I've been watching Heartland on Youtube season5 & it's currently on Canadian TV, but we don't get it here. :(
(Not like Glee which we get just a few days after American viewers, but that here is on Sky.) :)
Some lovely person has up loaded the first two episodes of this new Heartland series. :) Third is yet to be shown on CBS.
I don't know how it's allowed, but I'm not complaining, it's brilliant! :laugh:

That really brought back some memories. :laugh:
That is one series I wouldn't mind being remade for today's audience. Was there any truth in it being scrapped because the story-lines were too complicated for people to follow (which I believe the critics complained of at the time)?
There seems to have been several reasons for the series ending - ATV changing to Central Television, rising costs, the availability of the main actors, who were high profile are some of the reasons.

Here's the Wiki. :laugh:

It's certainly very atmospheric and the special effects, which were done on the cheap, are actually very good. :)

I watched some episodes again a few years back....really trippy and quite scary :eek: :eek: I use to have a crush on Steel...Steel was David McCallum right? But the crush wasn't from this series but Man From Uncle :laugh:

Brilliant series so funny, would you like a cup of tea fathers, go on go on go on go on. :laugh: :laugh:
It was a terribly racist program insulting us Irish and the catholic religion.
If something so cliched was made about another country there would be hell to pay.
Us irish have a much richer culture than the cheap gags portray.
For instance i've only ever drank Toilet Duck once.
And we only try to solve most problems with a cup of tea .
And not all of our priests are alcoholic womanisers , thieves and idiots(only cos some are dead i admit)
Anyway down with that sort of thing .
Careful Now.
