Both my husband and I have loved the series from the begining.We always enjoyed the well written and acted stories.They were current and believable.The last two series we feel the actors and writters were simply going through the motions.The stories felt very contrived and almost laughable.Sometimes we need to bow out before we are embarresed.I will always keep the first eight volumes but 9 & 10 will be filed in the waste.Mary D,
