I was just flipping channels, since the 49ers seemed to be beating the Cowboys pretty good, not expecting anything on our local channel, which now has some CW produced shows, so I did not expect anything of substance, when, this show called "Sullivan's Crossing", which I did read a pretty good review in our local paper recently, but I did not expect very much.

Instead, you get an interesting, thoughtful story, a main character that many can connect to, who works hard to achieve a dream, goes to the big city, and, I missed what happened exactly, but could see that all that she worked for gets derailed by desire for power by others, and now she returns to her hometown, and for the viewer, a chance to see what life in Nova Scotia is like, and it's sense of history, and the environment shaped by great rivers and lakes, with themes of family, community and responsibility, and of course, conflicts and misunderstandings, but with the lesson learned of striving to be real, and live with integrity, rather than buy into things that are fake. It seems the writers, producers and actors all want to make a great show.
