Do I detect a trend?

So today I discovered some Due South vids on YouTube. Man, Due South...I had forgotten about you, I'm sorry.

Due South was the first fandom that I got big into - mind you, I was only ever a lurker, but I still spent most of my teenage years reading Due South fanfiction like it was going out of style (which technically it was, I suppose, given that the show only had 69 episodes).

So, I was watching these Due South vids, because back when I was big into Due South there was no such thing as YouTube. After listening to some of my favorite Canadian folk-tunes as sung by Benten Fraser, something occured to me:

This show is about two dudes who drive around Chicago in a Buick Riveria (or in S3/4 - a GTO).

Do I have a thing for shows about two dudes driving around in a really nice car?!

Ahhh Due South

Loved that show. Less epic, more light hearted, but still a great series.

I did go to check out some of the vids...but I am just not a Fraser slash fan, and had to abandon my searches as more and more were slash and less Gen.

Still a great show. Along with the 2 guys in a classic car, and humor well-mixed with drama, it also had a pretty good soundtrack. Not as great as the classic rock of SPN, but well-suited nonetheless :D

Haha, yeah, Due South Gen is a pretty rare thing. Paul Gross knew it too, I'm convinced he played to it when writing S3/4.

But yeah, great show. I mostly just found old clips of the show on YouTube, refreshing my memory. I actually have all the episodes on VHS - recorded off the TV in crappy EP mode.

Another show that blended humour and drama well - though, Due South was more on the humour side than SPN (and that's an understatement).

Due South had great music - most awesomely, Canadian music. Could you imagine SPN throwing a good Tragically Hip song into the mix? New Orleans is Sinking? Haha, too bad Dean will never be able to cross the border with that many weapons in his trunk :P
