I loved this show. I was so thrilled when I started reading other people's comments. I saw that someone said that it is being shown on The History Channel. I'll have to check the schedule. This is definitely a show that should be on the Hallmark Channel or some cable channel. I was hoping that it would be out on DVD, but I haven't seen it anywhere. I always thought what an ingenious idea for a show. The interplay between the Mountie and the Marshall was great. Their love for the Dr. Marie Dumont was so sweet. And I really liked that they had a "lady doctor". I also loved the rousing Sibelius theme song. I actually would plan my Saturdays around this show-that's how much I loved it. If anyone that would be involved in releasing this on DVD is reading this-please release it on DVD.
There's not much I can add to all the great comments here. Bordertown and The Campbells are two of my favorite television memories from the 80's, and I enjoyed them a lot more than half the stuff that's on today. It's impossible to find information on either show on the net, and I'm so glad I stumbled onto this site. Keep your fingers crossed, everyone, and maybe we'll be watching the marshal and the mountie on DVD someday soon.
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.
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.

I watched this show religiously when it was originally aired. A couple of years ago it was on in syndication. I want to say it was the Hallmark channel that aired it but I can't be sure..might have been CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Co...I live in Washington state and we have the CBC on our cable channel here, so get to see a lot of the great Canadian show, like Bordertown and North of 60, which was a wonderful show as well. Fortunately, I taped the show when it was on and am able to watch it whenever I want. I would absolutely purchase it if it ever came out on DVD. I still have my autographed photo of John Brennan on my wall!
