Some are labeled as episodes or season.I just want to watch the series not - the getting to know or any other bonus features or will this make a difference trying to understand the series?Also noted the movies are not included- will this make a difference in understanding the series?Is it necessary to purchase the movies?Same questions for purchasing seasons 6 and 7. Any better boxed sets to purchase?Any suggestions or help appreciated.

@SouthernBee   Have you looked on amazon?  You can ask these questions there, and see reviews.

@mousiegirl : Thank you. I purchased this set last year locally. A Christian bookstore was closing and 50% off. I just checked the reviews on Amazon and about 5 people complained about missing disc, not working or mislabeled. Hopefully mine will be better. I will watch some before making any more purchases in case I need to purchase something different.

@SouthernBee   Sometimes, a disc will freeze in parts or not play.  I have three DVD players, and I have found that only one always plays discs properly, and VHS tapes.  A DVD that won't play on the bedroom player, will on this player, and they are ALL the same brand, bought at the same time, go figure.

In the bedroom is where I have the most trouble, so I have taken to rubbing the playing side of the disc on my nylon nightie, and it works!  I told DH and said I cannot figure this out, and he said, "static electricity, or something like that.

If you have more than one DVD player, try the troublesome disc on all until you find what works.

The DVDs you purchase from Edify films are made by the production company for the show, which is why it has all the added features.

There is also the original When Calls The Heart movie that has different actors and is about her Aunt Elizabeth in flashbacks.  This may be included with your set as well.

The Edify Films version gives you two versions of the tv show - individual episodes as aired on Hallmark Channel in the US and the "movie" version which is just 2 episodes merged together and they only use one of the episode names for it, which makes it more confusing when looking at lists of episodes on the internet.

It doesn't matter how you watch them.  I watch the movie versions because you get less credits to fast forward through, but you also don't realize a new episode is starting sometimes as it's a seamless transition.

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "the movies are not included."  If you mean the Christmas Day movies, they are part of your DVD set.

The Christmas Day movies are:

When Calls The Heart:  New Year's Wish (Generally referred to as Episode 1 of Season 3)

When Calls The Heart:  Christmas (Generally referred to as Episode 1 of Season 4)

When Calls The Heart: The Christmas Wishing Tree (Generally referred to as Episode 1 of Season 5)

You may not have this next one as your set only goes through Season 5.

When Calls The Heart:  The Greatest Christmas Blessing (Generally referred to as Episode 1 of Season 6)

@SouthernBee 

Did you buy them from Edify Films directly?

I would put them in the DVD and see what the disc says on the screen and try to match it up with the list I provided so you can watch them in order.
