Editorial Review:
From the producer of "Anne of Green Gables":
"Road to Avonlea is solid, engrossing family fare with classy acting, splendid photography and a fine period look." - VARIETY
This 4-Disc DVD Boxset is the complete second season of "Road to Avonlea" / "Avonlea" (as shown on the Disney channel). Sarah Stanley (Sarah Polley) and her cousins continue to wreak havoc and land in trouble, much to the adults' dismay and disapproval. In addition to the light-hearted and fun-filled stories that dominated the first volume, each of these episodes is a textured and compelling exploration of life in the mythical farming village of Avonlea. This second volume is a treasure trove of adventure, mystery and romance, family rivalry and comedy.

Road to Avonlea Season 2 Reviews:
great 
2009-10-15 - the second season of Road to Avonlea is just as lively and full of character and spunk as the first one. the first season ended with sarah deciding to stay in avonlea with her family instead of returning to Montreal with her father, and the second season takes up where the first left off. this season focuses on allowing the audience to acquaint themselves with the residents of avonlea, instead of using the people of avonlea to develop sarah's character, which is what i felt the first season did more. in many of the episodes sarah doesn't play an inciting role as she did in the first season, she's just more along for the ride here, which unfortunately forshadows future seasons. i personally most enjoy the episodes that focus on the king family, and while i value and enjoy the time given to going into the lives of some of the other town members, i wanted the story to focus more on the king children/ adults. i loved marilla and rachel in anne of green gables, i already know who they are and have watched the anne movies enough times over to have familiarized myself with their personalities and dynamic. seeing them in road to avonlea is nice and provides familiarity, but i find that i don't really enjoy the episodes focused on them as i do when they're just side characters as i already know who they are.
but the focus on other people provides the viewers with an outside perspective of the king family. this is one of the reasons this show is so rich and intricately woven. the story isn't told from just one perspective, but from many perspectives. so one minute we are seeing from the perspective of one person, and the next from another who shows us a different perspective on the first person. so for example, if we were to see from hetty king's perspective, we would see her pride and sense of honour and need to do what's right, but from say, rachel lynd's perspective, or many of the other town's people, even sarah sometimes, hetty is stubborn and heartless and cares only for the king name. so we get two sides of the story.
this is as good, if not better than the first season as the children are a bit older, and therefore a bit better at acting, and the chatacters and story are fleshed out a bit more. great continuation
missing two episodes 
2009-09-30 - transaction was smooth. package came in decent amount of time. but the the way the disc are set up, two episodes are on side a and you flip the disc over to side b for two more episodes. my disc 3 is missing its two episodes. and i looked up all the episodes of season two, and they are key episodes to the series :/
Loved it
2009-06-25 - Made me wish there was a season 3. We need more of these kind of movies instead of the junk they spewing out.
Excellent Seller
2009-06-04 - Great seller, got the product to me just after Mothers Day but I was a late buyer. Excellent condition, will do business with them again.
