Beachcombers	comment	The Beachcombers was an iconic Canadian television dramedy that featured a multicultural cast in the real-life town of Gibsons, B.C. The cast centered around Greek immigrant Nick Adonidas and his log salvage company with his partner, Jesse Jim. His rival and source of much aggravation in the community was scruffy curmudgeon Relic.The show was one of the longest running dramatic series on Canadian television, with 387 episodes and 19 seasons spanning from 1972 to 1990, followed by a couple of reunion TV movies in the early 2000s. The series title was shortened to simply Beachcombers for its final year and for two seasons the capitalization was altered to be The Beach Combers.The show aired in the United States on Famliy Net on weekday afternoons starting September 1, 2011, but was removed from the line-up after September 28, 2012 due to the network falling into new ownership that felt the show did not fit in with the new rural-themed direction they wanted the station to go and replaced it with Highway to Heaven reruns.

Beachcombers / int_7b21ef92	comment	Later-Installment Weirdness: With emphasis on "weird". The final season has a few episodes that dip into the supernatural, a topic that was not present in the rest of the show.
