I have been re-watching my DVD's of this series, and I continue to be amazed at their universal high quality and how well everything adheres to the Rex Stout books. Nearly all the characters (and stories) are very close to what Stout created (even Wolfe and Archie!), and the sets and dialog are absolutely brilliant!
Purley Stebbins and Fritz Brenner (and the latter's relationship with Wolfe) are very slightly different in the series than in the books, but the modifications definitely work. The Wolfe-Brenner relationship in the series is fantastic, even if it is more regularly confrontational than in the books!
Anyone else notice differences in the televised vs. the written series?
