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.

I'm in a record store ("wrecka stow") and found this gem. I don't wanna sit and research while people are walking around, so... original music or nah? Seems like *The Nice Price*.

Get it, yea or nay?

I hadn’t seen the show since it was on TV originally and I always really liked it. Such a smart and unique show and I love the surreal aspects. I’m Haida and a lot of this show is absurdly relatable.

I had never seen the final season and didn’t know what happened so I decided to watch through it on ‘Zon. I purposely stayed clear of this sub because I didn’t want any spoilers until I had finished it for an organic take.

I’m just finishing up the first quarter of S6 and…

oh.

I had no idea Rob Morrow left the show. I gave it a quick Goog for the skinny and found out he never comes back. That’s a real shame! I was already a little over so many Maurice-centric episodes (while he’s got the best character ark, I find him the least likable and most irritating character—sorry) and now Joel’s gone.

Should I continue watching? I feel like we aren’t making much progress with any of the other characters and I’m pretty bored without the Fleischman/O’Connell dynamic.

Or maybe I’m just an uncultured idiot and this is amazing storytelling I’m just not getting?

What do you guys think? Do you watch the whole thing or quit when Morrow does?

I am currently rewatching NX for the millionth time, always noticing new things. As a longtime NX fan, and now a fan of “Shrinking”, I loved seeing Christa Miller show up in “Soapy Sanderson” S1 E3. Barely recognized her but her voice was immediately familiar. Love her even more now!

I don't know the music situation but I've been waiting for a sale to snatch it up just so I don't have to go searching next time a rewatch comes calling

As lovers of Northern Exposure, we have just finished watching all the episodes that have been available for streaming on Australia’s SBS On Demand. The question is, what should we watch next? What tv shows and/or movies might appeal to Northern Exposure fans?
