Christy Change of Seasons
The Movies summed up the tv series, but missed the original actors. They seemed to leave out a little of the original charm and did not think the sets were as beautiful as the tv series either but I enjoyed them any way.

i guess if it's for the sake of finishing the story...
i'll give it props for picking up the shattered pieces of christy fan's hearts everywhere...but--this was awful...k...the original christy (and by original--i mean original tv series) was supposed to be all tiny and uncommon pretty...this chick is eye to eye with david...who--i might add--looks a lot like piglet and he makes the most awful facial expressions...i.e. in a cave with dr. ferrand (i think in the 3rd of this series)..anyway--i appreciate everyone who was in the original cast who came out...that was awesome...i'm sorry to the other actors--they just didn't pull it off...especially christy and miss alice...it's not even filmed on the original location...and what is up with fairlight?!?! she should've played christy...christy should've played fairlight...at best! grrr...why did the tv series end anyways?

Christy-A Change of Seasons
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.

Christy- A Change Of Seasons
I just love all the christy dvds I have watched them over and over again with my grandchrilden. They also loved them. I truly believe it has taught them alot about sharing caring and helping others. wanda wogaman

Christy - A Change of Seasons
As I had watched the original series, the differences were very apparent in the change of actors, location and characters and even the theme of the story. It would have been nicer to have had the ending of the original series as the flow wasn't good. I was very disappointed with their new take on the original series.

Caution: Watch with an open mind!
After having watched the 20 episodes of the original Christy series, I was dismayed and disappointed with these subsequent videos. Not only are some key actors and actresses missing but the entire atmosphere of "Cutter's Gap" is topsy-turvy compared to the original episodes. I feel for the returning actors and actresses (Neil McNeil, Tom, Opal, etc.) that had to watch this change take place and still try to respond like the old characters did to their surroundings. These new videos (in my humble opinion) demean the mountain people whereas in the original there was nobility to their characters even in the midst of their ignorance. Not only that, but the handling of God and Christianity in these new videos is ridiculous -- throwing around cutsy little sayings, etc. with no depth.
Unlike the originals, these videos portray life there in one dimension. There are too many dramatic elements just seemingly thrown in for the sake of action -- no real thinking behind the events. It seems to me someone meant well but missed the mark completely. Very sad. I could easily just get up and walk away from these movies even as badly as I wanted to see the outcome for Christy's marital decision.
So I caution those that were touched and moved by the original episodes. They were truly over with the last episode depicting Christy holding her engagement ring from David in one hand and Doc McNeil riding up on his little horse (they do give him a larger, more handsome horse in the new videos). Finishing those episodes in your mind is much better than contaminating them with these new imposter videos.
Thank you for the space to air my thoughts.
p.s. I am told by my daughter, and I agree to an extent, that the new actresses for Ruby Mae and Fairlight were the only ones that lived up to the original characters.
