On this day, January 7, 1989, Bordertown premiered on The Family Channel. Set in the 1880s, this Western drama explored life in a small town situated on the border between the United States and Canada. The series followed the lives of its diverse residents, including a Canadian Mountie, a U.S. Marshal, and a female doctor, as they navigated the challenges of law, order, and coexistence.

Running for three seasons with 78 episodes, Bordertown was praised for its historical themes and well-developed characters. The show offered a unique perspective on cross-border cooperation and the blending of cultures in a frontier setting.

Fun Fact: Bordertown was filmed in Canada and became a favorite among fans of Western dramas, thanks to its mix of action, historical context, and compelling storylines.
