Product Description

From the producer of "Anne of Green Gables":

"Stunningly filmed with the kind of expansive outdoor vista and attention to authenticity rarely seen on weekly television" - LOS ANGELES TIMES

This 4-Disc DVD Boxset is the complete fourth season of "Road to Avonlea" / "Avonlea" (as shown on the Disney channel). Olivia (Mag Ruffman) and Jasper (R.H. Thompson) await the birth of their first baby. Meanwhile, Hetty (Jackie Burroughs) resigns from teaching to pursue a writing career and develops a secret friendship with the new schoolteacher, Clive Pettibone (David Fox). Sara (Sarah Polley) experiences her first adolescent heartache, when she falls for an aging Wild West show cowboy, played by Treat Williams; while Felicity's (Gema Zamprogna) friendship with Gus Pike (Michael Mahonen) turns serious. Looking for places to invest her money, Hetty becomes a not-so-silent partner in the White Sands Hotel and proceeds to make Simon Tremayne's (Ian D. Clark) life a living hell. The finale sees Hetty and Jasper working together to make a "home movie" in order to save Avonlea from the hands of a ruthless land developer.

Customer Reviews

Charming!

Charming children and adults get into various 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 and sets, pretty dresses, realistic characters, likeable characters, lively pace, some humor, and inviting activities, take you to a nicer place.

The episode, "The Lady and the Blade" (writer: Deborah Nathan) introduces interesting new characters: the new school teacher, Colonel Clive Pettibone, and his stand-at-attention children. Clive and Hetty are aspiring daring-adventure & dramatic-romance novelists.

The episode "Hearts and Flowers" (writer Hart Hanson) has Chef Pierre La Pierre's truly French niece coming to visit from her convent school and becoming infatuated with a completely innocent (Goose Pike) Gus, to the jealously of Felicity.

This season has my favorite episode, "The Dinner", the romance of Gus and Felicity. Felicity desires to be courted by Gus, without the teasing of the other children. If they can only talk alone. The very end is so subtle, yet so funny, a brilliant ending; (written by Heather Conkie).

Mr. Sullivan spared no expense to create a variety of 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.

Wholesome Family Show
I have been ordering the Road to Avonlea series over the past two months. I have never seen them although I loved the Anne of Green Gables series made for TV. My children and I cannot get enough of them and before I know it we have finished a season and I order another one. We sometimes have to wait for the next season to come in the mail and my children ask me every day if the next series has come. I finished season one through four and decided to order the remaining 5-7 season series its just to good to wait for them to come in the mail. Absolutely Love Them!

Perfect family time!!!
I liked this season too. If I compare this Season with the Season 1-2-3, I laughed or cried less :) May be little bit less action than the earlier seasons but still good. If you are planning to buy you should go head. You will meet with new Felicity.
