Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Truth Be Told

I have seen all of the SSD episodes many times and I really look forward to more being done, but as precise as Oliver is, I am surprised that he identified the dog Liberty as a German Shepherd when she looked more like a Belgian Malinois. She is not listed in the credits, so am I right? I would love to know what the dog's real name is and who her owner/trainer is. Belgian Malinois are such wonderful dogs and sometimes have a bad reputation for being only good for military and protection dogs. It was good to see a Mal being a family pet and obviously well behaved as well as loved by her.people.

This episode showed a lot of humanity and warmth. The patriotism was so evident in the storyline. I would love to know who the woman who sang the song for her talent. She was awesome. She definitely did one of the best renditions I have ever heard. Does anyone know her name?

This movie flows like a sitcom where they are just trying to fill the allotted time with text. It was very hard to engage in the story because it was written in a very choppy and confusing style.

Rating a Signed Sealed Delivered this low is quite unusual for me. The reason-- this episode of the franchise is not a complete story, unless you consider only the personal lives of the Postables.

The "lost" letter gets the short end of the deal in this episode and it isn't adequately resolved. I wonder if perhaps the show runners intended this to be effectively a two parter, or did they realize after fan response that they needed to finish the story more satisfactorily.

Almost every episode of SSD brings tears to my eyes and this one had the potential for that. But not a one unless it was tears of disappointment or those based on knowledge of the sequel which I happen to have seen first.

The combined stories are slightly long for one two hour movie, but it doesn't seem to me that it needs two. Either way, this episode leaves me greatly disappointed.

PS after instalment The Vows We have Made: I updated my rating because this installment is a perfect set-up, perhaps even a necessary one, for The Vows We Have Made.

I wept like a baby during this emotional entry in The Signed, Sealed and Delivered (Postables) series. It's Shane's birthday and she meets Oliver's father Joe O'Toole...then finds out that Oliver is estranged from him.

Meanwhile the Postables latest case is a letter from a soldier to another soldier's daughter. Norman's expertise of being fatherless and in the foster system came in to play in this entry as he comforts and empathizes with a young girl who is being bullied by her classmates.

There are some beautiful quotes and the concept of what it is to be a parent is a big theme in this entry. I have really grown to love this series based on the dead letter department at the post office that is filled with a tight knit group of unusual characters who use their skills to deliver letter to their rightful owners.

My favorite scene is when Oliver tells Miss McInerny "when have you ever done what I have said" and she just envelopes him in a massive hug. It was a beautiful and touching scene.
