TV Show Drama "The Guard" Featuring Coast Guard…of Canada.
Posted on 24 March 2009 by Sean P. Lawler | Comments
I had never heard of this before today, but apparently our neighbors in the Great White North have a Coast Guard TV show that’s fairly popular. The prime time series called The Guard is described as:
A hour long character-driven ensemble series, it focuses on the lives of four imperfect, offbeat and sometimes difficult, but heroic Canadian Coast Guard Rescue specialists who face danger daily out on the Pacific Ocean, saving lives as they search for meaning in their own.
The show premiered in January of 2008 and is waiting to start it’s second season. For a little glimpse at the opening credits, head over here.
If your interested, ION Television acquired the US rights to the show and will begin airing the series later this year in the states. What do you think folks. Could it work as an American series (not reality based)? Why do you think it hasn’t been done yet? It seems like we have enough “stories” to keep it fresh. If they made a USCG TV show drama, what would you want to see from it?

I haven't watched it yet but I will. I would love to see a show based on the USCG. My daughter and future son-in-law are in the Guard and I feel they don't get the credit they deserve for protecting our borders and the lives they save. de

AS A FORMER AVIATION SURVIVALMAN, (WITH A SAG CARD), IN THE US COAST GUARD, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING "THE GUARD".
