Episode Guide ~ Season 6
Note 1 : The first date is the CBC air date; the second date is the Alibi air date. If season 5 is any indication then CBC will feel free to show the episodes in any damn sequence they fancy while Alibi will show them as they should be. As such this list is subject to revision until Alibi's showing in February.
Note 2: While this season will be shown in the UK after Canada (finally!) it is also the earliest a season has premiered in the UK, beating season 2's 10 February start by 6 days.
Note 3: Contrary to the assertions on Wikipedia Miss Georgina Reilly, who portrays Doctor Emily Grace, has not been promoted to series regular or starring role for this season and her name does not appear in the opening credits with the four stars of the show. While CBC has listed her character as one of the main in the show the same was said of Paul Rhys and Citytv's website when he was the coroner at the start of season 4. Neither Georgina Reilly nor Paul Rhys were added to the opening credits but rather both were given the top billed guest star spot. While such could be seen as "also starring" such would be assumption as whomever occupies that spot is never noted as anything more than just their name.
"Maybe, just maybe, CBC will do something radical with Murdoch, such as (and I'm just spit-balling here) promoting the bloody thing?" - FrankLee MeiDere, November 2011
