Your most pointless TV/movie/book nitpicks

[Arnie_Wan_Kenobi]

Have you ever seen the TV show "Due South"? It's set in Chicago and there are many times you can make out Toronto landmarks. My favourite was when, during a chase scene, you can clearly see a sign pointing to Skydome.

Bad movie geography is always fun, but no--I've completely missed Due South. Thanks for the example!

If you've never seen it, it's well worth the watch. It's a comedy/drama about a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who travels from the Yukon, to Chicago, looking for the killer of his father (also a Mountie). It's a show starring mostly Canadians, shot in Toronto, pretending to be in Chicago, that displays how Canadians think Americans think about Canadians. Got that?

It ran from 1994 to 1999 and, last I checked, was available on Tubi.

Due South was great fun. Particularly the episodes where they go full-on surreal.

Plus there's a scene where Leslie Neilsen talks to the lead character through a toilet. After an impromptu musical number.

Loved Due South as a kid, admittedly haven't gone back to it.

My favourite episode was when the Mounties from The Musical Ride were on a train, with Benton Fraser, and all rode off the train to catch the bad guys. They released the song as a music video at the same time that the episode was released.

All the Mounties have been gassed. Fraser: "They should be waking up about... now."
All the Mounties wake up and start singing where they left off.

I almost forgot about Fraser's dad.

Fraser's father the ghost, who only he could see, and that he assumed was his imagination.

Except that a few other people saw him too.

That's the one. Then there's the episode where the ghost of Ray's dad shows up as well.

I should dig out the DVDs.

And the two ghosts can see each other
