Like the flower in "The Italian Rapscallion" episode, a good, nonviolent, lovely, mystery series blooms once after 25 years and then dies.
I feel that "Rosemary and Thyme" is such a rare gift to television, a morass of cheap "reality" shows that dispense with the nuisance of paying those pesky writers, and insult Americans' intelligence.
Speaking as an American, I only watch British television, and Love the old sitcoms. These productions are smooth, clever, and not blood spattered. They actually have (wait for it...PLOTS), and excellent writing as well as characters who are surgically unenhanced and, believe it or not, older than 30!
"Rosemary and Thyme" isn't perfect; but it sure beats whatever is in second place!
score 10/10
