Wish they produced more shows like this. A feel good show full of hope and human spirit, how refreshing to see that great television shows like Signed Sealed and Delivered are still possible.The casting is excellent the message is spot on. It is reminiscent of shows like Andy Griffith. It is wonderful to have as show I can watch with my kids and my parents at the same time.The content is clean and fun and the story writing sucks you in to where you can not wait to watch the next episode.Thank you Hallmark for this winner. Love how a greeting card company can come up with a show about the post office, love it.

Why is this program listed as a "Drama" ? It could be listed as a "Comedy", but it's not funny, it's cute, but it is not funny. Do you have a "Corny" category ? I watch it, mainly because it has some kind of entertainment value, and that it isn't Horrible. Another question, sorry, but why does it take four people to delivery one piece of mail or one item from a "poorly wrapped" package ? Perhaps the writer, The show can't have more than one writer, can it ? Anyway he could speed things up a little. Perhaps the characters could work on more than one item in each episode. I wish that I absolutely hated or loved this show, than I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem writing ten lines.

I've watched every episode up to today (s01e03) and even made it through the pilot movie. With nearly every scene it got more cheesy and stereotypically, and already served almost every typical us-American cliché.Well, let's see who have we got here: First, the very formal, mysterious male lead, chief of the office, always wears a suit, recites Shakespeare whenever he can, and a kind of religious/spiritually and conservative guy. Next, we have the blond, spontaneous, wanna-be modern and somewhat rebellious female lead who likes to step over the rules - but not TOO spontaneous and rebellious of course! Oh yes, and of course they both begin to fall for each other. Then we also have two quirky outsiders, one with a photographic memory who seems to write "fantasy novels" (i.e. soft-porn erotic novels) and the other who has what seems some autistic attributes. They all form the DLO - Dead Letter Office - which tries to deliver lost letters, mostly by opening them and reconstruct who wrote it, to whom it was written and why, and solve some cases along this reconstruction and re-delivery.But not enough, these cases are what makes the show so overly cheesy and "housewifey". Two of the three episodes examined a afghan girl who was heroically saved by a soldier and were gloriously reunited with him at her graduation speech in an American university, and secondly a cowboy who fell in love with a seasonal visitor of his ranch who married another man, but - of course - also found a happy ending because the boy waited 20 years for his eternal love whom he built a hut on the mountain, just as he promised when they were children. All of that with a very homogeneous, biased, and conservative storyline and characters (4/4 relationships or love interests were between a woman and a man, all of the main cast and all except two of the supporting cast are/were white).All in all, probably exactly that kind of a show which you would expect from the Hallwark Channel... but you might ask yourself now: Why would he give this show 7 stars with all this?Well... mostly because sometimes you just need this kind of a soft, cute show without any friction or a bad arch-enemy. Sometimes you just need this kind of romantic, cheesy happy endings where the good guys (not that there are any real bad guys) get the girl. And sometimes you just need a heartwarming and tears provoking stories in a softened, orange light ;-) Also, the acting is quite well of all of the main cast, the characters are interesting enough to question yourself what will happen to them (even though it might seem quite predictable) and the overall concept of the show seems very promising as there are virtually endless opportunities to resolve the plot into interesting stories.Concluding: In comparison to other shows with a similar main target audience, this one seems to be one of the best up to today.

I just finished watching the second episode and came here to read more about this wonderful and heart warming show. I was disheartened by the former reviewer's take on it and felt I needed to create an account to say I couldn't disagree more with his summary.First, and foremost, thank you Hallmark Channel for your creation of one of the best new shows in a very long time. In the sea of shows depicting violence, inciting paranoia and fear, and highlighting the disconnect of our humanity, this show stands FAR above them all.The empathy and compassion, which is so well portrayed by the writers and cast, has been sadly lacking for too long. Yes, it may likely bring tears but, it will also leave you with hope that these qualities still exist.If your looking for edge, mass murders, end of the world drama and destruction, or a glaring representation of a lack of value and morals, this show probably isn't for you. However, if you want a story which you can sit and watch with your family I couldn't recommend this show more highly.Thank you again Hallmark Channel.
