The Adventures of Spin and Marty premiered on The Mickey Mouse Club in 1955 and scored an instant hit. Like many of Disney's most successful creations, Spin and Marty was a simple story. Rich, coddled Martin Markham (David Stollery) arrives at the Triple R in his grandmother's limousine and dismisses the dude ranch for boys as "a dirty old farm." His comment angers everyone, especially Spin Evans (Tim Considine), the most popular boy on the ranch. Over the course of the summer, Marty learns to relax and make friends; he and Spin become best buddies. Humor and wisdom are dispensed by wrangler Ollie (Leonard P. Greer), "Well I'll be a blue-nosed gopher!"; Marty's fussy butler, Perkins (J. Pat O'Malley); avuncular foreman Bill Burnett (Harry Carey, Jr.); and George (Sammee Tong), the Chinese cook, who regales the boys with Western songs in Cantonese. The characters proved so popular Disney brought them back in The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty (1957) and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty (1957).

For Baby Boomers, Spin and Marty packs the kind of nostalgic wallop the "Andy Hardy" movies and The Wizard of Oz had for earlier generations. During the '50s, millions of kids dreamed of spending the summer at the Triple R. In More Tales of the City, Armistead Maupin suggests that whether you identify with Spin or Marty constitutes a key division in American society, comparable to who your favorite Beatle was. In the extras, a dismayingly old Considine and Stollery revisit the ranch in Newhall, CA, where the series was filmed. This set is a sure-fire gift choice for aging Boomers. (Unrated, suitable for all ages: minor violence) --Charles Solomon

Description

"Yipp-i, yipp-a, yippi-o!" THE ADVENTURES OF SPIN AND MARTY was an overwhelmingly popular series within THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB. Featured here is the entire first season (1955) about freckle-faced Spin and wealthy city kid Marty at the Triple R Ranch summer camp. Adding to the fun are exclusive interviews with the original cast members and a special tour of the original filming site.

So saddle up and enjoy all the stories -- the ones you know and the ones you don't.

Spoiled rich kid comes to Tripple R.......2007-06-23

Martin Markum is a spoiled rich kid who comes to the Tripple R ranch. He is trouble right from the start. He calls the tripple R a Dirty old farm. When the the other boys play a joke on Marty by putting a frog in his bunk, Knowing that it was Spin's Idea-Marty wants to knock his block off. There's a boxing match between Spin & Marty. Yep-that's how they do things at the tripple R-whenever two kids wants to fight-a boxing match is formed. Marty puts up a real good fight-the match is declared a draw.

Bill Burnett(Harry Carrey, JR)is the ranch counseler in charge of straightening out Marty. His Job won't be easy because Marty is stubborn. Marty gets himself into a jam when he tells the other boys that he plays polo. Before that he tells Burnett that he's never been on a horse before. As Mr Burnett points out "For someone who's never been on a horse, you sure picked yourself a hobby"

Early on Marty makes friends with Ambition & Freddie. Marty also meets skyrocket-a horse. A special bond is formed between skyrocket and Marty. In time Marty becomes friends with more of the boys and becomes easier to get along with. However, when the truth comes out that Marty never played Polo-he tries to run away-but he decides to go back to the ranch.

Spread out over 25 10 min episodes, this serial aired as part of the Mickey Mouse club in the mid 50's. It's nice having the entire serial on DVD. The story culimates with the Big rodeo between Tripple R and Northfork. Spin and Marty become freinds. Marty will never be the same again.

This is fun to watch. Boys were allowed to be boys. There's some funny moments-besides the frog incident, there a scene where Ambition and Freddie "Fixed" Marty's jeans! Then there's the Live ghost trick that Marty and ambition played on Spin & two others.

This is clean wholesome fun from Disney.

fantastic nostalgia.......2007-05-13

I havent seen Spin & Marty since it first aired on TV in Australia back in the late 50's-60's and was over the moon to find this on DVD. As a young girl crazy about horses I wished I was able to go to that ranch to ride the horses, and so each afternoon after school I would get lost in the adventures that Spin & Marty had. Only now after watching it as an adult do you realise that there was underlying messages such as teamwork, co-operation, and importantly,tolerance of others.
The reproduction is quite good considering it is 50 years old.
I highly recommend any fan of the early Mickey Mouse Club series to have this in their collection and I can only hope they release the other two series.

Spin and Marty.......2007-04-05

This is a great Walt Disney collection. It brings back childhood memories of why I hurried home from school every afternoon.

Fabulous memories.......2007-03-17

This was my favorite show when I was a kid, and I'm happy to say that it stands up well. I watched it with my sister and my kids, and we all enjoyed it very much, even the kids who had never heard of it before.

Great DVD.......2007-01-27

If you grew up with the Mickey Mouse Club this is a great DVD to own.

A Great Compilation Of A Great Show.......2007-05-18

"Spin City" remains one of my all-time favorite shows. The cast was fantastic and the writing was excellent. This DVD is a collection of episodes handpicked by Michael J Fox and feature introductions by the star himself.

The collection features several memorable moments and guest stars like Woody Harrelson and Meredith Baxter.

This is a great collection of episodes that any "Spin City" fan should love.

I enjoyed watching Spin City. Michael Fox speaking before each episode and giving a little inside information about the episode was nice. I had a little problem with one episode it froze on part of the section but that was the only problem I encountered.

Spin City is one of the greatest TV shows ever, and I would love to have all the episodes, not just a selected few!! This is ridiculous, I have the money, and I am willing to spend it!! But they don't want my money!! Is this stupid or what? And then they scream law and order, when people start downloading the show from the internet for free.. they leave us no choice. I just don't get it..

Description

From the producer of "Anne of Green Gables":

"Family programming filled with warmth and charm...." - LOS ANGELES TIMES

This 4-Disc DVD Boxset is the complete third season of "Road to Avonlea" / "Avonlea" (as shown on the Disney channel). Olivia's (Mag Ruffman) simple wedding plans get out of hand as Hetty (Jackie Burroughs) takes over and manages to alienate everyone in the family including Sara (Sarah Polley). Felix's (Zachary Bennett) humorous attempt at making money turns tragic as his horse, Blackie, dies in an accident. Avonlea hires an effervescent and charming new schoolteacher (Christopher Lloyd), whose unorthodox approach to teaching, inspires the children, but leaves the parents suspicious. Sara trades places with Jo Pitts, a street-smart waif who passes as Sara's double. However, as Sara leaves PEI for adventure, she only finds danger and mystery alongside Gus Pike (Michael Mahonen); while Felicity (Gema Zamprogna) lies about her family background in order to gain admission into a prestigious ladies college. On a sad note, this volume ends with the death of one of Avonlea's most beloved townsfolk, Marilla Cuthbert (Colleen Dewhurst); tying this episode into "Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel" and "Anne of Green Gables - The Continuing Story."

ROAD TO AVONLEA THE 3 SEASON.......2007-05-15

GREAT MOVIE YOU JUST WANT TO CONTINUE SEE THE SERIE

Charming........2007-04-06

Charming children and adults get into fun predicaments. If you liked "Little House on the Prairie" or "Anne of Green Gables"; you should like this. Seasons 1-6 are excellent.

Beautiful scenery, farm, horses, period costumes, with women in pretty dresses, period sets, realistic characters, likeable characters, lively pace, and inviting activities, take you to a nicer place.

Christopher Reeve, from the movie "Superman", guest-stars in a melodrama, mysterious but lively episode "A Dark and Stormy Night" (Writer-Hart Hanson). Another good episode is where Sarah and Felicity babysit their little nephew who is a little terror; the "Friends & Relations" episode. Usually an episode is able to focus on just a few of the characters with depth; but in this unique episode, many of the characters interact, at a lively pace. Very creative that the writer (Heather Conkie) was able to involve everyone with depth (and I wonder if it was planned or just happened with the plot). The episode "Vows of Silence" has a scene that is very funny, and another quietly funny/charming scene (Writer-Hart Hanson).

Disney spared no expense to create warm and humorous escapades.

This series has been my best money value; dividing the 13-episodes by the cost: $51÷13 episodes = $3.92 per 46-minute episode. Sells new in Canada for $80.

great season for a great show!.......2004-05-05

Road to Avonlea is my all-time favourite television show, and I'm so pleased that it's becoming available on DVD. Season 3 is an excellent season, and in my opinion, one of the best. There is great character development as the children (especially Felicity) begin to grow up. We also get to see another side of Aunt Janet (other than as Alec's wife), as well as more episodes with Gus Pike. The focus is becoming less on Sara Stanley (although she is still a main character) and more on the rest of the King family.
My only complaint with this DVD is the lack of bonus features. I hope the next RtA DVD includes features such as cast interviews, behind-the-scenes, and bonus footage.

episodes on this DVD (I put a * next to my favourites):

*The Ties that Bind - Olivia and Jasper's wedding! very funny, and very touching

Felix and Blackie - Felix starts a delivery service with his horse, Blackie.

*Another Point of View - Aunt Hetty resigns from teaching Avonlea School, and she is replaced by Professor Dimple, who introduces the students to modern ways of learning.

When she was bad...she was horrid (2 parts) - Sara gets fed up with Aunt Hetty controlling her life, so she runs away and leaves a double (Jo Pitts) in her place.

Aunt Janet Rebels - Aunt Janet campaigns for women's rights to vote.

A Dark and Stormy Night - Gus gets a job at the White Sands hotel and falls for a mysterious guest.

*Friends and Relations - the ladies are off to an auction while the men go ice fishing. Sara and Felicity must mind their mischievous cousin "Lucky".

Vows of Silence - Felicity "borrows" her mother's valuable family heirloom and loses it. She is afraid to confess the truth until she fears it will be too late.

After the Honeymoon - Jasper entertains a (female) scientist Sidney Carver, who is researching bats. Olivia tries to support Jasper, even though she finds the work horrifying.

*The Calamitous Courting of Hetty King - Aunt Hetty is wooed by a dynamic skate salesman, Wally Higgins.

*High Society - Felicity is offered a chance at a scholarship at the prestigious Kingsport Ladies College.

Spin City - Michael J. Fox Vol 2.......2006-03-01

It was great to watch Spin City. Michael J Fox speak before each eposide and that was enjoyable.

Spin City minus Michael Fox"s Comments.......2005-09-12

I enjoyed the shows on the dvd. I did not like having to hear Michael Fox's commentary on each episode. Also, I would like to have the entire first season and let me choose my favorites.

Why deprive us from the rest of the show ?.......2005-07-14

I can only agree with S.Williams from Chicago. I mean, after watching each episode of every season featuring Michael J. Fox on french TV (in english, the french dubbed version sucks), then watching the rerun, how frustrated I was to see they only issued some kind of "best of". How can there be a best of when every episode was so good, so funny, so hilarating ? I did buy every boxset of the Seinfeld series, and I love to watch every episode one after another, in chronological order. But believe me, I will NOT spend my money on these 2 volumes, even when they were chosen by Fox himself. I'm only sorry he got dragged into this. I mean, how could these TV managers decide what episodes I should buy and watch again and again ? Hey guys, I'm way over 13, I earn my own money, please let me spend it like I please ! And give us boxsets with EVERY episode of every season. This I will buy. Not any pre-chosen crap. Putting this on the market instead of what I want is disrespect. Shame on you people !
Rene

Where's the rest of it???.......2005-01-23

Loved the show, both when it originally aired and in re-runs. I just wish they'd put out the complete seasons like most other shows are doing. I'd like to pick my own favorites as opposed to relying on Michael J. Fox's. I don't think it's worth buying until they release the complete seasons.

Pure Hilarity.......2003-08-26

Though I haven't actually seen which episodes Michael J. Fox has included has his "favorites", I can say, that after watching Spin City re-runs for the last 3 years, that the show is quite simply, hilarious. The cast are perfect for their roles (No one could have protrayed Mayor Randal Winston as perfectly as Barry Bostwick). The dialouge is witty, the story-lines creative. Several episodes I have seen numerous times I still laugh out loud at. I am pleased to see the series coming to DVD, and am anxious to see what episodes are Fox's "favorites". I'd recommend Spin City to anyone looking for some good old fashioned laugh out loud, innocent comedy. I'd bet that if Michael J. Fox hadn't been stricken with Parkinson's Disease, (thoughts and prayers for him and his family), the show would still be going strong today.

ROAD TO AVONLEA THE COMPLETE SIX SEASON.......2007-05-15

THAT IS A GRAT MOVIE YOU JUST WANT TO SEE ALL OF IT.

Pleasant........2007-04-06

Season-six weakens in episode consistency compared to earlier seasons. Out of 13-espisodes, 8 are pleasant, 2 break believability without the real Cecily, and 3 are good. None reach the level of excellent, reached in some episodes of earlier seasons. However, the pleasant stories of Avonlea do continue, so I am happy enough with my purchase.

Sarah appears in one episode.

A different actress plays Cecily, appearing and starring in two episodes. The original actress, in spite of the small part, created a likeable and memorable Cecily with a distinct personality; that she could not be replaced without notice. The two emotional Cecily episodes depend on the audience remembering and liking the original Cecily, but then switch someone else as Cecily. Who's idea was that? If they were unable to sign the original actress for another season after flowers and gifts, they would have done better to leave Cecily out entirely.

This season has less scenic outdoor photography that was so appealing.

The touted "Behind-the-scenes" is only a "preview" of this DVD that you have already bought, and the producer saying it is a nice season.

The writers of my favorite episodes of the early seasons, Heather Conkie, Suzette Couture, and Hart Hanson, are missing this season; (there are other excellent writers too).

These disappointments should be forgiven, in light of this wonderful series. It really is a great series.

You should start with the first season. Charming children and adults get into fun predicaments. If you liked "Little House on the Prairie" or "Anne of Green Gables"; you will like this. The realistic, likeable, characters are people that I would like to know. Avonlea is a place that I would like to visit, with beautiful countryside, farm, horses, period costumes and sets, women in pretty dresses, charm, some humor, interesting activities, and a lively pace.

Disney spared no expense creating fun escapades.

I am a fan of L M Montomery's work and I love how Kevin Sullivan can turn her books into wonderful productions.
Anne of Green Gables , the sequel and the continuing story are loved by so many people around the world
and this movie turn series that lasted seven seasons is no exception.
If you enjoyed the Anne Movies or/and books by L M Montomery you will not be disappointed with this production.
I have brought this and An Avonlea Christmas for my friends.

2 episodes = 1 movie.......2006-06-26

If you haven't seen the Road to Avonlea series this would be a good way to find out if you are going to like it. I liked it and am now buying the series.

Basically, the movie is episodes 1 and 6 cut and edited together to make a reasonably coherent movie. There is a bit of a continuity jump in the middle but that is to be expected.

Road to Avonlea is based on L M Montgomery ('Anne of Green Gables' Fame )stories about Sara Stanley a "poor little rich girl" sent to live with relatives on Prince Edward Island.

It has all the charm and grace of "Anne of Green Gables" and all the humour too. If you are looking for a family friendly movie then this has a lot going for it.

The disk has a small extras section giving some backgound to the series. If you want to know more about the series have a look at the reviews for seasons 1-7.

A Family Friendly movie at a Great Price.......2006-12-15

I loved watching the Anne of Green Gables movies when they came out in the 80's.
When Road to Avonlea series aired on Australian TV in the 90's. I again loved watching the program. When I found out that the series was now on DVD. I purchased all the seasons.
I found Avonlea Christmas on Amazon at a very good price $9.99. I puchased it without a second thought.
I found the movie very enjoyable to watch. It is a clean family friendly movie with family values.
These days it is hard to find a movie that can actually be called a family movie.
I would recommend this DVD to anyone who loved watching Anne of Green Gables.

A rather disappointing reunion for the "Avonlea" cast.......2004-01-23

Think of having a "Friends" reunion with only four of the characters (your pick) and you get an idea of why fans of "Avonlea" (a.k.a. "Road to Avonlea") were less than thrilled with this 1998 television movie. The premise of "Happy Christmas, Miss King" is that the King family has gathered together during the First World War to celebrate Christmas, but word comes that Felix has been listed as missing in action in France. Other plot lines have Aunt Hetty (Jackie Burroughs) hurting her back, Aunt Olivia (Mag Ruffman) thinking of moving back to Avonlea, and Felicity (Gema Zamprogna) trying to find a new career. The problem is that which each of these last three plotlines each character is missing their key counterpart from the series: Sara Stanley, Jasper Dale, and Gus Pike respectively. The Story Girl and the two husbands appear in old footage, but that just emphasizes the fact that they should have been there.

The story is by Raymond Storey, although those who have read the entire Lucy Maud Montgomery canon will recognize the son missing in action bit from "Rilla of Ingleside," the last of the Anne of Green Gables books. In a sense, that novel becomes my basis for comparison as much as the original series, because that is the one book I have read that really gave me a sense for what the First World War was like for the people of Canada. The war went on for years before the United States entered and Montgomery really gave a sense of how long it was, whereas "Happy Christmas, Miss King" takes place during the holiday season. However, to be fair, this story is not as disappointing as the "Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story," which finds Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe still not married during the war years. Too bad, because "Rilla of Ingleside" was one of Montgomery's better novels because of its treatment of what happened during that time.

It was nice to see familiar faces, such as Cedric Smith as Alec King, and Patricia Hamilton as Mrs. Rachel Lynde, but if you are going to bring most of the cast back it should have been for something more special than this. Dealing with the war really should have been the dominant focus without the half-hearted efforts to get us up to date on some of the characters. Against the backdrop of a world war the petty marital squabbles of Olivia and Felicity seem rather childish. Besides, the television series ended with Felicity's marriage and it is just wrong to throw out that happy ending without serving some greater purpose than what we have here. "Happy Christmas, Miss King" will disappoint most viewers, simply because of the heightened expectations they will have based on their memories of the beloved series. Fans will want to see it, but they should do so with lowered expectations.

Heartwarming Avonlea Christmas Story.......2003-01-01

Note: This DVD is the same movie as the earlier released "Happy Christmas, Miss King".

I really enjoyed this movie. From what I remember, it was filmed and released after the Road to Avonlea series had finished filming its 7 seasons. The movie stays true to the Avonlea characters and scenery.

For one of the reasons that Kevin Sullivan stopped the filming of the charming RTA series... the Christmas movie shows the time of war. The boys of Avonlea (including Felix King) go to war and all the innocence of Avonlea is temporarily lost.

However, this is a Christmas movie, and 'The Road to Avonalea Christmas' depicts the Christmas theme with all the charm and detail that the Road to Avonlea series has brought us.

I would definitely add this DVD to your personal or child's collection.

Happy Christmas a return to old friends for the holidays.......2002-11-13

We enjoyed seeing the cast of Avonlea again, although there were so many changes from when we when we cancelled the Disney Channel and stopped getting the series, that some of it was difficult to follow or understand.
Still, the show was an excellent entry in the Avonlea saga, and we definately enjoyed it.
What I'd really like to see is season sets on DVD, then we can enjoy the entire series again.

A treasure for die-hard series fans!.......2000-06-08

Olivia visits from England with Montgomery donning an accent. Clara Potts now disdainingly refers to Felicity as "Felicity Pike!" Felix has put aside the hospitality business to fight in WWI. Daniel is a student of Hetty's and Hetty is exactly the same. How wonderful to follow up on an extended family I feel is an extention of my own!

Alright, so our beloved Jasper, Sarah, and Gus are absent (Sarah's not even mentioned), but still this irresistably charming vingette of a Christmas plagued with dissapointments satisfies the loyal viewer who dreamt of what occured after the series' end. I'm glad I own it to be able to revisit my fictional friends, and I think it's worth it to every fan who feels as I do.

ROAD TO AVONLEA THE 5 SEASON.......2007-05-15

I AM SO HAPPY THAT I HAD THE OPORTUNITY TO SEE ALL OF IT, EXCELLENT I LOVED AS MY FAMILY DO..

Charming........2007-04-06

Charming children and adults get into fun predicaments.

If you liked "Anne of Green Gables" or "Little House on the Prairie"; then you should like this. Seasons 1-6 are excellent.

The realistic, likeable, characters are people that I would like to know. Avonlea is a place, I would like to visit. I like the beautiful, country-side, the farms, the horses, and the period style of dress, with the women in their pretty dresses, the period sets and homes, the humor, the warmth, the inviting activities, and the lively pace. Avonlea carries you to a nicer place.

Disney spared no expense to create fun and interesting escapades.

I especially liked the episode where Aunt Hetty, Jasper, and Aunt Olivia purchase the Lobster Canning Factory; because Jasper and Olivia are such charming characters in figuring out how to improve the factory.

This series has been my best money value; dividing the 13-episodes by the cost: $51÷13 episodes = $3.92 per 46-minute episode. Sells new in Canada for $80.

Product Description

Ever since the iconic Zippo lighter was introduced back in 1933, its users have applied cool routines to open and close it. From GI's killing time during WWII to Hollywood actors adding some flavor to their characters, Zippo lighter tricks have always been a sure way to boost your personality by adding some class and style. However, it wasn't until 1996 that the art of performing these tricks started to evolve beyond the basic moves previously seen. With the launch of Lightertricks.com (previously known as zippotricks.com), an avalanche of new techniques and tricks were invented as the tricks concept grew into global movement. This DVD presents a selection of 50 popular tricks including everything from one hand wonders and spins, to aerials and duo tricks (performed by two tricksters). TRICKS: Alex Aarvik (Norway) teaches you 50 selected tricks including the legendary Goofy Style series. Each trick is filmed from 2 different angles plus a walkthrough and slomo. BASIC TECHNIQUES: In addition to the tricks, we have also included 24 basic movements and techniques that will serve as a good entry point for the rookies. MAINTENANCE: Learn basic maintenance that will keep your lighter in tip top tricking condition. AVAILABLE LANGUAGES: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese and Japanese. AVAILABLE TRICKS: Spinning Wheel * The Gun * Twilight Zone * Inside Out * Fire Spin Advanced * Back And Forth Advanced * Backdraft 2 * Bond Style * Ice Cool * Confluent Bondsmen * Double Smack * English Rose * Wet Panties * Press It! * Flip It! * Goofy Style 1-8 * Hit & Run * Hit & Run Advanced * Hit n' Spin * Legally Blind * Merry-go-round * New Balance * One Move Almost * Open Always * Oppressor Pig * Over-The-Hill * Sticky Fingers * Goofy's Back * Power Squeeze * Push It! * Resurrection * Ring Ignitor * Slam * Boomerang * Slugger * Twisted Spin * Snap * Goofy & Pain * Tilter * Transport * UFO * Universal Spin * Wet Pastries * Zippo Tango

This is the best educational DVD I have ever purchased. Everything is great quality and the way the tricks are filmed makes it easy to learn. Thanks to this DVD I'm now a Zen master of Zippo Tricks!

A True Chick Magnet.......2005-03-31

I know this sounds kinda lame, but after I got this DVD and learnt some of those fantastic tricks featured, I have gotten more attention from girls during the past week than previous years combined :-) I have discovered that knowing these tricks is the perfect ice-breaker.
The DVD itself is high quality all the way featuring an avalanche of insane lighter tricks. Thanks to the multiple angles + walkthrough and slomo, learning the tricks is pretty easy. I would recommend this title to anyone!
