Title: What's the title of this obscure canadian TV show
Post by: Mondain on May 14, 2008, 02:15:09 AM
From the end of the eighties or so.

It unfolds in Alberta or Manitoba if I recall correctly, it features a young man in his mid-twenties. In the first episode his parents get killed by a reckless truck, and then the guy needs to examine his parents' belongings, and discovers he was adopted. I think he also discovers a tarot card by the same occasion, along with some other information which will lead him on the trail of his real mother, and also on a trip to various locations in western Canada so as to uncover more clues. He's also pursued by mysterious people. He drives a 4x4.

Tarot plays an important role, at the beginning of each episode there's a description of a tarot card, and the guy finds many more in the subsequent episodes.

In the last one I remember seeing, he finds his mother back (who's in a wheelchair), but he's still stalked by a mysterious man. Then based on my relatively hazy memory of it all, no further episodes ever aired. So I don't know if this is the last episode that was ever made, if there's documentation about it on the Internet or if it's available somehow on DVD.

I thought that someone like Father Mike or Malek could know about it...

I was hoping this was going to be about Due South.  No idea what this is, I'm to young.

Johnathan's Quest -- I'm not Canadian, just a power googler.

I don't think that's correct--I found that, too.  I can't find any record of it on IMDB or Wiki, so chances are the person has the title wrong.

Due south is such an awesome show.  Whiteman did you ever watch due south?  You'd love it.
