buttery voiced john corbetts seamless radio-narration and its philosophical bent fits right in with a town full of quirky personalities. the indigenous population playing a wonderful straight-man to the town.

it even holds up well. the remoteness denotes a lack of tech that isnt too far out of place today.

this is one of those shows where you just want to be a part of it.

it could also never be replicated/rebooted successfully... lighting striking twice and all that.

anyone else have such fond memories of northern exposure? im about to start my per-decade rewatch.

Thank you for posting here!

It's the first time I hear about this show, I might give it a try!

You want to get the EU version or pirate. The US version doesn't have the original music because of licensing.

please do! its very unique. fully released on dvd, so its readily available on the seas.

it kinda falls apart in the last season as they often do, but id be lying if said i was not in love with that fictitious little town of cicely.

rob morrow, the main character is supposed to be the analog for us, the audience... a fish-out-of-water. I find him so annoying though that i seem drawn to the local alaskan natives for that purpose.
