Town crier. :) *** IWAT sets mode: +o haggis <gabs_> okay everyone, got your questions ready? and please remember to tell us your real name :) <haggis> Hi guys. *** gabs_ is waiting <Mir1> Paul - OK, you can type whatever and whenevr you want, and we'll get the questions rolling. <IWAT> welcome Mr. Haggis! *** Chamber has quit IRC (Chamber) <Mir1> Now everyone is going to clam up, I can see it. ;-) <gabs> here we go... <gabs> From Bonnie MacGowan: As you may know, Kathy calls me DS's little good luck charm (since I was born the day DS came back on CBS for season 2) - so, for my 1st birthday (Dec. 8) feel free to get me a DS renewal! ;-) ;-) <gabs> Marie Leonard here in Seattle. Mr. Haggis: What is your favorite DS episode? <haggis> Victoria's Secret <gabs> Patty Winter here: Mr. Haggis, how did your EZ Streets meeting with Les Moonves go on Friday? <haggis> To Marie: but I also love Gift of the Wheelman <gabs> (Nicole Parrot) Deep down in your heart, which show idea do you prefer? DS or EZ? <haggis> Well, we're holding our breath, Patty. <gabs> This is Quelin Newsom. Thank you for being so available to us. What can we do to assist in the revival of due South? <haggis> Nicole, that's too tough, they're both my kids. *** MsFraser (jazz@jazz.interlog.com) has joined #duesouth <gabs> *fmouse* Judy Stouffer here - TYK for your post! One of our biggest discussions has been about Diefenbaker getting shot in victoria's Secret. So: Who Shot Dief? <haggis> Quelin -- not a lot right now. Letters to Alliance wouldn't hurt, but they're just seeing if it makes financial sense right now. <haggis> Oooo, that mean old Victoria did. <IWAT> hee <gabs> *AnnT* Ann Teitelbaum here from the Bay Area! Do you have a feeling that the network heads listen to anything but Nielsen families? *** Mikey_J (~mjdst36@ehdup-c1-1.rmt.net.pitt.edu) has joined #duesouth <gabs> *geolass* Sherry Haas here. Question from my hubby--are you the brains behind Walker, Texas Ranger? <haggis> Ann -- letters do help, but you need thousands of them to make a dent. *** AndMeToo has quit IRC (Ping timeout) <gabs> *Akeitz* Annie Keitz: In all the shows you've created, who is your favorite character? <haggis> There were very few brain cells necessary to create it. <Mir1> LOL!!!! HEE!

I love Fraser, I love my new characters. <gabs> *mleonard* Marie Leonard asks Mr. Haggis: If DS got another season, would you write for it? <IWAT> gabs... seeing double? <gabs> cath: doin' okay here :) <gabs> *atqh* Cecilia Lee in St. Louis How much of Fraser's character was dcreated before the series began, and how much was developed as you went along? <haggis> Heather: you're welcome. <haggis> can we slow down a bit? My fingers don't go that fast. <gabs> sorry, I'm trying to keep up with screen scroll. I'll slow down *** AndMeToo (AD@dyn124-167.win.mnsi.net) has joined #duesouth <haggis> Between EZ and DS -- you guys are mean. <haggis> Re: Fraser' character -- it sprang solid out of my head, unfortunately. Then Paul brought it to life. <gabs> okay, more questions yet? <gabs> er I mean to the chanel -- I have tonnes in the wings <gabs> channel even :) <haggis> sure *** AnnT (~moo@moo.dial-up.bdt.com) has left #duesouth <gabs> *PonyG1* From Paula Smus: Are you planning any other new series yet? <haggis> Not yet, Paula. I'm waiting to see what happens with EZ. Till then, I'm doing some research on a movie. <gabs> *swansonj* Jennifer Swanson - Welcome!:-) What other programs besides DS and EZ have you worked on? <haggis> Well, thirtysomething, LA Law, Tracey Ullman Show, City...and about seven or eight others. <gabs> *fmouse* Judy Stouffer here - what is the funniest practical joke you remember happening on the Due South set <gabs> I've been told the questions are coming through twice. are they? <Mir1> Gabs, yes. <haggis> yes. <IWAT> yes <IWAT> oops..sorry GMTA I guess :) <gabs> how odd. sorry, tech difficulties, I don't know what's wrong :( <haggis> Re: jokes. The funniest thing I saw were the "trailer wars" between PG and DM. Have you heard about them? <gabs> please forget the second copy :) <IWAT> ooo no do tell please <gabs> trailer wars??? do tell! <Mir1> Gabs - The last one didn't from Judy, but the others have been - two copies in one line, not two separate messages. <gabs> mir: ah, okay. itchy trigger finger, maybe :) *** DebW (dwalheim@172-73-177.ipt.aol.com) has joined #duesouth <haggis> Well, I think it started with PG. His trailer was a tiny bit larger than David's, and he liked to point that out ;). Then he started the rumor that he was installing a pool outside his trailer (more) *** gabs takes this opportunity to breathe :) <haggis> PG had his driver go out and get an kids pool and inflated it, filled it up with a couple gallons of water and would sit there on a deck chair with his bare feet in it. (more) <gabs> ROTFL!!! <Mir1> LOL!!!!! <IWAT> GIGGLE! outside his trailer (more) a lawn chair (more) <haggis> So Paul went out and got plastic flamingos (more) *** ARTFISH (~ARTFISH@33-251.client.gnn.com) has joined #duesouth <haggis> David got an beach umbrella (more) <haggis> Then pg went out and got an entire statuary. *** ARTFISH (~ARTFISH@33-251.client.gnn.com) has left #duesouth <Mir1> LOL!!!!! <Mir1> HEE!!!! <gabs> okay, onward? <haggis> This went on for the entire first season, until it took three or four drivers just to pack the stuff up every time we moved to a different location. <haggis> onward *** gabs giggles uncontrollably <gabs> *misscleo* (Nicole Parrot) on Who shot Dief again, we have this theory that he shot himself in order to frame Victoria... Do you think it's possible ? ;-) <Mir1> Paul - People are rolling in the aisles in the chat channel too, incidentally!!! <haggis> Nicole, I suspected as much myself. *** geolass has quit IRC (geolass) <gabs> that is just *too* funny! <haggis> okay, so now we can all say mean things about geoglass <gabs> *RedSuitsU* Quelin Newsom again: What do you feel is the stand-out quality about Ken Olin as an actor? *** geolass (~sptradr@pri4-21.ionet.net) has joined #duesouth <gabs> LOL! <Mir1> Darn, she's back. ;) <haggis> His ability to find the soul of the character, beneath what I've written. <gabs> *SWABK2* (Brian and Sandy MacGowan - the Great Bug's Parents) Have you ever thought of creating a series based out of Maritime Canada? <haggis> People were saying mean things about you geoglass. I tried to stop them. <haggis> The martimes are wonderful. <gabs> *DonnaG* Donna Gabriel here; do we know when DS will be shown on cable in the USA? <haggis> I hope some kind soul will later correct my spelling. <gabs> Paul: we might, if you're lucky :) <haggis> Sorry, no idea. I think they need another season before they can sell it to cable. <IWAT> Paul, it just means you are one of us :) *** Lillian has quit IRC (Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true) <Mir1> Paul - I was born to copy edit. (hint, hint) <grin!!> <haggis> Okay, time to dish Lillian. <gabs> *AnnT* Ann T again -- Just wanted to thank you for the creation of the _friendship_ between Fraser and Ray -- that's why I watched and love the show! <haggis> Thanks, Ann <gabs> *Stadlers* Jeanne Stadler Do you enjoy writing for your regular characters more, or for your guest characters more? *** AnnT has quit IRC (Ping timeout) <haggis> If you enjoy writing for guest characters more than your regulars, then you should get rid of your regulars. <gabs> *MsFraser* Jazz here -- Wondering why in Flashback, there wasn't really any "closure" to Fraser & Thatcher's relationship.....if DS were back, would you have them romantically involved? *** AnnT (~moo@moo.dial-up.bdt.com) has joined #duesouth <haggis> Sorry, wasn't around for Flashback. Haven't seen it yet. <gabs> *geolass* Sherry Haas could you give us a little history on the development of DS? *** Bronwyn (david@hd11-081.compuserve.com) has joined #duesouth <haggis> Sure. <gabs> *Shru* Heather (again): Do you have anything lined up should (horrors!) EZ Streets and DS not make the cut? <gabs> BTW, please forgive me if there are repeat questions from differnt people. I don't have much time to read what I'm copying... <haggis> CBS came to me and said "can you do something about a trapper or a mountie who comes to big city USA. (It was Robert Lantos who brought that idea to them.) (more) <haggis> I thought it was the worst idea I'd ever heard (more) <haggis> Then I sat around, feeling sorry for myself, saying "why do they always do this to me"? (more) <haggis> And then suddenly, I got an idea of how to do it and have a lot of fun with the characters. I sat down and came up with Fraser (more) *** fmouse has quit IRC (Connection timed out) <haggis> based on all those great serials from the fifties (more) <GiggleCat> ack judy!!!!! :( <GiggleCat> oops sorry *** Bronwyn has quit IRC (Changing Servers) <haggis> and then, having created the perfect, stereotypical Canadian, I said "OK, that's what Americans think of Canadians..." (more) *** fmouse (~mjstouff@wug.execpc.com) has joined #duesouth <haggis> "So, what do Canadians think about Americans?" (more) <haggis> "well", I said to myself... <haggis> They think they all pack guns (more) <haggis> they are incredibly rude (more) <haggis> shoot first, ask questions later. <haggis> So, I came up with Ray. *** geolass has quit IRC (geolass) <haggis> When I had the two of them, I had a show. <haggis> I think geolass took us seriously. *** Bron (david@hd11-081.compuserve.com) has joined #duesouth <gabs> hee! <gabs> *Gander* From Karen Cleveland: Do you see DS as opening the door for more foreign produced shows on US networks? As an experiment that didn't succeed/CBS didn't allow to succeed? *** geolass (~sptradr@pri4-21.ionet.net) has joined #duesouth <haggis> Absolutely. DS was the first non-US show on any American network. <gabs> *RedSuitsU* Quelin Newsom Again: What do you think of our "projects" like RCW-139, Duesapalooza, fan fic etc? <haggis> I think they're awful, and a complete waste of time. <IWAT> er? <haggis> I just saw forty people log off. <Mir1> HEE!!!! <Mir1> LOL. <gabs> *Shru* Heather here: How did you get started, writing, or were you once a lowly P.A.? *** Fouine (~jdrviau@ttyC6.granby.mtl.net) has joined #duesouth <haggis> No, I think you guys are doing a FABULOUS thing, keeping DS alive in cyberspace. <haggis> Heather -- I started out writing theatre (more) <haggis> Some of the worst plays ever to grace the Canadian stage. <haggis> Shortly after that, I was expelled from Canada. <gabs> LOL! <Mir1> ah. <haggis> Seriously, they were awful (more) <IWAT> HEE! <haggis> I wrote my first play when I was 19 (more) <haggis> It was based on (stolen from) CS Lewis' Narnia chronicles (more) <haggis> My sister, Kathy -- an actress then -- played the Witch. <haggis> The reviews were...not kind. <Mir1> Paul - Just a quick note, just wanted to make sure you know that :) is a smiley face. (Oh, goodness, I've been using them in my emails to you, so if you don't know what they are you probably think I'm a TOTAL jerk. :)) *** Calli has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) <Mir1> oops, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt. *** RedSuitsU has quit IRC ('nough said.) <haggis> My second "play" was a "comedy" review, entitled "OW Canada" (more) <haggis> Kathy was in that, too. (more) <haggis> It was supposed to be about 90 minutes long. (more) <haggis> Opening night, it ran over three hours. (more) *** state (youknowita@149.171.73.46) has joined #duesouth <haggis> Actors fell off the stage, the lights came up in the wrong places, it was one of the worst experiences in theatre history (more) <gabs> Paul: if it's easier, you can just let me know when you're ready for the next question -- I can wait 'til then to paste :) <haggis> It was supposed to preview for a week, and then run for eight weeks (more) <haggis> We decided to preview for six weeks, then open for two. <haggis> The reviewer came to see it twice, once in previews, once when it finally opened. <haggis> The first words of his second review were "I must be a masochist". <haggis> It was shortly after that that I was asked to leave the country. paste :) <gabs> *PattyW* From Patty Winter: A comment rather than a question--I just want to mention that after all this time, Victoria's Secret is still by far the most talked about episode on DSOUTH-L. Thank you for giving us such a memorable, richly textured two hours of television. <haggis> Cool <haggis> I wrote it in about five days. <haggis> At the time, I had no idea if it was going to turn out. <haggis> gabs? <gabs> *geolass* Sherry Haas TYK could you give us some bacground on the development of DS? *** Bron has quit IRC (Changing Servers) <gabs> well, we've kinda covered that one already.. <haggis> That's what you get for leaving us, Sherry. <IWAT> gabs I have one from someone if you are lacking in questions <g> <gabs> cath: I have tonnes. <gabs> *ScottC* Please ask Paul where the best crews are? Toronto or LA? <gabs> scott: you evil one, you! <VBG> *** IWAT giggles <haggis> btw, I've noticed that this a very nice group. Too nice. I think I've done something terrible. <gabs> LOL! *** Bronwyn (david@hd11-081.compuserve.com) has joined #duesouth <haggis> I've turned you all into Canadians. <haggis> don't get me in trouble, Scott. <gabs> some of us *are* CDN :) <Mir1> I'm a wanna-be Canadian, myself. <IWAT> I am Cdn! <gabs> *DebW* "DebW" Debbie Walheim -- Will there be any recurring guest characters on EZ Streets? <haggis> BTW, it's a terrific myth that Canadians are nice. Some of the meanest people I've ever met are Canadian. I just can't think of them right now. <haggis> Yeah, bunches of them. (more) <Mir1> HEE! <haggis> There's Sammy Feathers, there's Leo, there's Father Mac (played by Beau Starr) <haggis> gabs? <gabs> *misscleo* (Nicole yet again) how aware were you of comments made by fans on the mailing lists (during the first or second season)? Did we influence the show just a tiny bit? <haggis> And Hi, Deb! <haggis> Sorry, I wasn't on line then. (more) <haggis> But Scott would print them out for us from time to time, and they were terrific to read. (more) *** Paws has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) <haggis> However, in the early days, we got a lot of complaints about DS. (more) <haggis> Especially from Canadians, who believed I was sacking the Canadian identity. <haggis> Occassionally, I would write back to some fans, when I had the time. <haggis> I remember apologizing to several of them for some of the episodes -- <haggis> not that they were "offensive", but that they were just plain bad. <haggis> okay, so no one has tried this question I bet -- which is your LEAST FAVORITE episode? What did I do that REALLY STUNK? *** Serrak (Serrak@poste55-41.ulaval.ca) has joined #duesouth <IWAT> ooooo good one paul! :) <gabs> paul: that was gonna be mine, once I got through the rest :) <gabs> but not quite in those words :) <haggis> I don't believe that, Gabs, you're too damn nice. *** gabs blushes :) <haggis> See how EZ Streets has changed me? *** state (youknowita@149.171.73.46) has joined #duesouth <Mir1> Paul - Don't let her fool you with that sweetness act. ;-) <haggis> over to you, gabs. <gabs> *MsFraser* Jazz here again :) -- just wondering how it came to be that Paul Gross was casted as the mountie and David Marciano as the cop? <haggis> Maybe I can start a fight here or something. :) <haggis> Okay, jazz, I'll answer that. <gabs> a food fight, maybe. we have lots of those... :) <haggis> I looked for about six months to find Fraser (more) *** Mir1 throws a donut with sprinkles. <IWAT> I have the weapons for it if you need them :) *** fmouse has quit IRC (Leaving) <haggis> We cast in Toronto, Vancouver, LA, NYC and London (England.) More <haggis> Early on, the casting director said "You have to see this guy, Paul Gross" <haggis> I watched his demo tape -- it was just awful. <IWAT> hee! <haggis> He was doing some scene from a CBC miniseries. <haggis> He was dressed as a redcoat (with a high collar), astride a horse. <haggis> And he looked..ridiculous <IWAT> Chasing Rainbows <haggis> So, I said to Nan, my casting director -- "He's chubby and he can't act" <Mir1> HEE!!! LOL!!!!!! <haggis> About five months later, the CBS person said again, you have to see PG... <gabs> hmm, I wonder if we should forward a copy of this log to Mr. Gross... ;) <IWAT> gabs, hee! <haggis> So I met with him...and within two minutes, I knew he was Fraser. <haggis> And please send this to Paul Gross. <haggis> re: David... <haggis> I looked forever for "Ray" <haggis> David finally came into read, and the first thing he said was "I can't play this guy". <haggis> But the way he said it, I knew he WAS Ray. <haggis> So I told him not to bother reading that day, to go home, take his time with the material and come back. <haggis> So he did, about two days later... <Ches> You should see the channel falling apart laughing over this story! :) <haggis> And he says to me: "Now I KNOW I can't play this guy" *** IWAT giggles <haggis> So, I say, "Yeah, I'm sure you're right. But...." <haggis> "Let's just read this scene, okay?" *** fmouse (~mjstouff@wug.execpc.com) has joined #duesouth <haggis> and so we did, and I knew he was Ray. <haggis> But a year later, he was still saying he had no idea who Ray was. <haggis> I kept trying to convince him that he WAS Ray, so he should just stop worrying. <haggis> They're both terrific guys, and I miss them dearly. <haggis> Gabs? <gabs> *Cush* Melissa C. Banczak here, when you started did you have the idea to use Fraser Sr as a ghost <Mir1> Paul - I have a message to relay from everyone: We are on the floor in hysterics, turning blue, please stop being so funny or we may die right here. Well, I'm paraphrasing. <GRIN> <IWAT> ah, but worrying is a part of Ray :) <IWAT> mir, <g> <haggis> Melissa: No. I'll tell you about that (and stop laughing gabs and Mirl, this is serious) <haggis> We were in a bar in the Yukon, shooting the pilot... *** IngR (ravary@Ocean.CAM.ORG) has joined #duesouth <haggis> And I'm having a hell of a time with Gordon... *** Ingrid has quit IRC (Ping timeout) <haggis> I'd just done his first scene -- well, his only scene that he plays while actually living and moving and such... <haggis> And he's saying to me "I really enjoyed this". <haggis> So, I say "I'm going to bring you back". <haggis> At which point he falls off the bar stool <haggis> So, I pick him up (ok, so I embelish a little)... *** IngR (ravary@Ocean.CAM.ORG) has joined #duesouth <haggis> And he thinks my recent operation didn't go well, and leaves it at that. <Mir1> HEE!!!!! <haggis> So, a few months later, I decided it was time...Christmas time, to be exact, when we all see ghosts... *** MsFraser has quit IRC (Gone with the "angels".....:)) <haggis> And, as usual, I said to myself "well, if there's one thing that Fraser wishes, what would it be?" *** Serrak (Serrak@poste55-41.ulaval.ca) has left #duesouth <IWAT> that's sweet :) <haggis> And the answer was...he believes he could live up to his father. <haggis> So, I bring back Fraser Sr., just to show him that one should be careful what one wishes. <haggis> Gabs? <gabs> *EileenD* Eileen Dreyer What is the most difficult and the most fun aspects of creating shows like EZ and DS? <haggis> Hearing the characters walk about in my head for the first time. <haggis> gabs? *** ScottC (rscooper@ts49-10.tor.iSTAR.ca) has left #duesouth <gabs> *hollyds* ok Holly Davis here. Do you know if PG DM or other secondary cast seem interested in reprising their roles for a 3rd season of DS <haggis> PG and DM are both thinking about it. They haven't decided. <haggis> But then, I'm not really in the loop. <haggis> Gabs? <gabs> *Stadlers* Jeanne Stadler Are you surprised at the very positive reaction to Due South from countries outside of Canada and the US? <haggis> Surprised? No. Stunned. Did I tell you what happened when PG and I went to England? <IWAT> no, but please do tell us now :) <haggis> Paul and I fly over, just after the first season, for a publicity trip. <haggis> When we land, we get into seperate lines (or "ques", sorry, didn't know who I was speaking to.) *** ScottC (rscooper@ts49-10.tor.iSTAR.ca) has joined #duesouth <haggis> I take out my passport, hand it to the immigration official. *** IWAT is now known as Cath7 <haggis> He opens it, says "Paul Haggis, Due South, love your show." <haggis> I look over to Paul Gross, who is a couple of rows away. *** Cath7 is now known as Cath_ <haggis> His immigration official say to him "You're the Mountie. Love your show. Especially the humourous bits" <haggis> By the time we get our bags, two other officials have come over to tell us how much they love the show. <haggis> And only two episodes have aired at this time. <Mir1> Wow, that's wonderful! <haggis> Gabs? <gabs> *DonnaG* Donna here: When will they rerun the Pilot & first epof EZ?
