Little House on the Prairie - WILL There Be a Blu Release for 'Season 7'? The Studio Says...

This past Friday we brought you the official press release for both Little House on the Prairie - Season 7: Deluxe Remastered Edition and also the Little House on the Prairie - The Complete Collection: Deluxe Remastered Edition gift set (in a collectible "little house" package; see below). Both of these titles were described in the press release as being available on October 6th...on DVD. No mention was made for Blu-ray Disc versions.
Our readers who are fans of this show, and who have purchased the first 6 seasons of the Lionsgate Deluxe Remastered Edition releases on high-def Blu-ray, were naturally concerned about this, and begged us to check in with the studio about it. After all, as we mentioned in an update to our report on July 22nd, odvdo.com had previously shown a listing for a Blu-ray release of Season 7: Deluxe Remastered Edition. In our original write-up, we said "we are guessing the BD version info is still to come"...did we guess wrong?
Apparently we did indeed guess wrong. www.odvdo.com has since removed the Blu-ray entry for the remastered seventh season, and our inquiry with a contact at Lionsgate resulted in a response saying that they could "confirm that we are not releasing Season Seven on Blu-ray at this time." And, of course it follows that if the seventh season isn't being created for stand-alone sale, then it's not available to be part of a BD complete series set, either.
No reason was given for this retreat from the high-def format for Little House, but if you want to change the studio's mind, don't tell us...visit their social media pages on Twitter and Facebook and let them know! And, to further convince them that folks want Prairie on Blu, get your friends to buy the existing Blu-ray season sets...vote with your dollars! It's the most convincing argument out there when it comes to business decisions.
