Road to Avonlea

I was born in 1989, and I watched this show growing up. It was amazingly realistic and portrays Islanders exactly how they were. I was surprised that people from the United States and all over the world watched Road to Avonlea. When I was young, I thought it was just local.

I loved the characters in the show, and how the buildings and houses reminded me of where I lived. In fact, the white church shown in the theme song is 200 metres from my house. It's part of a community called Orwell, where I live. Actually it's a historic village called Orwell Corner Historic Village, it has been there since the 1800's. I actually worked as a tour guide there last summer, and cleaned and polished that church many times. Of course most of the sets are in Ontario but lot's of background scenery and stock footage is actually from here.

Oh yeah, and for those who don't know this Avonlea is a made up place based on a real place in PEI called Cavendish. Cavendish is a tourist spot and has an attraction called Avonlea village which is based upon Lucy Maud's Avonlea. ^.^ So come visit us in PEI!! I'll probably be working at Orwell Corner this summer so stop by and say hi if you come.

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'.

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,

Road to Avonlea was an excellent family show. It always left you wondering what was going to happen next, especially on the 2 part episodes, while watching and then says "To be continued" it makes you want to throw the television across the room. I would recommend it for anyone.

I think "Road to Avonlea is the Best tv show ever! It is very clean and the actors in it are the best. Zachary Bennett is my favorite actor and I think that he is very cute too! I am a Christian and I think that this is a wonderful family show. There are not very many shows today that are clean, so I'm glad that I have this show to watch with my family.
