I had forgotten Northern Exposure existed for 30 years until remembering it recently, and discovering that i had very fond memories of watching it on Irish tv as a teenager. There was something different about it, definitely going to watch it again

Well I was excited to talk about how Sasha and Digweed produced one of the greatest prog house mixes of all time, but ... I suppose I now have another show to add to my to-watch list.

My 9th grade history teacher showed us S3E6 "The Body in Question" and it really stuck with me all the way through being an important part of my college thesis basically. I never actually watched any other episodes but I still think about Pierre and the distinction between truth and fact a lot.

Jessie the Bear episode, it ends with Enya's "Carribran Blue", is "The Constant" of the 90s.
reply- I looked it up season 3 episode 18 "The Final Frontier".

One of my favorite shows, was happy to see it finally come to streaming a few years ago, came later than a lot of other older shows from the same time period.

When "Resident Alien" came out, we started watching it and I quipped to my wife, "oh, so this is 'Northern Exposure', but the out of touch, out of towner doctor pressed into small town service, constantly scheming to get out, is more likeable."

Very few shows like that, but Ted Lasso actually reminded me a lot of NEX in how it made me feel.
