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.
I loved that show took a trip to the town they filmed it. when i lived in Washington.
it even holds up well. the remoteness denotes a lack of tech that isnt too far out of place today.
It holds up so well that I barely even thought about the era until Joel shows up on the street in NYC.
