you mean two two parters in the season? cuz isn't the third ep a cowboy one and the fourth the wedding one? Hmm, I guess I am confused. I thought the logging camp one was near the start of the season. It's the 'counting' fiasco all over again.  |

In France, the seventh season is not scheduled yet so we have to wait a long long long loooooooooooooooooonnng time before the eighth season.  You haven't seen the 7th season yet in France? WTF?  Something is waaaay wrong with MM promotion and distribution. I think the seventh season surely will be aired in september 2014 and the eighth in september 2015. It seems to me that MURDOCH MYSTERIES is not very known in France. It is aired on a french public channel "FRANCE 3" which is known as a channel for people who are retired, for its most popular french TV show "Plus belle la vie" - NO COMMENT!  or maybe "you better switch your TV off instead of watching it"- and as a channel with a tight budget. |

I saw that before but I still don't get the second comment. Secretariat is a movie I think, is that other one also a movie? They top it by making it a two parter and having Murdoch kick ass, or rather punch it. Yes it implies something about horse racing. Well, we did see a shot of William on a horse, but I believe that was before the first episode was being shot...? If the logging camp one is also a 2-parter, that is two 2-parters in a row, which would be weird. I think there are horses involved and William riding, etc. in the episodes but I don't think Peter Mitchell's (showrunner) tweet was referring to the story line or plot. I saw it as him giving a salute to what he sees as the high quality of the final product (ie: the 8 episodes 801 & 802). He also commented/tweeted a little while back about the fine editing of those two episodes so I gather that from a production p.o.v., those two episodes in particular are something they are very happy with and very proud of. That's really amazing, given they are going into 8 years of production of this show and the production crew still has lots of energy and vision. |

yeah that's why i just illegally watch stuff. I thought you were in Toronto. But yeah, me too. I have an upright soul like William, but the desire to watch MM at the same time as everyone else overcomes me. Me too.  I'd gladly pay for the content I watch, but for most shows I like, it's not an option here in Japan. Or if it is, it's a year or more later. If you don't mind some language, the Oatmeal did a great cartoon on this topic as it related to Game of Thrones. theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones |

You're grinding diamonds out of dimes. Best episodes yet, thanks" |

According to another French person I 'know' there are apparently around 4 million viewers there (unless I'm completely remembering wrong)...we only have around a million in Canada which is around 1/35th of the pop. France's viewership is equivalent to about 1/17th of the pop. So basically it's twice as popular there as it is here. So yeah, I don't get why they are so far behind other places in Europe in terms of airing episodes. |

I don't believe I ever said that... I meant more for other stuff...but I have watched the show illegally because I didn't want to wait until Citytv aired it a month or more after Alibi. It wasn't nearly as popular back then so I couldn't just stream it since no one had uploaded it and I had to torrent it instead from a single lovely Brit. Let's just consider it Emersonian Civil Disobedience and hope we don't have to pay the price for it.  |

LOL - this is the same as "PBS" in the US! And someone suggested this is what CBC was formally known as in Canada, though they seem to be getting more hip with MM ("from workhorse to Secretariat"?). At this minute I am watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries which several people on Reddit recommended to me as "like MM". It is not "like MM" - it is like another PBS "Brit Mystery". MM is much closer to regular American TV programming and seems to have been sadly miscategorized due to its historical setting. It's not even Sherlock. While it's not Sci Fi, I would put it in the same box pacing-wise as the Sci Fi shows like Orphan Black, Primordial, Continuum...hmm, what else comes from Canada? Well, whatever - MM is NOT paced liked a Brit Mystery. It's a hybrid between a Brit Mystery and modern detective show. Distributing MM on these PBS channels are utter FAIL because they do not have the budget and they will always be several seasons behind. I doubt they will buy several seasons at once and marathon reruns to win flocks of new addicts viewers which has been the tried and true strategy of scripted shows in the US. I have to say, in all grouchiness, that somewhere in the pipeline MM is just being presented/sold wrong. |

This excites me and jazzes me up far more than any leaked wedding pics! |

If you don't mind some language, the Oatmeal did a great cartoon on this topic as it related to Game of Thrones. theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thronesOMG - the whole issue in a nutshell!!!! I love your students. I pay for a mid-level cable TV package: it costs more than I want to pay per month already, and I don't see why I can't have MM on that. I used to have Netflix, but I dropped it after they wanted to charge me more for keeping DVD delivery. Like the cartoon, I don't see why I should have to pay for a lot of other crap on top of the cable package. Truthfully I'd rather get rid of the cable package and go full digital a la carte, but my housemate's head is still stuck in the 20th century, and I have to accommodate him on this. On the angel side, my Mom got the DVD sets of the first 6 seasons for Christmas and her birthday, and I'm sure she will be getting Season 7 as well (when the price becomes reasonable). |

This should be your national TV show! When I asked a friend whether he watched it in Ottawa, he had never heard of it, and he wasn't sure whether he got a channel that carried it! |

It is one of the highest viewed Canadian shows in Canada. There's only about ten shows though...(I dunno, I'm just guessing). I think maybe it doesn't get advertised the same way outside of Ontario so that's why a lot of people still haven't heard of it. And there's probably a fair amount of avoidance because Canadian tv was pretty bad up until recent years when we finally started to get some production value. Even so I know people who think the show is too 'hokey' and can't stand it for that reason. Sorry I should say I used to know them. |

Hmm, perhaps they should be force-fed some American "faith values" TV if they really want to see "hokey". Perhaps they are too "edgy" for their own good. Since the 90s lot of good American TV shows have been made in Canada, and their production quality has to match the production quality and style/pacing of other shows here. We have gotten used to villains having Canadian accents! Perhaps the experience from working on those shows rubbed off on Canadian production teams? MM is very much like an American show, pacing-wise. As I said to fans2tvshows, I think something is wrong with MM distribution since it seems to be getting sold to a bunch of "public broadcasting" venues: these are perceived as primarily for "old fuddy duddies", and that means MM is being lumped in with the British Mystery genre. It's not that genre. On the up side, maybe MM will help "update" the image of public TV and bring in a younger audience. But I think it more likely that being on those stations will drag MM down.  |
