Little
House On The Prairie's epic story continues on home video with
this exceptional release of the classic television series by
Lionsgate. Spanning 22 episodes, this limited edition collection has
fully restored picture and sound as well as a ton of new extras that
are a must for fans of the series. This Eighth Season was
produced by star Michael Landon during 1981 & 1982 and follows
Laura's family through many exciting real life struggles.
Nellie
and Percival must move to New York and the Oleson's adopt Nancy. Dr.
Ledoux moves to Walnut Grove and proves, beyond a doubt, that he
deserves the community's respect. Charles and Nels become concerned
when the children of the town are influenced by a daredevil to
attempt dangerous stunts. Mr. Edwards loses his son and enlists the
aid of Charles to investigate the real circumstances behind his
death. The Ingalls and the Wilders share cherished memories when
they are snowed in at Christmas. Charles and Caroline risk losing
James and Cassandra when an uncle files for custody of the children.
Laura and Almanzo's budding marriage faces serious difficulties
following Almanzo's terrible stroke. When James is shot and lapses
into a coma, Charles turns his to his faith in order to save his
adopted son.
Presented
in standard definition with a 1.33:1 full frame aspect ratio and a
sharp, lossy English 2.0 Mono Dolby Digital Audio mix, the picture
and image push the boundaries of DVD but, as with anything, would
benefit to a high def update the way most earlier seasons were issued
and are reviewed elsewhere on this site. A Digital Copy of all
episodes are also included.
Extras
include:
Interviews
with Dean Butler and Dabbs Greer
Laura's
Long Winters Documentary
Laura
Ingalls Wilder Historic Site Tour
Season
8 Trivia Challenge
This
season is fantastic and a great addition to your collection!
