Little House On The Prairie 2026 TV Series: Independence SPOILER FILLED Review


Little House On The Prairie has manages to entertain generations of kids for decades as such it wasn't all that surprising when it was announced that there would be a new version of the book coming from Netflix. Well they have now dropped all eight episodes however this review will only be based off of the first episode and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episode that if it was released on July 4th would have been very aptly named with the episode in question being called simply just "Independence" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is the Ingalls family leave there home , family and friends in the big wood behind them in search of a new life in the town of Independence. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The episodes plot was one that whilst it was good it is also one that could have been done alot more better as the plot was really on thin side so much so that it was hard to tell just what the main plot of this episode was even meant to be in the first place. Yet when the episode does get a sort of plot with the family moving out of there old home that is where we see the potential of the series and that is where it very much feels like the original book as and yet the makers of this episode don't really focus on that part of the episode for very long when that is something that they had the time to do and whilst yes the plot of the original pilot film wasn't all that much better it was a damn sight better then the plot in this episode as the pot of that film did very much feel like it was ripping the pages of the book and putting them on screen where as here it does feel like that the makers of this show are trying to fix things that weren't broken when what they should have been doing is focusing on the plot elements that work as those are the things that the people are going to be remembering this episodes plot for and not all of the stuff later on in the episode with the plot of this episode also not really being really rather entertaining and as well as not really being really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Luke Bracey as Charles Ingalls , Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls and Alice Halsey as Laura Ingalls. Also starring in this episode is Skywalker Hughes as Mary Ingalls , Warren Christie as John Edwards , Jocko Sims as Dr. George Tann , Meegwun Fairbrother as William Mitchell , Alyssa Wapanatâhk as White Sun , Wren Zhawenim Gotts as Good Eagle , Barrett Doss as Emily Henderson , Mary Holland as Jemma James , Michael Hough as Eli James , Kowen Cadorath as Caleb , Ryan Robbins as Russell Kind , Cliff Sumter as Hahn and Thosh Collins as Louis.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. This episodes acting is kind of hard t judge as while it is really good it is also the first episode f a new show and will therefor only get better as the show continues but as it pertains to this episode tho the acting is about as good as you can expect from a low quality Netflix show as while all of the episodes actors are in deed trying there best this is a case where there best just isn't good enough with it being clear that the episodes director Sarah Adina Smith was the wrong person to direct this episode as she has no clue on how to get a good performance out of her actors. With the best actor in the whole entire episode being Crosby Fitzgerald as Caroline Ingalls as she does bring a certain charm to the role that does make her scenes all the more fun and sweet to watch with her and Luke Bracey having such good chemistry together that you do end up buying them as this married couple with this being something that is key to making the show as a whole work and heck she even does have a certain feistiness to her that does shine through in her performance in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors anything to work with which is something that really does help to harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode. 


The characters in this episode are very much a mixed bag off affairs as while alot of them are done well others just aren't. As while the main family are handled about as well as could be expected as they are still the same characters only now they have a bit less charm to them as in the original film all of the family where likable people that you wanted to get know more about whereas here in this episode it does seem to the opposite that's true and as while the family members do have moments where they do show kindness and love to each to each other they mostly act cold and distant which is something that would make sense if this episode was filmed first but given that the whole point of this show is to show that family will always be there it is something that needed working on. However tho none of the episodes others characters get any kind of love given to them as at most alot of them just get two scenes to get across what there character is like which is just not enough for them to leave a lasting impact on us the audience as alot of the townsfolk do end up blending into together whereas with the family yes alot of them are just versions of the same character type your not going to confuse say Laura with Mary for example but with alot of the townsfolk it will be the opposite that's true as there is nothing about any of them that makes them stand out and that makes them feel rea which given the fact that the books were based off of the life of Laura herself is something that the makers of this episode really should have done as the books have worked for all of these decades for a reason and if the makers of this episode want this show to be a hit then they should have taken the time to make all of the characters feel like fully thought out characters.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Unlike with the original pilot film that just adapted the third book this episode seems to be just taking certain things from that book whilst also adapting things from the other books as well. This is something that does make this episode feel like a mashup of all of the books with none of them really working like for example in the scene where Jack gets swept away in the original pilot film we had narration from Laura saying how he was her best friends and we saw Charles go looking for him right after if happened whereas here none of that happens and therefor when Jack does go missing and Laura is still upset about it it doesn't make sense as we hadn't been given the information on if Jack was her friend or not and therefor him hi coming back to her at the end of the episode doesn't have the same surprise like it did when it happend in the movie. There are small changes like this all through the episode that on paper don't mean much but when you put them together it does add up to something that needed to fixed and right away like for example in the scene where Caroline gets tired from overworking herself in the original film she doesn't injure herself she just gets to weak to carry on with Charles telling her to rest and that she did a good job this does show us that he does care about her so much so that he is willing to do the work himself whereas here in this episode she drops a log on her foot with Charles now being forced to get the Doctor to help her out this is something that might not seem like much but it now says that Caroline is overworking herself not for her family but because of the fact that she's worried that the wolves might attack them and it tells us that Charles doesn't care that much about her as he never tells her that she did a good job he just says that he has to get the doctor to look at her.

There are some things about this episode that do work like for example the town itself does look really good. Even tho we don't spend alot of time in it in this episode we do get a good enough look at it with the town itself looking a typical western town only given the fact that "Independence" is a partially new town everything is nice and clean with the only thing that could have made the own feel more better being if we got to spend more time in it in this episode but given the fact that this episode also had to set up the whole family as well as the plot of the show it does make sense that the episode didn't spend alot of time in the town in this episode as that would have taken attention from where it should have been in this episode that being the family themselves. Speaking of the family we do actually get alot of scenes with them that weren't in the original film like we get a scene with Mary getting a crush on a local boy which was a sweet scene to see and we do get a scene where the sister talk about the things that they miss about there old home with Mary saying that she left her friends behind and Laura saying that she misses the rest of her family which again was a nice scene as it does show show us that this move not only effected them in a positive way as thy do get to see more of the world now but that it also effected them in a negative way as they did have to leave behind people that they miss dearly which is something that does make you wonder if this version of Charles took that into consideration as it is something that the Charles in the original film would have done if there was a similar scene both of these are things that whilst yes they are small things but they also show us that the makers of this episode yes did know would help to make the episode better and while they don't make the episode perfect by any means they up making it look like the episode was more well thought out with the makers of this episode going out of there way it seems to have scenes like these be in the episode itself when they really didn't have to do it at all.


One of the things that was always going to tricky an was something that you could never get around was how they treated the native Indian characters. With them here not really having much of an impact on the episodes plot as they do just appear in a few scenes and that's it but but the episode does show Laura almost going out of her to befriend the girl of an Indian family with her even giving her her doll that she had found and that Caroline has repaired for her which whilst it does come of nothing in this episode it is somethin that could go on to effect the rest of the episodes of this show as the whole third book was based around the Indians wanting there land back and the lengths that they would go to to get it therefor by having the daughter of the main family befriend one of them early on does make you wonder how alot of the scenes later on in this first season would go. We do even get a a bit of a dark backstory with Caroline as she does reveal that she has seen war before at some point in her past with her not willing to face it again when she finds that certain Indians are planning an attack to take back there land which was somethin that was quite shocking and this is where the episode does get to be quite interesting as it's during those moments where you never really no what to expect and therefore the makers of this episode do have to come up with clever and inventive ways to keep us guessing what's going to happen next and with Caroline having this dark past with the Indians it again does raise the question of that will happen at certain points in the rest of the season as we do know that some Indians at first do attack the families home and burn down there barn and while they do befriend them in the end it doesn't change the fact that they did it in the first place with Caroline having this past with them it does make you wonder she is now going to react when these attacks do start happening as it could go either way with her and it would work either way.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty two minuets and fifty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show and to be fair this episode really did need t have that amount of running time in order to fully set up it's plot and characters and while the episode does skip over large portions of the book and film it does feel like there is some kind of an effort to be true to the book as the episode doesn't try to say that it's better then the book that inspired it rather it uses it's running time to help to set up this world and make it feel more real and lived in with this being something that does help the episode with the episode having just about the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even with this long amount of running time the episode still doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot which is something that could have been fine if this wasn't the first episode but given the fact that this is the first episode then there should have been scenes that do move either the episodes plot of the plot of this first season forward and make it feel more developed but the makers of this episode seemed to be more focused on making the Ingalls family seem really unlikable alot of the time that they are in giving us a well thought out plot. This is something that does also effect the characters character development as well which is something that is understandable as you could make the point that the character will get there development in later episodes which would be fine if this episode had set any of that up but it doesn't therefor any character development that they will get might not work as the foundations for the characters are rocky in the first place and yet if the makers of this episode had set up what there development will be by how the characters are attacking then it would work but the makers of this episode are more focused on making Laura look like a hunter alot of the time then they are in giving us it's characters character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is a drama that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that this episode does gave some really good drama in it is somethin that isn't all that surprising due to the fact that the book themselves more then likely had some really good drama in it and while yes the drama in this episode doesn't work as well as it did in the original film it is something that does still work well enough that you do kind of forgive the episode for alot of it's past mistakes. With the best piece of drama in this episode actually not being that dramatic of a scene rather its the scene where Caroline tells Charles that she can't do any more work because she's pregnant which does work as these two actors are so likable as these characters with it bein somethin that does make you look back in the past scenes with her when she was doing something hard with a new eye as now we know that during the crossing scene that she might have been pregnant with this being something that does add some small replay value to the episode itself and whilst it is something that doesn't make the episode on the while all that great it is something that does leave you with hope for this family and that was something that the original film was great at giving you and it makes it all the more tragic when all that hope ends up lost in later episodes with the rest of the episodes drama being really good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Overall look to be fair the original film and the subsequent TV series will always be the better adaptation this episode does get this new series off to a flawed but still solid start and while yes the episode does have it's fair share of teething issues the same thing can also be said for alot of first episodes and is not something that's exclusive to this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge Down Under "Worzel's Handicap" Review


It's been a long while since anything from Worzel Gummidge was covered by me and it's been even longer since anything from the sequel series Worzel Gummidge Down Under was covered. As such as a way to kill to birds with one stone as it where it only made sense that I cover an episode of Worzel Gummidge Down Under and well then I think that i've found solid episode that is worth talking about and so then join me as I review the episode that has Worzel crying for some reason with the episode in question being called simply just "Worzel's Handicap" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Worzel finds out that his beloved Aunt Sally has feeling for an egotistical golfer called The Captain Worzel decides to enter the local Golfing competition to win her back. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. While yes the episodes plot is a bit on thin side of things as there really much to this episodes plot outside of that brief summery the same thing could also be said for the rest of the plots in this sequel series and while the original series also had really simple and thin plot to them alot of them were filled with whimsy that you do kind of forgive them for being light on plot. Yet here in this episode that just simply isn't the case at all and therefor there is no excuse for this episode to be as light on plot as it ended up being due to the fact that alot of things that do happen in this plot do come out of nowhere with very little of them actually having an impact on the episodes plot itself and while you could argue that this was one of the scripts that was written when the show was meant to be set in Ireland which is fair enough the maker of this episode still should have taken the time to flesh out the plot a bit more as this is still a new show and therefore they do still have to set things up and yet they don't any of that as there is none of the charm and whimsy that made the original show standout and there is none of the almost scary storytelling that made episodes of this show standout and while yes the plot of this episode is still a fun plot as heck you could argue that having a more simple plot is what's best for this episode the episode itself still would have worked just as well if it had a more stronger plot to it with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Doctor Who and Wombling Free star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge and Gerald Bryan as Rooney. Also starring in this episode is Bob Gillespie as The Club Secretary , Peter Harcourt as The Captain , Olivia Ihimaera-Smiler as Manu , Jonathan Marks as Mickey , Power Rangers star Bruce Phillips as The Crowman , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Michael Wilson as Father O'Malley.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The fact that te acting in this episode was about as OK as it is is something that is pretty much the norm for this show as while actors like Jon Pertwee and Una Stubbs are trying to turn in a good performance and director James Hill is trying his best to get a good performance out of his actors sadly alot of the actors that are in this episode just aren't that good with them turning in some wooden performances with the only exception to this rule when it comes to the new actors being Bruce Phillips as The Crowman. Whilst this might be a bit of a cliche thing to say but the best actor in the whole entire episode is quite easily Jon Pertwee as you can tell that even tho everything in this show is inferior to the original show he is still having the time of his life playing this character with him getting to dress up near the end of the episode which is something that is always fun to see as you never really know just what kind of performance that you'll get from Jon Pertwee when he does that with it being crystal clear that he knows full well what James Hill wants out of him as an actor and is willing to go and give him exactly that right away with the fact that he still does have that twinkle in his eye when he's playing Worzel being something that really does shine through in his performance in this episode. With the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely anything to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in this very episode which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


For some reason this episode makes Golf out to be the best sort that there is as they do spend alot of the episode just in this one Golf club. This wouldn't be an issue if golf was a top sport in New Zealand but it wasn't it was Rugby Union heck it's never been a top sport in the UK therefor it make no sense for there to be an entire episode dedicated to it as while yes there is alot of potential for comedy gold to be had with the sport and it is one of the more safest sports that kids can play it's also a sport that is quite boring to watch ad yet the makers of this episode do dedicate alot of time to showing us this one person playing the sport granted it's to show us just how good that this person is at the sport which does make sense but it's also something that not really needed in the episode either. Look to be frank doing an episode of this show that's based around a sport was always going to be hard as you don't want a sport that would feel out of character for Worzel to try his hand his hand at like for example Football or Rugby for that matter but on the other hand you don't want a sport that is to boring on screen either therefor going with Golf as the main sport in this episode is something that does make sense as alot of people will know about it and given the fact that Worzel is many years old and the show has dressed him in older gear before it is a sport that he would do even if Aunt Sally wasn't in the episode itself but at the same time tho there are better sports out there that are more fun to both watch and play but sadly tho not one of them would have been right for Worzel as a character even tho we do briefly see him playing Football near the end of this episode, heck the episode doesn't really take full advantage of the fact that it has the characters playing Golf as we don't get to see Worzel interacting all that much with The Captain prior to the climax of the episode and nor do we get a scene where Worzel finds out what it is after mixing it up with something if your going to feature this sport in the episode then why not go all out and have as much fun with it as you possibly could have done.


You always knew that you were going to be getting somethin special in the original Jon Pertwee Worzel Gummidge series whenever you saw Worzel cry as that series knew how to tug at your heartstrings. However tho they also knew when to use it whereas even tho the scene that has him crying is beautifully shot it doesn't make sense for him to cry in this episode as the thing that makes him cry in this episode being he fact that he believes that he made him look like a fool in front of Aunt Sally yet he did worse then that in the original show and never shed a tear therefor it makes no sense for it to be effecting him this much in this episode as all this does is lessen the impact that a scene like this should have have. As this should have been a scene that hits you right in the gut and makes you feel sad for Worzel like in Aunt Sally's debut episode where she rejects him just as hard as he's just rejected Jon and Sue and that is something that works because of the fact that Worzel for the first time is seeing her for who she truly is whereas here he didn't really do anything that made him look like a fool in the first place as he had no ide how to play Golf in the first place and no one on the field told him that he was facing the wrong way when he started hitting the balls in the first place, this is a scene that really could have worked and should have worked if the episode did show us more scenes of Worzel trying to win Aunt Sally back with her constantly rejecting him for The Captain as then us the audience would feel this deep sense of lose the same say that Worzel and while that won't justify him getting upset and crying in the episode it would go along way to making a scene like that somewhat make sense and it would also keep the fact that the scenes with Worzel crying are really important scenes with the only good thing to come out of this scene besides from the fact that it was beautifully shot being the fact that The Crowman does come into cheer Worzel up.

Whilst in the original series we never really got the scarecrow heads talking on there own this is something that this episode does give us very briefly. As when The Crowman is counting how many heads he has in stock when he puts a few of them onto a body thy do turn into full scarecrows that is except for one head where you just see the mouth move and that is just such a creepy and yet at the same time funny visual to see in the episode as usually when you think of this show and the amount of times that we've seen Worzel change his head we've never ever seen the head talking whilst not becoming a full scarecrow the head only come alive the second that Worzel puts it on and yet here we do get to see that at the vert least the heads that this Crowman makes are capable of somewhat becoming alive and able to talk. With the effect itself being a very basic puppet effect that no doubt created by Sir Peter Jackson as he did do effects work on this series it is an effect that does look kind if good as the effect itself is still held back by the episodes limited budget but you could also argue that this adds to its charm as it does still very much look like a head that isn't meant to be alive yet as we do see that the eyes are still painted on as are it's lips with the only thing that we see moving is it's mouth which just moves up and down, this is something that does also make it a creepy looking effect as it adds a sense on unease to the episode and the lore of Worzel Gummidge itself as now we now that heads have the power to come alive even when there not attached to a scarecrows body which is a creepy thought to have in the first place and given the fact that this series was known for having more creepy episodes it's a wonder that they didn't revisit this idea in a later episode as they could have done something memorable with it and while it's not featured all that much in this episode the effect is something that does stick with you long after the episodes finished due to how out of nowhere that it is in the first place. 


Whilst it didn't make sense for Worzel to be crying in this episode it did make sense for Aunt Sally to be getting emotional at the ed of the episode as she has just seen someone that she did have small feelings for kissing another woman thus dashing one her dreams. This was a great way to show us that Aunt Sally does have feelings and that they can be hurt as while we have seen her upset in the original show it was usually due to the fact that she might end up back locked up in the attic again and not able to travel the world as she wants to do where as here in this episode it oddly felt more personal as even tho she doesn't have much of an impact on the episode itself you do still get the feeling that she was hoping that The Captain would fall for her and would take her to all of these countries that she's only heard of before now. This is something that does make her getting upset at seeing him kissing another woman all the more hurtful as to Aunt sally she isn't just loosing a potential love interest she's loosing someone who held the keys to her dreams someone who she was hoping would make those dreams come true and when she sees that that's not true she does realise that Worzel really is who she is meant to be with which is something that Aunt Sally just doesn't seem to understand as while he loves her to the moon back she at times can barely stand to look at him. There are alot of characters in this episode that oddly enough don't play that big of a role in the episodes plot as Rooney the towns handyman , Aunt Sally and Mickey and Manu all don't play that big of a role in the episode which for Rooney is understandable as he a minor character but Aunt Sally and Mickey and Manu are meant to be main characters in this show and yet all three of them play a minor role in the episode with Mickey and Manu only getting two scenes in the whole entire episode with this being something that makes no sense as the makes of this episode should have been spending the time to give us more information about these kids as we know nothing about them and therefor we have to reason to care about them and yet there being treated like an after thought in the show and while there are other episodes with Aunt Sally as the main character given the fact that it was due to her taking a fancy to The Captain in the first place it would have made sense for her to play a bigger role in the episodes plot.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and eight seconds. This is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show and to be fair to this episode whilst it didn't really need to be that long in the first place as you very easily could have told this episodes entire plot in well under twenty minuets those extra five minuets do make all the difference as they do allow for the episodes plot to breath more and for the characters to have alot more fun in the episode whereas if the episode didn't have those extra five minuets then none of that would be in the episode as none of the more fun scenes in the episode are important to the episodes plot with the episode itself having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho the episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot with this oddly enough being due to the fact that the episode does have alot of fun but pointless scenes in it with this those scenes feeling more filler and padding then anything else and yet if the makers of this episode really wanted the the episode to reach it's running time then they very easily could have done just by expanding on the episodes plot as the plot of this episode is more then fun enough to have more fun moments be in the episode and not have it effect the development of the episodes plot mas a whole and yet as the makers of this episode are more focused on shoving the game of golf down our throats then it does mean that the episodes main plot can't be that well developed. The same thing is also true for the episodes character development as while it is more then understandable as to why both Worzel and Aunt Sally don't get any kind of character development as we have alot of the previous series for them to get there character development the same thing cannot be said for the rest of the episodes as we know next to nothing about characters like The Captain or The Crowman with neither character are given the chance to grow as characters with the makers of this episode instead being more focused on giving us pointless filler scenes that then they are in using that amount of screen time saved from having those filler scenes be cut from the episode and giving them to scenes that would have helped to further develop it's characters but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The episodes comedy is alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this episode shouldn't be that funny but due to the fact that the episode does have a plot that does allow for these more fun moments with the characters be it Worzel and Aunt Sally arguing in a bunker on the Golf course over if Aunt Sally is actually at the seaside or not or even Worzel pretending to be one The Crowman's heads bottom line being there are alot of fun moments in this episode. With the episodes best joke being the scene where Worzel and Aunt Sally argue about if she actually at the sea side or not as it is a scene that does feel very much like the original show as while both characters did indeed go to the seaside in the original something which Worzel himself does point out by saying he knows what the seaside is and it can't be where there are as it's not there and yet even so Aunt Sally still does manage to get the better of him not only by hitting him twice on the head which is always funny to see as it allows for Jon Pertwee to pull a funny face but also by saying that they are at the seaside and the reason why the sea isn't there right now is because the tide is out which does feel like an Aunt Sally thing to say with that joke even being one of the more better written and acted jokes in the episode as you do get the see the twinkle in both Una Stubbs's and Jon Pertwee's eyes as they get to act out this really silly scene together with that being the thing that makes this joke really funny with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst this episode still isn't that good as it does have alot of flaws in it the same thing can also be said for alot of the episodes in Worzel Gummidge Down Under but what saves this episode are the brief moments where it does feel like the old show as we do get to see small glimpses of what made the original show not only memorable and funny but also really good as well in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then  i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Jackass: P** Cocktail Review


There is a new Jackass movie out and with that movie being the final time that the gang are going to get together and hurt each other it is a sad time. Well I thought that it only made sense to go back and look at the very first episode of the show just to see how far the guys have come since the year 2000 and while the stunts in this episode are alot more tamer then what they were doing in the movies it is still a fun episode and so then join me as I review the episode that features a stunt that they redid for Jackass 3D with the episode in question being called simply just "P** Cocktail" enjoy.

As with the movies this show and this episode doesn't feature a plot to speak with the main focus behind all of the episodes and films being these guys just pulling pranks on each other and the public. This is something that does work really well as it does help to set this episode apart from other episodes of other TV shows as this episode does help to give MTV an edge and feel more adult then something that we would find on mainstream TV channels yet at the same time tho whilst it would be easy to get bored by seeing alot of the guys just doing this more often then not daft pranks on either the public or worse each other it is somethin that does work in this episodes favor as right away it tells you that this show is going to be different from anything that's on TV and that's exactly what this show was in all of the best ways possible. Yes it might gave helped if the episode did have more of a loose plot tying all of the skits together as this is the first episode of the show and it therefore would have helped to ease the audience into the show a bit more but the fact that they just went all out nuts even in this first episode does also show us that the whole gang knew full well that what they were doing was going to work as it allowed them to be more of themselves and that is something that wouldn't be possible if the episode did have a plot Knoxville was able to get away with it Bad Grandpa but that was more due to the fact that he was more well as an actor at that point in time where as here in this episode he wasn't known at all and therefor he and the rest of the guys did have to get across what they are really like or were really like in alot of these early episodes with this episode being a good example of this as we do get alot of quick scenes with most of the guys talking to the camera and this is something that would have to have been cut out of the episode if this episode did have more of a plot running through it 


Starring in this episode is one of this shows producers and co-creators Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera. Also starring in this episode is Chris Pontius , Dave England , Steve-O , Ehren McGhehey , Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña , Ryan Dunn , Brandon DiCamillo , Sean Cliver , Jason Fijal , Mike Kassak , Jess Margera , Chris Raab and one of this shows producers , the shows director and co-creators Jeff Tremaine.

Everyone that is starring in this episode even those that only appear behind the camera do a really good job in this episode. With them all kind of already starting to form to the strong friendship that they would eventually develop over the course of both the show and the movies and yet even so you can see just how much joy each and every person that appears in front of the camera has for being in not only this show but in this episode as alot of the time they do just feel like close friends just talking to each other with this being the very thing that does help to make this episode already start to feel special as while yes we do have the stunts and pranks for the laughs which is fair enough but none of that would mean anything if the guys didn't genuinely like each other as then all the pranks that they pull on each other would seem mean spirited. While we don't get to see alot of the more well known members of the team in this episode with Steve-O and Wee Man only appearing in one stunt each we do get alot of scenes with other people in this episode which was something that was quite honestly refreshing to see as it would have been very easy for the makers of this show to just feature the heavy hitters for this debuting episode and then slowly but surely branch out to the more lesser known people but the fact that they started out with the more lesser known people first does show that the makers of this episode did just go with whoever had the best idea for a stunt and while of course Knoxville does appear in alot of the scenes almost to the point where you could make the point that he's the main person in this episode which is something that would be fair enough as he does do the intro for both the show and all of the movies he wouldn't be anyone without the rest of the main crew both in this episode and in the show and while both Steve-O and Wee Man don't get to do anything that's two dangerous in this episode the fact that they are in it at all dies show us that the makers of this episode knew that they had gold when they filmed there part for the episode.


Like the Saw films the main reason to watch this episode is to see just what crazy stunts that the guys were getting up to in there early days and while the stunts in this episode aren't as crazy as they are in the movies they are still some really good stunts in there own right. With the episode showing an oddly more safer version of the test footage that Knoxville filmed prior to filming this episode with them really only removing the fact that in the original version he straight up shoots himself with a gun whereas here in this episode he gets hit with a tazer and stun gun and heck oddly enough all of the stunts seen in this episode are alot more tamer then the stunts even in the first movie with this being because of the fact that with this being an episode of the show they weren't allowed to go as full on extreme as they really wanted to. Thus is something that does make alot of sense as kids are more then likely to copy things seen on a TV that they can very easily watch then they are a movie that would be alot more harder to sneak in and see but at the same time tho the whole deal about this show is that it is these guys doing these sort of extreme things to each other in public and that is something that we do get hints of in this episode and therefor MTV should have had a better idea of what it was they were getting themselves into when they first bought the show in the first place and heck if they were worried about kids copying what they saw in the show which they clearly where as they have a warning come up all throughout the episode then why not have the episode air at around 10 to 11pm instead of having it air at 9pm as this is something that would have allowed the guys to get away with more extreme stunts and it would mean that kids are less likely to copy what they saw either on the show or in this episode.


Whilst Johnny Knoxville does appear in alot of the scenes in this episode the episode does oddly enough feature alot of stuff by Bam Margera. Which is somethin that wouldn't be a bad thing as alot of his stuff in other episodes and films is really funny but here it felt like he was just throwing stuff at the wall to see what would stick as alot of his stuff in the episode is either him showing off his skateboarding skills or him throwing himself into things which is funny for one or two skits but alot of his skits are all like that and while Bam is funny he's only rally funny when he's messing with other people and that is something that he doesn't really do in this episode as alot of it is just him with him occasionally being joined by Ryan to help him out in things. The Bam that we see in this episode is vastly different then the Bam that we see in Jackass 3D as here in this episode he does feel like himself as he is just this punk kid who is doing these things just for a laugh and that is something that did help him gain fans in the first place whereas in his last Jackass movie it felt like he was putting on an act like he was almost forcing himself to be this person and instead grow up like the rest of the guys had done at that point, with the Bam in this episode coming across as being fun and almost care free as the only stunt that we see him really plan is a part of The Shopping Cart stunt where as he asks Ryan to punch him one second before take off to lessen the impact of the stunt and the Bam in that final film does feel like someone who would say yes to anything and not plan out certain spots to project himself. Bam himself does come across as being a very likable person in this episode as we don't get to see him pull pranks on his parents in this episode with him mostly doing these crazy and down right silly things just with his friends and this is something that works for the anarchic nature of the show as parents aren't going to find alot of this stuff funny but kids and teenagers not only will but did.

Look to be frank this episode is one that's hard to describe as it is one that you do have to watch in order to fully get the episode. As it is all well and good just saying that the show and the films are just guys acting stupid which un all fairness it kind of is but there's an art to it it's not just them doing something stupid because they think it might be funny it's them doing something stupid and then putting in the work to make it as safe as is humanly possible without loosing what it was that made it so funny to them in the first place and this is something that not alot of people really got about the show and heck even in this episode we do see them prepping Chris for a prank that they are doing granted it's just him running out of the boot of a car pretty much naked but even that does require work to make it be as funny as it could have been. Heck we even see Knoxville asking him several times during the prank if he's OK as it is hot in the back of that car and while it is a relatively simple prank to do as it's just Knoxville driving up to random people and then Chris jumps out of the back and runs away it still does require alot of planning ahead of time as they do still need to work where the cameras are going and who is going to be filming what at any given time, the episode itself does have a very gorilla filmmaking look to it which is pretty much the shows signature look as alot of the time when the guys are out filming in public it is just them filming in a car park but when they get the public involved it does feel like that they have to very quickly get the shot and drive away with this being something that does help add to the underground feel and look of the show with the only few times that they aren't out in public in this episode also helping to retain that look which is something that the makers of this episode really didn't have to do as they very easily could have used any money that MTV gave them to make the show to buy higher quality cameras but they didn't and it is something that does help to create a unique look for the show and while that is something that is all but gone in the movies it is something that helped to make this show stand out all the more.


For some odd reason even tho they have a stunt that is perfect for him in this episode Preston Lacey is nowhere to be found in the episode. Yes he did help behind the scenes by coming up with ideas for some of the shows skits but he's never seen in the episode this is odd as his "comedy partner" in the show Wee Man does appear in a brief skateboarding therefore it would have been easy for the makers of this episode to fit him into the scene just by having him either being chased by or chasing the Oompa Loompas in the scene as either one would have been perfect for him and either one would have been a funny visual to see in this episode but given the fact that the episode does have alot of scenes in it some of which do end up going on for quite a bit it does make sense that he perhaps doesn't appear in the episode. Speaking of the skateboarding Oompa Loompas it was a passable scene maybe skateboarders will like which is fair enough as alot of the people that were involved with the making of this show are actual skateboarders but given the fact that you do expect larger then life stunts in this show it does feel out of place as while there is other skateboarding in the episode those usually played into what you expect from the show by having the person skateboarding get hurt in some really painful way like for example during the Fat F**ks sketch one of the people tries to ride a board on a rail in a fat suit only for the board to fall and him to land right between his legs which is something that would have been funny for Wee Man or even Preston for that matter to do and here in this episode it does feel like they are playing things safe when it comes to the stunts which is something that does make sense as this is the first episode and they do have to test the waters if you will with MTV but they still could have tried to push the envelope out a little bit further then what they ended up doing as here it does feel like this is just the pilot episode of a potential series rather then the actual first episode of the series itself.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and twelve seconds. This is pretty much the bogstandard running time for the show and to be fair to this episode given the fac that neither this episode of the films  have a plot to speak off it does somewhat make sense that they would have this amount of running time for the show as the makers of the show do still have to pack in alot of stunts all of which are things that the show is known and with alot of the stunts taking up to about five minuets it does make sense that the episodes would be this long as they do have alot of stunts to fit in with there being very few behind the scenes stuff with the only behind the scene look that we get in this episode being Johnny Knoxville calling up his doctor to ask what shots he needs to get for the episodes titular stunt. Whilst the show has proven that it can work with a longer running time thanks to the movies it is something that would have been seen as being a risky thin to even think of with this episode as there was no need for this episode to be as long as it is as there is no plot in the episode and therefor the episode doesn't need to fit in plot or character development. It just needs to show you the guys doing the stunts and that's it and yet it's thanks to the fact that the episode is as along as it is that the stunts are allowed time to breathe as it's no just one guy getting hurt and then the episode cuts to the next guy getting hurt rather the episode does allow time for alot of the bigger stunts and pranks to breath by showing us what it might have been like working on this show and it's those things that would have been cut from the show if the episode did have a plot as the episode would have had to have fit in a plot and there would have needed room for both plot and character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. While the guys would get more out there the longer the show goes on with there psychical stunts the comedy in this episode does seem alot more tamer by comparison almost as if they are are testing the waters of hat they can get with in this show it's not bad persay it's just not as good as it does get later on in the series which s fair enough as this is only the first episode and while it is smart to usually put your best foot forward given the fact that the guys are doing these stunts and pranks themselves the fact that they are playing it safe with there stunts does make sense. With the best joke in the episode being the stunt "Body In Trunk" as it is a simple stunt with alot of the comedy coming from people's reactions to what is going on infront of them being the thing that does make this stunt be funny as by all rights this stunt should have worked and yet due to the fact that everyone involved with the stunt really does commit to it as we do get to see Chris run quite a distance several times it is something that does make the stunt out to be a really funny stunt and while yes it is perhaps the safest stunt that they do in the episode as no one is going to be getting hurt or at the very least badly hurt it's a stunt that is helped by the fact that it is just so stupid as the idea of a of a fully nude person jumping out f the back of a car into LA traffic just to get the reactions f several people is a stupid idea but it works because of the fact that it is just this stupid idea with it feeling like the kind of stunt that friends would do together back in the year 2000 with the rest of the episodes comedy being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst yes the stunts in this episode are alot more tamer when compared to the ones in the movies the episode on the whole is still a really fun episode as it does let you know right away that this show isn't going to be one that parents will love and will instead be this fun show and that's exactly what this episode was it was fun and it was stupid but it was in all of the best ways possible in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as welk as all of thee bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review well then boys an girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Little House On The Prairie Film Review


Pilots these days are usually things that would never be seen and while that is also the case for pilots in general nine times out of ten if a TV network wanted to see if something would be a hit then they would release the pilot as a made for TV movie. This is how we got shows like The Waltons and even Starsky & Hutch and it's also how we got what many consider to be one of the greatest drama in modern American history with it being that very TV movie that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the film that sees a family like there home in the big woods with the film in question being called simply just "Little House On The Prairie" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when there not enough food left in there old home the Ingalls family are forced to pack up and move home and find somewhere else to live where they have to cross dangerous rivers just to try and find a place to call home. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. To be frank this films plot is alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights the plot to this film should have been really bad and fille to the brim with obvious setup for the show. Yet there is none of that in this film with the film being more focused on telling a good and tight tory then it is in setting up things for the show with the films plot being at times heartwarming and at times devastating as we get to see these characters struggle to find a place to call home and while it would have been alot more better if the film did have more of a tighter plot and not just have what feels like a bunch of scenes that are loosely connected in it that would go against the film as a whole as the film is told from the point of view of a kid essentially writing down what's happened in a dairy and therefor of course things in the plot aren't going to be as good as they would have been otherwise and yet even so you can tell that there is alot of thought and effort put into this films plot with all of that love paying off as we do end up with a loving plot because of it with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this film is Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls and this films producer and director Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls. Also starring in this film is Karen Grassle as Caroline Ingalls , Melissa Sue Anderson as Mary Ingalls , Lindsay Greenbush as Carrie Ingalls , Sidney Greenbush as Carrie Ingalls , Victor French as Isaiah Edwards , Victor Mohica as Soldat Du Chêne , Cal Bellini as Brave , Sam Vlahos as 1st Indian , Richard Alarian as 2nd Indian , Marian Beeler as Charlotte Holbrook , John Steadman as Frederick Holbrook and Ruth Foster as Aunt Ruby.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I im all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. This was something that was quite shocking as you don't usually expect to see good acting in a made for TV movie rather you just expect there to be OK acting and that's it yet here it almost feels like the makers of this film went out of there way to give us some really good acting as all of the actors that are in this film are just so good an whilst yes granted this films acting isn't movie quality good it's also alot more better then alot of the acting in other made for TV movies. With the best actor in this film quite easily being Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls as he does get alot more of the more dramatic scenes in the film and whilst the rest of the films actors do get some dramatic scenes as well he does pull them of which such ease with this being something that does make alot of sense as he did star in alot of drama films and TV shows therefor he would know how best to perform in a drama heavy scene and yet he doesn't shy away from bringing hope with him performing this character with a huge twinkle in his eye as you can really tell that he had a blast in playing this character with that being something that really does shine through in this film. With the acting that's in this film really being helped buy the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film. 


One of the many things that this film does really well is it's characters as the film does give us some really good main characters. The films characters are so well written with them all being very distinct and well thought out characters like for example Charles is very much the type who will put his own family above his own needs as we we do get to see him do things that would kill him but he does them because of the fact that he love his family where as with Caroline she is someone who where's her heart on her sleeve and yet when push does come to shove she is always there to protect her daughters and speaking of the daughters all of them do feel very much like real people and while yes this is because of the fact that the books that this film and show are based off are based on a real person the fact that that does translate into there characters on the screen does go along way into telling you just how well written each of the characters are. With the makers of this film even going the extra mile by having us not only like these characters but also fall in love with them so much so that we want to see them succeed and find a home of there own with this being something that does make the quieter moments between them all the more heartwarming as we do get to see just how strong of a bond that they share as a family which is really sweet to see with that bond showing us just how these characters are as people as we get to see just how far alot of them are willing to go to make the others happy with that being something that alot of people today especially need to see as alot of them are far to quickly to push there own flesh and blood under the bus, yet if they just took the time to talk to there family then they would end up with a more stronger family bond which is something that we get to see in this film as it is clear as day that all of these characters really do love each other and that is something that is clear as day all the way throughout this film.


The heart of this film is all about chasing the American Dream and the hardships that doing something like that does entail. As while the main bulk of the film is spent with the family just trying to find there new home when they do find it in Kansas and decide to become farmers they still meet struggles be it from the weather or from other people and seeing them overcome that just because of the fact that they want to follow the American Dream and just live to see another day is something that does make these characters to be awe-inspiring as we do get to see them put in the work to make there new dream of being famers work and while not everything does go there way the things that do taste all the more sweeter because of the hard work that they put into making it work in the first place. This again is something that people today need to learn as they expect success to come after just making a few videos on either TikTok or Youtube and aren't willing to spend the time needed to put in the work and to put in the effort to reach there dreams in the first place and therefore when they do fail to reach there goals they don't blame themselves for not putting in the work they'll blame everyone around them and yet films like this one do show us that if you do put in the work then success will come granted it might not come ass quickly as you want to and it might not last long but it will be worth it when it gets there and while it cold well be argued that the family don't reach there goals at the end of this film as it's not until the TV series that they reach there final new home they still did put in the time and the effort to make a real go and being farmers in the first place and while fair enough it didn't work out for them this time around who to say that the next time they try it they won't take what they learnt from this time and apply it to this new attempt.

As was just mentioned this film is based on the book of the same name by author Laura Ingalls Wilder with the books being very loosely based on her childhood. Just based off of a very quick reading on the books Wikipedia page it does seem like that this film is a mostly accurate adaptation of the book with there only being a very very minor differences between the book and the film like for example in the book the family all get malaria which is something that never happens in the film and while there scenes with two Indians in the film there's nothing about them meeting at the nearby river bottoms and unnerving some of the settlers with there war cries altho it is hinted that it was one of the Indians that set the family's home and barn on fire towards the end of the film. To be fair given how auto biographical that the books are in this series it might be very hard for the makers of this film to have done an adaptation that is pretty much just the book but on screen and yet they did do there best as it does feel like it is just a more shorter version of the book and while the books are made for little children this film instead feels like it was made more for a family audience with it feeling like the makers of this film where chasing the same family audience that checked in to watch The Waltons as both shows did try to attract more of a family audience with the inly major difference being that this film was technically based on a true story, while the book doesn't seem like it was afraid to put the family in danger as the Wikipedia does explain as such here really the only character that does get put in any real danger is Jack the dog with the family themselves not really facing any danger until near the end of the film when there house and barn is set on fire.


While it would have been super easy for the makers of this film to have the film be littered with things that wouldn't get payed off until the TV series started airing. Here in this film really the only real tease of the show comes right at the end of the film where the family are forced to vacate there new home when some soldiers tell them that they have to and even then it's debatable on if that is a tease for the show as the show wasn't even being planned at the time that this film came out and the book does have a very similar ending to it but given the fact that the first shot of the show is the family airing in what would become the series main setting it is a safe bet to say that the ending of this film could serve as a tease for the show. Heck even it's ending doesn't give the characters the happy ending that they really did deserve as they still do loose there new home and are again forced to move on all for something that they had no control over with this being something that we do see anger Charles and yet he has to go along with it and while it would have been very easy for the makers of this film to give the characters there happy ending that not only wouldn't be true to the books and it would go against the films message of just because you work hard for something doesn't always mean that you'll get it as while the family do spend about a year in this new house trying to build a sustainable life for themselves they are still at the whim and mercy of a government that doesn't really care all that much about them and therefor they have to give up on this house that they all spent time in helping build just because of the fact that a new line was drawn and there house wasn't on the right side of it. This is something that was a smart thing for the makers of this film to include as it does allow for the makers of this film to be true to the books and it does allow them to be truthful in there messaging and seeing how the family does cope with essentially being evicted from there home which is something that they wouldn't be able to do if they went the more fairy tale way and gave the family the happy ending that yes was deserves but it would have gone against the original books in the process.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty six minuets and fifty nine seconds. Which for a made for TV movie is pretty much the bogstandard running time and while this film does take a huge while to really get going when the film does get going it doesn't let up and even with the film having this amount of running time it does at times oddly feel both the right and wrong running time for the film to have as at times the film does feel like a bunch of scenes that are very loosely connected together and yet at the same time it's with the film being this long that both the characters and plot have alot of time to breathe with the film having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount on running time in the first place. The film does even use its running time very wisely with the makers of this film really taking the time to fully develop its plot as while at times it doesn't seem like there is a plot forming the film does take the time to sprinkle in things early on the film that do end up becoming major plot points in the film like for example the film shows us the journey that the family have to go on just to get there new home which might not seem like much but then during a harsh winter we see one of there friends decide to take that same journey just to see them again with it being that person that does end up saving Christmas for them which granted doesn't seem like much but it is something that does show us the audience that the makers of this film did put alot of thought and effort into making this films plot feel as well developed at it is. The same thing is also true for the films character development as while it could be argued that all of the films main characters don't really need character development in this film as they would of course get it in the show the makers of the film do still take the time to show us moments with each of the family members where they do grow as people like for example we do see that Laura doesn't agree with her father alot of the time and yet during one of there minor arguments she does get to see the kind of choices that he has to make on a daily basis which does cause her to almost see him in a new light and while it is clear that the makers of this film did put more thought and effort into having the main theme of the film play over alot of scenes then they did the films character development but I really will admit that the film did have some really bad pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is a drama film tat really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty. One could make the argument for the films drama being the best part of the film as it is just so well done be it from a writing , directing or acting standpoint with it feeling like that the makers of this film really knew not to drop the ball when it comes to this films drama as instead of dropping it they straight up picked the ball up and ran with it as there are alot of scenes in this film that have alot of rally good drama in it with it all feeling earned. With the best piece of drama in the whole film oddly enough not being the scene where the family have to rush to stop there house and barn from burning to the ground rather it's the more simpler scene of the family , there dog Jack and there horses crossing the river as while the family do indeed struggle to get across the river so much so that Charles has to get out of carriage and lead the horses himself Jack isn't so luck as while he does try to swim across to the other side he gets swept away in the current with the family believing him dead as Charles himself goes and walks downstream for miles and can't find him with Laura herself taking it the hardest as to her Jack was more then just a dog he was her best friend this does make the reveal of him being alive and well all the more heartwarming as there is real joy and real happiness in the eyes of the makers of this film during that scene with the rest of the films drama being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall the new Netflix Little House On The Prairie TV series does have a lot to live up to as this one film gave us really likable characters that we want to see more off which is something that the new Netflix version will have to do if it really wants to succeed and be as good as not only the original show was but also what this film as well as this film is just that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
