Most of us, even those of us who don't have children, can recognize excellent children's programming when we see it, like the 80s made-for-television Anne of Green Gables.

A childhood classic that any adult can thoroughly appreciate. Inspiring, hopeful, funny, and utterly charming. Possibly the best miniseries ever produced for television.

Rated: 5/5

One of the greatest family films/miniseries' of all time. You're guaranteed to laugh, groan, cheer and cry. Every actor and actress perfectly inhabits their roles. You will enjoy it as much as your toddler.

This 1985 version of an of Green Gables is sublime. The acting is impeccable the musical score and the scenery is perfect! None of the other versions come close to this one. If you choose to watch this one make sure you watch the sequel and the Avonlea with the same actors Megan Fellows, and Colleen Dewhurst.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
