Format:DVD
Finally out on DVD in the UK, this season of Little House on the Prairie is a pleasure to have in my DVD collection! Yes, there are no special features and the picture quality isn't perfect, but I for one believe that the sound quality on this season is far better than in season 1 and 2! All in all I have no regrets in purchasing this item and look forward to rewatching these classic episodes many times.

Format:DVD
If 'Little House On The Prairie's first season was a fine introducton to all the main characters and season two developed their warm chemistry to a greater degree then season three's strength is consolidating those fine earlier efforts into making the characters we all know and love even more heartwarming.
There are those familiar themes running through each episode of season three - including family values, hardship, justice, prejudice, equality etc. which, like the first two seasons are told in such a wonderfully effective way. There are episodes dealing with racial prejudice - 'Injun Kid', 'The Wisdom Of Solomon', prejudice in general - 'The Music Box','The Election' and also the hardship of living in those times - 'Quarantine' and the need to find wealth to survive - 'Gold Country'.
Not all the episodes are so serious, however. 'The Monster Of Walnut Grove' is hilarious although not for Laura who believes Mr Oleson has cut off his wife's head and 'Fred' which is about a billy goat with an annoying habit!
It's this mixture of drama and a touch of comedy which makes 'Little House On The Prairie' such a compelling series to watch and it's also something which seems so hard to find these days. The stories are all incredibly strong and so well acted.
There has been quality issues with regard to the first two series DVD's sound/picture quality released in the UK. I'm not quite sure whether the US versions come from the same source but this version of season three is distinctly better - both in picture quality and sound. However, there are times when scenes are cut rather abruptly. Also, two of the episodes are shown in the wrong order - 'The Race' and 'Bunny' which is unfortunate as the stories follow on from each other. Also, any UK resident buying needs a DVD player compatable with the US market to play this DVD.
I'd be hard pushed to find another tv series which is so consistently great - 'Little House On The Prairie' is pure quality.
