Product Description
Product Description
This 7-time Emmy award-winning series is a remarkable blend of quirky humor and heartwarming storytelling. With an ensemble cast including Rob Morrow (Quiz Show), John Corbett (Sex and the City), and Janine Turner (Cliffhanger), Season 1 of Northern Exposure takes you back to where it all began. Fresh out of New York's Columbia University, cocky young Dr. Joel Fleischman (Morrow) is looking forward to his comfortable position in Alaska's largest city. Upon his arrival, Joel finds himself a fish-out-of-water as he's instead assigned to a tiny Alaskan village where the offbeat locals would love him to stay forever. Relive the complete first season of the show TV Guide calls "…one of television's truly fine series."

Whether it's a snowy nude sprint down Main Street, the mysterious appearance of a long-lost relative, or the improbable death of yet another of Maggie's boyfriends, life's never dull in the remote hamlet of Cicely, Alaska. Colorful characters and quirky plots propelled Northern Exposure into the hearts of millions of viewers, earning the CBS "dramedy" series seven Emmy awards between its 1990 debut and its demise six seasons later.
In season 1, we meet Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow), an urban New York yuppie who consents to four years of rural servitude after Alaska pays his medical-school tuition. Joel's fish-out-of-water adventures drive the show, but it's the quirky ensemble of characters--Chris, the DJ/philosopher (John Corbett), Holling, the bartender (John Cullum), Maurice, the town patriarch (Barry Corbin), Ed, the filmmaker (Darren E. Burrows), and Maggie, the bush pilot (Janine Turner), among others-that keeps the series consistently entertaining. The town develops its own offbeat personality as well, a Mayberry-meets-Twin-Peaks blend of Native mysticism, Aurora Borealis-induced dreams, unlikely tales of long-lost family members, and rumors of a Bigfoot-like creature known simply as "Adam."
Northern Exposure provides a utopian escape--a place where life is interesting but never dangerous, everyone's insightful, the mystical becomes real, and nobody's burdened with a mundane 9-to-6 desk job. Cicely is a delightful place to visit, even if it's only for an hour at a time.
A mid-season replacement, season 1 consists of just eight episodes on two DVDs. Each episode includes 5-10 minutes of outtakes and deleted scenes. --Shane Burnett

To begin with...even though the first season only comprises eight episodes. And despite the shoddy way the DVD's are put together, this set still warrants acquiring (even if Universal does not deserve money for the product).
Northern Exposure is a series that was "on" from the beginning. The Caricaturization so often found in first seasons is almost completely lacking. The plot picks up and takes off.
Most of this is due to one of the greatest ensemble casts of all time (John Cullum and John Corbett lead a long list of my favorites). This cast, wedded with excellent writing, made Northern Exposure a truly transcendent show from the very beginning.
Why then the crappy treatment?
I don't mind the parka-packaging. However, I would willingly trade it to not have to deal with flipper discs and previews I am forced to fast-forward through rather than skip. It is even more annoying that there is not a printed list of which episodes are on which discs (this could confuse some--particularly with the flipper discs).
Sixty bucks is a bit much to shell out for something as poorly put together as this DVD set. Yet, the episodes are worth acquiring--any way you can.
I recommend these episodes. I also heartily recommend someone at Universal pull their heads out of wherever they stuck it.
This series deserves more.
Appreciate what we have here, folks, and the integrity of the producers to stick by their commitment to deliver the episodes intact (not the re-run butcher edits or with different music). I still need to do some comparisons with my VCR tapes to make sure they didn't use the syndication edits - but I'm betting they didn't. Because they're doing it right.
Buy these and buy them again and let's make sure they put every season out.
Name me a show on television now that looks, sounds, and feels this good. Great writing, acting, directing, etc. What more do you want?!! Pay for it. Quality costs money. Reward quality with your money, so that the entertainment world will make more quality shows like this vs what we've been getting recently.
In the current environment this show would have been cancelled after only a few episodes.

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.
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.
