Murdoch Mysteries seems to be quite unashamed of making it clear they are in Toronto. So that's one cop show!
And apparently being quite successful at it.

All three shows showcase and mention landmarks, streets, etc. but almost never actually say what city or country they're in. I think it's a deliberate move to make it less obvious to Americans that they're watching a foreign show. It's a shame because the identities that many cities have is partly a product of the media. Those shows are a step in the right direction though, and they're not half bad either.
Really? I quite like Murdoch Mysteries. Seems generally well written, well acted, well shot, and entertaining. I haven't seen the Bridge ... but Flashpoint ... well it was well done and all, but the complete lack of characterization was ... well reminiscent of CHiPs. And I love all the old Toronto stuff ... or at least their attempt at it.barf, I hate that show.
What does all this have to do with the topic of the thread?

The thread subject was "a positive thread about Toronto, it's present and future". Surely, a discussion of all the great TV shows made in Toronto that actually depict Toronto does indeed meet the criteria!What does all this have to do with the topic of the thread?
