Northern Exposure: Season 1 [DVD]

The only official DVD release in the US which still includes the original music soundtrack. It's a brilliant show which is still finding its way in this first season but unlike nearly every other great show the first season still holds up. It's all in there.The DVD is great and includes bloopers and outtakes.Highly recommended.

This season of Northern Exposure is not the best, but a good start to an ultimately great series.BUYER BEWARE: When I ordered this from Amazon, all I received was the case. There was no DVD inside.

What a great show! We are going to Alaska and remembered this series. Now I know what to espect...haha. A charming series with the original charming music!!Prompt delivery, perfect condition!

I enjoyed this sitcom years ago and have been waiting for it to show up on Netflix or Amazon Prime but after reading several blogs about the series it seems, for some reason, that it unlikely to happen. So I have been purchasing the DVD’s through Amazon. The stories and characters are amazing and can still make me laugh!

I discovered this series when a friend recently lent season one to me. I have since purchased all seasons. I ration one episode per day and am just starting into season five. Best parts are the characters/actors, writing (drama/comedy), locations, and reminders of life in the 1990's. These are laugh-out-loud situations.

I purchased this on the advice of a friend. It's funny and well-made. I never really watched it when it was on TV, so it is new to me. Good series.

Fun series. It's hard to only watch one episode at a sitting.

This series is about a young doctor who moves to the wilderness to open his practice. The first few episodes seemed kind of pathetic to me,. Then, just as the series was getting interesting and developing something to care about, it was over.Each episode begins with a moose wandering through town, and that part is very entertaining and fun.

Here's a bit of a blast from the past. You'll probably have to be of an age to remember the series from its original run back in the early 90s to fully appreciate it. I doubt it will appeal to today's younger generation, but it's huge fun to re-visit the Alaskan town of Cicely and its quirky inhabitants if you enjoyed it back then.The lead character, the newly qualified Jewish NY doctor Joel Fleischmann (Rob Morrow), who is desperately out of his comfort zone in Alaska, hasn't aged terribly well - he is just too typical of the early 90s. But the rather weird (and wonderful) town folk are still hilarious. There is the tomboy local air taxi and mail pilot Maggie (Janine Turner) whose questionable claim to fame is that all her boyfriends have died, the pompous ex NASA astronaut Mauric Minnifield (Barry Corbin), the naive young Ed Chigliak, the middle aged inn keeper Holling and his teenage beauty queen girlfriend Shelly, the shrewd shop keeper Ruth-Anne, and the charismatic ex-con Chris (played by the ever enjoyable John Corbett), the local DJ and mail order minister. And who could forget the theme music and the title sequence with the moose wandering around town?Hugely enjoyable series if you're in the mood for some light entertainment.

Great value at twice the price. This is one of the most carefully crafted, odd-ball series to come out of the US in a long while. It is something they did very well at one time, but sadly no more (unless we just don't get them over here). There is a fascinating honesty and candour about the characters, their relationships, and the simple, unsophisticated lives they live in the quiet little backwater of Cicely, Alaska. This is a show that makes you think, and even ask yourself a few questions, as you enjoy the gentle humour of the locals and the trials of their 'fish out of water' newcomer from Manhattan.If you fancy a break from the 'sold by the yard' US sitcom of today, try this. From memory, this was the best of the six series.

Another "Fish out of water" series; this time a city doctor ends up in Alaska; I liked the fact the main character actually isn't very likable, and you feel sorry for the townsfolk stuck with him! Not as good as "Hart of Dixie" which is a similar story line, but this one you actually feel you could be in Alaska and is less focused on sex (up to you if that's good or bad!). Is generally quite light but has some serious issues on the go; I enjoyed it enough to buy the 2nd series, review to follow...

We were big fans of this series when it first came out in the nineties, and eagerly awaited each episode. Obviously it had to finish and we were disappointed but life goes on. Every now and then we would mention it and recall how good it was as a series, the quirky and off the wall nature of the characters. Each episode had a sublime and surreal quality to it. Great stuff. Funny how the past seems so wonderful when, it has passed, however i recently decided to dive in and order the first series expecting to be slightly let down by my distorted view of the old days. But i was wrong, from the first episode to the end, awesome, my 14 year old daughter watched them with us and took to the whole experience in earnest even watching the ones we hadnt seen. Get it. It will enrich your life. I need to get the next season soon. I miss it.

Like holding a cup of warm cocoa, sitting in front of a fire on a winters night.Drama comedy set in Alaska, where newly qualified, New York doctor ,Rob Morrow is tricked into taking up a post in the small rural community of Cicely, for four years.Gentle story lines with plenty of bizarre local characters.First broadcast in the very early nineties, although as it's set in a very remote rural community, it hasn't dated muuch.You do get the sense that Doc Martin could well have been based on this show.So if you like Doc Martin you'll love this.
