Mystery Woman - 2005-07 - 6/10

You win!! One month at a luxurious, if tiny, island paradise!
Although the isle is fully stocked, you pack viewing essentials.
Your prize collections of Thor, Aquaman, Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man.
One glance back and you see your date clutching shows of her own.
“What do you have?” you ask.
“I loves me some Hallmark Mysteries!”
(Comment: If the “love me some” phrase is uttered, you should dump them on the spot. It’ll never work out. This person is either stupid or shallow or pretentious or D, all of the above.)
By and large, Hallmark means a plucky crime solving heroine, and her useless male companion, nicknamed Nubbin.
If your date is carrying Mystery Woman, consider yourself unbelievably lucky.
In these mini-movies, Samantha owns a bookstore and seems too busy to date.
Her right hand man, Philby (Clarence Williams III) is an retired intelligence operative, who retains skills and contacts.
The mysteries are rather routine, but this early series is pleasing enough, is not cloying, and does not pander to pre-pubescent fantasies, as does most of the later Hallmark production line.
