DVD and BLU-RAY Info LHOTP

Right, just a slight difference.

Bad news I found another missing scene from Child Of Pain when Ma looks at Pa in church to try and help Graham father. It skips to Ma talking to Graham outside there house. On the old DVDs it shows Graham inside the house sitting on the floor petting Jack and the girls were setting the table for supper. They were talking about having chicken pie for dinner. This is on the old DVDs from aims idiom not on the new ones from Lions Gate that's the 3rd missing scene now from season 1. Makes me so mad I just wish was a truly uncut version available to watch.

On Family Quarrel on the old DVD set. When they show the end titles it has Laura jumping up in the air and then coming back down that was not on the new Blu Rays either. That's not a big issue though. So almost done with season 1 4 more to go now.

It doesn't surprise me that the Blu-ray has missing scenes from Child of Pain since it is the only season 1 episode where the old DVD has a longer run time (48:54) than the Blu-ray (48:04). I don't know why they would intentionally leave scenes out unless some of the film they used for the restoration was damaged and not usable. In the season 4 Blu-ray, the opening credits of I'll Be Waving as You Drive Away: Part 2 are in SD while the rest of the episode is in HD which leads me to believe that the original film elements for the opening were damaged.

The only other season 1 episodes that were even close in run times were The Circus Man (old DVD 48:52, Blu-ray 49:06) and Money Crop (old DVD 48:54, Blu-ray 49:06), which were the episodes right before and right after Child of Pain. I didn't do comparisons to see if the Blu-rays were missing scenes in those, but I suspect that those three episodes weren't sped up like the rest of the season 1 episodes were and that Child of Pain was the only one of the three missing scenes on the Blu-ray.

I'm still happy with the restored versions because of the unbelievable picture quality and because it seems that the number of scenes that have been added far outweighs the amount of scenes that have been found to be missing. I am curious if there are scenes from any other seasons missing on the Blu-rays but I haven't even done run time comparisons on any episodes outside of season 1 yet.

I'm very happy so with Blu ray vision. It's so crisp and new then the old versions. Just disappointed that's it's not truly uncut that's all. I watch Money Crop and Survival today. I know those were full uncut episodes. I just question To See The World and Founder's Day. i will try and watch them this week.

Hey Gin!

I splurged when I got to Alabama and bought a 55" Ultra Hi Def Smart TV with a curved screen. Purchased the entire season on VUDU, so I can stream them right to the television.....The picture is Incredible! Looks like they shot it yesterday......

Awesome!  By the way, what TV is it?  By any chance, does it have Auto Motion Plus (that's what it's called on Samsung, not sure on other TV)?
Turning that on looks like you are actually on the set watching the series being filmed, it's crazy!! lol  I love it

I finish season 1 with To See the World and Founder's Day. Was 2 or 3 scenes on To See The World that the old DVDs didn't have. Founders Day had the full scenes. Started with season 2 everything is the same for The Richest Man in Walnut Grove.

Chris

Good! At least I know that nothing is missing from my favorite episode!

I plan to pick up one of the seasons in the remastered DVD format soon. I get free gift cards from using my credit card and I almost have enough points to get a gift card. I have to decide what season to get first, right now I am thinking season 1.

Took this pic directly off TV yesterday.....VUDU HDX......"Harriet's Happenings" Awesome quality!


And One From "As Long As Were Together"

You are making me very excited to get my first remastered DVD set...

Right! I plan to order it the middle of April... I think it is going to be season one. I am so excited!

I finished season 2 of Little House I think it's safe to say I think it was all uncut through season 2. It had the scenes from Remember Me that wasn't on the older DVDs. I seen them before on TV years ago. I would have it at least 90 percent everything was there in season 2.

Anyone have both the remastered DVDs and Blu-ray? I saw the picture comparisons that Toby posted back a number of pages and it seems the Blu-ray is a little sharper than the remastered DVDs. But it is hard to tell from the picture alone. Anyway, I plan to pick up my first remastered DVD set very soon... it's still way better than the old DVDs, plus you get the deleted scenes!

I don't have a Blu-ray player, so unfortunately that isn't an option. I am just wondering if anyone has found the differences between the two very noticeable.

Everybody has their own opinion....Personally, I think Blu Ray is way over rated.......And I've said this before. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU AR WATCHING IT ON.........................

I have a Blu Ray player on a Hi Def Smart TV.........Blu Ray players enhance DVD's..........In my mind when watching them. and I've watched both, there is very little difference...........

But that s just one person's opinion.......

Thanks Dave... I actually watch them on my computer, and I am not going to pay for a Blu-ray player and all too. If you think there is little difference between the remastered DVDs and the Blu-ray, I trust your opinion.

This is a pic of Willie in "May I Have This Dance". It is Not Blu Ray.....Remastered Hi Def......I don't know how you get better....



Albert  May We Make Them Proud

That's all the remastered DVD? That is very good... no, you can't get better than that! Thanks, I am sure I won't be disappointed!

I'm on season 3 now. I have seen the first 6 episodes. The Collection, Bunny, The Race, Little Girl Lost, The Monster of Walnut Grove and Part 1 of Journey in the Spring. There are a few missing scenes from The Monster of Walnut Grove that are not on the old set. One with Laura downstairs talking to ma and ma saying we had your favorite meat pie for supper and custard pie for dessert. But ma said you didn't eat much at all. And then Laura brings up about Mr. Oleson cutting off Mrs. Oleson's head then it picks up from there like the old DVDs did. So far I think everything is there in season 3 that I have seen. It's so much brighter and clearer on The Monster of Walnut Grove the old one was so dark and hard to see some of the scenes at night. You can see the Owl in this new version. When Laura and Carl were waiting for Willie to put the candle in the window.

I just pre-ordered season 5. I can hardly wait to get it and see all the missing scenes and that cutie Albert.
