Again, this is mostly faithful, although Sullivan adds in Marilla disapproving of the possibility of romance between Anne and Gilbert (at a time when Anne has barely started speaking to Gilbert), and Diana having a crush on Gilbert.  There seems to be both more humor and more drama in this part, the latter especially with Matthew's death.  This part ends, as does the book, with Gilbert trading teaching jobs so Anne can stay at Green Gables, although there is more physical contact (like an arm around the waist) than in the book (where there is none).

I've put a question mark after the date because for some reason I can't find out on the Internet when Part 2 actually aired.  (However, given how uncrowded my TV collection is for the mid-'80s, it's not a huge concern in terms of chronology.)  Sullivan and Follows and some of the rest would reunite for 1987's Anne of Avonlea and 2000's Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story, neither of which I've seen.
