Little House on the Prairie - The Complete Season 4.......2007-06-08

Received in time and in good condition

A good show ruined by a poor quality dvd........2007-04-12

I give the actual content in season 4 a four star review but the dvd quality is so poor I cannot recommend anyone to buy this dvd. I am normally not very picky about dvd quality. I usually have the opinion of "good enough for me."
But the sound quality on this set is so terrible that it drove me crazy all the while I was watching it. The picture quality is not that great but I could deal with it. But the sound many times faded in and out and there was a lot of static.

Excellent.....and the Books are Different & Good........2007-03-05

I enjoyed all 9 seasons. This show was well cast, as everyone has personality. Many of the characters are likeable, characters-to-admire. They actually put a lot of work into the sets, building the little house and the small town. There is great character-acting with the bratty kids Nellie and Willie, their bratty mother, their henpecked father, and the bachelor Mr. Edwards who teaches little Laura to spit a long distance, appalling her mother. They shoot on location in many episodes. The shots never look staged, taking you there. The stories are interesting, lively, moving, and uplifting, with some guest writers and guest stars for variety.

The books have entirely different stories, and are very interesting. The books are true stories. Anyone who likes the TV show would like reading the books too. It is interesting how they lived and survived on the prairie. Laura Ingalls sure had a lot of adventures, with the family or family members just escaping death several times. Some of the show's pilot episode is in one of the books, but still very little, not even one book's worth of the nine book series. Laura Ingalls Wilder grew up just after the Civil War, living in Indian territory, that was not yet a State. Once her family was nearly killed by hundreds of Indians on the warpath. Yet she lived to see the automobile, airplane, color television, and the opening of Disneyland.

Similar good series are: "Anne of Green Gables", "Road to Avonlea seasons 1-6", "Christy - the complete series", and fairly made "Father Murphy seasons 1-2".

Little House Season 4.......2007-01-19

I was not sure which one of the Little House Seasons to purchase and made my decision based on the reviews.
My whole family and I watched them together and found them to contain many of our favorite episodes and suprisingly a couple we had never seen before.
Great family entertainment...

American pioneers were a strong-willed people ruled by wanderlust, optimism, and an intense drive to persevere and succeed in the face of incredible odds and grave danger. Based on the autobiographical novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder, this 255-minute 2004 Disney television miniseries (not the Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert series from the 1970's) tells Laura's story of her family's dangerous and exhausting journey by covered wagon from an economically depressed Wisconsin to the promising land of Kansas. While the land proves plentiful in Kansas, the hardships of setting up a homestead and co-existing with the Indians are intense. Through their struggles, the Ingalls family comes to appreciate the true value of the help and companionship of their fellow man and realizes the relative insignificance of their many outward differences. While their neighbor Mrs. Scott and most of the rest of their American contemporaries readily stereotype the Indians as an evil race devoid of redeeming qualities, the Ingalls are more compassionate, presuming the Indian population to be comprised of both good and bad people. The Ingalls family's tolerance for the Indians allows them to peacefully co-exist on the prairie for a time and engenders a tenuous sense of respect with one influential tribe member which serves the family well. Little House on the Prairie brings the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and the westward expansion of the American pioneers to life and is recommended viewing for ages 6 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

Description

Marking a return to the autobiographical books by renowned author Laura Ingalls Wilder, Disney's epic production of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE celebrates the magnificent and heartwarming story of a pioneer family's brave travels into the untamed American heartland. The majesty and grandeur of the frontier come alive with breathtaking cinematography and a host of classic characters. Disney's critically acclaimed miniseries chronicles the magical adventures of the Ingalls family as they stake their claim to a rugged parcel of land on the Kansas prairie. Their exciting journey brings them face-to-face with mysterious Indians, wild animals and their peculiar new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Scott. Spend some quality time with "a fine family drama," says the New York Daily News. Presented on two DVDs, LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE is hours of rousing entertainment for everyone.

Disney, after decades, you finally did it right!.......2007-04-27

Is this really a Disney production? Seriously! Really? For the first time in many, many years you did ol' Walt justice!
This is a fine example of how to do a period TV series correctly. If you are a fan of the original "Little House" series (and a very good series at that!), you will notice a distinct difference between this version and the Michael Landon version. This newer one is, from what I have read, very close to Mrs. Wilder's original stories. It's this version of "Little House on the Prairie" that you will find a very realistic account of pioneer life in the latter part of the 19th century, accurately portraying what it was like to leave a comfortable setting with family and friends about, to traveling to begin life anew hundreds of miles away. Cut off from all they knew as well as having their nearest neighbors quite a distance away, the Ingalls family learn to survive on their wits and skills, coming across the local (angry) Indians, meeting a life-loving free spirit, as well as a rather curt couple from Scotland.
Traveling by wagon was a trying experience, and this series shows that very well. Through cold weather, crossing a frozen river, rainstorms, the family made it after two months to their land in Kansas. You will find realistic portrayals of continued hardships and illnesses.
The Indians are seen from three different angles: the Scott's hate the savages and want them all dead; The Ingalls' feel that all people - no matter what race - have good and bad in them, and that the Indians are NOT savages and should receive the respect deserved to all folks; and Mr. Edwards is somewhere in between. Not PC, but not far right, either. It also hints of the atrocities that the American government did to the Indians, and also shows that the government screwed the white folks as well.
Except for Charles' extremely white teeth, all of the actors fit the time portrayed very well, including dirty and unkempt hair for the women, burly men who, you can just tell, smelled like they haven't showered in years, and even folks with foreign accents - something rarely seen in film versions of our earlier American history.
Fear of the unknown, concern over food (or lack thereof), the sounds on the prairie at night, the solitude of pioneer life, the fact that one had to be of a tough stock to handle all that came, hopes and dreams - this version of Little House actually puts meat on the bones of not just the Ingalls family, but of all American Pioneers.
I only wish the ratings were higher when originally shown on ABC TV back in 2005 so it could have been made into a weekly series. But then, it probably would have gone down hill after a few more episodes like so many others have. Better that we have the best.
My six year old daughter, sixteen year old son, and this 45 year old reviewer all thought this was a super series!

Too scary for my kids.......2007-02-17

This movie shows a very grim picture of the difficult times faced by the Ingalls family. While the cinematography was often stunning, it was simply too scary for my 7 and 10 year olds, and my 5 year old had no interest in the movie at all. Having just completed reading the entire Little House series of books to my kids, I would say they were much better off using thier own imaginations to envision what Laura Ingalls shared with us about this period her life. As a child, I loved the Michael Landon TV series and my children love it as well. It doesn't bother me that the episodes rarely accurately follow the story lines of the books, as it is instead like a continuation of the stories, depicting things that could easily have happened to the family. I find these shows much more suitable for my young children than the Disney movie.

Great family movie.......2007-01-20

Watched this on TV--was waiting for it to come out on DVD. Bought it and loved it especially watching it with my granddaughters.

little house fans?.......2006-12-01

Though i enjoyed this mini series (i HATED the old one in the 70's)
it generaly stayed on the ball with what was happening in laura's life
i missed a few scenes and the small bull dog discribed in the book
BUT
the BIGGEST flaw (wich i'm surprised no one has mentioned before me)
IT'S MISSING A CHARATER!!! LAURA'S LITTLE SISTER CARRIE!!!
i don't understand why the producers excluded her but right away i felt something was amiss and wheni figured out what it was it bothered me the rest of the time.
over all a good movie thogh

The Little House on the Prarie.......2006-11-04

This is a great film when your in the mood for it. I like that it has been made to be close to the actual book. It is long if you try to watch it at once but it is broken up well to watch it in sections. When I watched it seemed as though it was exactly as I had imagined when I was reading the book. The parents parts were played really well. The end of the story was a bit flat. I would've liked to see further.

Included on the Complete Season set!.......2004-01-01

In a very unclear and probably intentionally confusing marketing move, this and all of the other "2-hour TV special" Little House DVDs being released separated are actually included on the Complete Season box sets being released by the same company. I purchased three of these "specials" before realizing that they were all 2-part episodes to be found on the complete season sets. Usually, a 2-part show like this is released a little while before the season it's included on is... so only buy it if you MUST have it a couple of months ahead of time. While I don't have a problem with these 2-part shows being released separately, I don't understand the need for it and I really, really wish that it would be made clear somewhere on the packaging. Considering that these single disc releases have no special features, this is the worst example of DVD "double dipping" I've seen in a long time!!
