Product features:
- Ian McShane starred in wholesome, family fare before he became a weathered, expletive-drawling character on HBO's DEADWOOD. LOVEJOY is a case in point--this British TV show stars McShane as an antiques dealer who pursues a sideline career as an amateur detective. McShane's character (named Lovejoy) spends most of the show trading in antiques, looking for women to seduce, and cracking crime
Movie Reviews of Lovejoy - The Complete Season 2
Movie Review: Lovejoy continues - or in the US Begins
Summary: 5 Stars
For American audiences, this is the first season of Lovejoy. This show premiered on A&E in 1991 with The Black Virgin of Vladmir. This was probably done as a tie in to Dallas. In 1988, Ian McShane joined the cast of Dallas as movie producer Don Lockwood to become Sue Ellen's love interest. The end of the season, both characters left the show to be together in London. Two years later Linda Gray returned the favor by doing a guest on his television series Lovejoy.
The following are the episodes on this set:
Just Deserts - Lovejoy has returned from doing time after being set up. Now he has returned home to find out who really did it.
The Italian Venus - Jane asks for Lovejoy's help to get the inheritance a friend of her's is due from his brother. Lovejoy does this with a fake statue.
Bin Diving - (That means looking in trash bins for salvagable items.) Once again Lady Jane gets Lovejoy in trouble. After Jane has Lovejoy value the goods of an elderly widow, the antiques are stolen and of course, Lovejoy is the police's prime suspect.
Montezuma's Revenge - When Lovejoy is asked to sell a pre-Columbian solid gold, two murders occur. It's upto Lovejoy to solve the mystery.
Who Dares, Sings - Lovejoy and Lady Jane are hired to decorate pub but Lovejoy finds out you can't even trust the police.
One Born Every Minute - Lovejoy is hired to find a local lothario, who paints pictures of homes and uses this to seduce the lady of the house. But once again, everything is not what it seems.
National Wealth - Lovejoy is hired by a former film star, who Tinker has a crush on, to arrange an auction. But her house is robbed, just like a number of other country homes. It's Lovejoy to the rescue.
Sugar and Spice - This time it's Lovejoy's daughter who gets him in trouble. We get to meet his ex-wife, too.
Raise the Hispanic - Lovejoy is hired to furnish a house as a wedding present from the bride's father. But nothing is that easy for Lovejoy, when he finds the groom in a suit of amour - well the dead groom.
Lily's Pearls - Lord Felsham has a new partner but as usual, nothing is as it seems. Lord Felsham's partner has secrets including his wife Lily's pearls.
The Black Virgin of Vladmir - (the best episode) - American widow Cassandra Lynch is swindled by Harry Catapodis and Lovejoy decides not only to get even but teach Harry a lesson, in one of the series most complicated and funny cons.
Ian McShane is great as the rougish Lovejoy and Phyllis Logan is the perfect unattainable love interest. Add to this Chris Jury and Duddley Sutton as the perfect accomplices and you have a great cast.
This series is a cultural icon in Britan. The name Lovejoy is synanamous with the antiques trade. If you watch any of the BBC antiques show (Cash in the Attic or Bargin Hunt), you will hear people referred to Lovejoys.
If you enjoy witty well written shows with a cast that is obviously a great time, this is your show.
