Shane (Kristen Booth) is getting her dream job, she thinks. This young lady has been sent to revamp the Postal System's dead letter office in a Western town. But, when she arrives, she learns that it is NOT the job she was promised. Andrea (Daphne Zuniga) the overbearing boss tells S too bad, a transfer takes six weeks. Yet, once Shane actually meets the crew that deals with misplaced letters, Oliver (Eric Mabius) and his two assistants, she learns these folks may have something going in their old-fashioned ways. Most importantly, the group stumbles on a love letter that should have been delivered a year ago. What's more, the woman who wrote it may have a fatal illness and not be able to meet the gentleman she wrote to, making plans for An Affair to Remember type re-union. As Shane and Oliver start to track this woman, they uncover more and more secrets. Since when is the DLO a detective agency? Since always! This darling film was offered from Hallmark and made into a series. Who else in the world is making such great romantic comedies? NO ONE! As the two principals, Mabius and Booth are just terrific but so are the entire rest of the cast. Likewise, the costumes, script, settings, and direction are blue ribbon winners. So, you feel abandoned by Hollywood, right romcom fans? This viewer does which is why she says HOORAY FOR HALLMARK. May this company NEVER disappear from the earth, not with terrific films like this coming time and again.

I'm a big fan of Signed, Sealed, Delivered. I stumbled upon the series mid-way through a few years ago, and then started watching the movies. Anyway, it's only today that I finally (yes finally!) watched the pilot for the first time! Definitely worth the wait for sure, as Martha Williamson lays the foundations of the Postables and the relationships amongst them. We also get Christian themes, with references to God and redemption, a thread that flows through the series and movies.

Daphne Zuniga guest stars as a postal boss who seems to have it in for Oliver (Daphne was 50 at the time believe it or not).

Oliver's officious personality comes through, along with his reference to his wife who fled to France (she turns up in the second SSD movie). Shane shows her tender side, and the seeds are laid for the growing relationship between Norman and Rita. We also learn of Shane's appetite for Yoo-hoo.

Kristin Booth plays Shane, and sometimes I get her mixed up with Kristen Bell because of their names, perkiness and resemblance.

Olivia Cheng plays the Newsperson, Michael P. Northey plays public defender Jerry Polevich.

Laci J Mailey plays Kelly and Benjamin Hollingsworth plays Charlie.

This Hallmark film stated that the show will form the basis of a regular television series. What a gem of a plot they've concocted.

A woman accidentally in placed in the wrong division of the Postal Authority and immediately applies for a transfer to rectify the situation. While she waiting for the transfer to come through, she meets up with 3 quirky people working in the division she has been assigned to- The Dead Letter File.

They fall upon a letter which leads to heartache, sadness, and great detective work. They can even stumble on evidence that can exonerate someone of murder.

It's wonderful how relations are informed and personal stories revolve about these characters.
