it WAS way back in 1979. When the scene of Gary and Valene first arriving in Knots Landing is shown, the stars dissolve into laughter at the fact that Valene is wearing a summer dress and a pair or winter gloves!

One of the extras on the DVD with the final two episodes of the season is a reunion between Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark. They?re sitting on one of the front lawn in the cul-de-sac on the original set. They rib each other good-naturedly and there?s even a bit when Shackleford becomes a bit weepy when reminiscing about the good old days. I wasn?t 100% sure if he was really emotional but it didn?t seem faked.

Advantages: quite an interesting plot Disadvantages: plots a bit slow in places
I was looking forward to watching CharlotteGray. It was a film I?d wanted to see at the cinema, but hadn?t got round to. I ended up disappointed by it. It wasn?t truly awful I was able to watch it without thinking ?god when is this going to end?. It was just not as good as I thought it would be.

be ignored by the overall storyline.
I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children.
Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch.
******Conclusion*****
All these movies in the BoxSet; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would ...
