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

Season 4 definitely shows more maturity in the subjects used. Season 4 is more tragic and darker than the first three seasons. This fourth season is different and bring in a lot of new characters and new tragic events that will change the course of the show. This is in this season that we first mean Kezia and Joe Kagen. The arrival of baby Grace is certainly one of the biggest events in season 4, along with the sight loss of Mary in the last two episodes. Season 4 is a special season, filled with emotion, but also love and a

It is a season filled with emotion, love and a small touch of comedy. The Ingalls girls are much older, and the stories are far less “childish” as the girls seem to connect with the world of adults.

The book

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.

COMMENT:

While the whole ‘Little House on the Prairie’ is a remarkable series, the complete first season may be the best, because not only of the great quality of the story and episodes, but also because of the great acting, the amazing scenery and the great messages the author tries to tell us.

The star of the series is, with no doubt Michael Landon. Michael Landon plays Charles Ingalls, but is also the writer and executive producer of this excellent drama series. He not only set the bar for excellence for other series, and very few, have even come close to being as brilliant.

The Little House on the Prairie season 1 is a gem that needs to be own by anyone who, liked me, enjoyed the series. You will also notice some clips that were edited from the original version showed on TV. Those clips are not very long, but it is always interesting to see “new parts”, which is a real treat for us fans!

I have seen every single episode of this series (thanks to TBS, because the first-run series was years before I was born) and I noticed that some of the episodes included clips that were not on the syndicated version. These are very short, but noticeable if you are a longtime watcher and fan like myself.

My favorites episodes from season number 1 include Christmas at Plum Creek and A Haverst of Friends.

‘Little House’ is such a wonderful show, a classic for all families and people from all generations need to watch it at least once. The box sets also make presents, if you know someone who loved the series, do not hesitate and get them the Season 1 (or all the seasons!). And if you are looking to some Christmas entertainment for the kids, a hint: my  9 years old niece fell in love with the series…

Finally, if you have never seen the show before, I highly recommend you to start with the intro movie (sold separately) and the first season box set, as there are over 20 episodes to watch in the first season only… Happy watching!
