Murdoch Mysteries is a show that I watch more because it's still there these days, but also in memory of what it used to be like. I think my favourite ever episode was quite a few seasons ago, when Murdoch and George went to Newfoundland and met George's 'aunts', and also bumped into Marconi.

I second Mary Balogh. I've been on a bit of a Regency kick this last year or so, after not reading any for a long while, and I've found that Mary Balogh has really matured into a writer who knows how to write deep feelings that feel real.
