The Real History behind "Murdoch Mysteries"

I like to watch each episode twice. The first time for the story, the second time for the set details. Never boring, either time.

I was born on Lombard Street, Buffalo, N.Y. - Great video! Thanks kindly.

The accuracy of historical details are just one of the things I love about the show. Thanks for a great presentation.

Little fun fact: my grandmother (who died in 2014) was born close to the same time as Susannah Murdoch in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Great show but I never watched it in the earlier seasons as I worked on it for 7 or 8 years, so why watch when I was there when it was fimed? Cast and crew were the best folks I could have wanted to work with in my 35 years in the business. Murdoch makes me miss working these days. A new season begins shooting in May.

Greetings from the US of A. And thanks for a truly fascinating view of details that I would never have known. One issue for me is the pronunciation of the name Toronto. In the earlier years of the show, I gather the actors had to struggle to make sure they pronounced the final "t" in the name and that the "o" had a pure sound. In Season 16,, they seem to be approaching a more modern pronunciation where the final "t" disappears and the final sound is similar to a schwa. Is there any record of this shift in pronunciation? [BTW, the city of Sacramento has the same final sound in English as today's Toronto but Spanish speakers clearly enunciate all of the sounds.]

[@OldTorontoSeries]

I'm not sure it was intentional to not pronounce the Ts this season. I had a small part in one of the episodes - and saying the old version of Toronto is oddly difficult for us locals!

[@Zeyev]

@@OldTorontoSeries It's difficult for me and I'm a Usonian. That's why it was so striking to hear it in the earlier seasons. I'm guessing it's still the natural way for the British actor - who's playing a Brit - but I'm not sure how easy it has been for the Aussi who's playing a Canadian.

As a Torontonian, I was once sternly corrected by a South American on how we say Cuba(Q-ba) "No! No! It's Cu-ba!"
