Considering everything else that is sold I'm surprised, too. We could always write and ask for them...an anniversary present! Wouldn't that be something?The First Time You Saw Avonlea
AlecKing, that is a really great story. I'm kinda the same way; not too interested in marriage. But if I ever met someone who loved Avonlea as much as I do, I'd definitely consider it!
You remind me of Hetty and Mr. Tremayne's romance....both were committed bachelors. I have often quoted the line that Mr. Tremayne says to Felix when Felix is love-sick over Izzy, "Whenever I get that feeling, I read a good book until it passes" (not exact wording).
I am looking into moving to Canada, actually. I'm curious, how hard was it to become a citizen there?

First Time I have been transported to Avonlea
I was ten years old and I watched Megan Followers as Anne Shirley in 'Anne of Green Gables'; I have read every Anne book that Lucy Maud Montgomery since than. I was so happy that Disney channel added the hit series "Road to Avonlea" to their program listing.
I was in Heaven every week when I could escape every day life and be transported to victorian day Avonlea.
I loved the entire King family best but I have to admit that Olivia was my faviote character. I was so happy that she fell in love and married "the awkard man" Jasper Dale. I love how she stood up to Hetty in defense of Jasper whenever Hetty saw fit to insult him.
Felix had always been my faviorte among the children. I loved watching him go through his boy hood and grow into the man that he had become in "An Avonlea Christmas".

"What do you think she's gonna do, put a hex on the hens?" - Olivia talking to Hetty after Hetty gets upset that Peg Bowen is trespassing on the king farm.

Aunt Olivia is a very dear character. I loved her romance with Jasper. I especially loved the episode in which the children think that Jasper is a vampire.
Felix was also a great character to what develop. I especially loved his idea for "Felix's Tea House". I really enjoyed watching Izzy and Felix's romance develop, and I was sad when the series ended without much chance to see anything more of their story.

Yes, I was always a bit sad that the tearoom storyline didn't go anywhere. It would have been nice to see the Fizz settle down with a tearoom!Oldbats wrote:Felix was also a great character to what develop. I especially loved his idea for "Felix's Tea House".

Hey, I'm new to this forum but I've visited the website many times. Great job!
The first time I saw Road to Avonlea... my parents used to watch it sometimes on TV when it first aired in Canada, but I was too young to remember. Then a few--maybe 5 or so--years ago I saw previews taken from "Proof of the Pudding" on the Anne of Green Gables video and thought, "Hey, that looks like something I should watch sometime." Some time after that, I learned that my neighbors had some episodes on VHS, so I watched all I could get my hands on and I was HOOKED. So hooked I went and bought 6 seasons worth so I could see ALL the shows.
