Little House a winner
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I grew up watching Michael Landon, first in 'Bonanza', then in 'Little House'. Little House on the Prairie is an outstanding example of wholesome entertainment that the entire family can enjoy. I'm a grown man, but almost every episode brings tears to my eyes. As a Director, Michael Landon knows how to push the right buttons. The values presented are also outstanding. Faith is given a prominent place in almost every episode. They also tackle issues such as racism, child abuse, alcoholism, and other social issues, many of which still plauge societies today...always in compassionate and humane manner. The moral fiber of the main characters is exemplary. I think little house is a beloved series because, even though it's an idealistic and romantic vision of life on the prairie in the late eighteen hundreds, there is enough of the real trials of life presented to always keep it interesting. Little house is a true family show. I only wish there were more shows like it, and that Hollywood cared more about promoting the kind of character and values displayed by most of the risidents of Walnut Grove. Michael Landon was one of a kind. I purchased the entire Little house collection, the pilot, the nine seasons, and the post productions so that my kids can enjoy it just like I did! It's a big hit with my family, and that includes my teenagers. That a Western, which is really what Little House is, can still be so popular in todays world of Star Wars and nonstop action movies, says alot. I expect Little House will be just as popular with my grandkids too! I'm so glad it was made available on DVD.
