Little House On The Prairie Season 3 Deluxe Remastered Edition [Blu-ray]

Love that Little house on the Prairie is finally available in the original length and in HD. The other series available on dvd and video was still cut poorly and some episodes had some minor tape/ film damage as if they were not made from the original copies available from the studio. This is a timeless series that even today's kids con enjoy about how a loving family can have a joyful life a midst the trials and tribulations of the mid 1800'sBefore electronics, modern medicine and many of the things kids think are absolute necessities of everyday life. I was surprised that even my 7 yr old son was interested to see how life was so different and yet so similar in such a different time. I reserved some of the more dramatic episodes dealing with some of the more difficult topics away from him, as he is mildly autistic and very sensitive. I highly recommend this series for all families. You should know if you are not familiar with the series that they family is a part of a Christian community. They sometimes seen in church and do openly speak about God. If that is bothersome to you than you might want to skip this series. On the other hand, even though God is open discussed at times, the show is more about the common moral beliefs of most of the faiths in the US. I remember reading somewhere that Michael Landon, one of the shows main actors, writers and directors was actually Jewish.

Season three is definitely in improvement over season's one and two...let me correct that, the DVD release of season three is in improvement over season's one and two. Scene selections have finally been added and there are...well tolerable bonus features, cast members share there their memories...in the form of notes. It would have been a lot nicer watching interviews instead of reading notes, I could buy a book to do that but overall the effort put into the season releases has increased. But not everything is fantastic about this set, I have to agree with other reviewers that sometimes the transitions from one scene to the next are awful, but otherwise I enjoyed this release. I also think the packaging is much better, I miss the photographs from the previous releases and all but the DVD's from season one fell out of the DVD case numerous times and got scratched up, season three's DVD case is much better because the discs are treated more carefully. There also is a pamphlet that includes each episode synopsis so you can find the episode you're looking for easily.Season three of Little House includes nineteen episodes on six discs, and like usual are absolutely terrific. There are many episodes focused on Laura and Mary in season three, but one of my favorites is not about them, it's called "Wisdom of Solomon" which is about a young black boy who runs away from his family because he's tired of being treated differently. I found this episode interesting, there have been many advancements since the days of the Ingalls, women had more rights and technology had advanced, but the racist attitude still lingered with some people in the 70's, (and even in this present day) and this episode may have made them stop and think, it really is a deep episode from the series.To wrap things up, season three is terrific, and it's highly recommended to any Little House fan, flaws and all this set is a must have.

As many others have, I grew up with this series and I still love watching it. Some might consider it 'out of date' or even corny in some respects, but so much of it still resonates to our lives today. Core family values, and lessons learned about how hard work and perseverance make obtaining those things that we need or want more valuable.I was hesitant to order blu ray, but since I'm in process of buying the series and season 3 was next on my list, I decided to take a chance. I figured I could always donate it and go back to collecting the regular Deluxe Remastered Editions if I didn't like it.There is a world of difference between the blu ray and the DRE disks. The original disks were out of focus and the audio terribly muffled. The remastered are much better, but the blu ray, wow. There are some scenes where the colors are a bit over saturated, and some close ups of the actors are a bit pixelated, but overall the quality is excellent. Considering how the shows were filmed, and how long ago, the blu rays offer excellent quality. As someone else said, Michael Landon would be proud.

Little house on the prairie baby! Great fricken show! Honestly if you look and some of the episodes, this show was dealing with subjects that at the time were not as popular to talk about.

DVDs Of Little House are Excellent in Video Quality and Sound. The Videos are Incredibly Clear. Amazing Restoration. The Best I Have Ever Seen! Its like watching an original movie film. Quality is Outstanding I cannot say enough. You get your money's worth. Thank You Very Much.

An episode on disc two stalls and then skips ahead quite a bit. No obvious scratches, supposedly brand new.

Strong story telling with strong moral values seems to be a dying art. Fortunately, DVDs like this Little House series mean you and your family can enjoy and benefit whenever it's convenient from the great messages and lessons this stellar series provides. Especially if you have children this is a fantastic moral values teaching tool, while being highly entertaining.It's great to be able to pause, and discuss parts. My daughter especially was having me pause more than I was. Michael Landon (God rest his soul) was a genius of a kind. No matter how often these are watched, either old lessons and values are reinforced or new ones are noticed and learned.This great country was founded and grew up on the strong Christian values depicted so eloquently in this Little House series.

50 years of loving these stories. I just keep buying the next series as the last runs out. Best show ever.

I thought the box sets were absolutely brilliant. The story lines are classic and always a joy to watch. It is really good how watching these can take you back to your childhood, depending on when you were born that is, when little house on the prairie used to be on television. How things have changed through the years. there isn't really much more to say other than I would recommend buying these to anyone who has ever watched and enjoyed little house on the prairie before, also for anyone that enjoys good family fun and good stories, these are for you. thanks.

This series has been bought after 1 & 2, it is great to see how the series matured and developed. Really good family entertainment although my 7 year was scared at some of the plot line which do seem to be a bit darker than the previous two. But for me it was great to re-visit a much loved childhood programme. Delivery was on time time and packaged well, looking forward to buying series four.

As with all of the other seasons I bought, this came in a Dutch box with Dutch titles and automatically plays with Dutch subtitles that you have to turn off each time. Otherwise the classic remains unchanged! Love watching them in all these years later.

If 'Little House On The Prairie's first season was a fine introducton to all the main characters and season two developed their warm chemistry to a greater degree then season three's strength is consolidating those fine earlier efforts into making the characters we all know and love even more heartwarming.There are those familiar themes running through each episode of season three - including family values, hardship, justice, prejudice, equality etc. which, like the first two seasons are told in such a wonderfully effective way. There are episodes dealing with racial prejudice - 'Injun Kid', 'The Wisdom Of Solomon', prejudice in general - 'The Music Box','The Election' and also the hardship of living in those times - 'Quarantine' and the need to find wealth to survive - 'Gold Country'.Not all the episodes are so serious, however. 'The Monster Of Walnut Grove' is hilarious although not for Laura who believes Mr Oleson has cut off his wife's head and 'Fred' which is about a billy goat with an annoying habit!It's this mixture of drama and a touch of comedy which makes 'Little House On The Prairie' such a compelling series to watch and it's also something which seems so hard to find these days. The stories are all incredibly strong and so well acted.There has been quality issues with regard to the first two series DVD's sound/picture quality released in the UK. I'm not quite sure whether the US versions come from the same source but this version of season three is distinctly better - both in picture quality and sound. However, there are times when scenes are cut rather abruptly. Also, two of the episodes are shown in the wrong order - 'The Race' and 'Bunny' which is unfortunate as the stories follow on from each other. Also, any UK resident buying needs a DVD player compatable with the US market to play this DVD.I'd be hard pushed to find another tv series which is so consistently great - 'Little House On The Prairie' is pure quality.
