Seeing Things

I have always loved this show! I have been identified as Minnesota's own Louis Ciccone! Why isn't this very good CBC show on DVD? I have been waiting for this and Remember WENN to appear for us on DVD. At least someone had the sense to put Nero Wolfe on DVD! Please Canada give us a chance to purchase a DVD copy that can play again in the United States. Do you remember the episode where Marge Ciccone's favorite singer is murdered right before her eyes? And Louis solves his murder? Well guess what, I had a similar experience! I was able to prevent the murder of Country singer Tanya Tucker! There are three shows I would love to see on DVD and ironically none of them are on DVD. Ellery Queen with the late Jim Hutton and the late David Wayne. Remember WENN and Seeing Things. I was recently mentioned in Vancouver, BC for helping to solve the murders caused by Robert William "Willie" Pickton. Does anyone know if Stevie Cameron has finished her book yet? Is Seeing Things still being shown on the Mystery Channel?

I used to watch this show sporadically in the early 80's on the CBC. Now it is currently run on digital channels Mystery and Deja View here in Canada. I gotta say I love the show. Seeing Things is an interesting snapshot of Canada in the early 80's.

All in all most of the eps seem well written and acted, although not nearly as slick as current programs on network TV...but that could be the charm of this show.

Del Grande was pretty funny in this show. Just a normal guy type character.

I have to nominate the theme song for Seeing Things as the most bizarre and odd theme song for any television show.

Thanks to Mystery and Deja View for running this classic.

It was funny, mysterious and had great T.O. In jokes. It provided some story lines which challenged the status quo.

The main characters were not the "pretty people", they were the talented and flawed people.

It was refreshing, and a topic of conversation at dinner tables which bridged the rigid space between young values and old values.

When will it be available on DVD?

But also when will "Seeing Things 2000+" make it's way onto the world stage, or at least the CBC?

We're waiting;-)

For those of you looking to rewatch this series - it's on YouTube right now.

I went looking for where to watch it after watching "Scanners", and recognizing Loius Del Grande (before his head exploded) from this series.

It's cool watching it now, getting a snapshot of Toronto in the 1980s.

Very dated, though - some sexism and racism. I enjoy the humour, spooky visions, and occasional visual reference to the CBC.

I just learned that the leads Louie and Marge are married in real life. I feel like Louis is essentially being himself, and much of his character is based on his actual traits.... minus the ESP of course.

This series ran for about six years. Excellent off-beat humor, with witty commentary on Canada, the U.S., family relations, media industries (film, TV, newspapers, music, etc) and life and society in general. The unlikely hero is Louis (as in Looie), who starts having visions after separating from his wife. When he touches a corpse or an item that was on the corpse or was used in the murder, that triggers an increasingly explicit series of visions. Of course, getting the crown attorney to believe him is the first major hurdle. If you like Due South, you will like this one. In fact, Louis did a guest spot on Due South. Perhaps Turner will pick this one up as well. I sure would enjoy Seeing Things again.
