Just don’t expect 21st century picture and sound clarity. The original 33 “Morse” episodes were based on novels and short stories by Colin Dexter, the award-winning writer and crossword champion, and can still be found on various PBS channels and other media outlets. “Inspector Morse” first aired on Masterpiece Mystery in 1988 and ended with the death of the Morse character in 2001. Inspector Morse, the reclusive, erudite loner was amusingly counterbalanced by family-man Lewis whose working-class, northern English background was diametrically opposite to Morse’s solitary intellectual life. The very final three-episode season of “Inspector Lewis,” premiering Sunday, Augon PBS’ Masterpiece Mystery, is a sad hail and farewell to the appealing characters and ingenious plot puzzles that began with Oxfordshire’s Detective Chief Inspector Endeavour Morse (John Thaw, 1942-2002) and his then Sergeant Robbie Lewis (Kevin Whately).
