...Rome with Love (CBS) is the same sort of savorless trifle, with John Forsythe back to the laugh-packed responsibilities of bachelor fatherhood. In this, his third series, he plays a widowed history professor from Iowa who relocates with his three daughters in sunny, funny Italy.

Running a barbershop in a moldering district of London, they are each other's consolation prize. No hint of lust knits them together, only...
