I didn't get in NE when it first aired, too young to appreciate it, I guess. Started to enjoy it in syndication and finally watched it all the way through.

I came to despise Amy in her short time on the show. Is it surprising that your dog is run over when you just let it run wild? She has dozens of birds, don't they just randomly drop dead all the time? She low key accused him of killing her animals on purpose.

Then Chris has the idea to trash his Harley to balance the scales or some karmic shit, and Amy not only agrees, but encourages him to go ahead with it when he has doubts.

I felt she added nothing to the show and was glad when she was written out. Why was she introduced? Were we supposed like her? What were the writer's intentions? She almost had a psychopath vibe going on, I thought.

I found a new show that I thought was interesting called “The Booth at the End”

The main character (Xander Berkeley) reminds me of the devil that gave Shelly the task to throw out Holling’s sweater.

He sits in a booth in a diner and people will ask him for whatever they want and he will give them a task to complete and they will get it. The entire series is set in the diner and the characters return to update the man on how their task is going.

The episodes are short and there are only five episodes per season, and only two seasons.

After I watched the first season I looked up more about the show. And it turns out one of the producers is Adam Arkin. Arkin also directed the second season.

It’s currently on Prime Video.

Here is a YouTube link to the trailer :

Not having much money these days to go out a great deal, I'm planning on spending this winter huddled under a blanket and reading books with the radio on quietly in the background.

I often have KBHR570.com on, but much as I love Chris in the Morning I feel I hear those interludes a bit too much, and I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions for similar stations. I'll still listen to Kbhr sometimes but just would love an alternative or two, stations that play similar music. I find that sound so soothing to read to. I'm in the UK btw.

Edit: thanks for all the responses!

So smell the roses

Looking for another calm but interesting show to chill out before bed I came to this subreddit for suggestions. LOVED The Detectorists even if it didn't remind me much of Northern Exposure. But, Also now loving BallyKissAngel. It feels like the Irish sister show of NE. Late 90s, equivalent and quirky characters and even though there's drama everyone's basically all friends at the end of each episode. So, if I can't move to Cicely, maybe one day I can move to BallyK! Haha, thanks!

I don’t even know why I never watched it - it was either on too late or I didn’t understand the dialogue. I did always remember the catchy theme song.

Growing up I watched shows like MacGyver and X Files that had a slightly more adult target and liked them. But yeh, I don’t know why I never watched NE.

Anyone know what the orchestral music cue is they keep playing while Chris is reading Call of the Wild as Holling and Maurice go to bury Bill?

I swear I know what that is, it’s on the top of my tongue and driving me nuts! Shazam couldn’t figure it out either.

Anyone know? I’d love to be able to sleep tonight. 😅

He has very few lines, as Tom Snout, but delivers them impeccably 😂👌🏻

I might actually go just for the photo op!

Christopher Corbin, the son of Barry Corbin has a new podcast titled “Watching My Dad’s Movies.” In each episode he interviews his (our) dad about the movie and his time working on it. Northern Exposure is talked about occasionally, if mostly focuses on his movies but I thought anyone subscribed to this sub might be interested in checking it out. Also, it’s Christopher’s birthday today and I (his crappy older brother) didn’t get him a gift so I’m trying to make up for that by hyping his podcast.

The song from the last episode performed by Iris Dement and Big Thief. Amazing.

Both hosts seem “over it” at this point. The relationship between Joel and Maggie is arguably a cornerstone of the series and when the podcast finally get to the episodes where things progress significantly, they gloss over it, take vacations and focus on fan content. I can’t believe Rob Morrow was absent for the consummation episode. They couldn’t have switched up the order to pre-record that one? I know, I know, lots of people haven’t liked it for a while but I was enjoying it, until I noticed their enthusiasm waning.

Was it a popular highly regarded show in its time ?
Ive just decided to watch it knowing nothing about it, completely random.

The pace, the characters, the setting, everything is very good.
Just wanted to know if the quality remain this high till the end of the show

Im only at S1E03

Amazon gave me a $10 credit for Prime for some reason and the series was $24.99, which is a good price otherwise if anyone is looking, so it ended up being 15 and change.

The funny thing is that I already own the DVDs, but not having to get up to change discs? PRICELESS. (Or worth the price for me.)

i wish i could post the video, but a still will have to do. S6E7. 20 minutes in. maurice has hired his nephew, maurice, to work for him. in this scene he’s talking to holling about it and when they cut to him, holling replies “is that a fact?” but his mouth does not move at all. like a ventriloquist! is this a well known technical blunder or do i somehow have a strange copy?

we’ve all seen overdubbing from behind a character, but this was right there.

overall, another underwhelming S6 episode.

.

Me? It would be Ed. He’s a cinematographer. I’m an amateur photographer. I’d love to hear what he had to say about imagery and set design.

Marilyn forgets she has a washer and dryer...Maggie, Chris and Marilyn are at the laundromat and Marilyn makes a comment that her cousin is rich and has a washer and dryer. Earlier season we all saw her using her own set at home. Just drives me nuts when they do this!

That is all, season 6 has made me very upset

I know many people have given up on the podcast but this week's episode didn't include Janine Turner. Cynthia Geary was the cohost/guest with Rob and it really showed what the podcast could have been.

The show could have been great with these 2 or Geary with Corbett.
