I used to watch this show sporadically in the early 80's on the CBC. Now it is currently run on digital channels Mystery and Deja View here in Canada. I gotta say I love the show. Seeing Things is an interesting snapshot of Canada in the early 80's.
All in all most of the eps seem well written and acted, although not nearly as slick as current programs on network TV...but that could be the charm of this show.
Del Grande was pretty funny in this show. Just a normal guy type character.
I have to nominate the theme song for Seeing Things as the most bizarre and odd theme song for any television show.
Thanks to Mystery and Deja View for running this classic.

Dear Canada, please do something productive and get Seeing Things out for the world to enjoy.
I remember being a young lad just south of the border (Candain border) and enjoying this show as a ripping young red-blooded American lad. I think if Canada doesn't come through on this for me, I will stop leaving cookies on St. Blogasoat Eve for all the French-Canadian mimes so they won't stay "stuck in the box."
Beyond that, well, I feel strongly that Canada, a once well-meaning nation, has lost touch with the ticklebone. Why, I remember those cold winter nights in Minnesota thinking that Toronto was an enclave of ethnic diversity -- even back in the early 80s.
Canada - please obey.

For those of you looking to rewatch this series - it's on YouTube right now.
I went looking for where to watch it after watching "Scanners", and recognizing Loius Del Grande (before his head exploded) from this series.
It's cool watching it now, getting a snapshot of Toronto in the 1980s.
Very dated, though - some sexism and racism. I enjoy the humour, spooky visions, and occasional visual reference to the CBC.
I just learned that the leads Louie and Marge are married in real life. I feel like Louis is essentially being himself, and much of his character is based on his actual traits.... minus the ESP of course.

This series ran for about six years. Excellent off-beat humor, with witty commentary on Canada, the U.S., family relations, media industries (film, TV, newspapers, music, etc) and life and society in general. The unlikely hero is Louis (as in Looie), who starts having visions after separating from his wife. When he touches a corpse or an item that was on the corpse or was used in the murder, that triggers an increasingly explicit series of visions. Of course, getting the crown attorney to believe him is the first major hurdle. If you like Due South, you will like this one. In fact, Louis did a guest spot on Due South. Perhaps Turner will pick this one up as well. I sure would enjoy Seeing Things again.
This show is fantastic. It has just the right combination of funny and spooky. The characters are great, the mysteries are really interesting, and it has this great 80's Toronto setting.
Louis is a great character, sort of like a Canadian reporter version of George from Seinfeld. And I love the vision sequences, with the zoom in on his eyes and the crazy music.
Some people say that the latter seasons weren't as good, but I wouldn't agree with that. Sure the show did get a bit crazy a times, but it still worked.
Everything about this show is good. I'd really have to say it's my favorite Canadian TV show of all time.
Someone should really broadcast this show again.

- Générique farfeluWhen this series was rerun on the Canadian cable network Showcase in the mid-1990s, the network chose to precede each episode with a disclaimer advising viewers that the series - produced only a few years earlier - "does not necessarily depict" the way relationships between men and women were treated in the 1990s. This politically correct disclaimer was roundly criticized by viewers and the media, and was eventually dropped by the network.
