Premise

Karl Ritter (Hans Caninenberg) is an aging pilot whose licence was revoked after failing to complete a medical test. He employs Kate Ashcroft (Susan Hogan) to fly his aircraft, in order to continue his transport company. Episodes highlighted the gender and generation gaps between Ritter and Ashcroft. Other primary series characters included Robert (Dale Walters) and Arnie (Craig Kelly).[1]

Ritter's Cove was cancelled after one season. It was once considered to be a potential replacement for The Beachcombers, a CBC Television adventure series which ran from 1972 to 1990.

In Canada, this half-hour series was originally broadcast on CBC Fridays at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern time) from 19 September 1980 to 20 March 1981. Its only season was rebroadcast on CBC Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. from 14 October 1981 to 31 March 1982.

gollark: i.e. what device, what programming language, what software stack.
gollark: From what?
gollark: Oh, those work fine, sure.
gollark: There was also a project for patching firmware for the built-in WiFi chipset of said other thing to allow monitor mode stuff. Unfortunately, this shipped with its own several year outdated gcc binaries and plugin for incomprehensible reasons?
