Little House on the Prairie: The Complete Series [Deluxe Remastered Edition]

Got my DVD set early. It's even better than I remember. The sound is cinematic and the images are more crisp and vivid. I used to watch this TV series with my family during my high school and college years in the Philippines. That glorious music just brings me back to the halcyon days of my youth. I read the reviews and noticed that there are tiny red sticky flecks on some of the DVDs; So I gently cleaned them with mild soap and facial tissue. Once dry, the discs seemed to play okay. However, there were a few episodes which skipped and wouldn't continue playing. The packaging is shoddy and causes scratches, so I put each disc inside a fold top sandwich bag. It's a lot of work, but owning this incomparable masterpiece for $45 will be well worth my efforts.

Ah, Little House the Prairie...it speaks of much different time then our world today. Endless values and Biblical principals to live our lives by come cascading off the screen with each upload disk(48). Recommended for families, children, young couples, and grandparents alike! The Holy Scriptures are taught and serve as a Cornerstone of wisdom and belief for everything the Ingalls do in Walnut Grove and beyond. Unfortunately I had issues with, first disk 2 and then, once more with disk 4 freezing. Could not get certain episodes on either disk to play. Returned item for refund, but plan to reorder in the hope I just received a defective batch of DVD's. Irregardless the Little House remains Timeless! Enjoy!

Everything was okay

UPDATE: I received a replacement set from Amazon. This set still had problems, but was much better. All but 12 episodes were readable. Unfortunately, the 12 episodes that could not be read in this set were all episodes that could not be read in the first set. So, I guess I will send this back to Amazon for another replacement and continue until I get one that is readable. I have starred the episodes below that also failed in the replacement set. ORIGINAL: I read the reviews before I bought this set, but figured that I would be OK. I rip all of our DVDs and there is usually a higher tolerance for disks that are hard to read when ripping than when playing them on a DVD player. No such luck in this case, unfortunately. I attempted to rip them with two different drives and one or the other would occasionally be able to read an episode that the other couldn't, but many could not be read by either drive. In my set, 37 episodes are unreadable. It appears that the middle episode of any five episode disk is unplayable, which makes me suspect a bad transition between layers. If you want to test your set, I recommend trying to play the third episode on any five episode disk. Those middle episodes failed on the same disks in both sets that I received. As far as I can tell, these disks are just poorly manufactured. You can see areas of poor adhesion between the layers looking at many of the disks. In addition, many of the disks have small deposits of something brownish that seems like plastic. It can be scraped off, which helps with the disks that are affected, but many of the disks have no such contamination and still can't be read. There are a lot of episodes in this set and the first couple of disks played normally. If I hadn't been ripping them, I might not have realized how bad the set is until it was too late to return it. While the packaging doesn't do this set any favors, the problem isn't scratching. Just look at the list of episodes below. 7,16,21 repeats through the first half of the disks and then 8,13,18,21. The same episodes fail to play because the problem is structural. This is a list of unreadable episodes in my set. I will be sending this back to Amazon for replacement in the hope that I get a set that reads better or at least differently. I will update to note whether the same or different disks are affected in the replacement set. Given the pattern, I am not at all optimistic that the replacements will be any different. (Starred episodes were also unreadable in the replacement set.) Unreadable Episodes: S1D3 E9,10 S1D5 E18 S1D6 E23 S2D2 E7 * S2D4 E16 S2D5 E21 S3D2 E7 S3D3 E11,12 S3D4 E16 S3D5 E21 S4D2 E7 S4D3 E11 S4D4 E16,17 S4D5 E21 S5D2 E8 * S5D3 E13 *,14,15 S5D4 E18 * S5D5 E23 * S6D1 E3 * S6D2 E8 * S6D3 E13 * S6D4 E18 * S6D5 E23 * S7D1 E3,4,5 S7D2 E8 S7D4 E17 S7D5 E21 S8D1 E3 * S8D2 E8 * S9D1 E3

Shows like these are such a refreshing respite from all the smutty trash that's all over TV today. I see a lot of older shows coming back on television. I also see more Christian based movies playing in movie theaters. I think a lot of people are craving more shows with morals, a strong family unit, clean dialogue and more modest attire. "Little House on the Prairie" fits that bill to a T. I've watched all 9 seasons and the Special Features in less than a week. I can actually binge watch TV shows like these without getting bored. Not so with the new, empty shows airing on just about every channel. Those, I have to take breaks from often. "LHOTP" is a family friendly series. No cussing, sexual situations, gory scenes or nudity. Being a bully, telling lies and doing or saying evil, vindictive things is condemned not condoned or meant to be looked up to. Unfortunately, many TV shows and movies today try to make being bad, getting revenge and sleeping around look like good things to strive for. Sex, nudity and foul language does not a good movie make. Unlike what certain whiners think about the "LHOTP" TV show and the collection of books, neither is racist. Banning the books in certain libraries was completely ridiculous. I'm glad to see it had no effect on DVD and book sales. "LHOTP" is now streaming on Amazon. So, even negative publicity is still publicity. I highly recommend this series. A wonderful show for all ages. If some people are influenced by what they watch then I'd rather they be influenced by TV shows like "LHOTP". Believe me, you could do a whole lot worse. Better to look up to regular people with good moral values than some cutesy, rich celebrity using their fame and $$ to try to politically bully people with crazy, unfair ultimatums. Get the DVD set of "LHOTP". Get the books, too. You won't regret it.

Ordered for my wife and found myself watching the episodes again. I have seen them on cable plenty of times. I was reminded how many life lessons are in this series. This series might be not right for everyone but it sure is right for us. Some might be upset that the church and religion is featured too much. I guess everyone has an opinion. There are successes and hardships in everyone’s life. It is what you do with them that shows ones true character. I do wish I had grown up w this series it would have taught me in a different way and reached me in a way no one at the time could. It is series like this and M*A*S*H which I did watch as a child. They and series like them IMO that helped me grow up. That’s my experiences and opinion. I do value series that show life a bit more honestly. Those 80’s sitcoms while nice just weren’t the same and didn’t honestly teach me a thing. They are very clear and nice to not have all of the commercials. It appears to be the whole series. It also has three movies and special features. Update it has skipped a couple of times and it didn’t seem to bother me as much as others. But I will reduce the rating now to four stars. I do still consider it a great value though.i put it back up to five as I tried it on a regular dvd and had no difficulties w it playing so far now.

It does not work on my Sony 4k player but it plays good on my Panasonic 4k player. I upgraded to the Blu-ray and it's the same Doesn't work on Sony all other 4k and Blu-ray discs play good on my Sony.

Can't go wrong with Little hose. Cd's were spotless.

Muy buena colección. Aunque es región 1, tiene el doblaje latino original que es lo que yo buscaba. Afortunadamente pude verla con el PS3, ya que no tengo reproductor región 1.

Top.

Great set as I am a huge little house on the prairie fan! Good purchase!

Love The DVDs. Brilliant And Wonderfull TV Shows. Thanks.
