Little House On The Prairie Season One Remastered for the First Time! + Reader Giveaway

When I was a little girl, Little House on the Prairie had to have been one of my very favorite TV shows.  By the time it came on the air, I had already read many (or maybe all) of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and was so excited to see them brought to life right on my own TV.  Not to mention the face that the show was set in Minnesota and I LIVED in Minnesota – I thought that was just amazing.  I know that the show was a favorite of many kids, not just those in Minnesota of course, and so does Lionsgate Home Entertainment, who is making available a remastered edition of the first season of Little House on the Prairie available for the very first time.
