Camino a Avonlea

Avonlea is a quality show for the family. Set in the Canadian Province of Prince Edward Island (actually filmed in Ontario) this show is based on the characters developed by Lucy Maud Montgomery. The beautiful Canadian scenery inspires you to dream of one day traveling to see this peaceful place. The series is rich with drama, comedy, and delightful characters that you, the viewer, will identify with. (My family surely identified with certain characters: I was like Hetty the spinster schoolteacher, my sister was like Olivia King Dale, and my mom reminded me of Janet King!) The shows will touch your heart...Sarah's new life at Rose Cottage, the romances of Olivia and Jasper, Felicity and Gus, Cecily's TB, Alec and Janet's late arrival! The fine Canadian actors are to be commended for making Avonlea a show to look forward to watching each week! I was sorry to see this fine series come to an end. It was a pleasure to watch.

As a fan of Lucy Maude Montgomery, I really appreciated this show. It is one about family and values during the early part of the 20th century. It is a show of romance and innocence that can be appreciated at any age. A good show for all. I had the opportunity to visit PEI this past summer and see Avonlea and Green Gables. It was magical! Awesome show!

I've seen Road plenty of times, and I'd like to say, it's a pretty good series. It mixes real life drama with historical views, and Avonlea, the town, of course, is the perfect place for this highly entertaining show, and fantastic characters. All the characters, Felicity, Felix, and Sarah being my favourites, add their own...spice, if you will, to the recipe that creates this entertaining series. Flaws: Sometimes, it got a bit too sappy, and sometimes, the events are a bit far from reality. Otherwise, it's a pretty good show.

Happy watching, everyone,

I have seen about three-fourths of the "Road to Avonlea" series on the Kermit Channel(somewhat related to the Oddyssey network in the U.S.). Now I have to finish watching it all. It's worth my time. The story is a bit slow but it did grow on me. When I feel unhappy and insecure, I always think of Avonlea and the adventures of its children and of its people. In that way, I can easily send myself off to dreamland(Avonlea is fictitious, isn't it?). When I'd like to think of friendship and romance, I think of Gus Pike and Felicity King. They're my favorite characters on the show. And it will always remain that way. "Road to Avonlea" has become a classic to me and I think it deserves to be shown on T.V. over and over again.

WOW! This show brought you into a world of hopes and dreams. It told you about the lives of children growing up in a small town in the early 1900's and how their lives changed as they grew and matured. Whether struggling with romance, stains on clothes, or strange family members, they always kept a smile on your face. They brought us memorable moments, like weddings, births and just sweet comments and apologies.

Anyway, it is one of the best shows (IMHO) ever made. It will always remain 'so dear to our hearts'.
