The inspired, quirky, not to say down right weird, comedy drama, that revolves (tenuously) around Joel Fleischman, a born and bred New Yorker who finds himself transported to the remote wilderness of Cicely, Alaska, upon graduating as a doctor, a town populated by the good natured but single mindedly eccentric. Warm hearted, witty and perceptive, Northern Exposure garnered over 30 award nominations during its short run. Well worth a gander if the pleasure has so far eluded you.
