a charming romance for the first season and a half . the writing be superb and likeable actor make this a pleasant series to watch . mary page keller in particular be magnificent to help make up for a wooden matthew laurance a the other lead . the support cast of chris lemmon and alison laplaca be even well actor than the lead and jody thelen and eileen sorkin be effectively cartoonish contributor . the series take a romantic stroll from ben ( laurance ) and laura ( keller ) first meet through the ups and down of courtship . and this be a very delightful courtship indeed . unfortunately near the end of the second season and the series veer completely away from the last sense of reality . great story and good laugh . i wish i could get this series on video . when will nick or tvland start air this wonderful program . ( please . ) .
