DVD and BLU-RAY Info LHOTP

I'm not a film editor, but it seems to me that if you need more commercial time, cut out scenes of a wagon coming down the street, or a sunset, or a scene not integral to the telling of the story.......I really don't need to see a long shot of Charles talking to a farmer when I could hear a heartfelt conversation between he and Jonathon......

They need to get the remastered episodes into syndication and take the above advice and only edit out non-talking scenes whenever time must be cut for commercials.  I believe if the remastered episodes were in syndication, Little House would get a whole new generation of fans.  I'm not sure about Hallmark since Uverse hasn't had it since 2010, but the episodes on INSP look downright horrible on HDTVs and channel surfers coming across it probably keep on surfing.  The remastered episodes look best in HD, but would show a huge improvement in picture quality even on non-HD channels.

Well said!

Thank you posting some still shots, Dave. I like the one of Albert.

Your welcome Shell......I watched I Remember yesterday...........Remember when Charles gets beat up on the way to the dance by Harold Watson and his friend......well, he looks worse in Hi Def...LOL!

I am tempted at getting all of them for $39.00 from VUDU.
Did you guys get HD or HDX?

Here's another sad example of a key scene left out of an episode. "Fight Team Fight". It's a scene between Dan Elerbee (James Jarnigan) and his Mother after Albert broke his ribs while losing the football game. Unbelievable that they cut this.........

Hey Carol,
Toby bought HDX from VUDU. I'm just getting a few episodes from Amazon to look for deleted scenes. Hopefully, soon, I'll be able to find the HD remastered DVD's in an actual store...........

I got HDX.   Here are the differences.  

HDX - 1080p
HD - 720p
SD - 480p

The only reason I could see not to watch it in 1080p is if your HDTV is only 720P, but you should still get HDX because you are allowed to watch it in any of the three modes if you own it in HDX.

Here are some Vudu HDX screenshots from The Lord is My Shepherd.  

Can someone post a pic of Mary beating up a guy in Freedom Flight ? It was a deleted scene . I hope more dvds and blu rays come out.

Thanks Toby!

Today I watched "May We Make Them Proud". In part one there is an extra scene where Clay is talking Albert into smoking the pipe...............



No real big deal, but when I watched Part Two, I got a real shock! A totally new opening scene! Albert is almost to the point of totally breaking down when Charles asks him to go to town with him instead of watching Mary. He literally screams at Charles and tells him he doesn't want to go. The scene lasts for a good two minutes.......In the old DVDS the first scene opens up when they are already in town and Albert gets the music box for Mary. I've seen Matt play some upset scenes, but this one was a real shocker.......Even for May We Make Them Proud.........Should have never been deleted......

Deleted scene from "He Was Only Twelve" Part 1 _ Albert feeling guilty about James being shot. Charles consoles him during their hunt for the outlaws.

I hope so, but I went ahead and bought the digital copies because of my impatience and the super low price. If they release the rest of the remastered seasons on Blu-ray/DVD, I will still buy them on Blu-ray even though I own the digital copies of all the seasons.

Deleted scene from "Goodbye Mrs. Wilder". Laura has returned to teaching and Harriet is in the storeroom straightening inventory. She gets on him for not keeping the inventory straight while she was teaching. Just before final classroom scene........

Please tell me if I am right about this but Season 4 of Little House on the Prairie : I'll Be Waving as You Drive Away part 1 had a deleted scene of Charles telling Caroline that Mary is going blind released in other countries but not the USA .It was an emotional and really good scene .

You are correct...A very emotional and heartfelt scene, not seen in over 35 years........Another key deleted scene!

There are actually two back to back scenes that were deleted from "Angry Heart" DVD's and TV Syndication. These two scenes happen directly after Tod is shown sitting on his bed with his head in his hands after pushing his Grandfather to the floor. Then there is a commercial on TV and the next scene is the picnic at the Ingalls where Tod steals the watch. The uncut story goes to the mercantile where Charles is picking up his Father's watch that Nels has had worked on. Tod's grandparents walk in and tells Nels they are looking for a razor and shaving mug for Tod. Then Charles invites them to the picnic.

The next scene is at the Grandparents house where Tod comes down after shaving and thanks them for the razor and mug. They invite Tod to church and the picnic to be held afterwards. He angrily says that he "doesn't do church" and he doesn't want to be treated like a child. Finally, he turns at the door and asks if he can just go to the picnic. The picnic scene follows.
