Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Awww! I grew up with Canadian tv shows, I love them. I have the first 2 seasons of Road to Avonlea on DVD. THey're kind-of expensive, but so worth it. I actually have these weird feelings about the theme song and I can't even discuss it without getting teary-eyed. LOL! I'm a nerd.

Have you ever seen Edgemont? They just started showing it here in Iowa. It's a lot like Degrassi, but newer. I love that stuff. Totally nuts. :lol:

p.s. my Canadian husband thinks I'm a weirdo for being so obsessed with these shows! Haha! When I visited him in Regina (SK) I spent 2 hours in the hotel room watching Road to Avonlea episodes. They used to play them on the Disney channel down here, but that was in the 1990s. I was so excited to see them on tv I jumped up and down. :blush:

I have every episode and every North of 60 movie. I wish it was still on the air, it may prompt me to turn on my television. Degrassi was kind of cool, but I was well into my 30's when that came out. Remember those hairstyles???? :lol: My mom loved Avonlea, by the way. I wan'st too much into it.

Hi Notrepetiteashley,

Good luck on your immigration journey. Yes, I do like that "Road to Avonlea" show. Olivia and Jasper, now those were interesting characters, indeed! I also like the "Anne of Green Gables" books (and yes, believe it or not, I'm in the midst of reading the "Anne of Green Gables" series books all over again) and movies (though the movie is kind of inaccurate in comparison to the book). Anne, that's a really interesting character, too! Remember Anne's "red carrot hair"? Gotta love Prince Edward Island (Anne of Green Gables Land, I call it) and the author L.M. Montgomery!

Other Canadian shows that I like besides "Road to Avonlea" are "Royal Canadian Air Farce" and "Mr. Dressup" (yes, I'm a kid at heart). Lol...I can't get CBC or Canadian tv here where I am living at (unless I drive to my Mother-In-Law's house and watch CBC there).

In the meantime, I've been getting my "Old fashioned/Pioneer Life" fix by watching "Little House on the Prarie". Still, it's not the same as old Canadian "Road to Avonlea/Anne of Green Gables" life on Prince Edward Island!

Ant

Anyone else love it as much as me? I adore that show. :)

You should pick up a season or two of RtA on ebay! Priceless. :)

Also, if you're interested in that time period, as I am, summers here in the US public television broadcasts a show where they take regular people and send them to live in another "time." There was Pioneer House, I think it was called, and Regency House, and one where they were in the wild west and had to take care of cows or something. Really good stuff. In fact, I think I'll go over to the public broadcasting website to see if there's a new one coming out this summer! Yay!

I like the Trailer Park Boys. I bought Mel the Christmas one, he thought it was funny.

I'll buy him the Trailer Park Boys movie, I think it out on DVD now.

I watched Road to Avonlea. I was always an Anne of Green Gables fan- I had the books and always watch it when it comes on. They always seem to air it when PBS does the fund raisers.

Hi Nortrepetiteashley,

Hmmm...that's a good idea, to find a copy of RtA somewhere. They have a copy of all of the Anne movies (I admit I didn't like Anne 3 though, as the first two Anne movies were better, still I think it's best to read the Anne books, and yes, read all 8 of them!) here at the local library, but I'll have to find RtA somewhere else. By the way, what's special about season two of RtA? Or is that the only season that they have on tape/DVD? Hmm..is that the season when the Jasper and Olivia got married, or when the cannery burned down, or something else? Did you ever see that "Happy Christmas Mrs.King Movie" too? Yes, the "pioneer period" of life is definitley interesting. Living in the rural countryside here in the USA, I am reminded of that often. Lol...it makes me tempted to build a log cabin or a cottage in the big field area in my backyard (just kidding, though there are old houses and barns around the area). Hmm...never knew about the Pioneer house and Regency house series. Will check into that and other pioneer life tv shows and movies too. Good luck in your pioneer life tv shows/movie searching too.

Sorry, I meant "a season or two" not season 2. LOL! But yes, Season 2 is pretty awesome! :lol:

Yes, I have Happy Christmas Miss King on DVD. I love to watch that at Christmastime. Last year I actually watched it 3 times in 3 days!

You have inspired me to go back and read those Anne books. I didn't like the 3rd movie, either. It was sad to see her all grown up and all that war stuff...no thanks.

Take care,

A.

LOL! I thought my husband and I were the only TPB fans here! I have seasons 1-4 and want season 5.

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourites! Joel says he will take me to PEI one of these days. :D

Hi Nortrepetiteashley,

Lol...Sorry for the misunderstanding...But yeah, I guess all the RtoA seasons are good to watch. I watched that "Happy Christmas Miss King" too when it first aired on CBC in Canada. Too bad that Felix had to go to war though. I'll have to search around here and see if they have a copy of it at the library, or somewhere else. Wow, you must be a real RtoA fan since you watched it so much! By the way, Sarah Polley (the character Sarah) is in other movies in the USA, I think, and Mag Ruffman (Olivia) does some home repair show in Canada and is a licensed contractor, so I've heard.

As for the Anne books, I'm glad that you're inspired to read them too. I've just finished with Anne book #6, and will get to Anne books #7 and #8 (I think those two were more about here kids) soon. And no (note: spoiler here), in the books, unlike the movie, Anne and Gilbert do not go off to war....

Ant (An Anne, RtoA, and L M Montgomery fan....)

Sorry, I meant "a season or two" not season 2. LOL! But yes, Season 2 is pretty awesome! :lol:

Hi Karen Cee,

Good luck on your immigration journey. Likewise, Anne of Green Gables is one of my favourites too! Yes, you should definitely visit PEI, where the roads are red and the scenery is green and Anne of Green Gables rules!....A fantastic place to visit, indeed! Sigh, I wish I could go and visit there again....
