Little People Big World - Season 1 (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm going to let you in on a little secret...I hate reality television. Come to think of it, television programming in general has been on a fast decline for awhile now. It has become (at least for me) increasingly difficult to find something to watch without becoming bored. Reality T.V. is laced with too much ham, sitcoms are unbearably lame, and action shows are just insulting to my intelligence. With all this worthless debris cluttering the television waves it was a blessing to find Matt Roloff and his family.
Being a fan of the show and not wanting to spend $21.95 on the outrageously priced individual episode DVDs I found myself playing the waiting game for a full season DVD to grace the local department store shelves. Today the wait was over...
Season One is a three disc DVD set, the only downside to this is the packaging. It is made entirely of recycled cardboard with the DVDs having to be "slipped" in and out of place. A nice improvement would have been a plastic backing for the discs to sit in...this way the DVDs wouldn't have to rub against the cardboard everytime the discs are removed and returned to the case.
I was also surprised to see that out of the 20 episodes included in this set the pilot episode, entitled "Little People, Big Dreams" was absent. This is particularly important because this was the hour long episode that introduced us to the Roloff family back in March of 2005. I don't understand why this episode is excluded from this set considering the significance it carried.
Little People, Big World (Season One) gets a well-deserved 4 stars. Although the case was somewhat generic and the pilot epsiode missing I found the rest of the DVD set very well put together and the price very reasonable.
