I love Road to Avonlea! It's one of my favorite series. I'll have to admit, I like more than I like LHotP. ~ducks~

As was said earlier, the pilot is really the first episode in season one. What Jacob posted is the "The Journey Begins" (first episode) and "Proof the Pudding" (fifth? episode) combined into one episode. I checked it out of the library just to laugh at it! They took out Welsman's music and replaced it with the Gillis music!

I know what you mean by the Anne3 forum, though I wouldn't necessarily label it as not very friendly. Sometimes I think it's not very friendly... I remember thinking so when I joined in 2005 or was it 04... They go through streaks where there are some being unfriendly and argue over just about anything... :( and then the nicer people don't post as much! There's something wrong in that!

Well too bad the anne fourm could't be more like lhotp forum! nice and friendly people all the time!!

thats the truth.

I agree 100%, Savannah. I have yet to sit through all the other movies, (I have seen scenes here and there on PBS, and wasn't terribly impressed), but I still would like to. I just watched three days of AOGG with the 7 year old girl I watch (we took a little break from Little House) and she loved it! I wasn't sure that she would. She loved the Anne & Gil storyline! She's SEVEN!!! Geesh, they start young these days, huh? Of course, this is the "Disney Channel" generation---she's in love with Zac Ephron (High School Musical ). I'm going to check to see if I can rent more Anne movies from the library! Good idea!

I've only seen the first disc of the first season so far...we got it from netflix.

I was a member of the Avonlea Fourm for a little while, too, but there are way to many members, way to many topics a day, and not so nice people. I think here you can still voice your opinions, but no one gets all hot if you do, and starts a big argument! There it was nearly ever topic for a while when I was a member. And then when it started getting hacked, I just quit bothering.
put I like LHOTP a LOT more than I do RTA. Or even AOGG. :lhotprules:

Hey you all "Road to Avonlea" lovers... here are some news you might like

Until December 4th, when you buy the first season of the new restored widescreen Road to Avonlea, you'll get the second season free! The beautifully restored picture, closed captioning and new special features make this the perfect gift for any fan of the show.

*I wish they had a wide screen remastered version of AOGG, I'd buy it :)

Oh, that's nice to know. Thanks for sharing.

Oh thanks telling us! I have to agree they did price the RTA dvds to high! but they were worth the money

I have to share, our dear sweet Kerissa sent me "An Avonlea Christmas" in the mail the other day!    I have never seen it! I'm sure I will LOVE it. When we met a couple of months ago, she gave me season 3, because she had won it and already owned it...so nice of her! So far I just love this series...I just wish the dvds weren't so darned expensive!  

She also sent me a movie called ""By Way of the Stars", which is another Ken Sullivan production. Has anyone else seen that? It looks good!   Thank you again, Kerissa!

I seem to love RTA more then LHOTP, Just can't express how much I adore this show.  I just love the music from the show too. The DVDS are well worth the money.  

I love the music too, Krissy.     And just the whole feel. I love Anne of Green Gables of course, but there is just something about the scenery of Avonlea.  

I love Road to Avonlea too. This show and I have a long history together but I don't have time to explain at the moment.

"An Avonlea Christmas," which was originally titled "Happy Christmas, Miss King," is an annual seasonal selection for me. I love it. I hope you will too. I haven't seen the other movie yet.

Yes! It's just so beautiful. It makes you want to go to PEI.    

I have a friend who works at Green Gables, we went to college together..

I watched it last night and loved it! Sad in spots, but SO good! I just LOVED all the scenery! I love winter village scenes! I just wrote in another thread that I wish I lived in a village and everyone was driving horse drawn sleighs rather than cars!

Whoa, that WOULD be a dream come true, wouldn't it?! Wow!!  

I just watched it last night. I know on the Avonlea forum many people don't like it. I think it's rather better then LHOTP Christmas movie. I mean I wasn't thrilled with the war idea. But least on RTA it was more Christmas themed. They wore warm jackets. They had snow on the set. Sorry I don't mean to always compare the shows. I would have loved if K.S did more RTA movies. That been cool.

That was real snow, not the Hollywood fluff stuff. It's cold here in Toronto and I've seen pictures of the cast in their modern coats between takes.

That is true. Very true it is cold here.

My mother brought my the DVD Set. They were a pretty penny. We ordered them from a store. That store is gone now, Also got a season from HMV. They were priced from $59.99 to maybe $79.00. Canadian dollars. I'm not sure if it's less money in the states. I watched the show on are Canadian channel. So it wasn't edited for me.

As i am watching season 5 i am reminded how Beautiful the scenery is. I really have to go to PEI someday yet   

It sure does!

I feel so fortunate....Jacob told me about season 1 & 2 being sold on christianbook.com for only $10 a piece (and free shipping) on Christmas day!! Considering the lowest I ever see these on sale for is $45.00, that was quite a deal!! Thanks again Jacob! I can't wait to receive them! (btw, are there any 'special features' included, does anyone know?)

Ahh, yes.   Had you seen season 5 before or is this a first? Is it good so far?

I don't think there are any Special features but i could be wrong its been a while since i watched the first seasons.

Yes Amy its my first time watching season 5 i have seen one or two episodes before but most of them are new to me. It is VERY good so far. I just love it   

The first three seasons of RTA are still on sale for $10, so I am picking them up. Thanks for letting me know.
