Unfortunately, this series is *not* complete. It's been butchered for a quick buck. Only season one has the original music, as is well documented. It's such a shame to ruin what is one of TV's finest and most original shows.
Do yourself a favor and skip buying this set. I was able to obtain/bootleg all of the episodes on DVD, which I felt I had no choice in doing (I'd rather buy a factory set), recorded from Canadian TV (which, by the way, even has more footage in some of the episodes than the syndicated U.S. broadcasts). This way it's intact, the way it was intended, with the original soundtrack---not the pusillanimous generic elevator music that the studio hastily replaced it with in the DVDs. It's just not the same show without the original soundtrack.
A faux-suede satchel or fake parka case doesn't come close to making up for compromising the artistic integrity of Northern Exposure. Sorry Universal, but you aren't getting one red cent from me until you get this right.

I would love to buy this. It would be my most prized DVD set. But I cannot until they present us the episodes in their complete and original forms. What a sad waste. They could have sold 100X this many and had steady post release sales had they not gutted this fantastic show. Sad.

Great show but it needs the original music. It's too integral a part of the presentation. Kind of like watching a Fred Astaire movie with someone else doing the dancing.

awful product - why 4 1/2 stars?
For all the reasons in the other reviews, this is an awful set. Universal ruined the value of one of tv's best series by chopping out the musical artwork. Read more

Northern Exposure is too cool
I loved this series when I started watching it about 1993. I didn't get to see the first 3 seasons and now I can understand the characters and their interactions even better. Read more
