Forever Knight is partly cop show, and partly costume historical drama. Thought dead by the Toronto coroner, he is helped by her to try to regain his humanity. Working against this goal is LaCroix, the vampire who brought him across, as well as Janette, the other vampire in his centuries long family.

I loved this show so much that I actually wrote a spec script while it was still on the air. An agent friend got permission from my agent to represent it and mailed it on a Tuesday and got called by James Parriott, the creator and exec producer, that Thursday. But they needed a Canadian writer. Sigh. Oh, but it was exciting while it lasted.

Knight was actually a less impressive character than either LaCroix or Janette.

The former, as a late night radio one man talk show, would have really appealed to the late night audience even more than Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. During those long, Canadian winters I can imagine him having a totally adoring fan base for his eclectic philosophical ramblings.

Janette, on the other hand, as a nightclub owner, had a great combination of hot, seductive, and menacing. She really liked being who she was. Between the two, the series was filled with ‘color’.
