I was so impressed with this series, it is funny, interesting, and rather contemporary despite the fact the story takes place in 1959+. The characters are engaging and the stories are wonderful without being mush. The wardrobe for Catherine Zeta-Jones is fashionable today! The dad reminds me of Bilbo Baggins, getting himself in all sorts of scraps, and is just as adorable. The great revelation for me was Catherine Zeta-Jones! She contributes wonderfully to the series. What a marvellous actress she is. She carries the role of beautiful elder daughter with equal charm, sharp business savvy and a touch of glamour too- not easy to pull off. And she succeeds! I will go back and view all her movies. Love her. She is terribly underrated (only 1 Oscar?). Her beauty and talent can be likened to a British Claudia Cardinale.
