Northern eXposure - Adam, the Gatekeeper's Riddle

[bornbillsmith]

I thought it was a great show but I don't understand when people make comments like is the best show ever and they don't make shows llike this anymore.

I got news for you.

THERE ARE ALOT OF GOOD SHOWS AND THEY AREN'T ALL from the past...

I lliked The West Wing. Cheers,Ungly Betty,Life on Mars and Lost to name a few from the past,

I like Bones, The Mentalist,Fringe, House and even Glee.

@bornbillsmith ... really??? you're comparing Northern Exposure to Glee and "Ungly Betty"???? I guess that's why you don't understand when people say they don't MAKE shows like this anymore.

[bornbillsmith]

@bornbillsmith I liked them.

I could also add Hill Street Blues, Saint Elsewhere My so Called Life and Boston Public.

These were great shows in my opinion.

Have you seen Fring.or the Mentalist.

Are you going to tell me these six shows weren't great.

Gustav... love it!!! Adam heavy sarcasm is perfect... such depth and substance... rich with metaphor and meaning... todays TV has regressed into such stupidly... but NX illustrates the potential for TV ability to express awe and moving prose... not all is lost... like a alcoholic who has destroyed his life... TV can come from from its proverbial gutter...

Love Joel! (no news!) Thanks!

Joel looked so foxy with a beard and long hair. But then again I always had such a crush on him.

"You don't". Love how Joel just knew the answer!

Love the show. Love this scene!!

the best show ever

Such an amazing show.

I was a kid when it was on TV, but even then as a child I knew I was watching something very special.

The shit on television today couldn't hold a candle to this type of writing.

No wonder that this show was such a great success.

Very good actors, meaningful dialogs and stories.
