AWESOME, WHOLESOME FAMILY SHOW! January 18, 2008
Thanks so much for the great show. I only wish the world had more of this kind of entertainment. If you are what you eat this certainly applies to what we feed on mentally. What a wonderful world this would be if everyone fed on quality values such as these.
Quite possibly the finest pilot of any series ever December 31, 2007
I purchased this item on Amazon a few days before Christmas, hoping that it would arrive before the tree came down, and it did.
I am a rabid raccoon of a "Little House" fan and this is a must for any afficionado. It's the story of the Ingalls family boiled down to bare bones: heart, love, courage and faith. The disk is a little skimpy on the extras, but who needs extras when there are so many memories that come pouring forth the minute the DVD starts to play. Remember when the Ingalls girls were young? They were never younger than in the Pilot. Remember when Karen Grassle pretty much cemented herself as the prettiest Ma on the wild frontier? She was never more radiant than in this introductory episode. And remember when you believed in Santa Claus? You'll believe again in the spirit of Christmas when Mr. Edwards appears at the Ingalls' door, frost-bitten and determined to bring the girls Christmas presents, no matter the weather.
The DVD does contain a bit of trivia I never knew. The actor who had been cast as Charles Ingalls was late to the set on the first day of shooting, so Michael Landon, who was supposed to have been just the executive producer of the show, filled in for him. I don't know who the man who could have been Pa was, and I cannot imagine the show without Michael Landon's gentle presence as the Ingalls patriarch. He made the series in so many ways, even as it plowed toward the melodramatic at times.
You'll watch this with tears glistening in your eyes and will find your heart warmed like so many of Ma's campfire stews. And when the wagon takes off at the end for another settlement, you'll want to follow them.
A brilliant beginning for a timeless series.
 Always a classic September 25, 2007
This is not included on the Season one disc set, so I was very glad to see it sold as a separate DVD. You know the story - Pa packs up the family and moves to Kansas, where they face all kinds of challenges and meet the infamous Mr. Edwards.
Like all of the Little House series, it's cheesy family-friendly goodness!
It brings back such memories September 24, 2007
I loved Little House on th Prairie when I was a kid. When I saw my daugther watching old re-runs of the show on tv with the same kind of enjoyment I had as a kid, I decided to buy the whole series. The first season doesn't include this show, which I think you should have to start off with. The Pilot shows how the family winds up in Walnut Grove in the first place. This series is one you are happy to have your children watch. Many shows on tv now are not suitable for young kids to watch. This is one you can allow your children to watch without concern. I watch them with my daughter often and really enjoy them. It provides a nice bonding time for us. If my daughter watches it on her own, I don't need to be concerned about what she is seeing.
