Team Where's the Remote are thrilled to be able to select, representing our drama pick, in the 4th round an absolute gem of a TV show,

Northern Exposure

I love this show. My wife and I only watch it at our cabin so it just seems fitting to watch there. It also reminds me of one of my favourite movies, "Local Hero", from which the producers most certainly got a little inspiration. The quirky characters and beautiful setting are pitch perfect. This show ran for six seasons and is worth a try for anybody who wants to watch something a little different from the norm. Check out the comments at imdb to see how much people love this show.

Northern Exposure is a dramedy series. It was created by Brand-Falsey Productions, which was recognized with a rare pair of consecutive Peabody Awards in 1991–92 for the show's "depict[ion] in a comedic and often poetic way, [of] the cultural clash between a transplanted New York doctor and the townspeople of fictional Cicely, Alaska"[1] and its stories of how "people of diverse backgrounds and experiences strive to accept their differences and co-exist."[1] Most of Northern Exposure's story arcs are character-driven, with the plots revolving around the intricacies and eccentricities of the citizens. Critic John Leonard called Northern Exposure "the best of the best television in the past 10 years."[2]
The show started as an eight-episode summer replacement series on CBS in 1990.[2][3] It returned for seven more episodes in spring 1991, then became a regular part of the network's schedule in 1991-92, 1992-93, and 1993-94, three seasons in which the show was among the top 20 in the ratings.[4] Its last season, 1994-95, included a gap during May sweeps when CBS broadcast other programming. A total of 110 episodes were produced.
