Determination, faith, and optimism are powerful forces that enable individuals to positively affect the lives of themselves and others. Christy, a captivating 1994 television series based on the book by Catherine Marshall and reminiscent of the Anne of Green Gables and Little House on the Prairie series, is the story of an idealistic 19-year-old woman named Christy Huddleston (Kellie Martin) who sets out for the wilderness of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee in 1912 on a mission to educate the children of the remote community of Cutter Gap. A well-to-do girl raised in the city, Christy is shocked and completely unprepared for the extreme poverty, ignorance, and superstitious tendencies of Cutter Gap's people, but resolves to persevere in her commitment to better the lives of her young students. Each day brings a fresh lesson for the children and a new struggle that inspires Christy to draw upon and re-examine her own faith while striving to disprove local superstitions and replace long-held animosities and prejudices with virtues like forgiveness and respect. Christy is surrounded by a handful of allies in Cutter Gap that include fellow missionary Miss Alice Henderson (Tyne Daly), whom she idolizes for her strength, resolve, and mentorship; Fairlight Spencer (Tess Harper), a local woman who offers Christy the rare gift of friendship; mission preacher Reverend David Grantland (Randall Batinkoff), a hard worker who immediately becomes smitten with Christy; and local Doctor Neil MacNeill (Stewart Finlay-McLennan) whose gruff manner and atheistic beliefs both confuse and excite Christy. Eventually, Christy finds she's fallen in love with both Reverend Grantland and Doctor MacNeill and embarks on a very personal journey toward maturity while simultaneously succeeding in her quest to educate the children of Cutter Gap and affect significant positive change throughout the entire community. (Ages 9 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - a bit confusing...
We saw the movie "christy" which i think was just the pilot part 1 and 2 mashed together. but, other than that I think this was very good.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Video
I am very pleased with the Christy. I can find nearly anything I want at Amazon.com
I love it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful series!
I have read and loved the novel twice. And now I love the tv series! There are some changes in the order of the story and what actually happens. However, even with the changes I think it's a great series. Lots of love and adventure in Cutter Gap! I'm very glad I have purchased it. It is definitely a series to be watched over and over.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Does not uphold the values portrayed in the book by Catherine Marshall
I was VERY disappointed by the complete changing of some major points in the original story line in Catherine Marshall's book that result in portrayal of very un-Christian values. (Marrying a divorced person should NEVER be viewed as an option for a Christian). Don't waste your time -read the book. It is much better written and actually far more believable than the TV series.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Interesting, challenging, wholesome, beautiful
I bought this season for my wife, knowing how much she enjoys Little House on the Prairie. We had never heard or seen these before. I watched the first one with her and got hooked. Similar in many ways to Anne of Green Gables (though I like this better). This is very well written, wonderfully acted, and the Smoky Mountain scenery and musical scores are beautiful. An excellent family show with Christian themes.
