"By the time of this series, my two favorite characters (Lady Felsham and Eric) had left the series. That reduce the entertainment level for me by at least 1/2."
Ahhh...Lovejoy!

"Got hooked on this series while stationed in England. Come Tuesday evening at 8PM, everything stopped to watch Lovejoy on BBC. Ian MacShane is brilliant as Lovejoy. He is cool, suave, debonair and just down right hunky. Lovejoy is a series that one can sit down and enjoy with the entire family. Was over the moon when amazon.com started offering the series. A bit pricey but well worth the money. Since Lovejoy, Ian has also cut quite a swath here in the U.S. with various and sundry series (such as Deadwood) as well as appearing in numerous movies. Too bad they cancelled his "Kings" before it even had a chance. Oh well, long live Lovejoy!"
Lovejoy, English comedy at its best.

"As Ian McShane himself states "Lovejoy is no angel, but he's on the side of the angels."
Lovejoy is an English antique dealer with the ability to "divine" real antiques from fakes.
Despite employing all his inate skills to win at the buying and selling game - he always comes out the loser. Lovejoy, is a loveable rogue of an antique dealer who accidentally finds himself solving the odd crime along the way. The Lovejoy series is perfect "feel good" entertainment. If you liked "Midsomer Murders", "Foyle's War" or "Pie in the Sky" you will definitely get a good chuckle from Lovejoy and along the way you will learn a heck of a lot about antiques."
