viewers and was one of the few successful low-running family shows. Nearly 30 years the very first launch of the show, in 2003, Little House on the Prairie was successfully transfered to DVD. Little House on the Prairie DVD is now the number one seller in televised dramas on DVD.

The Story

The TV series follow the lives of the Ingalls family, which consist in Charles the father (played by Michael Layton), Caroline the mother (Karen Grassle), Laura the main character (played by Melissa Gilbert), Carrie, Mary and then Grace and later during the show, three adopted children Albert, James and Cassandra. The Ingalls are a simple farming family who decided to settle near the town of Walnut Grove, on the banks of Plum Creek during the late 1800s.

Review by Julia Barns – The best and most touching family show ever made

I simply love this series, just like millions of other people. And the reasons are clear and simple : first, every episode provide some the story lines that provide useful and sensible lessons about life in life, and second,  we simply love the show for the remarkable  interpretations and work by the cast (both the main cast and the guests).

This brilliant show bring us to a wide range of emotions and is probably one of the most entertaining show in its category (family shows). If you watch Little House on the Prairie DVD, you will laugh, cry, become thoughtful and even be taken by surprise on some of the episodes. You will be touched by the closeness of the family, the dear moments between Charles Ingalls (beautifully played by writer Michael Landon) and Caroline Ingalls, the sweet love between Laura and her love interest(s).

Little House on the Prairie DVD is a box set you should own and which you can share with every generation in your family. – Julia Barn for Little House on the Prairie DVD.
