what an amazing dramedy.

especially the first several seasons. so many wonderful characters, it really has something for everyone.

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.

Ahhhh, I'm always excited when someone else mentions Northern Exposure! Sometimes it's felt like enough people haven't known what I was talking about, if I couldn't pull up the IMDb, I'd think it was some kind of Mandela effect of memories. One of the most fantastic themes, too -- like the coziest aspects of the 90s made audible. Time for a re-watch, it's been a long time.

Yes, I love this show and was just thinking about it yesterday.

I think about it a lot, and actually went to live in Alaska for a few months in no small part because of that show.

I often think of setting up a little TV in my room that just has Northern exposure on it and you can just click start and then a random episode of Northern exposure will start on.

I'm probably going to do this at some point.

It's the perfect TV show for just a glimpse of a very unique perspective and culture.

so many of the plot lines are unique within the realm of television, too.

Great to hear someone bringing it up.

It holds up so well that I barely even thought about the era until Joel shows up on the street in NYC.
