Wojeck is a Canadian dramatic television series, which aired on CBC Television from 1966 to 1968. It was arguably the first successful drama series on English Canadian television, and was the first TV series anywhere to regularly feature and focus on forensic pathology in the investigation of crime. Consequently, Wojeck has been hailed as an early forerunner of several successful shows that later explored the same genre, including The Expert (1968-76), Quincy, M.E. (1976-83), CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000-15), and Bones (2005-2017), among many others.
The de facto pilot for the show, produced in Canada by the CBC and featuring the entire cast of the series, aired as an episode of Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre titled "Tell Them the Streets Are Dancing" (broadcast March 17, 1966).[1]
