Review: This review refers to the Goodtimes 2pack DVD edition of "Little House on the Prairie: The Premiere Movie/Remember Me"......Fans of Little House will love these two sentimental favorite episodes that Goodtimes has put together in one great package.They are both wonderful examples of why this wholesome and inspiring series touched us 30 years ago and still touch us today. "The Premiiere Movie" was the made for TV pilot, that introduced us to the Ingalls family and their quest to make a better life for themselves.The harrowing adventures, the love and joy, the tears and laughter as they journey from the 'Big Woods' of Wisconsin searching for a place to call home, will have you all choked up one minute and grinning ear to ear the next.You'll also meet Jack the dog, and Mr. Edwards for the first time and even they will have you laughing and crying. This one is feature length and runs 1hour 38 min(and you wont have to sit through any commercials). The next is the very emotional "Remember Me". Oscar winner Patricia Neal("Hud") guest stars in this double length episode as a widow who learns she is terminally ill. She has three young children and turns to Charles to help her find a home for them.Charles promises to keep the children together, but fulfilling the promise proves difficult.The answer is out there..can Charles find it? This is one of the most touching episodes of all, so have the Kleenex handy for this one.It runs about an hour and a half. The cast includes Michael Landon(Pa),Karen Grassle(Ma),Melissa Gilbert(Laura), Melissa Sue Anderson(Mary),Bonnie Bartlett(the widow Snyder) and the wonderful Victor French as Mr. Edwards.The series is based on the "Little House" books by Laura Ingalls Wilder and are a great way to spend family time together. Although these vintage episodes are nearly 30 years old, they stand the test of time and will always remain a great part of TV history. The DVD transfers of this classic series by Goodtimes is very good. Some occasional flickering, but overall a nice clear view with good color and sound.These two episodes are also sold individually or you can purchase "The Premiere Movie" in a four pack which also includes "The Lord is My Shepherd",a double length episode guest starring Ernest Borgnine,"The Collection", guest starring Johnny and June Cash, and "Laura Ingalls Wilder", also a double length. If you are a really big fan or know someone who is, you can even purchase entire seasons(1,2 and 3) just released to DVD(not Goodtimes, but also very nice transfers). Season 1 does not include the pilot episode, so you would still have to purchase that one separately. Share these wonderfully touching and inspiring clasics with a new generation!....enjoy...Laurie
