Bordertown

Take into consideration the era in which this series was filmed (almost two decades after the 'demise' of the western). It was a solid series, good characters, nice plots. The scripts were the like of Gunsmoke and Bonanza with bits of The Virginian, Laramie and Cimmaron Strip. No sex, nudity and very little vulgarity -- family friendly entertainment. I have managed to put together 4-5 tapes full of these episodes.

I was just a little girl when this show was in its prime, but I remember it so clearly! We still have an old, fuzzy tape from when it was shown on "the Family Channel" in the US. That was prime time quality entertainment. My parents would watch it with me and my brother, and they didn't have to worry about language, violence, or sex. The characters were lovable (my brother and I were Marie and Bennet one Halloween). They were full of integrity and you could be assured that in every episode, justice would prevail! The idea of a bordertown was interesting, too. I enjoyed as a little girl gazing at Bennet-- what a cutie! Of course I always wanted to be Marie, the beautiful French Canadian doctor! My Dad loved Crattick and did a mean impression of him! So nostalgic! And the music...ah, the music! It was so good, and I wish I could get a hold of it somewhere! Someone needs to find these old reruns and restore them, and sell them. What a gem! I miss it!

I greatly enjoyed this series, and miss it very much. I, too, would love to purchase the series on VHS or DVD. I would also write letters to the owners of the series to encourage them to market the series on DVD. It might develop a good following among people looking for wholesome adventure without the cheap sex and special effects which dominate network TV today.

My name is Wyatt Orr. I played Bruno Danzinger on this series for 2 years. It is nice to hear such great comments! It was a fun show to work on and certainly one of the best times of my life. Looking forward to future comments.........Wyatt.

Richard Comar, Sophie Barjac, and John H. Brennan have all three gained significant places in my memory of THE absolute best western series

ever to grace the television screen. Too bad no network has scheduled the show for syndicated re-runs. It would definitely be a moneymaker. Bordertown not only had beautiful Canadian scenery, but intelligent content as well. It was warm, humorous, and habit-forming. I rarely missed a show and even wrote and submitted screenplay for an episode. Unfortunately, by the time my manuscript reached Stuart Gillard, the

series had already been cancelled. What a shame. Gunsmoke had the

distinction of being the longest-running series in television history. Bordertown deserves at least as much. It was clean, moral, and

uplifting. Movers and shakers probably will never see this review, but at least I've had my say.
