Just about every reviewer has expressed a desire to find the whole series...well I found it! It's on www.christianbook.com
It's a little more expesive than amazon, but it has every episode, plus a boxed set of every episode (it's $100).
Hopefully this is helpful!

I just recently purchased the three Christy movies that are available on Amazon.com and loved them. I have never seen them but I am a big Tyne Daly fan. I loved these movies. It wasn't just Tyne Daly but Kelly Martin really blew me away. I watched one movie when it first came in and had to watch the other two right away. I love the whole story line and the warmth that goes with it. The scenery is amazing and I believe what gives this series just a warm and relaxing feeling. It does give you a sense of giving and wanting to do more. These is definetly teaching in these videos. If anyone knows where you can find all the movies I would love to know. I highly recommend these movies for family and for yourself.

This series is wonderful. I fell in love with every single character. I was so disappointed that the show was not continued, that i found the book by Catherine Marshall (check out all her books on amazon). The series stays true to the book, plus the book is filled with many more stories. I recomend getting this video, i wish i had them all!

Christy is one of my favorite tv series of all time. It is second only to Life Goes On. Kellie Martin shines as always. This particular episode is especially touching to me because it centers around my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. In "The Sweetest Gift" Christy and the people of Cutter Gap rise above their trying circumstances and learn to give thanks for the blessings they do have, the most important one being each other. Christy's father becomes terribly ill, but due to her faith and determination, he gets well. This series is definitely geared more to the female crowd, but I think boys under 12 would enjoy it too. If you haven't read the book Christy by Catherine Marshall, please do. It will definitely add to the enjoyment of the film. All of Mrs. Marshall's books are good. I cannot believe this show didn't last longer on tv. Hollywood must have thought it was too wholesome.

I was very grateful to be able to replace this VHS since I had bought the entire Christy set from Time Life years ago. VHS's wearout after a time. Glad you had this VHS! Barb

I hope to collect each video in the series. Christy's compassionate and passionate attempts to educate children and families of Cutter's Gap, Appalachia, North Carolina is inspiring, uplifting and entirely entertaining. Performances by Tyne Daly, Kellie Martin and Christy's cast touch and tickle one's deepest senses. The series is far beyond the usual forgetable fare found on television. Christy should be a welcome addition to any home video library. I only hope that one day, someone will produce a DVD set of the series.

I own the whole collection - 19 episodes in all - my only regret is that this series wasn't continued. It's the kind of story that warms your heart & makes you want to be a better person - everyone should watch it - young or old. You will laugh & cry... and never forget it.

I have 1-11 of the Christy videos..#1-3 in spanish...I love them and would like to know how many are in spanish and how many videos are there total? Does christy marry? who? #11 did not show who she decided to marry. I would LOVE to know! Thanks!
