Excellent Show - Definitely Worth Watching!!

[sdw61 · 8/10 · 22 June 2014]

After watching the new Hallmark series, "When Calls the Heart", I wondered if "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" would be able to fulfill the same level of entertainment. I can truly say that this show DOES fulfill the same entertainment level! My family and I truly look forward to watching this series each week. Once again, we are thrilled with the family series Hallmark has come out with recently.

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" has a wonderful cast of actors/actresses who are ALL very talented and it is very noticeable as you watch each week. Together, they form a unique and quirky cast, each with their own standout personalities in the show. The show also offers equally entertaining and very recognizable special guest stars each week that really add a lot to the shows, such as Carole Burnett, Valerie Harper, Della Reese, etc. - all great stars from the past.

The story lines basically follow a mystery each week that is solved by the end of each show. Romance is also blossoming in the office which adds more intrigue to the show each week. Also, the thoughtful story lines never fail to give a good lesson each week about what is REALLY important in life!

THANK YOU, HALLMARK for providing another decent family series to the 21t century and giving people what they have been missing! This show is another winner in my opinion!

Different from anything else out there

[estatelawcanada · 9/10 · 4 July 2014]

The stories told in this series are heart-warming. I realize that isn't edgy enough or dangerous enough for some people, but when you get tired of watching bloodshed and meaningless violence, you will appreciate this show. The stories are well-written, and generally well-paced. They take you all over, in the sense that they solve mysteries and reunite people and discover secrets and do not follow a "murder of the week" sort of formula.

The main themes of the episodes are love, friendship, respect. One reviewer referred to this show as "housewifey", which is insanely patronizing, but what he probably meant is that it doesn't have any bimbos jiggling their naked boobs for the camera and isn't bloodthirsty enough for his "masculine" taste. And it's not, so if you must exist on a strict diet of sex and violence, skip this show.

The main characters are more nerdy than they are glamorous, but since when is the entire world made up of models? They rely on their brains, decency, teamwork, and perseverance to get the job done. We haven't seen characters like Rita and Norman in any show that I know of (Rita has her Sheldon Cooper moments but she is a much nicer person). I find the inevitable falling in love of Oliver and Shane to be predictable, but that's OK too; watching their story unfold is very enjoyable.

The acting is good. I enjoy the work of actors who can get across an emotion or idea with only a facial expression.

There isn't much laugh-out-loud comedy on the show. It is certainly charming and will make you smile rather than laugh. Occasionally I have small criticisms of how specific matters are done in the show. For example, I thought that when Oliver and Shane were locked in the bank vault with the young banker, it was a bit of a cop-out to have the young man take a nap to make room for the private letter-reading between Oliver and Shane. However, these things are probably just growing pains, and no doubt if given the chance, this show will mature.

In it's class

[MennoMan · 9/10 · 8 June 2014]

With so many No-Value lost in reality shows, Re-Make NCIS and ridiculous shows posing as family and filled with profanity and sexual innuendo.... this show stands out as pure family.

The fact is this is one of the best family oriented show for adults on TV. After reviewing the other show presented you are left with one choice.. This is ashamed since family value shows use to be the standard. The days of Hallmark style shows are not gone... Hey, how about bringing back a show like Bonanza? Believable old west characters facing challenges and adventure with a spark of romance.

Just me, but this is refreshing TV... FINALLY.

Best new show of the season!

[souljourney22 · 10/10 · 29 April 2014]

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.

Wonderful lessons to be learned

[kmsch71 · 10/10 · 8 June 2014]

I love this program! Finally something that doesn't have the "F" word in it and actually speaks about God. It is a lesson in dedication, trust, honesty, faith, and good morals. Those who don't like the program probably do not recognize those values when they see them. The are too into themselves and their electronic gizmo's. I am glad to see that sending a handwritten letter or card is valued. If you have ever received one you know how great it can be to get mail and be cheered that someone actually took the time out of their busy life to send you a personal note and message. It is not cheesy; it is a matter of respect. Respect that comes from the heart and is spread to other people. We have too many let's race shows, talent shows and way too many cop shows that show the seedy side of life. Give me the time when kids were a little sheltered and loved instead of picking up tips from TV on how to shoot out their school, or work place. Give me a time when employees were valued not just seen as commodity to shareholders of large corporations. This show is about honor in doing your best in helping others and changing lives. High five's to the writer, the cast and all involved in this terrific program. Best wishes for a long run!

Enjoyable Series!

[diana_fisher · 10/10 · 11 October 2014]

In these days with so much of our viewing taken up with every manifestation of bad taste, lewdness and horrid evils, I prefer anything based on decency. I prefer Walt Disney movies to most of what is broadcast today. When I am not watching a Hallmark broadcast, I am watching reruns of old sitcoms.

I can usually trust anything I see on Hallmark - though I always check content first. I like the twist of humor, and the element of hope in this series. I like the characters. The decency factor comes before "expertise" for me, so, yes, I am enjoying this series about lost letter detectives. If it were too realistic it would probably fall outside my sensitivities and I would not watch it. From a technical aspect, the music doesn't drown out the dialogue as it does in so many Hallmark movies. To everyone involved, thanks for decent entertainment.

I love it!

[tammysack · 8/10 · 5 May 2014]

I was scrolling down the TV schedule when this caught my why "What's this?" I said with curiosity in my mind. I clicked on the first episode and immediately knew that I would love this show!

The main thing that got me hooked was Eric Mabius (I have seen Ugly Betty a lot) I just saw him and exclaimed "THAT'S DANIEL!". Anyway, I really really enjoyed the first episode it was very heartwarming and made me feel really happy. I liked the hook at the beginning where the little boy was posting the letter then was like "My names not Owen." I like the relationship between the characters as-well and I like Shane and Olivers relationship. I loved the dance scene at the end.

The second episode had me in tears and I just love the lengths the Postal guys go at to finding these people for the senders it's all just very heartwarming and I really hope that anyone thinking about watching this show gives it a shot because it's really great!

I gave this show an 8 because it's funny, inspirational, heartwarming, filmed well and so much more! (I don't write reviews a lot so sorry if this is bad.)

touching

[Kirpianuscus · 13 March 2018]

One of touching series. in simple way. stories, a nice team, adventures, few not credible details but so charming for the old flavor , for performances, for few drops of didacticism and, sure, for the sort of rehabilitation of mail in the era of technology. I admitt - the tears of emotion are frequent at each episode. because this is the basic virtue of the serie - to remind small, essential feelings , defining ourselves. and the touch of classic series from "70 - "80 decades. and that represents a real good point. for a different serie about letters and not ordinary form of magic and, in a delicate manner, about solidarity between people, empaty and... essence of Christmas spirit.

Really enjoyed it.

[jewelch · 6/10 · 29 January 2021]

I absolutely love these characters. Members of the Dead Letter Department of the United States Postal Service based in Denver, their job is to deliver mail that has been lost or damaged so as to obscure the address. Inevitably, a heartwarming story emerges as the identities of the senders and intended recipients are revealed. Many times, there is a significant time lapse between the letter being mailed and its discovery among the dead letter files, creating a bigger mystery. Some people would think the characters are "over the top," but I prefer to think of them as endearingly eccentric. I betcha can't watch without smiling! Yes I recommend it.

This Is A Very Good Show

[Xyberion · 10/10 · 9 June 2014]

I have been watching this show and I must say, it is very good. In the beginning, it was confusing and kind of slow. Now the Signed, Sealed, Delivered has found its stride. Eric Mabius is reserved and dry; however, he is coming to life more and more. Every show is different and a real adventure. When it seems like there is no way to find out where a letter, package, etc. goes, the team gathers intel and makes the delivery happen. It does not stop there, the workers at the U.S.P.S. Dead Letter office goes further than just making the delivery, they help people find closure. Too bad my local post office does not function properly; I ordered some postage stamps through the mail and the post office lost the stamp order. Oliver (Eric Mabius)is the leader and restraint of the Dead Letter Office. Shane (Kristin Booth) is the heart and life of the show. Rita (Crystal Lowe) is a real babe, that is a living knowledge machine / computer. Norman (Geoff Gustafson) has his eyes on Rita; he is starting to fade away. This show is great and I will continue to watch it.

Love, Love, Love

[luv3n8 · 10/10 · 16 June 2014]

I absolutely love this show. I am a Hallmark lover, a romantic lover, a God lover, and this show is wonderful to me. I love that is moves methodically. I love Eric Mabius. I watched him in "Ugly Betty". I'm so glad to see him here. I think his acting is great. He has such a sweet and yet serious side which works so well with Kristin's Booth's character. Who doesn't love this type relationship? I am amazed at the transformation of Crystal Lowe. Look at her pictures, she is dominating this character. I love the character Norman. The actors that have visited are infectious. You never know. I love that it has taken wonderful actors and made them into the perfect actors for this show. Please, please, please renew! There are a million "dead" letters I am sure! Thanks Hallmark Channel for showing it!

The TV Equivalent of Porridge

[Phantom_Duck · 4/10 · 21 April 2014]

I gave this show a 4 instead of a 2 because it is sweet and means well. I tried to watch the entire first episode but it was so slow and cheesy I found my finger hammering away at the fast forward button.

There is certainly a market and demographic for programming like this. I enjoy more edgy programming,if you do too pass on this.

For those that wax reminiscent for The Donna Reed Show, Ozzie and Harriet or the "Folks From Mayberry," and find Matlock too racy and surmise Cabot Cove is a den of iniquity... You just may love it? It is for the Readers Digest demographic. Treacle for the mundane.

Not much more to say, but I have to fill the space.

Better than a reality show is a plus. At the very least the show is employing actors and crew instead of launching the brand of some misbegotten, self indulgent bastard attention seeking progeny.

That is a very good thing!

Heartwarming show

[SunshineStateGirl · 9/10 · 15 August 2014]

I really love this show; I will say if you're looking for a realistic portrayal of life in a post office - that's not the purpose of this show. What the post office does offer is a creative backdrop; the characters are slightly quirky - not quirky in a scary, or disrespectful way but quirky in that they seem almost from another time; a time when gentleness, decency and respect were commonplace - not quirky.

The episode involving the bank vault and the love letters was IMO a work of art. First it highlighted the lost art of letter writing; the words in this episode conveyed as much emotion as any canvas I've seen. And then there's the developing relationship between Oliver and Shane; it was amazing the feelings that are demonstrated by restraint.

And that is one reason I enjoy this show; it shows true and pure emotion. I hate to resort to describing a show by what it is not but where so many series rely on visual cues to stimulate us with lust, passion, and sex, Signed, Sealed, Delivered relies on words and acting to remind us of the human capacity for love, compassion and concern.

There are accents of humor, enough to enhance flavor; but the meat of the show is our characters' weekly foray into finding the right thing to do; relying an man's innate ability to know right, even when it isn't in the rules.

Why hasn't there been another series????

[dippynut · 10/10 · 21 January 2016]

I absolutely love this show and am very disappointed that Hallmark haven't made another series. It is nice to have a series that harks back to some of the more innocent values of shows such as Highway to Heaven and Little House on the Prairie.

The story lines are great and you really get to love the characters. All the actors are very good, whether they are regulars or guests. It was fun to see Valerie Harper in a couple of episodes as we used to love watching Rhoda.

Seriously, if you like good solid acting and feel good story lines this is the show for you.

Please, please Hallmark make another series!

Wife and Boys and I LOVE this show!

[mbdean-88790 · 10/10 · 7 February 2021]

My wife and I watched the first episode for a date night. Were immediately drawn into the unique premise and storyline - so much so we thought we should watch another one with our boys sometime. We did, and all 4 of us got hooked! There is mystery and suspense and originality and interesting characters - presented in a fun interesting and wholesome way - very unique! Well done SSD!

Heart felt

[Jackbv123 · 10/10 · 22 August 2020]

I saw all the 2 hour movie versions (except the pilot) of this franchise before any of the TV episodes, which actually predate the movies. Finally the Hallmark Channel broadcast the series and when I got to see it, why I love this show quickly shown through.

Yes it's cheesy. And It's quirky. These are my two favorite things in movies or TV. Episode after episode there is at least one heartwarming moment, often requiring a kleenex or two.

There is also a quiet hint of religious faith behind it. This is usually subtle, so for those who don't care for it might not even notice, but for some it will resonate.

series

[strawberry-15062 · 10/10 · 4 January 2016]

I find this show entertaining and inspiring. There has not been one episode or movie of this show that I have watched that did not bring tears to my eyes. I love Oliver O'Toole. His character speaks to my heart like no other. Eric Mabius is a tremendous actor. I truly find his portrayal of Oliver to be incredible. The rest of the cast is wonderful and I appreciate each and every story and how it impacts each member of the Postables. I enjoy seeing the growth and continuous development of these characters. The lessons learned and the connections they develop teach the rest of us along with them. Please, please keep this show going. It truly makes people feel good. Thank you!

Very uplifting and family friendly series!

[kotsilim-57194 · 10/10 · 17 February 2021]

Signed, Sealed, and Delivered is about a team of 4 people whose job it is to deliver mail from the dead letter office. Although completely fictional, it tells beautiful engaging stories about people and the lost letters & packages that change their lives. The series is free of profanity, immorality, and politics. The characters are lovable, the acting is excellent, and the storylines are creative. I love the interaction and bonding between the 4 main characters, who are more like a family, than they are mere co-workers.

i tried

[Gaslog · 27 October 2021]

I enjoy most mystery.detective series and started to watch this with an open mind. But by the fifth episode I found myself grinding my teeth at the boring stories and amateur acting of most of the cast. I love Valerie Harper, but her over acting and horrible singing was unbearable. I love Della Reese, but a woman in her 80s holding down a job at the Post Office....was there no one else available in Hollywood?? I hope the series improves but if they sustain the same level of writing and acting I may not last til the end.

Adults behaving like children

[davedrawsgood · 2/10 · 28 January 2022]

The people who work in the office all behave like they're in middle school. Simple minded. Not real characters. No suspense. Happy simple music. Ugh.

I don't need 150 characters to explain this but apparently I do.

What Television used to aspire to be

[bchansen-71060 · 10/10 · 6 June 2021]

I discovered this show a number of months ago. Safe to say it's not for everyone. But it has great characters,humor, and fun story lines. I've read a number of the most positive reviews and many others have described it better than I could.

Best thing I've seen on Hallmark. It touches on positive values, isn't preachy but doesn't deny or qualify faith. It's refreshingly honest and uplifting while dealing with everyday issues..

We are like secret agents or super heroes.

[cgvsluis · 8/10 · 23 May 2022]

This is a wonderful series that restores my faith in human kind. The premise is really unique with endless possibilities.

The series is based at the United States Postal Service, in the Denver Colorado dead letter office. This is a team of four...their leader is Oliver O'Toole, who is married but abandoned by his wife. Oliver is lost in the past, he wears three piece suits, has a penchant for Yoo-hoos and is a stickler for following the rules. Norman Dorman who was raised in the foster system, has a very eclectic set of skills and hobbies and an innumerable number of cousins who have connections and knowledge in a wide variety of professions. Rita who loves owls, has a photographic memory, and also has a penchant for dressing in vintage clothing. The final member of the team (and also the newest) is Shane McInerny. Shane is technologically savvy and feels like it is her job to drag Oliver into the 20th century.

Each of the team members brings a unique skill to their task of delivering these dead letters to their rightful owners. The team works together to unravel the mystery around each letter that makes it into their hands.

Letters to soldiers...letters from soulmates, letters from grandchildren to grandparents...each story is touching and intertwined with the idea that mailing a letter in and of itself is an act of faith. Faith that when you put a stamp on a letter, it will reach its recipient.

This series is so worth seeing. I highly recommend this to any one who has a heart.

A wonderful series

[safenoe · 10/10 · 16 December 2016]

I appreciate Signed, Sealed, Delivered isn't for everyone. If you're into watching a series about people fulfilling unbridled fantasies on country and western robots, a 70 year old guy who isn't sure about his AC/DC, or a Hannibal guy who dines on people, then Signed, Sealed, Delivered definitely isn't for you.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered is unashamedly heart-warming, and that's fine with me. Sure, the world is grim at times, but it's nice to have happy and warm moments from Signed, Sealed, Delivered to remind us of the positive intentions of the Postables.

Eric Mabius, Kristin Booth, Crystal Lowe and Geoff Gustafson are impressive in their roles, and their chemistry works so well. It's a shame Signed, Sealed, Delivered hasn't continued as a series, but at least it continues as movies. To date there have been seven movies, but maybe it can return as a regular series

Wonderful family friendly show

[drozment-293-651294 · 10/10 · 15 August 2016]

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.

Wonderful family show

[onbelayj1 · 10/10 · 7 April 2016]

I love watching all of these shows. So I am constantly looking to see when the next one will be on. I even watch the older ones when they are on. They give me such a happy feeling when I watch these movies. It is like a breath of fresh air never having to see murders, hear foul language, these movies always leave me thinking. Thank you for showing these kind of shows on Hallmark.I am always looking on Hallmark to find more wholesome shows. I really like the series films. Flower Shop mysteries, Bake shop, The Good Witch, and several other series I look on the guide to set my TV to watch.

Is there a special place on your site that lists all your series, dates, times, etc.

I am finding that you canceled the series "signed, Sealed Delivered series. I really love this show. The good message that it delivers. So please bring it back.
