    Storyline

    Edit
    The third and fourth seasons of "Due South" pick up shortly after the first two left off. Fraser returns to Chicago, to find a blond has assumed Ray Vecchio's identity, and everyone just seems to accept it but him. Fraser and his new partner (real name Stanley Raymond Kowalski) soon find level ground to agree on, and work together to solve crimes on the mean streets of Chicago. —Kaolin

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In its third season, when the show moved from CBS to first-run syndication, the new production company wanted the premise inserted into the opening titles, so first-time viewers wouldn't wonder what a Canadian Mountie was doing in Chicago. Paul Gross opted to include the premise in each episode, with "I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father, and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I've remained, attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate." It became a running gag throughout the third season, as the writers found different ways to insert the line into almost each script, whether it was spoken by Fraser or other characters.
    • Goofs
      Most of the city scenes are set in Chicago, IL, USA. However, if you watch the street signs you will see 'One Way' and 'Do Not Enter' signs without words on them, which are typical for Canadian cities. Also, speed limit signs can be seen posted in kilometers/hour instead of miles.
    • Quotes

      Fraser: She shot my hat, Ray.

      Ray Vecchio: [incredulous that this matters] She shot you in the hat?

      Fraser: [very serious] I can feel air coming in through the hole.

      Ray Vecchio: [serious] She shot you in the hat.

      Fraser: How does it look?

      Ray Vecchio: Doesn't look good.

      Fraser: We'll have to go home and get my other one.

      Ray Vecchio: We can do that, Fraser.

      Fraser: Thanks, Ray.

    They never should have cancelled it.
    I loved the show first-run and was thrilled last December (2002) when a local tv station in southern Sweden began to replay every episode as a daily filler. It's extremely clever, with wonderful, witty dialogue. The exchanges that Fraser has with the deaf Dief and his father's ghost are priceless as is the subtle (and not so subtle) sarcasm.

    Just a few complaints:

    *My favorite storyline was "Victoria's Secret" -- but what happened to Victoria? There should have been an ending there.

    *By the time I got used to the "other" Ray (Stanley) being in the cast, they made him cartoonish and dumb.

    *I think at the end, there was too much junk about women mooning over Frasure. All the googly-eyed stuff from his superior just plain embarassed me.

    *Fraser should have ended up with a woman -- a good woman who would make him more human and save him from his own perfection.

    It was a clever, clever bit to use actor Paul Gross' (Fraser) real-life wife as the ghost of his mother in the last episode. I have read that Gross "is sick of" this show and resents being remembered for it. If it's true, that's a shame. "Due South" will forever be one of my favorite television programs.
