Did any of you watch this series on PBS recently? I did. I found it both charming and annoying all at once.

I totally enjoyed it. What did you find annoying, Steph?

Loved:
The so-called 'biddies'. I thought they were delightful.
The cap-obsession.
The lace and the cat. ::TEE HEE::
The Lady and her tragic, uncaring son.
Annoyed by:
There were far too many tragic deaths.
The fact that poor miss Mattie just never got a break.
Too few happy endings.
The way it felt very "blended" and diluted at times--trying too hard to blend too many books together at once.
At least Jessie and the Doc got their loves in the end.

I enjoyed it but was embarressed by some of the old biddies thinking the doctor was serious about them.
And it frustrated the heck out of me when the doctor wouldn't defend himself immediately and explain why he let his receptionist use the desk. But I guess that would have shortened the story.
The costumes didn't excite me too much. The red one was the nicest one, I think.
