By now, I have lived a long and often exciting life, and Avonlea is the only series that I've found engaging to all generations. My daughter would come with her friends, my 'punked out' son would make a point of changing plans to watch, and my wife and I would plan around the Avonlea Evening as a refuge during a time of stress. The characters of all ages are engaging. My favorites were Sarah (angel) and Felix (imp). The issues were sometimes light, and often heavy. Death, duty, gossip, childhood fun, village rivalry on the hockey pond and romantic shyness. The writing, direction and acting was superb and I've even bought copies just to have for young families. It's the only program I know where both parents and children will be glued to the screen and feel something . . . each at a different level. It is truly a program for family sharing and bonding.Read full review

When I was younger, I used to love the Anne of Green Gables books and movies. When I found out about Avonlea, I just had to watch the series. The characters will soon become like family members as you watch them grow up and learn how to accept others and how to love. It is a wonderful show for the entire family to enjoy. Much better than most of the shows that are on tv now. This show comes highly recommended!
Tales of Avonlea is a Classic television show, I use to watch this with my parents when I was a little girl so now it has become quite a comfort to watch it once again... The only thing I dont recommend is buying this if you have a big screen tv. My husband and I have a 52" and its incredibly grainy on the tv... hope you enjoy it!! =]
wonderful series about early 20th century life on Prince Edward Island - great characters and story lines. Family is the central focus, but is also shows the prejudices that existed in small town life. Great series for kids and adults alike - I have missed this series since it went off the Disney Channel about 10 years ago.
I watched this series on the Mickey Mouse Club as a child. My best friend and our moms would curl up on the couch once a week, and dive into a world not so unlike our own. It was fascinating and touching. I still watch episodes often, it is something that will be in my memory and heart always. I highly recommend this series -- especially for mothers and daughters -- you'll never forget the magic you encountered in the world of Avonlea.
