Northern Exposure
I don't know how many people were a fan of this series. I think it was one of the best tv series of the 90's.
Anyway, just received notification from Amazon that Universal Studios is finally releasing the first season on DVD. It'll be in stores May 25th. Can't wait to get back to Cicely. Quote:

Yeah, the last season was a nightmare. But it doesn't get any better than the first 2-3 seasons.
Had a bunch of great characters. Remember Alan Arkin as Adam, the gourmet bigfoot. Or Anthony Edwards as the hyper-allergic lawyer?

I enjoyed it for a few seasons.
It reminded me of Green Acres too much, though. Lead straight-man character + wacky, quirky characters. You wanted him to just grab one of 'em at least once and shake 'em like an earthquake! Either series.

I loved the show. I cant wait to get it on dvd I was hoping they would release it.
I think my favorite show of all times was the one where Maggie was engaged to a guy and he was out in the forest somewhere and struck by a satilite. They had the funeral for the guy and everyone was laughing as they were carrying the casket down the isle cause they just built the casket around the body...lol

I was trying to think of great moments on Northern Exposure, and there were a lot. But sometimes it was just the little bits of dialog that were brilliant -- stuff you didn't hear elsewhere on TV, because they were afraid Joe Average wouldn't get it.
NE started to get in a rut after season 3 and eventually went downhill in my opinion, but that doesn't take away from all the times that it was amazing. |

Possibly my favorite show of all time. And yeah, it did start to go downhill toward the end, but you could feel everyone involved trying to hold it together....
One of the great things about the DVD era is that now you can get complete runs of a TV series in one convenient little package. My old VHS cassettes are trembling in their bulky plastic housings. |
