I completely forgot about Bizarre, but remember watching that as a family when I was a little. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!—Lisa
Eighties Canadian kids shows! Wow, what a blast from the past. That’s when our son aged 6 to 10 was growing up and I was the stay-at-home “daddy-mom” and I had to watch most of those shows with him. Today’s Special was a fave, Frightenstein was VERY weird, Mr. Dressup … I really miss those days and shows and years spent with my son watching them.—Homemovies
Murdoch Mysteries history lesson
If they start Season 9 in 1903, I hope they tie in some of the constables who may have volunteered for temporary military service in the Boer War from 1899-1902 and return after military discharge back to the constabulary as war veterans. The battle hardened constables will make for more interesting members of the station house, but one of them will suffer from PSTD and flashbacks (episode will show flashback scenes from the war). Dedicating half of an episode storyline to this prominent Canadian event would be good. Also, there would be a spike in the number of military personnel in the Toronto Militia Units post-war wind down.—Shawn
