I have seen it. Are you talking about the one that is like the mini series that the Disney channel does? If that's the one, then yep..lol
I love it! Would you just adore living in those time with THOSE clothes! What fun!!

It is a spinoff of the Anne of Avonlea books but not written by the author.

My kids grew up watching this series on Disney when they were little. Disney has NOTHING like that on the channel now. It's all just garbage with people screaming and acting foolish. Sad, really.

Oh Mellaisabella, I do envy you. My family has watched all of them. Maggie they are an excellent choice! Thanks for reminding me to get mine out and get a refresher.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Yes I love it to. I love to watch it every fall and winter! There is a book by L.M. Montgomery called the Storey Girl which they based it on to make the tv show.

Another great Sullivan Production is Wind at My Back. This series takes place in the 1930's and of course as all of their work-it is total eye candy. The series is based around one family who own a mine in Canada (of course).
I own all of the Road to Avonlea and the Wind at My Back DVD's and enjoy them very much.
I also have The Walton's series and Christy (beautifully done!!). I do find it disheartening that I have to own all of these to get in some good viewing...because television-which I do enjoy, has taken such a turn that many evenings hubby and I cannot find anything to watch while we relax. Paying for cable is on many nights a waste of our money. But I do like Fox News and a few other shows that you can only get through buying cable.
Anyway...I do recommend Wind at My Back as well.

I've wondered about the Wind At My Back series Pamela. I will have to see if I can find it. I have all but season 6 of Avonlea. Love those shows as well as Waltons and Christy. Sam's club has many of these. It's where I get most of mine but they don't happen to have season 6 of Avonlea.
God is good....all the time.

As a fan of Road to Avonlea and being Canadian, it was on all of the time. I think I've seen the episodes about 12 times each! Hehe. That is not a complaint as it was one of my favorite shows. Anne of Green Gables was one of my favorite movies too. I'm not however, a fan of Wind at my Back. I tried to watch it as David Sullivan, creator of Road to Avonlea was a part of it, but I just couldn't get into it. I guess it just wasn't 'romantic' enough for me.
One of my favorite shows currently, believe it or not, is 18 Kids and Counting on TLC. I don't watch much tv, but this is the only show I try not to miss. It's about a christian family with 18 kids and their adventures. It's quite intriquing actually. They live in a beautiful home that they built themselves from scratch and the children are so well behaved and moral - a modern day Sound of Music you could say. They have a little website with their family recipes, etc. Very neat!

Hi Carrie,
My daughter watched the disney series with their friends over and over again when they were 13 and 15 and on VHS. Now my daughters daughters watch it!!!! We loved it! And thats when we fell in love with Canada!
We haven't had cable for 24 years. But we had a VCR and now DVD.
I have been trying to find the Duggers DVDs for a couple of years..with no luck. My daughter has 6 children and we love to watch them ... they are soooo neat! We only get to see them if we are at a hotel at disney. lol
Do you know were to find thier DVDs?
Oh and when we go to Disney's Epcot we spend a lot of time in Canada...lol.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

Right after the Netherlands and the USA, Canada my favorite country. Been there about 14 or 15 times. My realtives lived there (they passed away). I just LOVE Canada, the nature, the people, the shops ;). Everything. If I could live there I would, in a heartbeat.
I have the dvd Wind at my back. Never knew it was from the Anne series until I came here, lol.
