I watched this as a television series on A&E, remembered it as good, and just purchased the dvds. Well, it is so much better and truly timeless--I've watched it with friends who never saw it on television and they are all instant fans. Lovejoy and his antiques are as refreshing delightful today as they were in the 1990s. His friends are just as lovable (maybe more so!) and wacky as ever. Set in England, the cars and clothes are not out of place or out of style. The stories--every one of them--gives pleasure, not a poorly written line in any, and many many laughs. Perfect multi-generation viewing, nothing is "R" rated! And you just might learn a little history along the way!! Seeing Ian McShane as Lovejoy lets you appreciate his acting talents in Deadwood! If A&E wants a hit series, just put this show on to compete with some of the awful stuff on the networks now.
score 10/10
