Customer Reviews

Excellent
I did not see the series when it was originally shown, and bought the DVDs for my daughter (aged 7) for Christmas as she loves the books. So often these TV adaptations can be a disappointment, but this lovely series remains true to the spirit of the books while expanding the characters and introducing new themes and storylines. It has been a pleasure to watch and my daughter has been riveted. It is nice to watch a TV series with no bad language or violence, and good old fashioned values for a change.

It Really Doesn't Get Better Than This
O.K. I'll be the first to admit the picture quality/ sound quality could have been a little better in places and there may have been cuts to a few of the scenes but for me this in no way detracts from the fact this first series of Little House On The Prairie is well worth purchasing.
It always surprises me watching these early episodes how well prepared in advance the show's characters were. There's never a hint of them struggling to find their feet or the need for changing a character's personality to fit into a storyline as happens often in other series, all of the characters seem seamless and natural from day one.
I'd also argue there's not a weak episode to be found in this boxset and of its type there's no other series to beat it.
There's an old saying 'never work with children and animals' but i think this series must be an exception because there's so many instances where the children (and on occasions animals) make the most important and effective characters.
There's a little moral that can be learned from each and every story in this series. There's nothing that comes close on t.v. today.

TV series for the family
I watched Little House On The Prairie over 25 ago, but i can still recall the positive impact it made on me and the emotions evolved watching it. LHOTP is about a family settling in a small village in the late 1800s US. Every episode touched on different matters : love, affection, relationships , growing up, letting go, birth, death and was always very focussed on family and Christian values. The stories are evolving , the characters are captivating and is wonderfull to watch the series actors from when they are kids to growing up and having their own families in the story . Strongly reccommended viewing for children as it has a godd sense of humor and a strong focus on values. Wondefull music, scenery and some stories will stay with you for a long time ; they did with me.
