I'm scared.  I still watch this version on the regular.  I love it so much.

    Confession:

    I don't know it's because I grew up near and toured this house as a child, but I will forever associate The House of Seven Gables with Anne of Green Gables.  As far as I know they are not linked in any way, but somewhere in the back of my head this is Anne's house and it took place in New England and now PEI.

    Where do you find AOGG to watch? I loved that and Avonlea. I don't want a re-make, the whole cast just had such magic leave well enough alone.

    I own them on DVD. Is that really lame?

    Before that I taped them on TV from PBS, including the telethons. haha.

    Confessions: I've never read or seen Anne of Green Gables or Avonlea.

    I have been to the House of Seven Gables, though.  I got in trouble for disappearing into a closet that I guess was off limits, but no one told me that until they couldn't find me.  Oops.

    Not at all. I was going to binge this weekend if it was avb. via Netflix. My bucket list includes a trip to PEI so I can be like Anne with an E <3

    How does one go from Breaking Bad to Anne of Green Gables?  I will probably watch it, because I loved Anne growing up, but I'll have to reserve any judgment until I know who is cast.
