this isnt really a review more of a question i was wondering if any one knows if these dvds come with subtitles on them as my boyfriends mum is deaf so would require subtitles on them

I watched this in my youth, a long time ago and it still has great appeal.
The story of a frontier family, their everyday struggles and the values they used to overcome.
At times it verges towards the over simplistic and cheesy, but as entertainment that any member of the family can watch, it can't be beaten.

I remember this series from my childhood and it is as good as I remember. The stories are great.

On the note of DVD quality, it isn't great. Some of the episodes are of pretty poor sound quality whereas others are like new. And there are no subtitles. But these are just little gripes.

A highly entertaining series. I've now ordered series 2. Oh, if only life were that simple.

Sorry to have to say it, but the sound quality of this DVD is very poor. I'm not sure how they've managed to ruin it so completely. I have to turn up the volume SO high to hear what's being said, that the hum of the TV almost drowns out the dialogue.

This very elevated series is probably unique in that the stories do not decline but generally become better in each subsequent episode. And if Michael Landon is the writer then be especially prepared for inspiration and tears. Most regrettably, I never saw any of these episodes during its nine years on television and it was just by chance I saw some of them when it was repeated a few years ago and was immediately captivated. Michael Landon's legacy in this series is a masterpiece, and he and Mellisa Gilbert make the viewer spiritually happier with their endearing personalities and characters. Nevertheless, all the other actors and actresses give very memorable performances too. The picture quality is so excellent one always feels a spectator in the scenes. My only criticism is sometimes rather faint sound. I think subtitles would be an advantage for many. There are six discs in both Series 1 and 2 and I am only very sorry there is not yet the rest of the television series on DVD.
