Northern Exposure played a small role in saving my extremely unhappy life. My parents basically forced me to go to law school. A few weeks into classes, I found Northern Exposure. It was buried in a group of random channel and deep into syndication. The show made me feel just a little less depressed and I looked forward to watching it each day. I felt a lot like Joel...unhappy and out of place. I'm rewatching the show on Amazon and, IMO, it's as good as it was two decades ago. I hope the other remaining cast members, who are still with us, are doing well.

I just watched the entire show for the first time. It didn't age, it ripened. I had moved to New Zealand in 1988, so I didn't get to see the show in the first run, but I had heard about it from my best friend and my mother, who both loved it. I now live at 63N latitude (and not completely because I wanted to.. hence the 'accidental' part) so the references and frustrations of Joel is both annoying and relatable. I need to write the book. I really need to write my book.

I remember watching this show after I worked an 18-hour day and I needed to relax. I was never a big TV guy but I liked the show. The funniest thing I had ever seen was when O'Connell's boyfriend (I think his name was Rick) was taken out by a satellite. when they had the funeral the casket was built around the satellite because he was apparently merged with it. That was the funniest thing I had seen since the Monty Python movies. The look on all the different characters faces when the casket came into the Church was hilarious.😂😂 I miss the show... I wish they would do a reboot and bring the characters back for another series.

1 thing I’d like to ask this group is “why the heck was Maurice Minnefield always so angry?!” I felt like telling him to get a grip & look at himself in the mirror! Coming across as a “Controlling Hothead!” I grew to dislike Minnefield & noticed myself saying “aw zip it Minnefield!” (Now remember… this is about the character) not the actual person. Otherwise this was a really interesting series.

Of course I had a crush on Maggie O'Connell. This doesn't really make sense, but Maggie came across the way that I imaged Natalie Merchant might be like based on having only heard her voice.

As Ive reflected, it I ventire this show has everything I could possibly want in a show, and that is was complete fulfillment of its own potential. However, the one thing it doesn't have, is the hip factor that say, Twin Peaks, has/had. Obviously having an 'auteur' attached to Peaks makes it easier to keep in a certain segment of publics consciousness. Northern Exposure just doesnt have that. Its probably one of the best productions of corporate TV. Its goes well beyond what could have been expected, but it might be too "wholesome" for its own good. But being on streaming services now, it great to see it getting another wind. - one last thing though, that didn't help was that theast season, season 6, was a weak way, a soft, maybe even ineffective, way to end the journey. I'd love to entertain an 7th season......

Truly one of the great TV shows to stand out from the multitude. Amazing to see this dialogue with thw actors. For me, I remember watching sporadic episodes, we were not a TV Guide household, and liking them, and they made an impression, I liked the stories, and the characters, and the setting, etc. All the things we loved about the show. I've been collecting DVDs and a few years ago I found the entire 6 seasons in the used bins for $1 each. Based on my memory of a few episodes from 30 years ago, I figured I'd spend the $6. Wow. I sat down with Season 1 and couldnt put em down until the end of the last episode (might have taken a month). Great great show. I should just pin this in my forehead as I go about in response to the inanity of the world we find ourselves today. Talk to the hand? Ok. Talk to the moose. Better.

I live a couple hrs. south of the filming location in Washington. My wife and I stopped in a couple years ago and had lunch at the Roslyn cafe. It re-kindled all the good memories of watching those first episodes. We are re-watching the the entire series. So much richer all these years later. We will return to "Sicily" Alaska again this summer and stop in at the Brick. We will wander the streets and say hello to the characters that we came to love. I think the over powering feeling I get from the show is acceptance of each person for who they are and a group of people striving, in their own imperfect way, for the common good. I grew up in towns or 350 population and 1400 population in rural Eastern Oregon. This show perfectly captured the spirit of a small town community. Thank you to the cast members for taking time to do this interview. Just a wonderful way to spend an hour.

I agree. This show had such great characters and allowed for growth of background characters into central characters as well. It eventually seemed that at any time, a character that had been on the periphery might become an episode where they had the lead. Twin Peaks, the obvious sister show, may have more hip cultural cache, but Northern Exposure earned a great deal of value on its own.

My mother adored this show. Vaguely recalled watching it with her as a kid, something we always wanted to stream as the age of streaming came on, it was always the biggest absence. Cancer took her, quickly, just before the show appeared on Amazon. Stunning how much this show shaped me even as a child watching in retrospect. Blown away by the show, saw a clip of this somewhere and spent some time looking for it in full-thank you so much.

The weirdness factor was a function of the great writing. Every episode had at least two-subplots and I was totally zeroed in. It was in the 6th season (?) that the sputtering started. Iris De Ment made the final episode. Great series overall; the all-star cast deserved another year, at least.
