Christy - A Change of Seasons [DVD]

I loved the Christy TV series and now these three additional episodes. Although I did have a problem identifying with the new characters, the scenery and the story line are the same. Well done!

Please remember, that each of the original cast were asked if they wanted to return and finished the story. But a lot of them chose Not to - including Kelly Martin ( Christy ) and Randall Batinkoff ( David).These newer Christy films were taken from Catherine Marshall's last known scribblings and notes she had written down for a sequel to the actual Christy Novel. "The producers drew Christy's ultimate romantic decision from notes for an unfinished sequel Christy novel that were discovered among Catherine Marshall's possessions after her death."While I too enjoy the original TV Series with Kelly Martin, I like these 3 new Christy movies just as much - if not more! :) I had been hunting down the DVDs of them and finally found them. Sadly with the Kelly Martin version, they did not stay faithful to the book in a lot of ways.I can highly recommend these newer Christy DVDs completely. They are: 1. Christy: Return to Cutter Gap, 2. Christy: A Change of Seasons and 3. Christy: A New Beginning

I grew up watching this. I love it.

We've read the book, watched the TV series, and bought all three of the DVD episodes. Although many of the actors are different than the TV series, we thought they did a good job and portrayed their parts with understanding and professionalism. I get a kick out of reading reviews where the actors are accused of over-acting. We especially watched for that. We didn't see any. Of course, I've only directed and/or produced over 500 films and videos with several Emmys and other awards so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the programs and can't wait until we can actually visit the site where Christy took place. We will view the series at least once a year. We recommend the series to anyone who enjoys celebrating the lives of people who make a difference in this world. Christy certainly did.

I loved the television show, and it was hard for me to get into the new characterizations of the characters. It was great to see some returning members, espically McLennan who played Neil McNeil. I think he really holds this mini-series together, and is the only person (other than a few of the Cutter Gap residents) who doesn't overact or seem fake in this movie.Maybe it's just hard for me to accept that different people are playing the beloved characters like Chirsty, and Miss Alice, etc. but I think I'm not alone when I say many of the characters didn't seem as realistic as they did in the series. The new Miss Alice probably seemed the most over-acted and fake out of everyone. Her "Thee's and thou's and thy's" just didnt cut it.However, all in all it was an excellent story and picks up where the series leaves off. The new Chirsty did a decent job (certainly better than I ever could) and it is worth buying or watching on television. I hope that PAX will create more "Christy" episodes, and even though I'm not really one for wholesome family television and christian shows, this really is a wonderful show for anyone.

We enjoie the original , bought this series wondering and now watching with pleasure . family dramatic viewing with life lessons tagged in it . Being TV episodes they are nice length when bored or , as we are , getting away from garbage broadcast and cable viewing ....

Great program. I like the idea of ending on a good "note" not a deadend.

Another great part of an excellent series of decent, moral, and family-friendly movies. I would highly recommend any of the Christy movies. These movies are taken from the book "Christy" by: Catherine Marshall, who was a strong Christian woman, who stood up for her faith in Jesus Christ.
