Christy (1994)


Drama TV series starring Kellie Martin
-Year: 1994-1995
-Year in film: 1912
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys ~10-17, men
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium ?
-Rating:  7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: Several boys and teen boys / young men in blue jeans bibs (4 boys alone in pic 1) in different episodes. Also brown bibs. Also note the different hats.

I was searching again for pics of the teen girl in the 1998 Hallmark movie "The Sweetest Gift" (rating 6) and instead I found this interesting looking CBS series (set in a 1912 poor Tennessee community) where one episode (s2e1) has the same title (pic 1). Pic 2 showing s2e3 at school. The boy with the light blue straps, if I remember it correctling,  wears brown pants and the thick straps are just suspenders (maybe recycled from bibs), so no bibs. But an older boy behind him wears blue jeans bibs. Also a young man or older teen boy in s2e4 (maybe the 19yo main character).

Unfortunately I didn't had the time to check more episodes (21 in total, 50 minutes each) but probably more episodes showing bibs.

Bestselling novel by Catherine Marshall (maybe also worth checking). Series was nominated for a Golden Globe and won an Emmy. I never heard of it.

I have to check more from this, like if raw demim bibs, riding scenes, good sitting scenes or anything else to give a higher rating. Looks like LHOTP and I like these early and rural settings. There is also a related 1994 movie (with the same title) and some sequels (that are co-produced by Hallmark). I haven't checked the movies yet.

Rating 6-7 for now.

I now also have entries of the other movies. Linked in the pilot entry (rating 4 and 5)
