I grew up with this show. Now with kids of my own (5 & 8) I wanted to find something we could watch as a family that wasn't too fast paced. I bought the Blu-Ray because:

1) It cost about the same as renting the streaming content. I prefer physical content.
2) Blu-Ray looks so much better than DVD. This is no exception. Little House never looked so good and the quality is nice on my 52" TV.

We started with the pilot which the kids did not enjoy. It's slow (in a good way), it introduces the characters and was more the length of a movie than a single TV episode. However, once we got to the regular season, they loved it! They fell in love with the characters and enjoyed learning about the "olden days". My son had "Pioneer Day" in his 2nd grade class, and watching Little House was one of the things he could do to learn about life in those days.

We're about 10 episodes in and now when we say that we're going to watch Little House, they say, "Yay!!" For the kids, they learn about what life used to be. We talk about the games they play and what they did to pass the time and compare it to what kids do today. We talk about the decisions that Charles makes for his family and how they all care for each other, have chores, etc. It's really a wonderful series that I am enjoying in a whole new way.

Once we're done with Season 1, we will certainly be purchasing Season 2.

This show is amazing and reminds us of how simple life used to be. You get to see the actors grow up, and although some of them leave the show, Melissa Gilbert sticks it out for the whole thing! One Warning: Be prepared to binge all 9 seasons & 3 movies!!!

Over the Easter holiday my grandson, Luke, made many references to LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE a book he was reading in his 4th grade class. I could see that the stories of the families' hardships and joys had really impressed him. I would be taking Luke home with with me to spend a few days of Spring Break. Luke, 9 going on 10, is full of energy and youthful curiosity. I wanted to keep him happy and interested in the world and stories of the folks who made this country great. Thanks to PRIME MAIL I was able to order the first years series to be delivered in two days and I
was also able to order it to watch on my Kindle Fire. Luke watched the 6 disc series as we returned to my home in Nevada City in the Sierra Nevada mountains. He was totally engrossed by the wonderful stories. Luke and I highly recommend LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRE season 1 to all the grandma's and to all the kids that are 9 going on 10.

Fun for the whole family. I also like that it teaches historical period information, such as what life was like in the frontier and Prarie including (at the beginning) Native American and European American relations, both self-sufficiency and also the value of community, how things were done back then living daily life, the development of cities, kindness toward neighbors and visitors, etc. And there are so many other gems to find. When my family can't find something we all agree on, we can always agree on this one. There is some content that may be a little heavy for littler ones (and even us after a stressful day): a man who beats his son (is obviously portrayed as villainous behavior), an alcoholic who sobers up but not before displaying some awful behaviors, etc. We enjoyed so many episodes, but when they started getting too heavy we took a break until the youngest could enjoy them as well, or chose a non-stressful day. They're still a classic for a reason.

When this show aired on TV, I was a teenager. Back then, WAY back then, I had all of my thoughts in the wrong direction. Yes, I was a typical teenager of the seventies!

Now, that I am much older, and MUCH wiser, I see how this show teaches many of life's values, then and today.

If you don't like the "lessons" of this series, you will enjoy all of the stars that it has in it! Even I was amazed to see all of the stars of the past and present that are in this series.

I was lucky to purchase most of this series when Amazon had it on sale for only $10 a season... I wished that I had purchased them all for this price but even at the current price, this is a good bargain.

I would recommend this to anyone that is tired of what the media has to offer today and would like some morality back into TV shows.

Great show + Great teaching = Great entertainment.

I bought this for my six year old daughter who is currently reading the Little House books and I thought she might enjoy watching the television series, as well. I remember these shows vaguely from my childhood as well. I knew they strayed from the books (of course they did --- the show ran so many seasons!), but this first season tries to kind of stick to the book. My daughter loves it, for what it's worth. I'd forgotten how cute some of these young actors were....little walk down nostalgia lane. Also strange to see such a "clean" show on television....you just don't see that these days anymore. (Man, now I sound old, lol!) Anyway....4 stars because I thought the price was a bit steep for something that you can watch on any cable channel (ie, Hallmark, etc) on reruns constantly. I was surprised this wasn't available on Amazon Prime, but I'm sure that is some kind of licensing thing. Worth the watch if you are willing to spend the money for the season.

I love this show is a classic and I do have the complete series so what I am going to by 14.00 for something that I have again I send it please to cancel and nothing the same with Jamestown and the horrible movie I and afraid to used the fire stick because this happen with that thank you.for char my especially when we are loosing our jobs and this pandemic that it feels like never ending.

I watched this as a little girl (it was my favorite show growing up). I have been hoping to catch reruns on TV and get my kids interested (6yr old boy and 3yr old girl). We've been reading chapters of Little House on the Prairie together, so I figured it was time to bite the bullet and buy a digital season through Prime (and I haven't bought a DVD for a long time, love having these available online - no way for little fingers to play with the discs and scratch them).

The quality of the videos is fantastic, and my kids are enthralled. Even my husband watches with us. It's a wholesome show, one that teaches you about hard work, family, friendship, and God. My 6 year old loves asking questions about 'the olden days' before electricity and running water were the norm.

So glad that I can share this show with my family!
