5.0 out of 5 stars Season 6 Episode Guide, July 20, 2004

By	Jamie Teddy - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Season 6 introduces us to Ms Wilder, Almonzo and Perley Wilder, Nels Oleson's sister Annabelle, Caroline's father, and Nellie's future husband Percival. Season 6 contains 23 episodes and some of the best Little House on the Prairie episodes ever! It also contains some of the biggest tear-jerker episodes ever. I must admit, the quality of the sound and picture is not what I had hoped it would be. Very poor quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've Been Looking Forward to This Season, October 11, 2004

By	KittyKins "KittyKins" - See all my reviews

This is one of my all time favourite seasons of Little House on the Prairie which ran from 1979 to 1980, and I've been looking forward to getting this one for some time. This is the season when we first meet Almanzo Wilder(Manny) and the beginning of Laura's crush which really was love at first sight. Almanzo doesn't know she exists which leads to some very interesting predicaments. Who could forget the Cinnamon Chicken with a little extra spice or Almanzo 'rescuing' "Beth" (Laura Elizabeth) from Nellie? The season climax is the resolution for Laura's love for Almanzo which is really quite sweet. Melissa Gilbert grows up before our eyes during this season, but we have to wait until the 7th season before they get married. This is also the season when Rev. Alden gets married, and also when, through the episode of Annabelle, that they tackle the sensitive issue of being overweight and loving someone for what they have on the inside. I am hoping that the 3 part Thanksgiving series will also be included with this DVD. I am glad to see that there are some extra features as well. Thank you to Jamie for listing all the episodes.

Aug. 2006: When I wrote this review I did not realize that parts of the episode "Sweet 16" have been omitted in this dvd release. They also didn't include the Thanksgiving 3-part series, "The Little House Years". LHOTP fans deserve better. It makes me wonder what else they cut out and it is most disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars CUT!, October 28, 2004

By	bbnibs "bbnibs" (portland, oregon) - See all my reviews

I have waited SOOO long for this season to come out. It is the best season with my absolute all time favorite episode, "Sweet Sixteen." I can still remember watching that episode for the first time. I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was that this episode is edited from its original airing. There are three scenes missing, they are small, but key! The one where Laura buys her shoes (with heels to make her look taller and older) and the one where she is determined to learn to walk in them! This is important because not too long after that we realize that it worked! Almonzo takes notice of her and she looks down at her shoes and tucks them uderneath her. I was really hoping that when the DVDs were released they would show the COMPLETE episodes and not the "edited for TBS" versions. I'm bummed.
