Damn this was a good show...

I never really watched it when it was on primetime and actually running up to date episodes.

Then I started watching the replays during the day at 2pm and realised sh8t!! this was a pretty good show!!

It's a shame it was cancelled - Australia needs to create more quality television like this instead of putting on all those cop shows (ironic I know) like CSI, CSI: Miami, Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, Cold Case, Criminal Mids etc etc.

I would rather see quality Aussie T.V like this over the same recycled material over and over again...

Some of the cop shows we have are good, such as Criminal Minds and both Law & Order's. But none of them match up to our own. I think cancelling the show was a bad choice.

Stingers was also an awesome cop show I'm Melburnian and I loved seeing all the places they filmed at because you sort of notice oh hey I've been past there you know what I mean. Also what an honour for the show and the cast (Blue Heelers) to be able to actually wear the REAL Victoria Police Uniforms, because if you watch other films and television shows the Vic Police uniforms are fakes with Police Force written on the shoulder patch instead of Victoria Police.

I can remember watching BH when I was only 6 and I loved it. I kind of lay off it for a while and then started watching it again during the 10th or 11th season. Why can't channel seven kill of Home and Away or Comedy Classics or some other *beep* show and bring Blue Heelers BACK!

It was good in it's early years but when the entire cast just about left and started to run out of ideas and bring family members into every story and have Tom talking to his wife ghost it really jumped the shark towards the end

it was awesome up until Nick left started to go downhill then when mnaggie died really went down

i wish channel 7 would start repeating it again and make sure they update it so there's no black sides when it's on tv.
