Living as I do in the United States, I’ve never had the opportunity to see Murdoch Mysteries. But the video clips I have been able to watch make it look intriguing. Maybe by the time the show has completed its run everywhere else, some American network or syndication company will finally decide to let the rest of us in on the fun.

By the way, the third series of Murdoch Mysteries is set to begin airing on Canada’s CityTV on Friday, March 5.
