Thank you for your reply and work! I am glad we finally have a proof that the series was first aired on TVO. I am curious as well about the information Kerissa has on her website, but it seems to be inactive. Benjamin Lefebvre could be a good source of information. I was also thinking about contacting the Sullivan Entertainment directly – they recently answered me when I asked them about the 8 missing episodes. Maybe it is worth trying... :)

Regarding the anime episodes... well, someone apparently discoverd our Wiki.

So far I've watched the episodes I ordered last year, Volumes 4–6 ("Carrots!", "A Bully by the Horns", "Chores Eclipsed", "The Stray", "The Best Partner" and "A Question of Rules") and 7–9 ("Taffy", "Idle Chatter", "Lost and Found", "The Ice Cream Promise", "A Better Mousetrap" and "A Walk in His Shoes"). I recently ordered Volumes 1–3 (the packet apparently arrived today according to my mom), which contains "Babysitter Blues", "One True Friend", "The Sleeves", "Butterflies!", "The Avonlea Herald" and "Oh Brother".

I have 4 of them as Qubo recordings – you may remember that I wrote to the SE on behalf of a YouTube user who uploaded them and the SE then blocked his channel. Before they did that, I managed to download the episodes from YouTube. "One True Friend" is available on the SE YouTube Channel. Out of the Volumes 1–3 collection, I haven't seen "Oh Brother" yet.

When it comes to the 8 missing episodes, thanks to the aforementioned user I've seen and have a Qubo recording of "The Swim of Things", "The Witch of Avonlea" and "A Condition of Superstition". And although I remember watching "A Square Peg!", "Marbles!" and "No Anne is an Island" when I was a kid (they used to broadcast is here with Czech dubbing when I was 6-7 years old), I haven't seen it them English. I've also never seen "A Welcome Hero" and "Anne's Disappearing Allowance".

To sum up... so far I've seen 20 out of 26 episodes in English. Most of the 6 remaining episodes can be found online in a really good quality, however, with Russian dubbing so I don't understand much. Practically, I can say I've seen every episode – either in English on the DVDs or Qubo, in Czech when I was a kid or very quickly (just to get the basic idea) in Russian.

The show is definitely for kids, but surprisingly I enjoy watching it as an adult too. Some of the episodes are rather weak or probably not as entertaining as the others (for example "Lost and Found"), but there are some I really liked and found charming – "The Best Partner", "The Ice Cream Promise" or "A Walk in His Shoes".
