	Wojeck
		Wojeck was a kind of "edutainment," since viewers were supposed to absorb some sort of moral lesson about the country's social ills while enjoying their hour of diversion.
		Wojeck featured a strong male lead, Dr. Steve Wojeck, superbly played by John Vernon, who was backed up by a "team" that included his wife (the understanding helpmate), an assistant (efficient but unobtrusive), and a sometimes reluctant crown attorney (the well-meaning bureaucrat).
		Wojeck was the engaged liberal: an advocate for the powerless committed to reforming the practices of the system so that it ensured justice for all.

	Wojeck
		A to Z of TV Wojeck is perhaps best remembered as the show that changed the face of Canadian television drama.
		Wojeck was based on the exploits of real life Toronto coroner Dr. Morton Shulman and starred John Vernon as Dr. Steve Wojeck.
		Wojeck investigates the death by caisson disease of an Italian worker, who had been working on the construction of underground tunnel.

	Wojeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although it was one of the highest-rated shows on Canadian television in its time, only 20 episodes of the series were made, because Vernon was lured to Hollywood by the promise of more money than the CBC could offer.
		He only returned to the role once, for a TV-movie Wojeck: Out of the Fire (1992).
		In 2002, Wojeck became a MasterWorks honouree by the Audio-Visual Preservation Trust of Canada.

	"Wojeck" (1966) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I rarely watched this series as a kid because to me the name "Wojeck" had a particularly sinister ring to it.
		Of course, I should have realized by the show's occasional set of bare breasts that Wojeck was not a program created for kids, but for adults.
		The later American series Quincy seemed to be a complete ripoff of Wojeck, but didn't come close to approaching it as a work of cinematic art.

	Wojeck TV Show - Wojeck Television Show - TV.com
		Wojeck premiered as an episode of Bob Hope Presents The Chrysler Theatre in the episode Tell Them The Streets are Dancing.
		Based on the exploits of real-life Toronto coronor Dr. Morton Shulman, Dr. Steve Wojeck was a medical examiner and tireless crusader against drug abuse, elderly abuse, police abuse, auto safety, Indian abuse, industrial abuse, etc. In short, a Canadian version of Quincy, M.E. that predated that show by a decade.
		This anthology series was a mixed bag of drama, variety and event specials, involving Bob Hope as either host or starring in several of episodes.

	CBC Television Series 1952 to 1982, Woj-Wre
		Wojeck, created by Phillip Hersch, was inspired by the headlines that Dr. Morton Shulman made as Toronto's chief coroner.
		He regularly questioned the decisions he had to make and, though he was in some senses a typical hero and paragon of virtue, he was invested with a greater vulnerability and depth, and differed from the standard television hero.
		The other regulars on the series were Ted Follows as Crown Attorney Arnie Bateman, Patricia Collins as Wojeck's wife, Marty, and Carl Banas as Detective Sergeant Byron James, with occasional appearances by Jamey Weyman and Tanis Montgomery as Stevey and Judy, the Wojecks' son and daughter.

	Quentin Durgens, M.P.
		And like Wojeck, Durgens has been hailed as an example of Canadian television, distinct and set apart from Hollywood drama.
		With fewer funds and resources than Wojeck it had to be videotaped (on location and in the studio) for its first two seasons.
		Despite the increased support in its third season (after the end of Wojeck) when all 17 episodes were filmed and in colour, it failed to hold the large audiences which Wojeck had won for the evening.

		Still, on a technical level (the nuanced performances from the leads, the artful dialogue, and the thoughtful direction) this remains one of the best made TV movies ever produced in Canada.

		While Vernon may be best remembered as Dean Wormer in 1978's "Animal House" (he put Delta House on double secret probation), it was as coroner Steve Wojeck on the groundbreaking 1960s Canadian TV series "Wojeck" that he first made his name.
		He became known for playing villains, sinister officials and unsympathetic authority figures in over 200 TV and film roles, in such films as "The Outlaw Josey Wales," "Dirty Harry," "Point Blank," "Airplane II" and "Topaz," one of the last movies made by Alfred Hitchcock.
		Vernon's breakthrough role was as Wojeck in the 1960s Canadian Broadcasting Corporation drama inspired by the exploits of Toronto coroner Dr. Morton Shulman, investigating deaths caused by slack safety regulations, castigating government incompetence, and dealing with such issues as abortion and lesbianism.

		He was a bad guy who got tossed out a window to his death by the even badder Lee Marvin in Point Blank.
		But he started out the hero in Wojeck in which his character was based on real-life coroner and politician Dr. Morton Shulman and formed the template for future crime series formats, from Quincy to Da Vinci's Inquest to CSI.
		He was seen most recently on the "double secret probation" DVD edition of Animal House, in a feature that offered a tongue-in-cheek look at the characters of the 1978 film as they were today.
