Bordertown (1989 TV series)

Bordertown is a Canadian-American Western drama television series that aired for two seasons, from 1989 to 1991. The series was co-produced by Canada's Global Television Network and the United States' Family Channel.

The show is set in the late 19th century, specifically in the 1880s, and focuses on the fictional town of Bordertown, which straddles the US-Canada border. The main protagonists are Clive Bennett, a Canadian Mountie, and Jack Craddock, a U.S. Marshal. Despite their different backgrounds, nationalities, and approaches to law enforcement, Bennett and Craddock are forced to work together to maintain order and resolve crimes in their shared community.

Bordertown explored various themes relevant to the time period, including cross-border relations, cultural differences, frontier justice, and the challenges of building a community in a remote and often lawless environment. The series often featured guest appearances from notable actors. While not a ratings blockbuster, Bordertown gained a loyal following for its character-driven stories and depiction of the historical period.
