About Road to Avonlea Season 3 - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables

From the producer of "Anne of Green Gables":

"Family programming filled with warmth and charm...." - LOS ANGELES TIMES

This 4-Disc DVD Boxset is the complete third season of "Road to Avonlea" / "Avonlea" (as shown on the Disney channel). Olivia's (Mag Ruffman) simple wedding plans get out of hand as Hetty (Jackie Burroughs) takes over and manages to alienate everyone in the family including Sara (Sarah Polley). Felix's (Zachary Bennett) humorous attempt at making money turns tragic as his horse, Blackie, dies in an accident. Avonlea hires an effervescent and charming new schoolteacher (Christopher Lloyd), whose unorthodox approach to teaching, inspires the children, but leaves the parents suspicious. Sara trades places with Jo Pitts, a street-smart waif who passes as Sara's double. However, as Sara leaves PEI for adventure, she only finds danger and mystery alongside Gus Pike (Michael Mahonen); while Felicity (Gema Zamprogna) lies about her family background in order to gain admission into a prestigious ladies college. On a sad note, this volume ends with the death of one of Avonlea's most beloved townsfolk, Marilla Cuthbert (Colleen Dewhurst); tying this episode into "Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel" and "Anne of Green Gables - The Continuing Story."

Road to Avonlea!!

I loved it!!!! Even better than season 1 and 2!!! But, of course I loved 1 and 2 too. Wonderful movies to watch with family and friend. August 19, 2008

You must see the two-part from Season 3

The episode "When she was bad, she was horrid" features the amazing acting talents of Sarah Polley, playing two parts, the sweet Sara Stanley, and the pick-pocket Jo Pitts. The young actress goes much deeper than some crude behavior and language. She walks, talks, even looks different in the two roles. Watch her face, and observer her, and you'll be impressed.
Of course, the rest of the episodes are classic, warm, Avonlea that we all love. The characters are flawed, but forgiving and seeking forgiveness. Would that the world were more like Avonlea.

Loved Every Minute

I loved Season 3 as much as I loved Seasons 1-2. I was thrilled that Jasper and Olivia get married. September 25, 2007

ROAD TO AVONLEA THE 3 SEASON

GREAT MOVIE YOU JUST WANT TO CONTINUE SEE THE SERIE May 15, 2007

Charming.

Charming children and adults get into fun predicaments. If you liked "Little House on the Prairie" or "Anne of Green Gables"; you should like this. Seasons 1-6 are excellent.

Beautiful scenery, farm, horses, period costumes, with women in pretty dresses, period sets, realistic characters, likeable characters, lively pace, and inviting activities, take you to a nicer place.

Christopher Reeve, from the movie "Superman", guest-stars in a melodrama, mysterious but lively episode "A Dark and Stormy Night" (Writer-Hart Hanson). Another good episode is where Sarah and Felicity babysit their little nephew who is a little terror; the "Friends & Relations" episode. Usually an episode is able to focus on just a few of the characters with depth; but in this unique episode, many of the characters interact, at a lively pace. Very creative that the writer (Heather Conkie) was able to involve everyone with depth (and I wonder if it was planned or just happened with the plot). The episode "Vows of Silence" has a scene that is very funny, and another quietly funny/charming scene (Writer-Hart Hanson).

Mr. Sullivan spared no expense to create warm and humorous escapades.

This series has been my best money value; dividing the 13-episodes by the cost: $51÷13 episodes = $3.92 per 46-minute episode. Sells new in Canada for $80.
