Modern day pathetic reality show vs. A timeless masterpiece like "Northern Exposure " ? Oh man.. Did I just compare those 2 in the same sentence??? My bad. Well seeing as how there is nothing worthwhile on to watch I guess I'll see if "Bristol Palin's" reality show will be airing anytime soon..Because yah, thats worth watching right ? Nothing will ever beat the atmosphere or the lessons learned better then that of Cicely Alaska!
One of the best if not the best series ever produced on Television. TV today makes ya' sick compared to what once was. Northern Exposure when you watched it had the capability of making you think that by the time you got to episodes end that you walked away from the show having had learned something. I think alot of people got alot out of the show and no show has been comparable since. Other then then Northern Lights sequence that was one of my favorite scenes! Northern Exposure lives on!
@Somethinzfishy You are right. I learned a lot about the world from watching Norther Exposure. Lots of little things and big ideas as well. It helped me form my political ideas for one, and I learned what C.V. meant in episode 3.1 from Adam. I think it was that episode where he mentioned it.
This show should be taught as the gold standard at every film school in the country.
Best series that will ever exist!!! One day I'll save up to buy all seasons on dvd. I know the music is changed on some of them, so thank goodness I can convert the scenes with the original songs from my old vhs tapes to dvd. It's a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL series. I pity anyone that doesn't watch this work or art.
I'm only 18 so I was never able to watch this series on tv. A few months ago I bought the first two seasons because it was only $18 at Amoeba records, I was hooked immediately and I'm going to go buy the sixth season today to complete my collection and find out how this show ends
John Cullum's soliliquy, to me anyway, is the definition of real manhood. That with Enya playing in the background and the whole "journey" theme made this episode my favorite of my favorite series of all time.
why was this show taken off the air. i did not watch consistenlty but now i do on re-runs. When i hear the theme reminds me of my 20's. A+ show i must say
Because people became stupid, and reality television is easier to consume. This show would never get on the air today - when 9 year olds know what Paris Hilton's Vagina looks like, do you honestly think they'd have the attention span for a show like this?
what a show , the best of all times, lucky us who lived at the right time to see it ,mozart would have loved this show. And that Jenine Turner can sit on my face any day.
I agree with the comments about about there being no current TV shows that compare with the magic and sheer beauty of Northern Exposure....its messages of hope and redemption...there are no mass media out there that cares about such matters its alll geared up for doom and gloom with celebrity being the aspiration of a high % of school children.....what a legacy ....Northern Exposure is like Vincent too beautiful for this world....
its a Enya song dunno the track name

I feel sorry for this new generation. There is nothing on television right now that is even half as deep or poetic.

This show is like poerty on video! The beauty of Alaska, how it brings out the ost human qulaities of the people there.
Nothing like it. And to use this Enya tune to highlight it --- brilliant.
