Signed, Sealed, Delivered

One of touching series. in simple way. stories, a nice team, adventures, few not credible details but so charming for the old flavor , for performances, for few drops of didacticism and, sure, for the sort of rehabilitation of mail in the era of technology. I admitt - the tears of emotion are frequent at each episode. because this is the basic virtue of the serie - to remind small, essential feelings , defining ourselves. and the touch of classic series from "70 - "80 decades. and that represents a real good point. for a different serie about letters and not ordinary form of magic and, in a delicate manner, about solidarity between people, empaty and... essence of Christmas spirit.

I have been watching this show and I must say, it is very good. In the beginning, it was confusing and kind of slow. Now the Signed, Sealed, Delivered has found its stride. Eric Mabius is reserved and dry; however, he is coming to life more and more. Every show is different and a real adventure. When it seems like there is no way to find out where a letter, package, etc. goes, the team gathers intel and makes the delivery happen. It does not stop there, the workers at the U.S.P.S. Dead Letter office goes further than just making the delivery, they help people find closure. Too bad my local post office does not function properly; I ordered some postage stamps through the mail and the post office lost the stamp order. Oliver (Eric Mabius)is the leader and restraint of the Dead Letter Office. Shane (Kristin Booth) is the heart and life of the show. Rita (Crystal Lowe) is a real babe, that is a living knowledge machine / computer. Norman (Geoff Gustafson) has his eyes on Rita; he is starting to fade away. This show is great and I will continue to watch it.

I love this program! Finally something that doesn't have the "F" word in it and actually speaks about God. It is a lesson in dedication, trust, honesty, faith, and good morals. Those who don't like the program probably do not recognize those values when they see them. The are too into themselves and their electronic gizmo's. I am glad to see that sending a handwritten letter or card is valued. If you have ever received one you know how great it can be to get mail and be cheered that someone actually took the time out of their busy life to send you a personal note and message. It is not cheesy; it is a matter of respect. Respect that comes from the heart and is spread to other people. We have too many let's race shows, talent shows and way too many cop shows that show the seedy side of life. Give me the time when kids were a little sheltered and loved instead of picking up tips from TV on how to shoot out their school, or work place. Give me a time when employees were valued not just seen as commodity to shareholders of large corporations. This show is about honor in doing your best in helping others and changing lives. High five's to the writer, the cast and all involved in this terrific program. Best wishes for a long run!

The stories told in this series are heart-warming. I realize that isn't edgy enough or dangerous enough for some people, but when you get tired of watching bloodshed and meaningless violence, you will appreciate this show. The stories are well-written, and generally well-paced. They take you all over, in the sense that they solve mysteries and reunite people and discover secrets and do not follow a "murder of the week" sort of formula.

The main themes of the episodes are love, friendship, respect. One reviewer referred to this show as "housewifey", which is insanely patronizing, but what he probably meant is that it doesn't have any bimbos jiggling their naked boobs for the camera and isn't bloodthirsty enough for his "masculine" taste. And it's not, so if you must exist on a strict diet of sex and violence, skip this show.

The main characters are more nerdy than they are glamorous, but since when is the entire world made up of models? They rely on their brains, decency, teamwork, and perseverance to get the job done. We haven't seen characters like Rita and Norman in any show that I know of (Rita has her Sheldon Cooper moments but she is a much nicer person). I find the inevitable falling in love of Oliver and Shane to be predictable, but that's OK too; watching their story unfold is very enjoyable.

The acting is good. I enjoy the work of actors who can get across an emotion or idea with only a facial expression.

There isn't much laugh-out-loud comedy on the show. It is certainly charming and will make you smile rather than laugh. Occasionally I have small criticisms of how specific matters are done in the show. For example, I thought that when Oliver and Shane were locked in the bank vault with the young banker, it was a bit of a cop-out to have the young man take a nap to make room for the private letter-reading between Oliver and Shane. However, these things are probably just growing pains, and no doubt if given the chance, this show will mature.

In these days with so much of our viewing taken up with every manifestation of bad taste, lewdness and horrid evils, I prefer anything based on decency. I prefer Walt Disney movies to most of what is broadcast today. When I am not watching a Hallmark broadcast, I am watching reruns of old sitcoms.

I can usually trust anything I see on Hallmark - though I always check content first. I like the twist of humor, and the element of hope in this series. I like the characters. The decency factor comes before "expertise" for me, so, yes, I am enjoying this series about lost letter detectives. If it were too realistic it would probably fall outside my sensitivities and I would not watch it. From a technical aspect, the music doesn't drown out the dialogue as it does in so many Hallmark movies. To everyone involved, thanks for decent entertainment.
