Reviews

kandy5001 Yes, I think this is my favorite show of all time...I've enjoyed every episode. I've seen every episode multiple times. I enjoy repeating parts of episodes. My mom recorded every episode while I was away at college...which I thoroughly devoured each school break when I got home.I searched high and wide for the series when it came on DVD...and prize that collection for its value. It's outstanding.Great story telling. Wonderful music. Great Acting (especially Polley, Burroughs, Bennett, and especially Mahonen as "Gus"). It was superb from start to finish...and REALLY took off as a super series after the star (Polley) left allowing the other characters in the story universe to show incredible depth.The drawback is that the series became more and more "sanitized" as it went on. Seasons 1-2 were much more real and authentic than the other seasons comparably.The Best in book with just a series or two behind it.

Lee-107 ROAD TO AVONLEA (RTA) is adapted from L.M. Montgomery's short stories on Avonlea. Spanning 7 seasons, 91 episodes in all, this series follows the life of its three main protagonists - Sara Stanley (Sarah Polley), Felicity King (Gema Zamprogna) and Felix King (Zachary Bennett), from the time they're around nine years old till they reach adulthood. Jackie Burroughs, Cedric Smith, Lally Cadeau, and Mag Ruffman, who play the rest of the King family, also have dominant roles in the series. Many of its themes and issues have been shown from their perspective. For those familiar with Kevin Sullivan's 'Anne of Green Gables' and its Sequel, RTA is meant to be a show that explores life in Avonlea after Anne Shirley has left to settle elsewhere. Therefore, some of the 'Anne' characters do appear in RTA like Marilla Cuthbert (Colleen Dewhurst), Rachel Lynde (Patricia Hamilton), and Muriel Stacy (Marilyn Lightstone).One of the many reasons why this series is so endearing and memorable is its right mixture of drama and comedy. The comic element is explored thoroughly through the characters of Felix and Hetty King and also through those working at the White Sands Hotel - a venue for many an Avonlea adventure! Jackie Burroughs has given one of the best performances playing Hetty King - a school teacher who is at times a rigid, even shrewish spinster and the next, an eloquent novelist of popular romance! Her character fluctuates from the impossibly strict to the ridiculously silly! The series started with the focus on Sara Stanley and then shifted to Felicity King and it is her life that has been most faithfully charted - from being a typical, bossy elder sister to a sensitive, young woman. Micheal Mahonen plays Gus Pike, Felicity's love interest. His character is granted all the elements of a romantic hero - a passion for the seas, a lighthouse dwelling, mystery, initial orphanhood, and then a fortunate family lineage. The characters of Sara and Felix have been given almost equal treatment; with Sara, being an independent, self-seeking woman exiting the show in Season 6 to seek a literary career in Paris. Felix's story is one of gradual maturation through what seems like an endless series of scrapes and messes! From Season 6, the show focused more on other characters in Avonlea, like the town gossips, the Pettibone family and Davy and Dora Keith. What made RTA interesting was its social and historical realism - from focusing on the suffragette movement, to the scientific inventions explored through the character of Jasper Dale (R.H. Thomson), to the encroachment of builders wanting to turn Avonlea into a city. Supported by an amazing team of costume and location designers and five music directors, RTA is as authentic as any period show can get. I loved the music given for this series, especially the tune given by John Welsman for Gus Pike's character - a violin tune, it evokes all the beauty and pathos of his character. RTA ended on a bitter-sweet note. The sweet note being the much-awaited marriage of Felicity to Gus and the bitter note being the planned departure of one of the show's sweetest couples - Olivia and Jasper Dale. Their decision to leave Avonlea is a metaphorical announcement that things have changed in Avonlea - with the cannery disaster being a milder version of what Avonlea will face with the advent of the World War I. One can say that Kevin Sullivan has explored that element in his RTA reunion movie 'Happy Christmas Miss King' and in 'Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story'. As to the cast of RTA, they're all brilliant in their roles. I found myself especially identifying with Sarah Polley and Gema Z's character and the various predicaments they fall into. RTA is a representation of Kevin Sullivan at his best - never has the combination (in a TV costume drama series) of romance, comedy, and social and historical realism been more entertaining, endearing, and authentic! Road to Avonlea is one of my all-time favourite shows. So much so that, when I visited Prince Edward Island, I took time out to visit Dalvay-By-The-Sea - Avonlea's White Sands Hotel. Visiting the hotel was a surreal experience. I felt like (or rather wished) Hetty and Felix would walk right past me arguing over some nor something! Avonlea will always be special for me - always there to provide comfort and companionship when I need it.

jwmm_bp 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.

clasik1 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.
