Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

kellyjhousman This show ended when I was 5, but I watched once it went into syndicate. I remember watching and being transported in their world, and learning so much about life and relationships. I watched again as an adult and I still love every episode! I done care who you are, if you can get past all the white people, and focus on the relationships, you'll find a show that is worth your time.

Camelot_2000 This show is a classic. It delved deep into emotions with a lot of crying and dramatic moments. It touched upon an intimacy that was never shown in other programs like it before. I also haven't watched another series that captured things quite like this one did.There's emotional moments everywhere and kind heartiness throughout. I can't think of one person who I watched this show with in childhood who hasn't cried in one way or another. It had a powerful impact and did it by touching on sensitive feelings that we often feel ourselves.My dad used to call it the "cry baby" show which it was, but at the same time, it delivered good messages about faith, humanity and "love thy neighbour". I have to admit the father/son relationship between Albert and Charles was a major highlight. Charles always showed his caring and loving parental skills, but the time when he helped Albert get "detoxed" from his morphine addiction, was a powerful moment indeed. There was also the deeply moving relationship between Laura and "Pa" which made it plainly clear how much she looked up to him. There was also the bad side of the show and focuses on such arrogant characters as Mrs. Oleson. Her snobby, discriminatory attitude was evident, but at the same time, she could also show a kind side. I have to admit, I found her money hungry antics entertaining and how she always got her "just desserts" for her negativity. It was also good that the kindly Mr. Oleson was there to act as the "conscious" and balance between good and evil in his marriage to Harriet. The townsfolk were just as unforgettable as well, with the likes of the jovial Mr. Edwards and the "I-always-have-bad-news" Doctor Baker. Reverend Aldin was also a treat as the kindly church preacher helping the Walnut Grove population with their numerous troubles. He was a major anchor in hero township and always made sure everyone followed the proper path.I recently bought the Season 9 DVD from a second hand store and, I have to admit, the show was still good under "Little House - A New Beginning". It just wasn't the same though after Charles and family pulled up stakes and moved to the city. The Carter family taking over the "little house" just never felt right though John Carter was sexy stuff indeed. Regardless of that, he couldn't quite capture the magic of the Charles Ingalls era.Nothing can ever beat the pure dramatic flare of this show. It touched upon so many tragedies and social issues of the day and showed it with powerful drama. I highly recommend it.

ringling123 What can I say? I', an older 42 year old guy who basically can't stand all the new reality TV these days. It makes one really appreciate what a "real quality show is". Little House on the Prairie is an absolute classic TV series drama that was acted and directed completely by professionals. Moving episodes that made you laugh, cry, touched your heart and mind and kind of made one want to be a better person after watching. There aren't any TV shows that can do that these days(few exceptions). The characters, TV sets, music, and stories were all first rate. The morals of the stories were very clear and acted to perfection. (Talk about our old default TV shows!!). What I mean by default is that you the viewer were pretty much guaranteed to be entertained without fail with this TV show. One could hardly say that today with all the "crap" out there nowadays. You can clearly see this show was from a "different era" where honesty and integrity were at the core of the Mr. Landon's Values. Find this on DVD, keep it. An absolute "must" for any collector of the best of classic television shows. 10 out of 10

sumana-m21 I absolutely love watching the "Little House on the Prairie". Every short story has some moral behind it. If you like nostalgic shows with very powerful meaning being sent across to you, you will like this one! I haven't read the books which this is based on, but I simply cannot imagine how good the books must be. Every character plays an awesome role in the 1974 show, Micheal Landon, Karen Grassle, Melissa Gilbert, Melissa Sue Anderson. All of them are truly amazing on screen, including the seemingly rude characters played by Scottie MacGregor(Harriet Oleson), Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson)and Allison Balson (Nancy Oleson ). This show is good for all ages from 5 and up, but I think it's best watched as an adult simply because you feel so nostalgic and connected with all of the characters. I highly recommend this show to anyone! I give it a 9/10, one point less only because I need to give the book all honors for coming up with the stories a 10/10.
