    I am Minnesota's Louis Ciccone!

    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?

    My favorite Canadian TV show of all time

    This show is fantastic. It has just the right combination of funny and spooky. The characters are great, the mysteries are really interesting, and it has this great 80's Toronto setting.

    Louis is a great character, sort of like a Canadian reporter version of George from Seinfeld. And I love the vision sequences, with the zoom in on his eyes and the crazy music.

    Some people say that the latter seasons weren't as good, but I wouldn't agree with that. Sure the show did get a bit crazy a times, but it still worked.

    Everything about this show is good. I'd really have to say it's my favorite Canadian TV show of all time.

    Someone should really broadcast this show again.

    Yes, please.

    Dear Canada, please do something productive and get Seeing Things out for the world to enjoy.

    I remember being a young lad just south of the border (Candain border) and enjoying this show as a ripping young red-blooded American lad. I think if Canada doesn't come through on this for me, I will stop leaving cookies on St. Blogasoat Eve for all the French-Canadian mimes so they won't stay "stuck in the box."

    Beyond that, well, I feel strongly that Canada, a once well-meaning nation, has lost touch with the ticklebone. Why, I remember those cold winter nights in Minnesota thinking that Toronto was an enclave of ethnic diversity -- even back in the early 80s.

    Canada - please obey.

    Was my favorite TV show at one point

    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.

    I have been vindicated!

    For years I've been asking people if they remember a show called "seeing things" where a guy would solve crimes using his psychic visions, and everytime he had a vision there would be this crazy music. Everyone said I was crazy. HA! I'm not. Thank you IMDB.

    • Crazy credits
      When this series was rerun on the Canadian cable network Showcase in the mid-1990s, the network chose to precede each episode with a disclaimer advising viewers that the series - produced only a few years earlier - "does not necessarily depict" the way relationships between men and women were treated in the 1990s. This politically correct disclaimer was roundly criticized by viewers and the media, and was eventually dropped by the network.
