When I always watch Due South and it ends it releases so many memories of me being a kid. I also remeber the first episode I ever watched I think in 1996 or 1997. I also have a feeling of depression that now that the production is over and that these are all reruns.
B-movies fear me, I am Canadian

Yeah CBS didn't like due south so thats why they cancelled it, you can buy the DVD.
B-movies fear me, I am Canadian
me too..whats even weirder it that im in australia lol. yes they had 'due south' here as well! :)
shareHMV are charging 150 bucks for the dvdset. I know this show was good but not enough to merit that pricetag.
Kelso:Ted, have you noticed how happy all the minions are lately?
Ted: I wish I was dead.
The International version is expensive, and people say the discs get scratched easily.
The version I have is from the States for about $20 a season. No joke - and it's perfect quality. You can get it from Wal-Mart, Chapters, Amazon, etc.
DS reminds me of how much of a Canada obsession I had (and still have). I first saw DS the year leading up to me going to Canada for my first time.
It introduced me to loads of great Canadian artists, that I still listen to today. I was staying in Toronto..the city where DS was filmed, and hoped beyond hope that Paul Gross would be my Aunt's next door neighbour, ha ha!!.
Who... are you?
A friend.
the region 2 DVDs are expensive, but they - particularly S3 - come with great extras that that region 1 releases unfortunately lack.
hey, it might go on sale.

"The morphine is making me philosophical"
when i was 14 i had a massive crush on fraser, i meed massive crush. and i was only 14 years old, notw at 27 watching this show again i can still see the appeal, and it's like regressing to one of the bast parts of my teenage years
Thunderbirds Aren't Slow
I used to watch the show at a time when I was at my happiest, in my teens without a care in the world. Its because of this that the show has such an influence and fondness, and mostly because of it that it introduced me to the wonderful country called Canada.
shareHaha yup, always reminds me of summer holidays and Saturday evenings. Love watching eps for the memories.
Bauer vs. Bourne, that is the question.
Due South's being shown again on BBC2 in England at the moment, and the minute I heard the theme tune, I felt that regression back to being 15 years old. It's magical, and I'm delighted and surprised to see so many other people feeling the same!
A limit? To good etiquette? I think not, Ray.
I watched Due South when I was a kid, at least 12 years ago. The detail that stuck in my mind was, believe it or not, Diefenbaker.
Seeing that beautiful white dog on the show was the highlight of my week back then (I was too young to notice that Paul Gross looks incredibly cute in red serge^^. ). So, up to now, I always remembered DS as "that show with the beautiful dog and some red guy". I've always been fond of wolves and Dief was the next best thing, so he stuck.
Of course I grabbed the opportunity when I saw a full dvd set in store a few months ago. I immediately watched all 4 season twice in a row. It was awesome. Seeing the whole thing in English was a special treat, since Fraser's German syncronised voice really sucked, in retrospect.
DS has not seen a rerun on German or Austrian TV in more than 10 years, so I am surprised that it was aired in my country, Austria, at all. Many great shows never make it to Austrian TV, so I guess I was extremely lucky :-)
Of course, now the show is much more than "that show with the dog". It opened my eyes to lots of great Canadian artists and movies. My next trip is definitely going to be to Canada!
Same here. I loved watching Due South when it was being shown on BBC 2 in the late nineties [seasons 1 & 2 re-runs and first run of Seasons 3 and 4].It was on on Tuesday evenings, I would timer-record it on VHS/VCR when I was at private maths tuition and watch it later that evening whilst having my dinner. The earlier episodes in fact, I watched in my last year of primary school.
It's on again now on "Alibi" and watching it brings up some teen years nostalgia for sure.
