Due South
This is my ode to one of my favourite shows. If you don't know what Due South is, well, shame on you. Its about a mountie, Benton Fraser who comes to Chicago on the trail of his father's killer. He is partnered up with a street wise cop, Ray Vecchio. Together this odd couple fights thiefs, murderers, terrorists, and hormone driven females. Fraser also has this cute boss named Insp. Meg Thatcher. UPDATE Ray has now gone undercover and another guy is in his place going by the same name and, yes, driving the same car.
Due South is neither a drama or a comedy or a cop show. Its a style all its own. Its now on TNT at 4:00 Eastern Standard time on week days.
Hey Duesies on AOL. Tired of no having no one to talk about the show with. Here's the place for you. Duesie Chat Just pop on by about 8 or 9 Eastern Time. If you have any problems or are thouroughly confused just hollar for Anne. She's almost always in, wonderfully helpful, and amazingly sane considering what time it is in Britain. If this link isen't working then go to Find a Chat, then go to Enter Private Chat, type in Due South and Voila....you're in.
