Little House on the Prairie - Seasons 1-3 (Amazon.com Exclusive) Reviews
One of the best television shows ever made
I remember when I first saw LHOTP on DVD at Target. I heard of the show, and I know I watched some of it in syndication when I was very little, but I still didn't really know or remember much about the show. So there I was at Target, wondering whether or not I should buy this and not being sure if I would like it. I took a chance, and I really enjoyed it. That first season box set, especially the first episode, had a special feel to it when I watched it for the first time. It is such a wonderful show. It has substance to it and you don't find that in very many shows. It is about a family who has a strong faith in the Lord and a deep love for not only each other, but for their fellow man. It is this faith and love that gives them the strength to endure every trial and tribulation that they will face. This show will help you to escape to a simpler time. In this day and age, it is like a breath of fresh air. I now own the first six seasons and it keeps getting better unlike other shows. Lastly, Michael Landon was the heart of this show. LHOTP wouldn't have been what it was if it weren't for him. I liked him on Bonanza, but this is where you get to see how talented he really was. He wrote and directed many episodes. I've never seen his other series Highway to Heaven (or I may have when I was very little), but I will say that we are blessed to have had him in the entertainment industry. He left such a legacy. I am glad we have a wonderful show like this, and that we had it for nine seasons.
Great series, lousy DVD transfer
This show didn't interest me when it originally aired but my wife convinced me to buy the DVDs and watch them with her and now I really enjoy it. In fact, we've bought every season that has been released and I've even started reading the books.
My one complaint isn't with the series itself but with the DVD transfer, which is awful. Yes, the picture quality is mediocre, but what's really problematic is the audio. I noticed that another previous reviewer wrote that he'd like closed captioning on this because he's deaf. Well, sir (or madame), if it's any consolation to you, the rest of us aren't able to understand much more of what's said than you are, and that only when the volume is cranked up loud enough to wake Laura Ingalls Wilder, who I understand is deceased and buried several states away.
