Little House on the Prairie series 1

It's like being on an emotional see-saw!
I first saw this series as a child back in the 70's and I cannot remember it affecting me emotionally then.
Filled with excellent characters, great stories, lots of tears.
The programme centres on the Ingalls family, (Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote the books)headed by Charles, his wife Carolyn and their 3 daughters Mary Laura and Carrie.
This series brings the Ingalls family to Walnut Grove where they adjust to farming life and handle all adversities that come their way.
One of the best stories was where Laura was jealous of her new baby brother and when the baby died suddenly and Laura saw how unhappy her parents were she blamed herself and climbed one of the mountains in order to be 'closer to God' where she would offer herself for the life of her brother.
Melissa Gilbert as Laura is sensational throughout the series.
Thought provoking stuff, lots of morals, and kids who know how to behave, in a caring for others backdrop...
On the downside, the dvd quality is not overly brilliant.
The colours fade in and out at times, and the sound is low.
But this aside the programme is great family entertainment, and I would recommend it.
