Customer Reviews

TV Magic
For those of you who have never seen Northern Exposure, you have missed out on TV Magic, that in my opinion will never be bettered.
For those of you who did watch this excellent programme, you should go out and buy this, and remind yourself why you loved it so much when it was on our TV screens. It's still as good now as it was back then, and in my view, in a way it's better. You remenice about the good old days (when I was young), and the characters are ones you know. It's like being reunited with old friends that you haven't seen for years.

Aurora Borealis
Ah yes, the Northern Lights. In this season there is an episode with the above title. The story of how Bernard Stephens on instinct alone buys himself a motorbike and heads north until his gut tells him to stop. He stops in Cicely, Alaska. What follows is a wonderfuly imagined tale with dreamy music (particularly 'Moon River') and a conclusion which had me chuckling heartily. This is an hour of pure magic!

As a whole, the series is a must have DVD to begin your association with the six seasons of genius which will seldom if ever be equalled.

Off Beat & Excellent
The contrast between the quintessential urbanite and the laid back, quirky town of Cicely is what makes this series so enjoyable. All the characters are well developed with distinct if unusual personnalities. Having watched Northern Exposure, you start to understand why people would want to downsize! Highly recommended.
