Although I'd love to se this show back on the air I doubt that it will ever happen. The normal rule of thumb is that a show needs to have filmed at least 100 orginal episodes before it can be sold into syndication. As The Torkelsons only had a brief original run there are far less than the required number of episodes in existence. If you really want to see these episodes again I would suggest starting a petition to get whoever owns the rights to this show to release it on VHS or DVD.:(

Disney owns the rights to it, so good luck...

Aaahhh ... the Torkelsons; the last thread of hope for the Disney Channel before they totally abandoned the Disney principles and turned into a crappy version of Nickelodeon

Disney still has the rights? After they have all that Lizzie crap and all those crappy new shows??

Does anyone elses remember Disney in the good old days (circa 1994) when they actually aired good shows, like Avonlea, The Torkelsons, Ocean Girl, etc. I hate Disney now.

I hope it comes back onto the air. It was one of my favorite shows to watch!

Yes, Disney still owns the rights. They haven't sold them just yet.

hi i am french and "the torkelsons " used to be diffused with an other title "la famille torkelson" .I watched it only one time cos the series stopped to be diffused immediately after the first episode that i watched.I liked the part of ruth ann so i regret that the series is not diffused in france.If it s diffused on disney channel will it be only in english?
