Ok does anyone remember Due South? That was such a funny show that paired a Chicago police officer and Mountie. I have all 4 seasons on DVD! They don't make shows like that anymore!

I might have the shows recorded on VHS somewhere, but I don't have a VCR anymore.
I remember it being a really funny show.

I love it when I see a Cylon on TV and they're doing something shady like you'd expect from a dirty no good toaster.

It's a good show. I have them on DVD but the picture quality is so bad they might as well be on VHS.
Best TV show of the nineties. Yeah, I got them on DVD. They were shot on film y'know. No visual effects shots, all in camera. Someone should look for the original negatives for the episodes, re-edit them the way they did TNG, and release them on Blu-ray.
First season is utterly glorious, from the hysterically funny right up to the heart-wrenchingly dramatic. Brilliant stuff.
Season 2 takes a slight dip at the beginning and then a much bigger dip towards the end, but it still has this piece of utter genius (skip to 1:40):
Season 3 and 4 I couldn't get on with. Not that we lost Ray and gained "Ray" but rather the dramatic tone was almost completely jettisoned for rather juvenile humour, which was sad to see.
What's really interesting is, for all his flaws as a writer these days, the creator of the show (who left after S1 as showrunner) was Paul Haggis, of Crash infamy. Victoria's Secret still remains one of the 90's best pieces of TV thanks to that writing, shored up by great music, and the rather brilliant Paul Gross.
I adore that first season so much that it easily rests in my top 10 seasons of any TV of all time.

Heck yes! I loved that show

Yep, loved the show. Definite classic. I kind of wish they would have made a movie years later. I'm actually surprised Paul Gross isn't a more bankable actor.
Good show. Began on CBS and then went to first-run syndication.

Ironically, it really isn't the complete series since Season 4 was never included. It has to be bought separately.
It does have all the episodes because the third season was 13 episodes and fourth season was 13 episodes so they accidentally state it as a third season of 26 total episodes. I checked at Amazon and it does have all 67 total episodes:

I loved this show growing up. But, yeah, haven't seen it in years. I agree the first season was amazing--Haggis really earned his wings there. The rest of it wasn't so great, but still a fun guilty pleasure.
That soundtrack tho...
I spent much of my junior high years trying to perfect that acoustic riff.

Great show. The 90's had tons of great shows. Funny back in the 90's people would say they didn't make shows like they used to. Now many of us are looking fondly back on the 90's.....here's the theme..great song.....makes me a bit sad..
....how I miss my 20's....

Hmmm, guess it's a quirk of marketing and packaging combined with how they managed to syndicate it. Maybe was a last minute thing.
