This season begins with the Ingalls family preparing for their third major migration, this one from Walnut Grove, Minnesota to Winoka, Dakota Territory, to accompany Mary to her new teaching job at a school for the blind. In almost no time at all, they're joined by the Garveys (whose presence serves to provide both protection for the Ingalls and education to the poor) and the Olesons. Upon arrival, they bring a vagrant youth into their circle, Albert. After their common employer, Mr. Standish comes on too strong, all three families return to Walnut Grove for a second chance; Albert is taken in by the Ingalls.
Before too long, Mary becomes engaged to mary her superior, Adam Kendall, has second thoughts, is brought to her senses during a freak storm and gets married. In due course, their school is closed, and the couple heads off to Walnut Grove with the students to start another school. Meanwhile, Albert is accepted as a true Ingalls, and he also begins his tactical campaign of playing practical jokes on the Olesons (as in "Harriet's Happenings" and "The Lake Kezia Monster"). Mary's pregnancy and tragic miscarriage exposes Adam's father for all his prejudices. Other members of the Ingalls and Garvey families, as well as Joe Kagen, face similar adversity from the Larabee family and come out of it mostly unharmed.
I've done searches on adjacent materials, and in the process, I found various postings that criticized Michael Landon for creating the character of Albert Ingalls. Forget what his creation did for the latter half of the series, or what a terrific job Matthew Laborteaux did in the portrayal. What I read looked to me as if people were furious with the liberties Michael took in bringing in a character who had nothing to do with Laura Ingalls Wilder's writings I for one appreciate the sheer entertainment value that a character like Albert gave to the show, especially when the family returned to Walnut Grove without Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson). The show definitely benefited from the creation of both Albert and Adam, as it had from the creations of Grace Sneider and the Sandersons.
It should be noted that there was a real Albert Ingalls who had a doctorate in astronomy. However, it is highly doubtful that this Albert has any real connection to the family line of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
It's great to be able to pause, and discuss parts. My daughter especially was having me pause more than I was. Michael Landon (God rest his soul) was a genius of a kind. No matter how often these are watched, either old lessons and values are reinforced or new ones are noticed and learned.
This great country was founded and grew up on the strong Christian values depicted so eloquently in this Little House series.

There are too many stories, too many characters, too many inconsistencies. Mary marries Adam, they conveniently move back to Walnut Grove with the token black character and all is happy days. The Godsister is awful as is the character of Toby Noe. It's a pity they didn't concentrate on Doc Baker, Rev Alden and other established and well loved characters.
If there were as many charaters in Walnut Grove as there were in this series, it would be the size of New York. The last episode in the season is rubbish, Albert (of course), Laura, Pa and some wee guy who has leukaemia all hitch a ride in a boxcar to see the ocean. When they get there who do they bump into but William Randolph Herst (what a coincidence).
The show is at it's best when it concentrates on the Ingalls family and including the Olesons. The Garveys add nothing and the series is seriously missing Mr Edwards.
Technically, it's pretty poor. The sound quality and picture quality in some of the episodes is awful. Full volume is required.
However, season 6 is on order so maybe we'll see some improvement.
The picture and sound quality on these DVDs are very good, and a big improvement on all previous DVD releases. Also, as far as I can tell, no scenes have been cut in this release. So the DVDs are a must for any serious fans. (Unless you are well off and can afford the Blu-Ray version, which is even better.)
With regard to the story, things changed quite a bit in Season 5, with Mary and Adam working at the blind school, the arrival of the orphan Albert, and baby Grace making an appearance now and then. Some people criticised this season as not being faithful to the books. (In real life, Mary Ingalls did not marry, and neither Adam nor Albert existed.) Personally, I don't mind, and I found Albert to be an interesting character.
The series opens with the Ingalls (and the Oelson's and the Garvey's) relocating to the big city Winoka because of economic problems plaguing Walnut Grove. Fortunately it happens to be very close to where Mary and Adam have their blind school and it's also the place the Ingalls would run into Albert, the orphan, who they would later adopt when they decide to return to Walnut Grove. While the Winoka episodes have some good points with plenty of drama, generally i have never quite been able to swallow the Ingalls enthusiasm for adopting Albert so readily or Mary and Adam's opening of a blind school. In fact it's the Mary and Adam storyline which i have found the most far fetched of any of the stories so far in the five series. Their wedding, Mary's pregnancy and the prospect of her regaining her sight are a little too far fetched for me to accept. They are really plot devices only, meant to grab the viewers attention to keep them watching and it is this sensationalist streak which gradually begins to cheapen (ever so slightly) the series resulting in obscuring a little some of the fine traits the series had managed to maintain during the early years.
However, series five also has some great episodes which deal with familiar topics such as 'The Man Inside' which deals with a man's rejection by his daughter because he is overweight, 'Fagin' where Laura feels rejected because Charles spend so much time with Albert, 'Dance With Me' which retells the story of two lonely people getting together. There are also a number of great episodes highlighting Harriet Oelson in a comedic light - 'Harriet's Happenings' being one of the most memorable.
Season five is occasionally epic in tone and also a little heavy handed with its moralising where a lighter touch like in previous seasons would have been more benefical, and perhaps a little far fetched in places but it is never boring however absurd one or two of the plots seem
(especially 'The Godsister'). However, i won't deny i yearn for the earlier days when things were a little more simplistic, warmhearted and down to earth and less sensationalised.
The picture quality here is not quite up to the standard on series three and four and the sound is a little inferior, too. There are, however, two very interesting extras - interviews with Dabbs Greer (who plays Reverand Alden) and Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oelson) which is a treat for all fans.
For whatever its shortcomings season five is still highy recommended.
