Due South Poll

[Matt]

I personally preffered Kowalski better, I think he was just better. The people who made Due South also had more of a character to work with. Don't get me wrong I liked Vecchio too, when I started watching it was still in the first season so of course Vecchio was still around. Plus I thought he perhaps left a little too early at that, but still I just thought the Kowalski character was better...

Vecchio was the original and forever will be king. The guy who played Kowalski played a Cylon in the new Battlestar Galactica so he gets cool points for that, but not enough.

[Matt]

I liked Vecchio, but Kowalski acted tougher, which is why they could work more with him, was they could have an underneath it all kind have scenes that worked well.

[Dan #3]

I think the best partner he ever had was the Ghost Mountie though.

[Gob]

Which one was the dog?

[Dan #3]

Haha, I forgot about the dog, what was his name? The dog was deaf, right?

[Matt]

Diefenbaker was the dog's name.

[Dan #3]

Diefenbaker! How could I forget the name of one of the worst Prime Ministers Canada has ever had?

[Crusader]

I liked Vecchio and this reminds me, I have to get this show on DVD!

[Matt]

I like the DVDs, on season 3 the pilot is on one of the discs for the set too...

Kowalski is the reason I stopped watching the show. It almost felt like they were just trying to replace vecchio(which you can't), changing a few details here and there, instead of bringing a completely different and fresh character to the mix. I also felt that frasier and kowalski lacked the chemistry that he and Vecchio had. I got bored really fast.

vecchios personality complimented frasers perfectly. and he was actually believable as a cynical city cop, unlike all of the cops in these C.S.I. detective shows, 24, law and order etc.

I don't really think that at all. I think unlike with Vecchio, they took more time to actually explore Kowalski's character, where as with Vecchio it sometimes felt he was just along for the ride when they could have explored his character too.

I didn't watch that many episodes and I can't remember Kowalski much but Vecchio was a blast - now I need to buy the dvds..............
