In honour of its 25th anniversary, the Gemini Awards is conducting an upcoming poll to see what Canadian fans select as their favourite homegrown show from a list of 25 shows from the past 25 years.  And not surprisingly, Anne of Green Gables is on the list.

Starting September 15, fans can go to www.favetvshow.ca and make their selection from a list that was put together by a group of experienced television critics.  The selections cover all major genres, from quirky comedies to dramas to reality series.  And the winning program will be revealed after special guests count down the shows throughout the gala broadcast of the ceremony on November 13.

 

But, in the meantime, Toronto Life Magazine created its own list of “The 10 best Canadian TV shows of the past 25 years”.  And Road to Avonlea is on it.

Here are the magazine’s selections, which are listed in no particular order:

Degrassi Jr. High
Today’s Special
Road to Avonlea
Ready or Not
Street Legal
Beachcombers
Kids in the Hall
Due South
Slings and Arrows
Being Erica

They also listed 25 “Runners-up”, which includes some of the most classic children’s programming and serious dramas.  They are: Mr. Dressup, The Tudors, Edison Twins, Trailer Park Boys, North of 60, Da Vinci’s Inquest, The Newsroom, Fraggle Rock, Dear Aunt Agnes, The Littlest Hobo, Polka Dot Door, The Green Forrest, Passe Partout, Hammy the Hamster, You Can’t Do That on Television, Danger Bay, Traders, ENG, Wok With Yan!, Babar, Just Like Mom, Flashpoint, Friendly Giant, My Secret Identity, Catwalk

What do you think of their top ten list?
