When the first season aired there were two different versions - Canadian cut and US cut. The Canadian was about 5 min longer, so they would insert these "filler" scenes like the one where they repeat a bunch of dialogue and have Nick brooding in the loft. Sometimes they shortened the flashbacks such as the one in Last Act where we learn that vampires share each other's memories and feelings by sharing their blood. When FK originally aired the US audience didn't learn about the deep meaning behind blood sharing until Francesca in season 3. Luckily, the dvd sets included the full Canadian cuts except for Dark Knight part 1 which is the CBS version. There was even a European cut of the first few episodes that included nudity, but the actors felt uncomfortable, so they quit filming those after a couple episodes. Just some fun trivia from a diehard fan. 😊

I like the idea that they're immediately accepting of the psychic because in this world there are psychics for whom this is just a mundane profession, just something you go get an AA to learn how to do then get incidental work performing, like a notary.

"Merna or Myra or some old lady name" OKAY MILDRED

The 90's sure did love their psychics and "repressed memories"

the buildup to the "shoulda seen it coming" joke really got me lol

petition to have Mildred do more show deep dives on shows they love!

Sometimes skipping the conflict is so funny and good. Psychic fistbumps the vampire, whats up my sci fi doggie! Love that for them

I love how nearly every flashback seems to be an excuse to get Nick into another kind of wig. I kind of wish the later episodes they run out of more "conventional" ones, leading to the costume department getting creative and we get flashbacks with him wearing wigs like a bright green beehive hairdo, dreadlocks, and pigtails with bright pink bows. I don't even want it to match the setting, so he'll be in Old West times with the beehive, and nobody even comments on it, it's just a thing that is there.

"At least I haven't gone crazy" sounds like something a crazy person would say following a waking hallucination of a vampire.

I am loving Forever Knight-Athon

This one ticks off so many boxes on the old early 90's TV bingo card. I bet there were a ton of ads during this show for 1-900 psychic hotlines. This was the kind of show they would be all over. I also just want to say that the wigs in this show are all so amazing. I can only imagine what their wig budget was.

Ah! I knew that I recognized Geraint Wyn Davies, the star of Forever Knight. He was in the delightful Canadian show _Slings & Arrows,_ which any theater fan should check out.

This video series provides the wind beneath my wings, which gives my heart license to soar. That said, take it easy if you need to, that burn out is fr fr, and we'll wait patiently for episodes well into February anyways.

I woke up at 3am and started thinking about what an immense undertaking the Forever Knight-athon is and how much work went into the writing, filming, and editing and like, I’m just so happy that we get to enjoy it. Thank you Mil-dread.

People really forget how trusted psychics were in the 90s. Like everybody believed in psychics and ghosts for like a whole decade.

notes on kale: - is a highly sprayed vegetable, levels of pesticide are higher so rinse well or buy organic - raw kale has fibrous cell walls that may prevent your body from absorbing nutrients(breaking those cell walls in a smoothie probably works, but wasn't mentioned in articles I read) - cooking reduces antioxidants slightly; steaming is good for digestion and retaining nutrients, or lightly massaging before consumption - watch your intake if you have hypothyroidism, as it can impair iodine absorption and negatively impact metabolism(if your thyroid is ok there's no need to worry about this) - is high in vitamin K, which can impact blood thinning medications if you're eating a lot of kale every day - other leafy vegetables that are as good for you or better than kale: parsley, watercress, collard greens, spinach, chard, Chinese cabbage, romaine or leaf lettuce, beet greens, chicory (aka curly endive or radicchio) I really want a salad now....

Pro tip Mildredd, if youve got room like a windowbox or something get some Kalettte seeds and grow them. Little salad kale leaves that tastre more like fresh spinach.

Really love this Forever Knight binge

So psyched for all these episodes!

Ohmygosh I loved this show so much! I think this was my formative experience in hate-watching. Also I remember describing it at the time to my friends as ' adorably Canadian.' Ohmygosh this is amazing ❤😊❤

Some police departments do have "homicide" detectives investigate lots of serious crimes that are rare enough to not warrant their own department. So in many cities they would send our dynamic duo out for a kidnapping (that's not obvious done by a non-custodial parent, which is most kidnappings). No idea if that's the case in Toronto! Anyway, loving this series!

"He had plenty of room in his fridge" _slayed_ me.

I love Forever Knightathon 🖤

I was always so confused about the psychic lady being afraid of Nick because yeah she knows or highly suspects he's a vampire but clearly he's a good one because you know he's working on the police force but say Nick was evil( even though again he's a police officer) she should try her best to keep calm and not let Nick know that she knows his secret lol

Psychics in TV and movies are kinda given the inverse treatment to ghosts. In TV and movies if a chair moves across the floor on its own, everyone refuses to accept it and blames "the wind." In real life, if there's an innocuous bump heard from another room, everyone immediately defaults to "its absolutely ghosts."

I loved his vampire reveal

Loving the marathon so much!

I love that intro music

Running LaCroix ratio: 2:6 Running Nicks Dead Girlfriend ratio: 6:6 (I can stop doing these counts if its annoying and will simplify the ratios at the end if each season)

I would have watched the heck out of this if I had known of it or if it had been available in the US. I can watch it now and you help me to enjoy it so much more. These videos are hilarious.

I didn't know jazzercise existed until now. This show is really an encyclopedia of the nineties huh

Good video!! I would have the argument, that in the beginning seasons, that Schanke is always right.

I have never been more in love with your channel

I've never understood why TV shows take time to shit on tofu or meatloaf. Not hard to make either taste awesome.

Fun Kale Fact: the number one purchaser of Kale before it was hailed as a superfood was Pizza Hut. They used it to decorate their salad bars. If you are time traveling to the 90s to grab a CRT and the VHS copies of Forever Knight, but you want to eat healthy, hit up a Pizza Hut with a salad bar and freak people out. Maybe steal a plastic cup or two. From the back. And one of those amazing chandeliers - they're just gonna tear them out when they shut down the Huts, just steal it right before one is gonna shut down. You know I'm right, time travel is all about selling stuff from the past so that you have enough gold bullion to get money from 1885 before you defeat Biff Tannen at high noon with a trick from a western. That's just time travel 101.

Okay, the wig joke was funny enough that I had to pause the video.

i love this series

This is why we don't have psychics anymore, police work has made them endangered.

"Homicide detectives don't work on kidnappings." I just heard commentary on a Columbo episode that said the same thing. But who does work kidnapping? I've never heard of a police force large enough to have a special kidnapping department.

The greatest show

Dying to make vampires sad is humanity's lot...

I love your glasses!

Mildo, Mildo... this marathon cannot be sustained on kale salads, that's just as irresponsible as Nick's "ghast-lighting"

Lol, the vampo reveal was very goofy.

JUSTICE FOR LACROIX

You are amazing and good!

Take it easy Schanke 🎶 Seriously though, loving every minute of this! ❤ Who woulda thought the show with a cop protagonist would be superior to Angel? Okay, like almost as good as Angel. Maybe.

I lost it at the trauma of the wig.

HOLY HEMOGLOBIN! ANOTHER SCAREDY CATS VIDEO? THAT MUST BE FIVE IN A ROW! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING! SOMEONE EXPLAIN IT TO ME IN THE COMMENTS, INCREASING ENGAGEMENT ON THE VIDEO AND POTENTIALLY SPREADING IT TO A WIDER AUDIENCE!

Better to have loved and cremated then never to have...wait, do you suppose it's his fault with the vampire curseyness? Maybe Nick at Night here was walking around just collecting up the curses long before the vampire curse done bit him huh? Nick at night has gots to do something about his whammies 'cause they're pulling down collateral damage now and that's no good

The paranormal resonance and spiritual power of the jazzercise exercise routines should never be underestimated. If Sauron has practiced jazzercise exercise then there would have been no hope for Middle Earth. None. It all would have just been one movie, just Sauron's triumph and lasting only 35 minutes long! There would not even be 2 other movies! There would not have been even a single Hobbit movie...hey...hmmmm...nah, it would have spelled jazzerpocalyptic doom for Middle Earth!

I love how Nick’s go-to mourning behavior is halfheartedly playing one-sided chess on his concrete floor while wearing a silk robe.

I can't remember if I've said this yet but I went to classes with a psychic in a group for almost a year and she did, indeed, get most of her work from the police department. They did not want people to know that, it could probably mess up a case, but they used her to get an idea of who did it or didn't do it and I guess it worked? I remember being skeptical at the time but I've done well a few times with 'remote viewing' and that convinced me, I don't expect it to convince anyone else, also most psychics are frauds. Bummer.

You should make a smoothie with kale. Goes down easy, throw some pineapple in there and you are good to go! Also I laughed too hard at your obvious joke. I am just oblivious....lol

So about Schanke and eating food that doesn't taste good. I think he is most likely being a bit of a coddled baby, but: A KZfaq dietician I trust keeps repeating over and over that its important to eat stuff that tastes good when you're cooking for yourself - the most common scenario when you don't is that you start avoiding cooking and eating until you gorge out on something really unhealthy that does taste good. So balance is important. There's also an honest to dog eating disorder where people need to very strictly observe heqlthy diets to the point that something that doesn't meet their unreasonably high standards makes them sick in psychosomatic ways. (This is distinct from genuine food sensitivities where you mostly just need to avoid some ingredients and stuff derived from them.) Anyway, hope Mildo (and anyone reading this) is not skewing too far to any dietary extreme.

7:14 I have to disagree, tofu at its worst tastes like when my dentist puts his rubber gloves in my mouth. It takes a surprising amount of seasoning to cover that up sometimes. If you go too light, the underlying aroma of sad rubbery blandness will come through as you chew on it.

How much is the “always sing your name like a jingle” Patreon tier that 🎵 Spoo-ky Hea-ther Sil-vi-a signed up for?

This reminds me of a show that was specifically about a psychic lady. I don't remember what it was called. There was this lady working with a sceptical cop solving crimes together. It started interesting but quickly soured for me because it had an anti-abortion episode (boohoo! Spooky "baby" haunting its not mother). Also the psychic dies at the end and manages to get the cop to believe in ghosts "from the other side". It's really dumb

"I'm gonna make the really obvious joke now" me: hahaha eat the rich! right? "Shoulda seen that one coming." Me: oh... yeah that is more accurate to the scene isn't it.

6:46 Nothing's low-fat. That's why the world will explode one day.

Vitamin K, also known as 'Vitamin YucK'

Is kale salad that good for you? I’d google it, but ya boy trying to drive engagement

Six episodes in I'm starting to think this might have been on a European tv network once (British? German?), because I vaguely remember watching this as a kid. i'm having just too many deja-vu's for it to be coincidental. Enjoying the Knight-athon but it's also kinda weird man.

IDK Mildred, kale is the best leaf...

Most psychics can not see the future, its tough. But you can be psychic in other ways. Most people who can do that can't really control it that well. Everything is in pictures, its all subconscious.

so much content so fast it's crazy ._. You ok bud

Will you do season 2 and 3? 🤞🤞🤞

You had me up until kale. I love you regardless

I can't help but wonder if this show was made as an effect of the Beauty and the Beast tv show.

God I hate kale so much. There are so many better vegetables.

Speaking of things that shouldn't be happening by episode effing 6: so much algorithming. Like I get the show has a death theme on account of the vampires and homocide department, but from this review it also doesn't seem to be the most serious show. Did people find algorithming "funny"? Or am I missing something here?

still really happy with your FK-athon, thanks! @ScaredyCatsTV have you seen the Canadian sci-fi series The Starlost? it's insane and i wish someone would remake it properly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlost
