I loved this little half hour western with a heart! The idea of a town built smack on the US - Canada border in a time when nothing was written in stone or paper or anything else that a good fight wouldn't take care of...well it was just too perfect!
Richard Comar played the gruff but lovable U.S. "Marshal Jack Craddock " and was often the butt of the joke for his unrefined behaviour.
John H. Brennan played in perfect counterpoint as the Canadian Mountie "Corporal Clive Bennett" with his stuffy and often rigid view on life and the law.
Sophie Barjac was the joint love-interest as the town widowed doctor and life-mediator between the two men.
The series was in turn, funny then dramatic then poignant as it dealt with life and "law" in these times for settlers and aboriginals alike.
Well, TV people, the Bordertown set still exists in Pitt Meadows. Production costs should be lower now and comebacks are hot, so...moreless

Show Summary
- Ended
Bordertown, a weekly, half-hour western, quickly became the Family Channel's highest rated original series when it debuted in 1989. It had a very successful three year run before it was cancelled due to high production costs. The series still has a loyal following among fans. The series is set in the 1880's, and centers around two lawmen, an American Marshal and a Canadian Mounted Policeman, who must share jurisdiction of a small town that straddles the U.S./Canadian border. Both are romantically interested in Marie Dumont, the French widow of the town doctor, who has taken over her late husband's practice.moreless
