Takes me back!
So, I live in SW Florida and recently went through 2 hurricanes. Life was beyond crazy forawhile. But watching these videos of season 1 Little House was beyond amazing. Totallytook me to a very happy place. I highly recommend for anyone that just want to be backin that happy place.

Adjust your Contrast Settings!
I was reading these reviews before purchasing and was especially interested in the ones voicing complaints about the colors - such as extra bright whites. Since the overal reviews from people were full of praise, and since my girlfriend has the set with no complaints, I went ahead and purchased it, holding my breath.Well, on my TV the color is perfectly beautiful! So, why not start out with adjusting your contrast setting! Different TVs display things differently. Another DVD of mine that looks just fine on my TV (which is about five years old) looks absolutely bizarre on my girlfriend's TV (the picture is slightly distorted and the colors are flat.)There were also some comments about the voices on these DVDs. I do admit, that in one episode, Micheal Landon's voice does seem *weird* in a couple of scenes, but other than that, everything is just beautiful.This is an excellent collection for LHOP fans, and in intend on buying each season as finances allow. Great for the kids - and great fun for us adults.I do not like to watch the post modern cynicism of today; give me some good old fashioned idealism anytime! I grew up wishing Charles Ingalls was MY "Pa" and I mourned and cried and was very upset with the passing of Michael Landon. It is so nice to have him back in my living room again (We don't have Cable TV or local service, so I don't get to see the syndicated episodes at all)

I miss little house on the Prairie
I don't know how many of you recall this TV series but I grew watching and loving every episode. There were so many life lessons to be learnt from them and I'm sure many families wanted to emulate the family values of the Ingalls family.The television program aired on the NBC network from September 11, 1974, to March 21, 1983. The casts included Melissa Gilbert, Michael Landon, Karen Grassle, Lindsay Greenbush, Sidney Greenbush, Scottie MacGregor, Melissa Sue Anderson, Jonathan Gilbert, Kevin Hagen, Alison Arngrim, Matthew Laborteaux.I recall weeping when I heard Michael Landon had passed on from pancreatic cancer in 1991, and the last show of his which was aired here at the time in Singapore was `Highway To Heaven.'There are not many TV series which can make an impact and touch everyone in the family from the youngest to the oldest. The lessons on family values, human dignity, courage, determination, surviving hardship and so much more! Perhaps another series worthy of mention would be 7th Heaven.

They don't make 'em like this any more...
Great DVD series. Yes, as some reviews say (people will complain about anything...) the episodes are not spliced together leaving room for commercial breaks (a short pause of blackness). But so what. And yes.. because the episodes are so old, some of the episodes have poor sound and video. But this should not keep you from purchasing this series.I bought this series because I grew up watching it. Every episode left a good feeling in my heart - something lacking in today's TV. And I knew that my 8-year old daughter would love the series just as much as I did. She does. She asks to see more than one episode and I feel good watching it with her - knowing that she is actually learning something each time about manners and just true human goodness.If you want an alternative to the absolute filth on TV today, buy the Little House series. Have a family night and discuss the films in depth. Definitely won't disappoint.

Best Family TV Show Of All Time
I have always loved Little House and owning this one has let to the ownership of the entire series. Because of that I have paid for this first season, I have to admit downloading the other seasons for free as a torrent on line did not produce a nice and clear copy of the program as owning this DVD does but then again it didn't cost me like this one did. I think it's too price or I would have purchased the entire series from Amazon.com. Now I live where I can safely download such things and not fear I will end up in jail so in that way I'm lucky but they really should lower the price of this item...It would have to be half as much as what I paid for it before I would have been able to order more seasons from them. Ok the ones I downloaded are not perfect and always clear like this....but they didn't cost me an arm and a let either.

Touching
This is the best TV show I saw in my whole life . Pa`s dignity , Ma`s tenderness and of course Laura`s pure heart .It makes me feel that I want to go in that world and actually live in it .The episode I like best is " Lord is my Sheperd " . It dealt with Laura`s feeling of guilt because she didn`t pray for the newborn baby and the baby died in a disease . Laura ran away to a mountain so God can hear her prayers better . At the end God sends Pa to Laura to bring her home . The way Melissa Gilbert performed was magnificent . It made my whole family shed tears . Even when I think of that episode it makes me emotional .There will be no regret on buying this dvd . This is good for people of all ages .Thank you !
