skybluewolf Like most of the other posters I remember watching this show as a kid. Every Sunday on the United Kingdoms Independent Telavision Channel (the U.K.s only commercial station at the time). Loved the characters especially Nick and Relic who's seemingly constant feuding was one of the aspects of the show that made it so engaging. Of course the scenery of the coast of British Colombia was also amazing. The main episode I remember is the one where two of the teenage characters get stuck on an Island and the girl goes into a Diabetic coma. Alos to the person who posted about the name of Nick's boat it was indeed the Persephone, named after the Greek Goddess I imagine. I am now going to try and get this series on D.V.D.

valgin I grew up about 20 miles from the Canadian border, near Bellingham, in Washington State. The show was the first opportunity for us to see things outside our small town of ACME. The pontoon airplane was always the hit, and the inter cultural cast of characters helped us to see that there was more out there. I agree that it was a family show, and hence we were allowed to watch it as children. In that period, our region had a local tribe of Indians. I think they are still there. Being as confined as we were, I think I remember racial tensions, or in any case, school was were one saw the few Indians and the rest. Because my parents came from Europe, they didn't know anything about the situation. The TV show helped me understand the culture through Jesse, and I was one of the few kids who finished by having friends ( a friend) from the tribe in my Junior High School. Interesting how we can be positively affected by TV.If they were ever to do a DVD of some of the episodes, I would like to hear about it. Best, Valgin

cyrenaica Sunday nights in Canada were never complete until "The Beachcombers" were over. Now, one can watch the show in all it's glory on TV Land Canada, Thank God for the CRTC and their Canadian Content rules or this could be a lost gem. While a graduate student in the US, I was surprised at the number of American students who were close to the border and fell in love with "The Beachcombers", I even remember the commercials that Bruno Gerussi used to do for McCain's back then. It is indeed sad that Nick, Molly, and Relic are no longer with us as that would have made for a better TV reunion movie. Thanks again to TV Land Canada, your continued support of "The Beachcombers" is graciously appreciated by the fans.

gazzo-2 Wow. Until I stumbled across this entry on IMDB, I had no idea that 'Nick' and 'Relic' were both gone. That is sad. I watched this as a kid growing up in northern Maine, we got Channel 6 outta St John really clear, and of course this, 'Mr Dress Up' and 'the Friendly Giant' were staples of a kid's TV viewing at the time.They don't make them like this anymore, 'Beachcombers' kinda fit in with the Waltons, Little House, Disney flix, all wholesome kinda family entertainments, nothing too scary or controversial. It was shot right there on location in Gibson's BC, it had many locals-Inuits, Japaneses, French, etc come and go too-which is Realistic for the BC Coast. Not tokenism, just-opening the window and showing what's out there.Good show, good memories, 'Nick' vs. 'Relic' was always fun.*** outta ****
