Trivia
With a run of eighteen years (from 1972 to 1990), this series was the longest running Canadian dramatic prime time television production in Canadian history. It was cancelled as a result of CBC budget cuts, and declining viewership, due to frequently shifting time slots.

The most enjoyable television show ever made.

I grew up with The Beachcombers. As soon as the school holidays came I would excitedly check the tv guide to see if my favourite show would be on again. The Beachcombers is yet another example of the excellent quality of distinctly Canadian shows only the CBC could make. "Stoney Plains" and "Ritter's Cove" were also very enjoyable shows. I fell in love with The Beachcombers...even ol' Relic, and developed a fascination for stunningly beautiful Canada. The Beachcombers is a wonderful, feel good show...loads of good fun and laughs and a little sadness. It was very easy to become addicted to. I can honestly say it is still the most enjoyable series I have ever watched and I think always will be.
