I am increasingly being drawn back to shows I watched as a kid, sometimes the results are very disappointing, but not here.
This is your typical "unlikely pair solves some crimes" sort of affair. It is a bit silly and a little repetitive; but such good fun.
The show gets an awful lot of mileage out of the "polite Canadian" bit, but I never got tired of it.
There are some strange aspects of this show that date it - like how each episode basically has a music video where an entire rock track or power ballad blasts out over a car chase of a love scene.
The characters are great and although it does dip into the emotional pool now and then it is generally light and good natured fun.
You can also play some fun drinking games.
* Benton smashes through a window - drink.
* Ray does an illegal U-turn - drink.
* Francesca shows her underwear - drink.
* Benton's dad changes outfit - drink
* Ray uses all his bullets - drink
* Diefenbaker sneaks a snack - drink
The picture is in the old format, the effects are all real (pre-cgi) some of the plots aren't particularly clever - but even thirty years later (I know, right?) this is still a great watch.
