S17E3, The Ballad of Midsomer County: The beautiful folk ballad of Midsomer County juxtaposed with the mundane Wheels on the Bus for Betty symbolizes Midsomer so well, ha! And that's why we love it: its broad spectrum of emotional... atmosphere... like... eggs and eels, you might say. Now, lets see here, I'm sure there were a few murders in this episode, but, I was more interested in the lovely exteriors and interiors once again. And some more character development is had by our regular cast: John is bored of baby life, Charlie is just a bore, and the gals put up with it all--run the show basically, ha! John makes a big mistake, but hey, at least he tried. And Charlie is no wild one, but at least he can take care of a baby quite fetchingly! And what a beautiful baby is our Betty. Her smiles in the last bit truly knocked out any memory of misguided ramshackle murder from my head.
