info-12388 I don't know which diety to thank, but all three seasons are now out on DVD, and I have been binge watching them and reliving my own early days as a Canadian at the same time. I loved this show. The production values were top notch, the scripts well written, the interplay between the three leads tense without being over-bearing. Dramatic when it needed to be and wildly funny when it didn't. Historically accurate in even the smallest of details, just all around stunningly executed to the point of perfection. And now I have all three seasons in full and can go back to Bordertown anytime I want, which will be pretty gosh darn often. Yay!!!
mcampbell54 I too loved watching the Bordertown series. I recently purchased the DVD for a good price. It may currently be available for purchase at several locations - Amazon.com, Tractor Supply, Walmart. The main characters will stay with me for a long time - and the story line is unique - with the Canadian Mounty and U.S. Marshall working together and fighting with each other and then both in love with the same woman. What an unusual western (49th parallel) and such a good love story! It does have quite a bit of cowboy shooting in it, but the series story-line overrides this part. I think the best way to tell if a story is good - is if you feel as if the characters are part of your life - or possibly that you are a part of their story. This may one of the reasons why this series was so good. I am writing this review to let everyone know that this series is available for purchase. Possibly one of the networks will pick it up and show it as re-runs to everyone.
smarks59 Trapped in my in-laws house with no cable, I am forced to watch what ever CDs they have. They have season 3 of Bordertown. I would assume any TV series that reaches season 3 would have had a chance to teach basic acting skills to the cast. That is not the case with this stinker. First episode on the disk "Sweet Revenge" was so bad I couldn't endure the entire episode. Be smart. Don't buy this show. We must not encourage this sort of behavior. Its bad! These so called actors should have their SAG cards pulled and they should go back to hotel housekeeping. I know I'm not supposed to include spiteful remarks, but if I hadn't found this so bad I wouldn't have even bothered reviewing it.
bkoganbing This Canadian produced western series had an interesting concept and I only wish someone had thought of it back in the day when I was a kid and westerns were what ruled television. Bordertown was a place that straddled the 49th parallel which is Canadian-American border as fixed by the treaty that gave the USA Oregon territory way back in 1846. A little cross border cooperation in regard to law enforcement was a practical solution to a lot of problems.Weekly, Marshal Jack Craddock (Richard Comar), and RCMP Corporal Clive Bennet (John Brennan), cooperated far more than the governments of the United States and Canada were wont to do back in the day. Until the 20th century the USA had this peculiar notion that the Canadians were just waiting to be annexed by us and would welcome liberation from the British Empire/Commonwealth. That in fact the nation was founded by folks of British descent who were fleeing Tories from the American Revolution and French folks who wanted their own autonomy in any event didn't faze a lot of American policymakers.But in Bordertown bad guys were bad guys no matter what side of the 49th parallel they hung their hats. So these two cooperated out of necessity.I'm pleasantly surprised to see just how many fans this show had. I so wish it had a longer run.
