Product Description

From Amazon.com

Whether it's a snowy nude sprint down Main Street, the mysterious appearance of a long-lost relative, or the improbable death of yet another of Maggie's boyfriends, life's never dull in the remote hamlet of Cicely, Alaska. Colorful characters and quirky plots propelled Northern Exposure into the hearts of millions of viewers, earning the CBS "dramedy" series seven Emmy awards between its 1990 debut and its demise six seasons later.

In season 1, we meet Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow), an urban New York yuppie who consents to four years of rural servitude after Alaska pays his medical-school tuition. Joel's fish-out-of-water adventures drive the show, but it's the quirky ensemble of characters--Chris, the DJ/philosopher (John Corbett), Holling, the bartender (John Cullum), Maurice, the town patriarch (Barry Corbin), Ed, the filmmaker (Darren E. Burrows), and Maggie, the bush pilot (Janine Turner), among others–-that keeps the series consistently entertaining. The town develops its own offbeat personality as well, a Mayberry-meets-Twin-Peaks blend of Native mysticism, Aurora Borealis-induced dreams, unlikely tales of long-lost family members, and rumors of a Bigfoot-like creature known simply as "Adam."

Northern Exposure provides a utopian escape--a place where life is interesting but never dangerous, everyone's insightful, the mystical becomes real, and nobody's burdened with a mundane 9-to-6 desk job. Cicely is a delightful place to visit, even if it's only for an hour at a time.

A mid-season replacement, season 1 consists of just eight episodes on two DVDs. Each episode includes 5-10 minutes of outtakes and deleted scenes. --Shane Burnett

Product Description

Northern Exposure: The Complete First Season is a 7-time Emmy award-winning series that is a remarkable blend of quirky humor and heartwarming storytelling. With an ensemble cast including Rob Morrow (Quiz Show), John Corbett (Sex and the City) and Janine Turner (Cliffhanger), Season One of Northern Exposure takes you back to where it all began. Fresh out of New York's Columbia University, cocky young Dr. Joel Fleischman (Morrow) is looking forward to his comfortable position in Alaska's largest city. Upon his arrival, Joel finds himself a fish-out-of-water as he's instead assigned to a tiny Alaskan village where the offbeat locals would love for him to stay forever. Relive the complete first season of the show and all its great moments with this set.

A great show -- why can't they package it correctly? Jun 19 2004
By Tony
Format:DVD
Like many others here, I've been waiting (patiently but anxiously) for the DVDs of Northern Exposure, my favorite show ever. And I was charmed, I'll admit, by the external packaging (the mini down jacket).

But it's all downhill from there:

* Package includes only two two-sided DVDs, despite the fact they're charging such a high price for just 8 episodes.

* Episodes are completely out of order. The pilot episode, for example (which sets up the premise of the show) is on the reverse side of disc 1.

* WHY WHY do they torment us with those darned previews? I UNDERSTAND why they include previews on a CURRENT movie release that they're going to sell to me cheap. But don't make us fast-forward through previews on a 13-year-old show that's being sold at a premium price!!!

* IF YOU OWN A LASONIC PLAYER, READ THIS. Side 2 of Disc 1 is apparently unplayable on my all-region DVD player (a Lasonic DVD-8090: I receive a "data error"). This happened on two copies of the show. I returned my first copy assuming the disc was damaged; when my second copy also failed, I decided to test it on a standard player (where it worked fine).

In all, a sloppy marketing and manufacturing job. Disappointing for such a great show...

Where's the Beef? July 19 2004
Format:DVD
Norther Exposure is probably one of the best cast, best written, & best Location-scouted TV shows ever aired. My wife & I eagerly awaited for the show's arrival to DVD. When we purchased the show--for an outrageous $50.00--we were shocked at what we received. Yes, the innovative packaging was fun, but it hid the fact that there was nothing inside. As others have noted, the price is horrible when you realize that there were on 8 episodes! What makes it worse is that there is absolutely no information included. No booklet with stills from the show, no list of episodes, nothing at all. On top of that, they do not even give you multiple discs, they give you cheezy 2 sided discs with 2 shows on each side. What were they thinking? Others have noted that seasons 1 & 2 should have been combined. I agree. If you are a fan of the show & want the episodes from season 2, you'll get reamed gain... there are only 7 episodes!

Great Show but Terrible DVD July 10 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
OK, the 1 star is not because I don't like Northern Exposure. On the contrary. The one star is for the pathetic organization of this DVD.

Not only is this DVD too overpriced for 8 episodes (give me a break!)

It is incoherently organized on two sides of each DVD, which are not clearly marked.

I was willing to overpay for the DVD. But aren't we, the fans, entitled to a quality DVD in exchange?

I Love Northern Exposure
This is a quality dvd set. It is a little pricy, but it is worth it. You get a lot of extras, etc.

Is it worth the price?
Yes and no.

If you are a diehard fan, obviously it is worth it. The packaging is fantastic (probably where most of the cost comes from) and the extras are interesting, though... Read more

Worth Having For Now
Northern Exposure was one of the best television shows since humans mastered electricity but the DVD product is flawed.
