>city israelite moves to huwhyte town in the woods
I havent seen it since watching with my dad as a kid admittedly
The one episode that I remember was when the israelite got hit with a tomato or something. The town had this tradition where the Injuns would throw fruit at white people and everyone would get a big laugh. After the townspeople explained this to the israelite doctor he was confused because he said he wasn't white, he was israeli.
>Oy vey, I'm actually one you fellow POC
Kek. Every frickin time.
Small town comfykino with a sexy tomboy
>a sexy tomboy
I should clarify: an exceptionally sexy tomboy
Good lord what a woman. Also smoking hot in cliffhanger.
Her rack was probably magnificent, but she never got em out.
Great googly moogly
A neurotic israeli doctor from NYC (think a Woody Allen protagonist but with even less rediming qualities) is forced to work at a small alaskan town filled with weird and quirky characters, driving home the fish-out-of-water overall theme.
Show is filled with philosophy, life lessons and the vurtues of downshifting characteristical from early 90's media.
In that regard the show is unapologetically 90's, so buyer beware.
>rediming
>vurtues
>characteristical
I've been seeing a lot of this today on Cinemaphile wtf is going on?
ESL posters or sleep deprived NEETs not checking what they have typed out.
Not a NEET but currently sleep deprived.
Magic realism or magical realism is a style or genre of fiction and art that presents a realistic view of the world while incorporating magical elements, often blurring the lines between
fantasy and reality
The flying man. The bear. O'connell's curse. Holling life span.
>Sell me on it.
Great tv series until the final season.
Is the 'I'm not white' played as some sort of joke by the show or is it completely serious?
No, he's serious.
>hello fellow whites!
I commend the israelite for having a rare moment of honesty. Of course it will go right back to claiming it's White when it's time to spew hatred against White people.
Then he turns to a white person and says
>We’re white! We’re the worst people in the world! We need to hand over control of our countries to non-whites, who are way better than us whites!
Buy Northern Exposure or I'll kill you
it was produced by David Chase.
This was one of the only adult shows I liked watching. Literally nobody ever talked about it. It was nice. It had comedy in it but wasn't tryhard laughtrack comedy, it was organic when it happened.
Very problematic.
How the FRICK did they get away with this
what about them? I was a kid when it aired
I remember only the dude
An older man having sex with a younger woman is now considered pedophilia even if she's an adult. The age gap on the show was over 40 years, which in the 90s was considered quirky but now would be considered gross and criminal.
You mean Anna Nicole didn't marry for love!?!?
ah, right. too hardcore for 2020s
I liked how he was reluctant to marry her because he was scared of outliving her since his father and grandfather all lived to be 120 or something.
One of the few things I remember from the show, along with the time he couldn't poop after she redecorated their bathroom, and the Snake song:
Holy frick finally someone made a thread.
Great show, every character is likeable in some way and the plots never get stale or formulaic.
Whenever Joel isn't hamming up his israeliness the show is incredibly comfy.
I hate Marilyn with a passion, the smug obese b***h.
The older I get, the more I understand Maurice.
Didn't they make him gay? I can't remember.
That's what I meant. The older I get, the more I want to have sex with boys.
I never watched it, but I might soon, since '90s small town aesthetic is so comfy. Is this like Twin Peaks without the supernatural stuff?
I’ve been thinking of watching it since Rhett and link mentioned it as one of their favourite shows on their podcast (they’re the one normalgay thing I like, lay off me)
Tomboy aside, why?
It's legitimately one of the better TV shows from the 90s
>cute girls
>extremely comfy
>great cast and performances
>great soundtrack
>explores interesting themes
Do you need any more?
And Cliffhanger. But, anything else?
She was on General Hospital back in the 80s with Demi Moore
This show was called "The good life in Alaska" in Norway, and they kept showing ads for it, and I never watched it. I was probably too young at the time. I still remember the moose intro.
>The good life in Alaska" in Norway
I wonder why it was named different? Does Northern Exposure not translate well into Norwegian? Was Alaska/USA a selling point?
Reminded me of an Australian show called Doctor Doctor or at least that is what it is know in Australia as internationally it is titled The Heart Guy.
It doesn't translate at well at all. Also, to clarify, it was called "The good life in Alaska", but in Norwegian. "Det gode liv i Alaska". I dunno why I have such vivid memories of the ads. Maybe I saw them when watching The X-Files. They ran around the same time.
>Det gode liv i Alaska
reckon we could've worked that one out tbf lad
Any webms or more images?
Erm lewd
>Potential revival
>In 2016, Darren Burrows and his production company, Film Farms, held a crowdfunding campaign to fund a development project with the goal of creating more episodes. The working title for this project is "Northern Exposure: Home Again".[28] Despite not meeting the original $100,000 goal, Burrows decided to continue with the project.[29]
>On June 17, 2016, Film Farms announced that writer David Assael had been hired to write for the project. He previously wrote several episodes, including "Russian Flu," "Spring Break," and "It Happened in Juneau," among others. The revival was originally envisioned as a two-hour "visit to Cicely," but a ten-episode series was reportedly being pitched to various network, cable, and streaming venues.[30]
>On November 20, 2018, it was reported that a revival series was in the early stages of development at CBS, with Brand, Falsey, and Morrow executive producing and Morrow again playing Fleischman. Corbett was named as producer but his appearance as a performer was not confirmed.[31][32] Falsey died in January 2019, and on May 19, 2019, Josef Adalian, an editor for the New York City-based magazine Vulture, tweeted that CBS had cancelled development work on the series.[33] Adalian subsequently tweeted that the rights holder, Universal Studios, could pitch the revival elsewhere, but it was unclear whether Universal was planning to move the project to another outlet. Morrow, who was busy with other commitments, found out about Falsey's death on Twitter. On November 15, 2019, Morrow revealed in an interview on radio station WGN 720AM in Chicago that he and Brand were continuing revival efforts despite Falsey's death and CBS's decision.
Please God no
There was a pixie in Everwood that looked like her. Always thought they were sisters or related.
Is she a massive conspiryloon magartard now?
I heard she and Ed Chigliak both are
>Is she a massive conspiryloon magartard now?
Thats not how you spell wife material
I liked her in Leave it to Beaver the movie
How come this isn't on any streaming service?
it's on Amazon Prime
Only if you pay for each season. Might as well just get the boxset at that rate.
I feel like the streamers are missing a trick not having more big shows of this vintage more readily available.
must be a regional thing, here in the US it's all on there
For me it's the Great North
I can't say I have heard of this show, though maybe that is down to the country I am in (Britain) and age (born in the year it ended). Glancing at its Wikipedia page and seeing the number of seasons, viewership ratings and awards, I am surprised I haven't seen it posted on Cinemaphile before. Any reason why this show, seemingly, got forgotten or at least not brought up here?

NE is very well written. I was a kid when it was on TV but I would watch it with my parents. Even though I was young it was written so well I was able to enjoy it. The early 90's had a surprising amount of "smart" and soulful shows. You had TNG, x-files NE etc. It had a real impact on me when I was young. I knew who Carl Jung was when I was 10.Their is something about the vibe of these shows that FEEL like 1992. Whenever I watch them I feel a deep nostalgia. They were written with that sort of innocent/naive 90s progressivism before it had become a woke cancer. My parents and I took a vacation out to the pacific northwest around 1995 and we went to the town where it was filmed, which was even more surreal. I own a bunch of the DVDs but hadn't watched in in forever, and the DVDs I had didnt' have the licensing for all the music. I've been watching some every now and then for the last few months and my heart aches for the 90's.
That prevailing mood came from the general belief in the West that the 'end of history' had been reached. With the existential threat of the USSR being no more it was believed that Western liberal democratic values/principles were 1) secure, 2) would naturally spread and 3) would no longer need to be compromised. That belief was combined with positively viewed technological progress and the public underestimating how complex global challenges actually were. That optimism would devastated with 9/11, exhausted with the War on Terror, crushed even more with the 2007/2008 economic crisis and its long-term effects, and buried with the death of a shared culture combined with political polarisation and many feeling social alienation.
The opening theme is impossibly catchy
