Little House Years

I'm not sure everyone remembers this tv film. While everybody knows about the other four telefilms the pilot and the three post series films which ended the series in 1984 i'm not sure everyone remembers this forgotten 1979 season 6 tv movie which was aired in november 1979 and in between season 6 episodes 9 and 10.

U don't have to watch all nine first season 6 episodes to watch this gem as it's a clips compilation of the earlier little house first 5 seasons and in particular u get two hours of around only five story clips from the dozens which happened in first five seasons and only like 10 minutes in total of new footage showing the family in the house remembering the past stories. All in all this tv movie is not saying much if u have seen the earlier seasons but it's a must have for the fans just because it has the best music little house opening and ending theme which is even better if that's possible from the original divine theme by david rose. Sadly there is no official dvd release of this film and i never understood the reason for this. All other four films were released so why they forgot about this film ? U can only get this as bootleg copy. I only hope someday they will release an official dvd copy and finally a cd soundtrack with the great rose little house music themes.

I have always been a big fan of this show. I have watched reruns so often, I can almost say the lines with the actors. One thing I must have missed was whatever happened to Albert. I know he was supposed to have a fatal disease. But the last show I saw him in was when they were having a town celebration and he and Laura climbed the mountain along with all the school children. I know he made it to the top, and that was where the episode ended. There was at least one more special after that where they all blew up the buildings in the town, but they never mentioned Albert and how, when or if he died. Did I miss it? Or was it just supposed to be understood?

Little house on The Prairie and the movies are all excellent movies for all ages to enjoy. I can never get enough of that show and watch it back to back in the morning on TBS. I would love to go back to their days and see what they had to go through compared to the way things are done today. It's to bad they didn't give the part of Carrie a bigger part. She was such a cute little girl. It's a shame that Michael L. and Victor French passed away. It would be great if there was a reunion and had the orginal cast members come back including, Carrie, Nelly, Willie, and everybody else who helped make LHOTP the big success it has and always will be.

I always wondered myself whatever happened to Albert. After that episode with him and Laura climbing up the hill and he making it to the top, I never saw him again. Did I too miss something? Did he die or did he get better and went off to be a doctor? If anyone saw anything beyond the hill episode please let those of us who missed it know. I never get tired of watching the re-runs. I watch them over and over. They contain many timeless truths that if many of them are applied to this day and age we will all be the better for it. Excellent source of family values. Young people should watch these series. Michael Landon Jr. should be proud of his father's work and the timeless legacy that he left behind which can relate to all generations both present and future.

I'm really surprised all the reviewers on here rated this so favorably. It's a clip episode. A very long clip episode (well, three hour movie to be precise). No matter how much I like a series, I'm not enthusiastic about watching a bunch of recaps of other episodes.
