I have seen about three-fourths of the "Road to Avonlea" series on the Kermit Channel(somewhat related to the Oddyssey network in the U.S.). Now I have to finish watching it all. It's worth my time. The story is a bit slow but it did grow on me. When I feel unhappy and insecure, I always think of Avonlea and the adventures of its children and of its people. In that way, I can easily send myself off to dreamland(Avonlea is fictitious, isn't it?). When I'd like to think of friendship and romance, I think of Gus Pike and Felicity King. They're my favorite characters on the show. And it will always remain that way. "Road to Avonlea" has become a classic to me and I think it deserves to be shown on T.V. over and over again.

Conspiracy of Silence
(1991– )
a must-see miniseries
13 May 2000
I am compelled to say that this movie is awesome. The plot makes you feel suspicious. It's kind of dark, but you'll get to see some light at the end. Michael Mahonen was just as brilliant as the movie itself. He did a very great job. I have no doubts whatsoever why he got the Gemini acting award. Yes, I have seen him in the "Road to Avonlea" series as the lovable Gus Pike. And I happened to observe a great contrast in the characters(Lee Colgan and Gus Pike) he had played. This just means he is a very versatile actor. You should see this movie yourself. It's very telling and worthwhile.
