Hi everyone! For the past few weeks I've been trying to create pages for all the characters from Sullivan animated universe. Right now I must unwillingly take a break. Unfortunately, I own only the film and Volumes 4–6 and 7–9 of the TV series. I recently ordered Volumes 1–3 from Amazon and it should arrive in the second half of August (unless the order gets lost like it did last year – it was later found somewhere in Switzerland). I have no idea when I actually get the packet as it is being shipped to my Slovak address and I am not currently there. I don't want to create pages without proper pictures nor verified information, that's why I'll add the missing characters when I finally receive my order. When it comes to the 8 missing episodes (which have never been released on DVD)... I have Qubo recordings of some of the episodes and some can also be found online with Russian dubbing. I would rather wait for the episodes to be on Gazebo than to add screenshots in bad quality with Qubo or Russian TV logo.

However, there is one issue that's been on my mind for quite some time. As you may know, the Road to Avonlea episodes have three different episode orders – the CBC one, the Disney one and the official Sullivan Entertainment one. There IS a chance that Annetoon may be a similar case. Right now we use the SE listing which matches the PBS air dates. However, we always mention that the series was first aired in 2000–2001 in Canada. PBS aired the series in 2001–2002, one year later than the information we have. Also, PBS is an American station, not Canadian. Annetoon is very episodic and there is practically no continuity – or that's what I thought until I watched the 18th episode (also a missing one) "The Witch of Avonlea". Anne meets a Toad and wants to save him from Peg Bowen. At the end of the episode, the Toad magically transforms into Dryad who introduces himself and in this form appears in the remaining episodes. This suggests that "The Witch of Avonlea" is the first episode in the series. Which completely makes sense, but we need a proof to change the information and the episode order we use right now. We need an official statement or old Canadian TV schedules with episode titles and air dates.

I managed to find an alternative listing on the Avonlea Vignettes website (with "The Witch of Avonlea" being the first episode), but there was no source. I am enclosing the listing nonetheless. 1. "The Witch of Avonlea", 2. "A Better Mousetrap", 3. "Anne's Disappearing Allowance", 4. "No Anne is An Island", 5. "Chores Eclipsed", 6. "The Sleeves". 7. "Lost and Found", 8. "Idle Chatter", 9. "Taffy". 10. "Ice Cream Promise". 11. "Question of Rules", 12. "Carrots", 13. "Bully by the Horns", 14. "The Avonlea Herald", 15. "One True Friend", 16. "The Stray", 17. "The Best Partner", 18. "Babysitter Blues", 19. "The Swim of Things", 20. "A Square Peg". 21. "Marbles", 22. "Butterfly", 23. "A Walk In His Shoes", 24. "Oh Brother!", 25. "A Condition of Superstition", 26. "A Welcome Hero"
