remembering Northern Exposure (moist.catsweat.com)

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.

yeah morrow played the doctor as an insufferable jerk. and also with maurice... too hard edged, but i think they needed to generate some of those personalities as an antagonist to the tranquil setting. it could have been done better.. more subtle.
