Due South

[i1976]

Anyone knows this show? I love it.

Constable Benton Fraser of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police begins his new assignment at the Canadian Consulate in Chicago, Illinois, with Diefenbaker, a deaf, lip-reading ( :lol: ) wolf. Fraser is not exactly accustomed to city life, contrary to detective Ray Vecchio (for first two series, then Stan Kowalski).

Fraser is very quiet, polite, a gentleman. Ray, on the other hand, is extremely outspoken and sarcastic. Together, however, the two solve several crimes.

The pair Fraser-Vecchio remind me the pair Enos-Turk in the series "Enos".

I like this show 'cause is very funny.

Some quotes:

Ray: "Fraser, what are you doing?"

Fraser: "Well, I... I thought I'd let him shoot me Ray. All Mr. Calling has to do is shoot me, then he can shoot him."

Ray: "Ah, as long as you have a plan."

Ray: "We're lost"

Fraser: "No, we're not. We just don't know where we are"--

Ray: [Fraser and Ray are trapped in a bank vault] "Check for ventilation".

Fraser: "Got it".

Ray: "A vent?"

Fraser: "Yes, and we are in luck, Ray; it is completely sealed off".

Ray: "What?"

Fraser: "Air tight, obviously for security. Rest easy, Ray, the money is perfectly safe"

Ray: "Oh, that's a relief because for a moment there I was concerned all these little Thomas Jeffersons were going to run out of oxygen!

Fraser: Ray, there is no need for either sarcasm or panic. We are in an eight by ten room with a ten foot ceiling. That gives us roughly eight hundred cubic feet of air. It is now 3:15 and the time lock is not due to open until 8 a.m. so there is no danger of us suffocating for at least... You know Ray, in situations like these, the Inuit..."

Ray: "Ohhhh, we're gonna die"

Ray: "Maybe he wanted to kill us too"

Fraser: "Well ,what possible motive could he have for that?"

Ray: "You know, sometimes you are the most annoying man that I know. There's plenty of times I've wanted to kill ya and I'm your best friend"

Stan: "D'you find me attractive?

Benton: In what sense?

Stan: "In the sense of... you know, being a woman"

Benton: "Do I think you're an attractive woman?"

Robert Fraser's ghost (Benton's father): "We have to find somewhere to live"

Benton Fraser: "What do you mean, "we"?"

Robert Fraser's ghost: "That's a cruel joke, son. I've been thinking about an office. I think I need an office".

Benton Fraser: "What the hell would you do with an office?"

Robert Fraser's ghost: "Office work, memoirs, catch up on my taxes. . . "

Benton Fraser: "You've been dead for two years"

Robert Fraser's ghost: "Oh, they find you, son. They find you".

Finally, I love Due South's soundtrack; I've known Sarah McLachlan's music thanks this show.

yes I seen that before on tv series long ago and I have book guide.. about series with actors casts.. I love this show as well.. too.. my favorite too..

[Divia]

I love this series, until they ditched the real ray and got someone else to play him. Also I think the whole relationship with Frannie and Benton should have been explored a little. I thought it was lame he fell for his boss. I totally lost interest after that.

I love this show too. I used to watch it when it was still running on television before it got cancelled. Now I own the first two seasons on dvd. My favorite characters are Ben Fraser and Diefenbaker the wolf of course as well as Ray. I even have a dog named Diefenbaker.
