with the recent death of the shows theme-song singer jack jones, i thought id give this a rewatch having not seen it since it aired..

i found it more entertaining than i expected.. at least so far. im not sure how it made it to 10 seasons, but some highlights ive noted...

• cast is introduced as crew, and not even by character name except julie

• at least 3 or 4 celebrity appearances every episode! its kinda neat seeing all these old stars out of their element in small vignettes. seriously every star you can think of of this era seems to have popped on.

• the ship is so freakin tiny. you have to think there are mega-yachts bigger these days

• writing can be funny. the relationship 'advice' is somewhat dated, but not inappropriate at times. 'family ties' mom (MBB) is in a centerfold the first episode!

so far it could have been titled 'the apology boat' due to the wraps ups of most stories almost completely entail confession and apology.

The 23-year-old said she was in the 'worst pain she'd ever felt'.

i get stuck on food items. anyone else afflicted?

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.

its so ubiquitous it feels like it was a requirement..

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump promises the biggest deportation event the U.S. has ever seen if he is elected.

lets discuss the data!
