    This looks like a great series; I know already that I’m really going to enjoy the old-fashioned setting and atmosphere.

  2. Pierce says:

    Canadian’s and Brits are in love with Detective Murdoch.
    Series three starts to air in the UK next week.

  3. naomi rubin says:

    will there be more episodes of “Murdoch Mysteries” ?

  4. Lynn Van Buren says:

    Will you be airing more Murdoch Mysteries. I see that it won’t be on tomorrow. Thank you.

    His overly made-up face is distracting. No man should ever wear that much eyeliner! I miss ,and much prefer, British “Mystery!” shows, not Canadian ones…

  6. Ford says:

    Found out today that the show is back on March 23rd with Til Death Do us part.
    But this show is a co production with the UK and Canada. And also the main cast consists of an Australian, Helene Joy, Tom Craig who is British and two Canadians Jonny Harris and Yannick Bisson.
    The author is British who wrote the books and the producer is also British.

    @ketterly

    Wow, where did that strong reaction to Canadian mysteries come from? It’s only one show, so don’t feel threatened. Unless you’re afraid there might be more? :)

  9. maureen says:

    Murdoch mysteries on PBS is a great series. It ison par with the english mysteries, which are excellent. It is a little different, but superbly acted,. Will there be more and soon?

  10. Evelyn says:

    Thank you for introducing me to Murdoch Mysteries. Since watching the first few episodes I’ve become hooked and see online how the series has captured interest around the world. I hope you will air all four seasons of the show, as apparently the character development builds each season. Very clever mix of history, mystery, romance and humor. Best new show I’ve seen in ages.

  11. Angela Ferrara says:

    Great series. Love the interjection of famous “guests” – Tesla, Conan Doyle, etc.. Cast is great & very likeable. Content is witty, cheeky, & has that occasional eerie element . Hope to see it on your programming for a long while.

  12. Roberta says:

    One of the best mysteries on PBS; we hope it will continue.

  13. Judith Flores says:

    Just started to watch the show and love it love it love it.

  14. Judi Says says:

    Just caught a few of these shows. I’m a mystery fan and this entertains. More please mum…

  15. Paula says:

    Love this series. Hope there will be more. It’s a fun look at the period and the developing characters.

  16. Judith Kurland says:

    I’ve watched a lot of these shows already – I hope you will show new ones. Not just reruns. I wish you and channel 13 could coordinate because you show programs and then they do also, so I’ve seen them already. Also, when I set my DVR from Cablevision to your broadcast time, sometimes the timing is off and I get Rosemary and Thyme (near the end) and then miss the endings of Murdoch. Can’t you stick to your schedule more carefully? I also would like to see all of them that were made. Good luck and I just want to let you know that I do support you financially – but you keep sending requests for membership and then I send in another $60 because I forgot I sent in some months ago. Please upgrade your records so I don’t get multiple requests!!

  17. Sue says:

    I love this show! The characters are a great ensemble. I love the history, fashion and stories of Murdoch. More please!

  18. terry ferraro says:

    I cannot wait to see this one. I absolutely love these British mysteries. Verry happy

  19. terry ferraro says:

    I cannot wait to see this one. I absolutely love mysteries especially British ones. Just great.

  20. melodee geraghty says:

    Can we move on to another season please. I hope it is possible because this is a really great show!

  21. Josephine says:

    Was this past Saturday the end of the series on WLIW? I notice that it is not listed in the coming week.

  22. Kathleen says:

    What happened to the Murdoch Mysteries that seem to have suddenly disappeared from WLIW? It’s an excellent program, and I find that the new “Zen” series is NOT catching my interest. Please bring Murdoch back.

  23. Arlene Gonzalez says:
