Being a crime show, I would classify this show as being composed of 3 elements: action, comedy, and romance. Action: Well-written. Like many crime shows I've seen, I was blown away by the cases and their twists. There's still somewhat graphic violence though, so be warned. Comedy: When I watched this show, I laughed a lot. My sense of humor is different than many others, so just check it out for yourself; just saying I had enjoyed a lot of this. Romance: When I watched the show (I no longer do, this is why) I was primarily there for the romance. I can't believe it took me so long to realize this completely contradicted my beliefs. I won't go into detail, but there are a number of sexual references, not to mention unfaithfulness. My suggestion: Do NOT get into shipping w/ these 2. Not worth it. ___________________________________ Issues: DLSV D: Sexual innuendo L: "Damn" is a common word S: Some graphic scenes (Steele Sweet on You; Vintage Steele, ex) & sexual talk V: Of course there is. It's crime TV. Whether it's guns or fists, RS has the V definitely. ______________________________________ Conclusion: Though this show may be enjoyable for some levels and rated PG on some or even all TV stations, USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT. I wouldn't recommend letting kids watch this. I feel I wasted 4 good yrs of my life on this personally. ~Ex Steele Watcher
... View MoreI know this is not as fast pace, as what people are use to. It is just a cute series, that is just fun to watch, and it brings back a simpler style of life, and times. I love this series, and other like: Murder She Wrote, Matlock, Miss Marple, The Thin Man. These a quaint and clever shows without swear words and nudity. In this fast pace world we live in, it is nice to slow down and just enjoy an entertaining show once and awhile. It is murder mysteries, and Hollywood rolled into one show, plus a little romance to boot. I think anyone would enjoy this, except maybe the people that like slasher movies, or explosive shows, and that is OK, that is what makes the world go around. It is a nice twist to see a woman in charge behind the man. I am sure there was a lot of truth to that time period. So rent, buy and enjoy.

Beyond that, the dialog and banter was intelligent. Sometimes, you actually have to think about the reference and connect the dots to get to the laugh. Heaven forbid that should happen on TV today )which probably explains why I don't watch much original TV). I started watching the Season One DVDs and it was like meeting an old friend I hadn't seen for years. I've introduced my 18 year old son to "Remington Steele" and he finds them as entertaining as I do. New we have to wait until November for Season Two!
