The ninth season of Little House on the Prairie was re-invented as Little House: A New Beginning after star Michael Landon decided to leave the series. (He continued to produce, direct and write for the show.) The first episode began with the departure of Landon's Pa Ingalls, who fell on hard economic times and moved his family to the city . He returned for just one harrowing two-parter, "Home Again," in which son Albert (Matthew Laborteaux) battled a morphine addiction. In Landon's absence, it was up to the other denizens of Walnut Grove to provide drama, and provide they did. The meddling, gossipy Harriet Oleson (Katherine MacGregor) played town villain, followed by her whiny adopted daughter Nancy (Allison Balson), who was annoying but never as deliciously wicked as her predecessor Nellie (Alison Arngrim, who makes a welcome guest appearance). Laura (Melissa Gilbert) is all grown up and living with husband Almanzo (Dean Butler) and their daughter Rose. The show also cast a pre-scandal Shannen Doherty as Jenny Wilder to fill the spunky young protagonist role vacated by Gilbert.
Little House continued its run of darker stories in this season, from a crazed father (Robert Loggia) who shoots his daughter and wife to a suicide attempt by Jenny after her father dies, filling in other episodes with fluffy schmaltz featuring some of the other townsfolk (you know they're desperate when an entire show is about a wayward orangutan). The series also liked to feature outcasts teaching the town lessons in tolerance: in one case a circus midget can't get a job because of his looks, and a "wild boy" turns out just to be an abused mute. Despite its attempts to fill the void left by Pa and Ma Ingalls with new characters, however, the long-running series lost its spark without Landon and did not last after the ninth season.
The boxed set includes an 86-page booklet: Little House on the Prairie A-Z by historian Patrick Loubatiere, who also interviews Dean Butler and Alison Arngrim in the DVD bonus features. The interviews don't reveal much, other than Loubatiere's smugness for knowing more about Little House than the stars of the show. --Ellen A. Kim

We ordered the 9th seaons DVD set because we had the previous 4 seasons and wanted to get 9 before we start ordering the early years. It's nice to get the complete sets to see episodes that are not shown in re-runs, and to watch them without commercials. Getting the free book full of Little House trivia info was a treat. Lots of pictures an information on the show and cast members.

In Season 9 "Little House on the Prairie" went through many changes. The title was renamed, "Little House: A New Beginning." Then the cast changed, drastically. Charles and his family moved to the city and the little house saw a new family. The Wilder's took in their orphan-niece, Jenny; played by a very young 90210-star, Shannen Doherty. Even though Michael Landon wasn't in every ep, his spirit could be seen in every single show!
This was the last season. Over the next couple of ... Read More

I would recommend this set, along with the rest of the seasons, for anyone wanting to have something that children can feel free to watch at any time. I have purchased all but 3 of the series and before it is over with I will have given my granddaughter all of the series. She is 12 years old and still loves, more than ever, setting and watching these old television shows. I don't worry about the content in them either. A lot of times their family will use one of these season on their family fun ... Read More

Greta series, however the last episode was not suppose to be the last, so keeps you wondering about several things. Also the movies following did not do justice for the series. Overall it is a great series. I think though that this series that is marketed for kids and young adults is not really suitable. This is for older teens and young adults. Some story lines are hard for kids to understand
