Little Men

I am really enjoying this 1998/1999 series, from two decades ago. Wished it had ran alot longer. Each episode has multi-stories that all blend for a good ending. Jo's character portrayal is priceless. Again, I wish there had been many more.

This is nice little family drama I happened to catch on a family-oriented TV channel - a series about widowed Jo March Behr (Michelle Burke) and her sisters take over the Plumfield School, a school in the barn on the Bhaer property that was once taught by Jo's husband.

Although this show only lasted for two seasons, it is quite an entertaining TV-series, with decent acting, heartwarming and suspenseful stories and good ol' friendship bonding. I especially liked the chemistry between Jo and caretaker Nicholas Riley (Spencer Rochfort) and the young teen students. There are episodes ranging from heartfelt to dramatic and from adventurous to mysterious.

Overall, a good drama show for the entire family.

Grade A-

"Little Men" is great for many reasons. Sure it isn't quite like the book, but it stands out from all of the other sleazy and cheesy shows. The actors and actresses are all very good, the script and story-lines are good, and it is entertaining for people of all ages! My whole family enjoys it very much, from me (the youngest) to my parents, who are in their 50's. Comedy, romance and adventure are all things you will encounter in this show, besides the good family values. "Little Men" is a great show that should not be taken off the air!

As always, there are some disappointments from this show. But, as I reflect upon all the shows these days, and upon this show, I know there is a big difference. Can you watch without guilt a show where morals and truth are forgotten? Some can, but I know I would rather watch a good show that everyone in the family can enjoy and feel good about watching. Little Men is one of the cleanest shows, and while some connect clean with boring, Little Men is nothing near boring. Even my parents and older brothers and sisters like to watch the show. The show is romantic, emotional, wholesome (for the most part), and adventurous.

Good insight into the World Of 1872, no automotives , no women's rights. It's a Man's world however a woman runs a school for boys and maneuvers through daily problems, opportunities, and romance.
