One of the Best Family-Oriented Series

"I watched "Little Men" for 2 years on PAX TV when it originally aired and fell in love with this delightful, heartwarming family drama. Safe for the entire family to enjoy, "Little Men" will warm your heart with valuable lessons, charming anectdotes, and a house of boys and girls tumbling through life's many adventures.In addition to the rambunctions children of the series, is the burgeoning relationship between Jo Bhaer and the new caretaker of Plumfield, Nick Riley. After the unexpected death of her husband Fritz, (which may alarm many L.M. Alcott fans) Jo finds herself torn between her past and her future. The addition of Nick Riley to the story-line, though a major change in the original plot of the novel, is pivotal to the series. He adds the charm, roughness, and tenderness of a man wrestling with his own past as he quickly falls in love with a woman of strength and courage unlike any he has ever known.Anyone who purchases this series on DVD (the first 2 include the first 4 episodes) will undoubtedly enjoy it...."
A treasure for the whole family

"This series was based upon the classic Louisa May Alcott book "Little Men". Although it does move away from the book in certain ways, the series still brings the charm of Alcott's novel to the small screen. The scripts are well written, the acting superb, and the stories are timeless. This DVD, containing the first 4 episodes of the series, will be something to treasure and which can be shared with children and adults alike for many years to come."
Little Men DVD

"I watched the TV series Little Men when it was played on PAX TV a few years ago, and was very disappointed when they took it off the air. It was the first show I ever saw that had valuable lessons, but never anything harmful for young children to see. Although I always enjoyed Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, some episodes were inappropiate for young children, never so Little Men.
Anyone that views this show (and is a fan of the 1800s) will undoubtedly enjoy it immensely."
A fun, wholesome show

"If you want to see a nice, wholesome four shows that are fun and enjoyable then I would recommend this DVD.The only dissapointing thing is that it are only four episodes on this DVD. I would have liked to see the other episodes that I've grown familiar with.This show can be a little bit corny but once you've grown used to that you'll learn to love it. Don't buy this DVD as a follow up to the books Little Men and Little Women. Joe's husband has died in this show to make room for a romance between Joe and Nick, a handyman who has come to work for Joe at the school. Because of this it cannot be very true to either book. Even so, I still recommend the DVD.It can be enjoyed by all ages. I am 15 and have loved it since I was 12. Kids would like it as would adults, so it's good for the whole family. enjoy!"
