Not collectors quality but great to watch and then resell
Rewatching this series has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a little over a year now. I first started watching seasons 1 to 5 on Netflix, but then Netflix inexplicitely pulled season 5 forcing me to buy the set to indulge my addiction. It's great coming home after work and watching something that doesn't assault the senses and it's also just great to relive childhood memories of watching the show. BUT, I do have to say that what everyone is saying about the DVD quality it true. The transfers have gotten so progressively worse that at this point it is just insulting to fans to call this a "collector's edition". It's more like a "let's make a quick buck" edition to the producers of these DVDs. It's rumoured netflix pulled season 5 due to quality complaints and now in watching season 6 it's much worse. Many episodes sound and look worse than on the original broadcasts. The studio who is producing these obviously doesn't care or in reality do not own the original proof recordings. Also, the "special features" are a joke in season 6, they just reinvite back the same people and the interviewer is indeed beyond creepy. Where is Melissa Gilbert and Karen Grassle? Why haven't they agreed to appear in the extras? Once I'm done watching these discs I plan on doing the same thing that I did with season 5, post it right back up on Amazon for sale for another fan to buy and enjoy.

Fantastic values combined with outstanding entertainment. Hey what more do you want!
Strong story telling with strong moral values seems to be a dying art. Fortunately, DVDs like this Little House series mean you and your family can enjoy and benefit whenever it's convenient from the great messages and lessons this stellar series provides. Especially if you have children this is a fantastic moral values teaching tool, while being highly entertaining.It's great to be able to pause, and discuss parts. My daughter especially was having me pause more than I was. Michael Landon (God rest his soul) was a genius of a kind. No matter how often these are watched, either old lessons and values are reinforced or new ones are noticed and learned.This great country was founded and grew up on the strong Christian values depicted so eloquently in this Little House series.

Nice quality, nice price, and a real space saver too!
Another season added to my larder. Real nice quality and great packaging. Why all the hoopla about the packaging? Because when they first released the series on DVD, it was all flash. A whole lot of plasticc and nothing more. Now two seasons of the newly released series equal one in terms of how much room they take up. That's always a nice deal if you get what you want and save space too.

Could be Better
The quality of these DVDs are the best but if you're a Little House fan and desperate to have constant marathons of it at home like me then this is for you. Yes the picture isn't of quality, the sound is too low at times, and the case for the DVDs doesn't hold them well at all but I settled for this because I don't see a lot of other choices out there. I might not have looked in the right places though but this is an old series so you can't expect the greatest of quality. If you are a very picky person then I just suggest you wait until they come out with a set that is of better future quality. The seller was fine of course.

As long as you're happy to turn off Dutch subtitles this is great!
As with all of the other seasons I bought, this came in a Dutch box with Dutch titles and automatically plays with Dutch subtitles that you have to turn off each time. Otherwise the classic remains unchanged! Love watching them in all these years later.

The Remastered DVD is excellent
The remastered series of DVDs, released by Lionsgate, are a big improvement on all previous DVD releases.This season is the one where Laura meets her future husband, Almanzo. One for the romantics out there!

A Vast Improvement
Season 6 is a vast improvement on season 5. There is more character development. We see half-pint Laura grow into a young woman finding love with Almanzo. Each programme that concentrates on the Ingalls family is very good. Melissa Gilbert is superb as Laura and I've yet to see a TV family gel as well as the Ingalls. Each actor lives the part. We also see more development of the Olesons which is very good. Some of the stories are poor and there is a degree of inconsistency but all in all Season 6 is back to a standard we come to expect of Little House.Technically, the picture quality and sound are a vast improvement on previous DVD releases and there are extras of interviews with cast members.
