This was one of the best pilot episodes of any series of that decade that was made it gave a background story to how they moved from the Big woods and on the way to Walnut Grove. You meet Mr Edwards for the first time and wouldn't be the last.
So if you had bought the first season and did'nt realise that the pilot wasn't part of it then go and buy as it is part of the series and it was up to Micheal Landan's perfection

The 'sound' quality of this DVD is very poor ! !
I have to turn the volume control on my TV as high as it will go and there are still sections in which I can not hear or distinguish what is being said.

Thanks so much for the great show. I only wish the world had more of this kind of entertainment. If you are what you eat this certainly applies to what we feed on mentally. What a wonderful world this would be if everyone fed on quality values such as these.

I purchased this item on Amazon a few days before Christmas, hoping that it would arrive before the tree came down, and it did.
I am a rabid raccoon of a "Little House" fan and this is a must for any afficionado. It's the story of the Ingalls family boiled down to bare bones: heart, love, courage and faith. The disk is a little skimpy on the extras, but who needs extras when there are so many memories that come pouring forth the minute the DVD starts to play. Remember when the Ingalls girls were young? They were never younger than in the Pilot. Remember when Karen Grassle pretty much cemented herself as the prettiest Ma on the wild frontier? She was never more radiant than in this introductory episode. And remember when you believed in Santa Claus? You'll believe again in the spirit of Christmas when Mr. Edwards appears at the Ingalls' door, frost-bitten and determined to bring the girls Christmas presents, no matter the weather.
The DVD does contain a bit of trivia I never knew. The actor who had been cast as Charles Ingalls was late to the set on the first day of shooting, so Michael Landon, who was supposed to have been just the executive producer of the show, filled in for him. I don't know who the man who could have been Pa was, and I cannot imagine the show without Michael Landon's gentle presence as the Ingalls patriarch. He made the series in so many ways, even as it plowed toward the melodramatic at times.
You'll watch this with tears glistening in ... Read More
