  • Northern Exposure began as a typical “fish out of water” story, but thanks to a wandering moose, its abstract contemplation of not-so-everyday absurdities, and a colorful cast of characters, the series quickly struck a tone unlike anything viewers had seen before (or since). Hear from the cast & creatives as they look back at the series’ enduring strangeness, how the self-proclaimed comedy became an award-winning drama, and why we we’re still thinking about that damn moose more than 20 years later.

    Northern Exposure WAS my family in the 90's. I had a hard and lonely upbringing and spent countless hours hiding away in my room. I couldn't even tell you how I discovered the show but boy did I love it. I would watch reruns on A&E religiously and I never tired of them. Many years later when I had my first daughter I sang the same sweet song to her that Shelly sang to her baby: "Oh, my little bunny face, my cute little cuddly thing..." I loved being able to do that. 16 years later I asked my old partner to find me a good used set of the entire series for my birthday as the show had always stuck with me and he got me an excellent one that came in a neat Alaskan style soft, suede bag. I think it's supposed to be a replica of Fleischman's bag he always carried around. I swear those episodes are so timeless and I just love and appreciate them so much. It's so awesome watching them now that I'm not a teenager and looking at everything through a different lens. One thing that I hadn't realized is that Maurice wasn't just a big old grump and man was he totally hilarious. I wholeheartedly love all the characters but he may be my favorite. I watched the episode where he fires Chris from the radio station cause he gets cranky at him and my Lord was I cracking up so hard. The episode where he sings at Shelly and Holling's wedding? Oh Maurice 😂. What a wonderful freaking show. They absolutely nailed the relationship and buildup between Fleishman and Maggie so perfectly. I adore how they gave us a history on every character and it never got boring, just different; a new tale to always watch and learn from. Marilyn and Fleischman were the yin and yang of dramedy dreams: side splittingly funny and emotionally powerful sometimes with just a look at each other. It was always what was said in the silences with those two and it was magical. The dynamic of the cast really was like living in this small town and being friends and walking amongst these people. Fleischman, Maggie, Shelly and Maurice were the intense ones while Chris, Ed, Holling, Marilyn and Ruth-Anne were more the soft spoken deep thinkers everyone went to for advice. When the town all goes to Ed's movie that he was so stressed about is just a perfect example of what a family they all were. Not to mention those incredible guest appearances, most notably from the beautiful Jessica Lundy as Fleischman's fiance, Diane Delano's spotlessly funny without even trying gruff cop lover to Maurice, and the completely insane performances of the off their rockers woodland couple played by Adam Arkin and Valerie Mahaffey. We even got some Graham Greene action in there. The story arc with Richard Cummings Jr. as Chris' long lost brother Bernard was genius too. The way they mirrored each other so effortlessly was a masterclass in acting. I'm pretty sure the show wasn't really filmed in Alaska but to this day I still want to move there. So many of them are still with us today and doing well but I know Peg Phillips passed on many years back ❤. I am so thankful for this outstanding show. It's my absolute favorite and I know nothing will ever beat it, at least not in my book :') 🧚‍♂️

    I found Northern Exposure my freshman year of college in 94/95. They played it every week night at 11:00 on one of the local NH channels and I totally got addicted to it. I think I related to the fish out of water storyline, but also loved the quirky and unexpected intellectualism tastefully scattered throughout the episodes. (I loved the "Chris in the morning" philosophical diatribes)
    And I definitely thought Maggie was smoking hot. I remember thinking, "no way Fleishman or any other red blooded American male could ever be that rude to a girl that gorgeous"

    Three of the best moments in the show… Ruth-Ann quoting Terentius “nothing human is alien to me”. Encapsulates the entire ethos of the show. And then when Ed has told someone’s secret to someone else and was wracked with guilt the entire episode… and he hears the priest explain that redemption is available to anyone who genuinely regrets their sin,- just the look on Burrow’s face thru that scene, was so affecting. The best performance of the entire show.
    And now that I am in my late 60’s I find myself channeling Maurice and telling people “ Stop sticking Pins in my Doll!”

    Thanks for taking us back to Cicely! And thanks for bringing Adam down, too! Lots of good laughs remembering. The show made you feel like you were a part of the family! Nice to have a reunion like this. Now I have to go back and watch the series again (for the umpteenth time!). Incidentally, we saw "Holling" star in "Shenandoa" on Broadway in 1976. He was fantastic and I will never forget that performance. Some time after Northern Exposure I think was off the air, I heard an interview with John aka Holling on NPR. They were talking about the episode where Shelley was pregnant and could only sing. The director asked Holling if he could sing and he said something like, well, yes, I can sing a little. When they asked him to sing something, he sang in his magnificent Broadway voice, which surprised everyone. They then asked if he could just tone it down a little! He did, and that is what you hear in that episode. I think he mentioned on the interview that he had been on Broadway in Shenandoa and it was then that I realized, to my great surprise, who he was and my jaw just dropped knowing that I had seen him in person. Best show ever made as far as I am concerned.

    For the record, Northern Exposure was written about my group of friends and a few other citizens who lived in Seward, Alaska back in the 80's and 90's. Though there are reports the show was based on the people of Talkeetna, AK, I'm witness to the fact that the writers stayed with my friend Maggie (the original Maggie) while they wrote about the people they met and observed in Seward. Chris in the Morning was based on Seward's quirky radio host and now college professor, Kurt Dunbar. Ed was loosely based on a man we affectionately called, Spaceman Bruce...

      The thing that I think no one talks about is that after Morrow left, even though the show had a transition with Paul Provenza the writing got on track after just a few of the "new" episodes. There were some excellent episodes with Paul imo but the network had it in for the show and moved it to a graveyard time slot and it was clear the show was going to end. It's too bad because it seemed like the writers were expanding the show's focus and it was clear they weren't giving up on it. Once they knew the show was cancelled the writers had to force an ending and it derailed the new direction they were going in.

      As far as a "continuation" of the show, there are too many of the wonderful original cast who are no longer alive or are unable to appear in a TV production as before. After 25 years, "you can never go home any more", so to speak.

      @@dehoedisc7247 I agree 100%!! We still watch the old show weekly but I do not want to see any reboot. Look how many times they have done this and it was not good. Columbo....and others sucked as reboots. And its ironic that it was Rob M that pretty much ended the first one when everyone wanted to go on a few more seasons and the ratings where good enough to do it. Now he wants the reboot. Plus Walt/Ruthann are dead....Maurice and Holling (who is almost 90!) are so aged not sure they would want the grind of TV. And I thought Corbett wanted nothing to do with it again. And the new characters will probably suck.

      Don't see it this way. Joel was a changed man finally , even if it is implied he went back to New York, I think he outgrown New York, he might have spent some time there but I rather see this character as expecting something more from life - I can see Joel as Doctor without Borders on UN missions somewhere in Africa or east Asia, spending years there doing something of some added value, maybe adopting a child from there, and then coming to Alaska.... .

    I was unfamiliar with what ATX was... so I googled it. Apparently, it is a festival in Austin Texas that deals with the medium of Television. So, there is the answer to everyone's first question upon stumbling onto this video. It sounds very interesting. If I may make two suggestions to the event handlers for future events -- one, get a few more mics for everyone. Second, run the audio through a compressor/limiter before uploading to the web. Finally, my favorite part of Northern Exposure was KBHR. I used to have a sweatshirt with the call letters - but someone smoking a cigarette bumped into me, and the sweatshirt was no more. If I ever find a shirt or sweatshirt with the logo again - I will be sure to pick it up. Thanks. Carry on.

    I have the series on VHS, and on DVD, but the DVDs don't have the original music, which was as much a part of the show as any setting or character. I would pay extra to purchase the entire series again with the original music intact. This show had such a huge influence on my life in so many profound ways, it was one of the major reasons I hitchhiked to Alaska at the age of 19 (in 1993) and on my way there, I did stop in Roslyn, WA and got to meet some of the set construction crew, who then let me see the sets in Redmond, where they shot the interiors. And then, on my first night in real Alaska, I watched an episode of NE from my tent while IN ALASKA and that was an unforgettable experience. ♥

    One thing to note; Joshua Brand (far left) describes him working for Universal and coming up with the idea for NX, which is untrue. A man by the name of Sandy Veith came up with the concept for NX in the early 80's while working for Universal as well. His concept was not turned into a series while he was still under contract with them, but was turned into a series by the same executives who he worked under approximately a year after his contract had expired. Mr. Veith won a lawsuit against Universal for $10 million. This lawsuit was a large contributing factor to the cancellation of the show after 6 seasons.
    With that said - yes Joshua Brand and John Falsey were the showrunners and executive producers, but they were not the creators of it.
