Most of us, even those of us who don't have children, can recognize excellent children's programming when we see it, like the 80s made-for-television Anne of Green Gables.

5/5

A childhood classic that any adult can thoroughly appreciate. Inspiring, hopeful, funny, and utterly charming. Possibly the best miniseries ever produced for television.

There is only one Anne and that is Megan Follows. You cannot beat this original series. Perfect casting, an amazing score and picturesque landscapes transport you back to turn-of-the-century Prince Edward Island. Even in 2026, this series is refreshing and innocent, heartwarming and funny. Must watch for anyone.
