I loved every minute of it. All the actors came to life for me, I felt I knew each one of them individually. I recommend this to everyone, it's not just a chick flick.

I love this series. My wife and I have watched it all the way through a few times over the last couple of years. The storyline is great, the character development is superb, acting is absolutely first rate (you will fall in love with every character) and the animation is fantastic. I think my biggest compliment goes to the writers of this series for never losing track of the story, never forgetting who the characters are, and for ending spectacularly. Watch this series, you'll love it.

I have watched and rewatched episodes of "Rumpole" -- loving them more and more as I watched.  I even visited the Old Bailey when we went to England just to feel closer to Rumpole (along with having a glass of Rumpole's favorite wine at a pub).  As you are introduced and get to know the Rumpole "family," each of the individuals become richer and add to the flavor of the shows.  Each episode involves a legal story but also a tale about members of Rumpole's "family," involving "she who must be obeyed," his fellow lawyers, or his favorite criminals.  I highly recommend this as a wonderful experience.  Learn a lot about England's justice system, the legal system, and have a great time doing it.

I have enjoyed this series so much. I cannot believe it was taken off the air! It has to be one of the most entertaining shows I have seen.
THere is a delightful combination of humor, sleuthing, and of course a bit of seductive vampiric fun, all stirred together. A recipe for success.
The characters are simply magic together.  The female lead is no simpering damsel, either. The shows are just pure enjoyment to watch.
It would be great if it was brought back.

Wonderful illustrations and good, wholesome fun -- can't get better than that, especially when so much humor these days is cynical, negative and snarky. Great entertainment.

Great Music, Absolutely wonderful character acting, superb costumes, and a FUNNY story-line make this a must see.  The actors that played all the President's men have really captured the essence of their characters (Henry  K. singing "Hello Dolly" and commenting on being the only member  of the administration who ever takes responsibility! ).  Even though I  hate teen-movies, this one had me laughing from the very start until the  end of the superb extra features (on the DVD).  I must admit that some of  it was funny because I am very familar with the real events and characters  but even those who are not were laughing throughout the movie. A keeper -  buy it - I rented it and am buying it now.

This is a great source of entertainment. I  thoroughly enjoyed the entire DVD.  Merry Christmas,  Father Christmas, Big Day at Dream Acres and Crums, were my favorite episodes.  I  enjoyed Big Day at Dream Acres more than any other episodes. The entire DVD is fantastic.

This family and their supporting staff are a mixture of very different classes of people, who are surprisingly very much the same in many respects. The wonderful old home place is magnificent. There's never a dull moment in any of the stories. We definitely recommend this series as good quality entertainment.

I've just finished watching Crusoe again. A few years back I watched the series on TV and I loved it so much I just had to get a copy of it. What a wonderful series. For lovers of adventure this is first class entertainment.
Of course it's not the book and it's not meant to be. Nowhere in the credits it says "based on the novel by Daniel Defoe" as it usually does with films or series based on novels so the writers took the liberty to write a more adventurous tale. And to me they did it spot on.
It's got drama, adventure, romance, betrayal, pirates, mutineers, cannibals, Carib Indians and a wonderful scenery filmed both in England and South Africa.
It's outstanding entertainment for the whole family. The first time I watched it with my then six and four year old kids and they loved it. There might be a bit of violence but nothing like films nowadays and no foul language.
All in all, don't listen to bad reviews. If you like adventure as they used to do it, do yourself a favor and get a copy of Crusoe. You won't regret it.

We watched this on an online streaming site and lamented the lack of anything even nearly as good on American broadcast TV.

Whether or not you've ever been part of a theatre company (we have) - this funny, charming, thoughtful "dramedy" is one of the most entertaining series in years. And what's really fun is that the excellent cast excels not only in their roles, but also in their Shakespearean roles, glimpses of which are integrated into the story line.

Superb stuff.

I just loved this Series. This season like the ones that follow are beautifully crafted, wonderfully deep relationships, entirely credible and played out with taste and skill. I can not say enough good things about the story , the acting, the relationships nor the delightful complexity and seductive intrigue of this wonderful Television experience. More please.
