60 of 292 · most liked firstbest we've got right now is Murdoch Mysteries, a detective show set in late 1800's Toronto, where the lead characters regularly invent modern technology by accident. Detective Murdoch created the Roomba. Tatiana Maslany's brother plays a gay jewish cop. It's incredible.

neutral · AI labelView post →There’s actually an episode of Murdoch Mysteries (a Canadian show) that displays this dynamic happening in 1910s Toronto better than literally any American show I can think of and that says A LOT.
neutral · AI labelView post →Peter Keleghan Among his most famous roles were as Alan Roy on Made in Canada, Jim Walcott on The Newsroom, Terrence Myers on Murdoch Mysteries and Ranger Gord on The Red Green Show. He also appeared Lloyd Braun on Seinfeld. He won five Geminis and a Canadian Screen Award.

neutral · AI labelView post →We watched the old Interview with the Vampire, then Prime decided to auto-play the TV show as a chaser. That's a hell of a contrast. Seeing TV Lestat made it all make sense, that guy totally kills that role. I thought we were going to get some Murdoch Mysteries villain, then he speaks.. jesus.

neutral · AI labelView post →I wish more people knew about the Canadian treasure that is the show Murdoch Mysteries, who doesn’t love a murder mystery show based in late 1890’s-1900’s Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
positive · AI labelView post →There's a Canadian show called Murdoch Mysteries that's been on for, like, 15 years and he solves a murder every week in early 20th Century Toronto. There were, like 3 murder convictions here that entire decade in real life.
neutral · AI labelView post →I really like having an easy-watch procedural on in the background while I’m doing stuff, but Castle, Elementary, The Mentalist, even Murdoch Mysteries…none would exist unless people were garrulous & stupid enough to show up in police precincts w/o a lawyer present. It’s shut the fuck up Friday.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you're not watching Murdoch Mysteries you're missing out. Its one of the best Canadian made & based shows of all time. I cant speak to what the writers, actors, & all others involved had in mind when it started, but it has truly evolved into a clever, funny, heart tugging show that 1/
positive · AI labelView post →The opposite of "niche fact a TV show or movie got wrong": In one Murdoch Mysteries episode, George mentions that one of his aunts moved from Newfoundland to Ontario, but soon moved back because she didn't like all the moose in Ontario. "Surely, they have moose in NFLD," thought I, and checked.
neutral · AI labelView post →CBC Gem has a lot of great Canadian shows like Murdoch Mysteries and Paw Patrol
neutral · AI labelView post →🎂🇨🇦 Happy birthday to Montreal-born Peter Keleghan, born Sept. 16, 1959! From Alan Roy on CBC’s Made in Canada to Ranger Gord on The Red Green Show, Murdoch Mysteries and even Seinfeld, he’s been a familiar Canadian screen presence for decades. Favourite role?
neutral · AI labelView post →A rare TV rec from me! Murdoch Mysteries really is THAT bitch. It has literally hundreds of episodes, ridiculous humour, and it shows the Victorian characters battling their own prejudices. It's just so good. Dr Julia Ogden is at least half of my personality. share.google/BXmNxcQDIUwL...

O’Bannon) The X-Files Cybill Star Trek: TNG Babylon-5 Cheers (Coach years) The Bob Newhart Show The Mentalist Murdoch Mysteries
neutral · AI labelView post →It's weird how the positive feelings of watching someone in one tv show can carry over to another character even when I can't quite figure out who they are. Anyway, the actress who plays Nicole Haught from Wynonna Earp is in an episode of Murdoch Mysteries
neutral · AI labelView post →Murdoch Mysteries is a Canadian institution and has been renewed for its 20th season. There are 335 episodes. For anyone who needs to disappear into a world, it’s a cheesy, funny Sherlock Holmesian show set in 1890s Toronto with the birth of forensic science in policing. It’s a charming show.
positive · AI labelView post →I wax poetic about this 24/7 but this copaganda captured how white Canadians still operate so well that I had to share since it is a clip from Murdoch Mysteries, i.e., a Netflix show set in the Victorian era, yet it portrays how smugly Canucks feel like their racism is MUCH better than the US's!?! 🤡
negative · AI labelView post →Someone below reminded me of Letterkenny, it is definitely full of Canadian culture. There's Murdoch Mysteries which has lots of historic Canadian sites. There's Trailer Park Boys, and lesser known was Psy-Factor (?) which was a Canadian X-Files.

For reference, here's what they've already watched: Bosch Bosch: Legacy Beyond Paradise Death in Paradise Elementary Endeavour Father Brown Lewis Lie to Me Longmire Marple Midsomer Murders Murdoch Mysteries NCIS Poirot Shetland The Brokenwood Mysteries The Mentalist While they generally seem to prefer British detective shows, I'm not sure which ones are left to recommend to them.

Available on Amazon in Canada and the US. He's led an amazing life, overcome many troubles.

neutral · AI labelView post →Part of the plot of an episode of The Murdoch Mysteries, a Canadian historical mystery series, revolved around ratting dogs (rat terriers and Jack Russell terriers) being given cocaine to make them better at rat baiting. I can't imagine how hyperactive a Jack Russell on cocaine would be.

A while back, I met a Native Canadian lady in Amsterdam, who told me how her "favourite" show is Murdoch Mysteries.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just like the Murdoch Mysteries episode we watched yesterday, where the local diner's waitress lived in a "vagrant" encampment because the owner refused to pay her more. The early 20th century is back.
neutral · AI labelView post →Here is a good laugh. If you watch on TV, Ovation channel, "Murdoch Mysteries," today's show S19 E5 ... there are two delicious spinoffs about Trump. I.e. there are a "1925 report" and a scheme for Canada to annex the United States, and more. Applause!
neutral · AI labelView post →We had to keep quiet until the episode aired for the Canadian series Murdoch Mysteries that incorporated many of us. In Canada it can be found on CBC Gem. Murdoch visits a War of 1812 Reenactment and ... surprise! A murder occurs.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you want TV shows that go on forever, either Midsomer Murders or Murdoch Mysteries (not the movies, the series) will do the job!
neutral · AI labelView post →Also as someone else mentioned Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries is good, and Murdoch Mysteries which Hulu has S1-13, and Acorn has all 17 seasons (s18 is happening now in Canada). Edwardian era detective show set in Toronto, but it's also a comedy, a romance, steampunk, social commentary and feminist
neutral · AI labelView post →Episode over, and the murder at the beginning was part of the show! Spoiler alert: the conductor did it. The show only got better after the intermission. Seriously, if you ever have the opportunity to see Murdoch Mysteries in Concert, do it. A+.
positive · AI labelView post →An interview with Jonny Harris about his incredible series on CBC, Still Standing. Both of his shows, he’s also on Murdoch Mysteries, are teaching me pieces of Canadian history. I’ve a true fan of both & I haven’t been a faithful fan of TV since Beachcombers lol! www.tribute.ca/news/jonny-h...

neutral · AI labelView post →Murdoch Mysteries (spoiler alert). We have watched every episode of every season of Murdoch and goddamnit, Crabtree (Jonny Harris) leaving the show absolutely killed me. I really hope this is just a feint, because I love his character and also Effy. Fuck.
positive · AI labelView post →TBH, this would be one hell of a heritage minute. Also, for friends into #MurdochMysteries , it’s precisely these kind of shenanigans that kept our hero’s career from advancing for half the series. Even towards the end of the century, you had to be a member of the “correct” faith and clubs.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh so there’s a Canadian cozy murder show called the Murdoch Mysteries that nobody told me about? How can I ever trust blue sky again.

neutral · AI labelView post →Decided on Murdoch Mysteries from the start as a relatively easy going mystery series to occupy me. That said, just a few episodes into S1, alongside the focus on new techniques in detection, the cameos from Arthur Conan Doyle et al, it didn't hang around on a running theme of confronting prejudice.
positive · AI labelView post →It’s been like 12 hours and I’m still delighted by the discovery that the little weird guy who was my favourite on Murdoch Mysteries turned out to be gay! I pick the best weird little guy characters. They stopped showing Murdoch where I could see it after 12 series which is why I didn’t know.

(Mayday: ACI, Saving Hope. Murdoch Mysteries. Honorable mention: Hudson & Rex. Watched Don Cherry for years!) Sorry about our president.

Probably forgetting something. The first three are…
