The early episodes are my favorite. I love the location shots - Sam Evans walking the streets of Newport... Miss Vicky on Cliff Walk, Matthew Morgan trimming the hedges...
It doesn't get any better than that.
It seems such a shame that when Quentin came along in the storyline, they didn't do any location shooting. I imagine that Quentin got around quite a bit in Collinsport. Not Tarrytown, even though he was on the east coast, by the way. Hmph!
