Thanks for the memories!

Great Film overall

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I wish I had kept track of all the flat tires in this series. Seven in ten of the episodes seem to have a flat tire and most of the remaining have an overheating engine. Just how non-creative, predictable and boring can you get! And, just how common do you find young widowers in your life? I have certainly heard of a couple but after living 70 years on this earth I have never met a widower under about 50 years of age and yet in this program we meet 3 quite young ones. Coats and light clothing are seen outdoors in the same scene, long shadows are seen at mid-day and short shadows are seen early or late. Folks seem to have the time and energy to often drive many miles to the pub in mid-week - having lived on farms in the USA I am sure Aussie farmers scream with me in absolute disbelief when they see this. How many times do you hear 'I am sorry' and 'he/she was only trying to help'? I admit I got kind of hooked for a while early on but the repetitive and predictable scripts have turned the show into drivel. A shame really as the basic premise is wonderful.

As an avid viewer and borderline obsessed freak of Mcleods from the beginning I definitely love the show! At first my friend introduced me to the show and it became our favorite show, she has every episode taped and believe me she protects them with her life, but in the last few seasons the show has become less about the Drover's Girls running a cattle station than a few love triangles/ pentagons. Although i still love McLeod's they (Writters) have gone off the track a little. After the deaths of some characters, and the everlasting on/off relationships between too many characters we were becoming less and less happy with where the show was headed. But in recent episodes the writers have given back the familiar themes with a bit of excitement. I think that we are finally seeing the original Mcleods in its glory, and I'm liking what i see.

"McLeod's Daughters" just keeps getting better and better. The plot intensifies and the characters are developed more. As the audience you are able to feel a connection with these women who work hard. This show is unlike many others, it is set in the Australian outback and follows the lives of Aussie women who live and work on a farm (Drover's Run) who do the work themselves. "Mcleod's Daughter's" also shows the lives of the farmers which surround Tess and Claire, Alex and Nik. One of the main qualities this show has is that is it unique. It is unlike many other shows which are based around criminal activities and the legal system e.g. CSI, NCIS, LAO. The actors are fantastic in their roles. Bridie Carter (Tess) and Lisa Chapel (Claire) excel in the role of their characters. This fabulous acting is supported by Aaron Jeffery (Alex), Myles Pollard (Nick)and Rachael Carpani (Jodi) This is a very compelling show which inspires everyone.

My wife and I got hooked on this series last summer (2005) while in Colorado. It is the type you can watch and enjoy without a lot of vulgarity and cursing. Although we have only watched the show for a year and I guess they have all been re-runs since we only saw the episode where Claire is killed last Saturday ( Mar 25 ). As both of us grew up in rural Texas the show sort of has a soft spot with us. I can imagine the difficulty of women running such a large operation as this without much support from the male population. We are just sorry that Claire had to be written out. She will be missed I am sure, not only by fans but by the show's cast as well. Keep up the good work and please let us know what network will show it after the WE stops. Wayne & Joann
