Now this was a brilliant show. Great characters, story, humour and action. Someone must remember this.

If you haven't heard of it it's about a Canadian Mountie, Benton Fraser, who becomes a policeman in Chicago. He brings his huskie Diefenbaker too (or half-wolf/half-dog, either way 'he's not a dog'). There's a great chemistry between Fraser and his partner, Ray, it's gripping.

I really wish they would make a region 2 DVD or for some channel to re-run it some time, ever.

I heard of the show, but never watched it.

Whoa, I've never seen this thread, and now I'm looking for the "favourite crime show"-thread and find a thread about one of my favourite series on TV... well it was on TV anyways.

I loved the show, and the last season (the one with "the other Ray") had some great soundtrack. The episodes with the ghost ship, the Robert McKenzie, has some of the greatest songs I've ever heard in a series.

I also love the humour of this show, Benton and his amazing knowledge about stuff nobody really cares about, Ray as the die hard-cop who gets confused after everything Benton says. And of course Dief, who's deaf but knows how to read lips.

Fact: it's an awesome show.
