Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Home Again

7.9 stars.

I really liked this episode as I've liked them all, even though it's just a hair less entertaining (a very thin hair). It's still a great movie, and it deserves accolades.

I'm not particularly sure what it is about this one that made it slightly less interesting than the rest, but realistically, it's probably nothing I can put a finger on. You can't make perfection every time, and yet this was as close to it as anything. So it simply wasn't the best of the series, and I'm sure it won't be the worst. And if it is the worst, well my oh my, that will be a tale that must be told. I still have several episodes to watch and they average about 8.1 stars or so. Let me paint a picture: rarely do I rate a film 8.0 or higher. I'd say maybe 5% of the time, or one out of twenty.

I didn't think it possible that any show could consistently marvel the audience as this. Not once have they produced a dud in the 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' franchise, NOT ONCE. That speaks volumes of the care put into this series. It's uncanny if you ask me. Not a single strikeout yet in the whole lot (so far up through 2017). Amazing.

Home again is another installment in the Signed, Sealed and Delivered Hallmark Postables series with it's beloved quirky characters that stop at nothing to deliver undeliverable mail. Oliver and Shane are officially dating, and Norman and Rita are engaged.

Junk is..."trash waiting to be made in to treasure"-Shane.

While decorating their new space they discover a bag of undelivered mail of an eighteen year missing postman which includes a vase sent by three small children from a down on its luck dairy farm...this becomes their next adventure. Meanwhile Norman gets to meet Rita's parents Bill (short for Bilbo) and Sunny for the first time. They have a rough first meeting.

Meanwhile there is a WWII missing art mystery from France along with an American family who could really use the money from said art.

Love, hope, family and friendship power the postables as usual. If you are a fan you will love this episode and enjoy meeting Rita's quirky family.

A heart warming story from the Postables. One of the best yet!

While I am always happy to see the Postables Dead Letter Office Crew of Colorado this installment just seemed to be lacking.

While yes it's great to see our respective couples blossoming - there was just something missing.

The crew has a new work space and stumbles upon a vase of possibly/probably exponential value! We are also introduced to Rita's parents who it looks like may be moving to Denver permanently. So maybe we'll see them more?!

The meat of the story is helping the family heal that thought they lost the vase and bringing them together once again. Will the sisters be reunited? Will they save the family farm? What will happen to the vase? All those answers and more in this offering. Here's hoping there are more stories to come from the DLO and they are better than this one.

I've quite enjoyed the stories presented so far and the good natured way in which they present them.

It's nice to have a tv series which doesn't rely on violence and body counts to fill the time, and they've come up with some great twists to keep us entertained.

Yes there's cheese and the romance department is 'ok' but the cheese does taste like cheese on occasion.

Last episodes secret squirrel carry on with Shane whipped away to do secret hacking work for the military completely overlooked the fact that Shan was doing "secret hacking work for the military". Like that was some sort of normal sacred behaviour for any country to be doing.

This episode had some royalty vase being returned to a 90 year old rich elite like it was some sort of happy ending. Got to make sure that unearned wealth stays with the elite, even if the wealth is needed elsewhere.

Luckily Oliver's unearned inheritance from his father who didn't care about him saves the day and a trite eco farm deal is made.

This is the least appealing episode they've made and one which seems out of step with the otherwise decent writing which side steps most divisive details.

Keep it light, keep it fun, and keep it funny.
