The
Ninth
and Final Season
of Little
House On The Prairie
closes out the epic tale with the bittersweet decision for the
Ingalls, who decide to live their home behind to find work and move
to Iowa, there they see many changes a new life. This was the 82/83
Season and stars Melissa Gilbert, Dean Butler, Victor French,
Jonathan Gilbert, Shannon Doherty (!), and Richard Bull. Lionsgate
has done a great job once again with this Little House release, each
episode remastered, restored, and looking better than the previous
2005 release on DVD.
The
set includes 21 episodes including Times
Are Changing (Part 1), Times Are Changing (Part 2), Welcome to
Olesonville, Rage, Little Lou, The Wild Boy (Part 1), The Wild Boy
(Part 2), The Return of Nellie, The Empire Builders, Love, Marvin's
Garden, Sins of the Fathers, The Older Brothers, Once Upon A Time,
Home Again (Part 1), Home Again (Part 2), A Child With No Name, The
Last Summer, For the Love of Blanche, May I Have This Dance?,
and Hello
and Goodbye.
Remastered
and represented in standard definition with the original 1.33:1 Full
Screen aspect ratio and an English 2.0 Dolby Digital Audio track
that's an improvement over the original broadcast recording. A
Digital Copy also included. A Blu-ray edition is also available and
would be of better quality if our past Blu-ray coverage of the series
is any indication. The only extra is the Movie Special: Bless
All The Children.
The
absence of Michael Landon does kind of hurt the series and it's
always sad to see a good thing go, but this edition of Little
House on the Prairie
is a must for fans of the season and rounds out a nice collection put
out by Lionsgate. Check out reviews for previous seasons elsewhere
on this site.
