Is Due South the greatest show in TV history?

[8den]

Agreed, but I still loved it, because I fancied Fraser

I think you'll find very few men that like it. It's a female thing

I'll hand my testicles back at the door shall I?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Like I said there are better, more realistic, smarter, funnier, shows, Due South is just charming, a lil smart, very funny, and sweet you can't help but love it.

theres very few shows that can have ghost dads, terrorists, and a dead wolf.

Fraser "Now if we move fast, push hard we can catch the pilot before nightfall, any questions?"

Ray "Yes how far do you think you'll get with that headwound?"

Fraser "Oh headwounds look worse than they are, now read my compass"

Ray "Why can't you"

Fraser "Because I'm blind Ray".

It's like Jeeves and Wooster meets Dempsey and Makepeace.

Call of the Wild

Well I don't want them, not after where they've been

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

There is a that fucking ace episode on the train with Leslie Nelson, and Thatcher, and the terrorists. Or the court case, where they communicate via semaphore.

"Red suits you".

Leslie Nielsen.

In Canada, I think there was general disinterest in yet another thing about a mountie.

To us, mounties are just 'the police'. Do you have any tv shows about happy-go-lucky London Bobbies? It's the same sort of thing.

No, and none of them have the same impeccable manners, nor do they lick shoes

 

[Flashman]

It was okay. Can't say I've been dying to se it repeated or anything mind.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the real life mounties are a tad different from the ones in the tv shows.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

they used computers to find sex

 

[pigtails]

No, but Northern Exposure is. I'd rate it as one of the funniest and quirkiest TV series ever made.

oh god I loved Northern Exposure!!

I'd like to see it again and see if it holds up.

 

[mauvais]

I love this thread.

As it happens we do.

He's called the Sweeney, and he's a sunny delightful chap. How could he not be with a name called "Sweeney."

You may well have just destroyed my hopes and dreams

Wrong.
I love "Due South". It's well written, and very dryly amusing. I love "Northern Exposure" for the same reasons (and Maggie).

Well that VP, is because you have good taste













You probably fancy Thatcher as well

Nah.

[DotCommunist]

Never been a big fan of 'quirky N'american stuff, like Fargo, NE etc. It feels to....mannered, contrived. Self-consciously indie.

 

[Corax]

Wut?

No. No it's certainly not.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Nah.

Francesca.

She's mad

 

[nightowl]

is due south the greatest show in tv history?

never thought i'd hear anyone ask that one

Fuck me you're absolutely fucking spot on, fucking right about that fucking one nightowl!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I bet he's the best looking Mountie in TV history though

oh, I don't like to think of him getting old

We had 'The Sweeney' available here, too.

We aren't talking about Fargo or the Cohen brothers. Northern Exposure is quirky in different ways.

Well, there's Nelson Eddy.

Personally, I'd nominate Karen from Corner Gas.

Then you'll know what a bright cheery bobby he was then.

I watched it about as often as I watched Due South.
