Northern Exposure — TV — The Spring BBS Archive

~terry Thu, Dec 12, 1996 (22:35) seed

Northern Exposure may be in re-runs but we've gotten many requests for this topic. I loved this show and missed a lot, so I'm looking forward to seeing some of the re-runs. We have some very cogent conversations on this in the old Spring archvies.

Copy the url of this topic and get it on the search engines. That way you'll start getting responses. If you need help with this, let me know. You have to give out the read only url which you get when you come in to the Spring's read only conferences. You might also try getting some Northern Exposure websites to link to this topic.

I put in a comment about NExp somewhere but by now I've been so many places...anyway, yeah, LOVED NExp in its early seasons (hated the new doc and his whiney wifs; stopped watching right before Rob Morrow ditched). The unique use of unusual music totally blew me away--they apparently sell actual compilations of the tunes used. I did get my hands on that incredible piece used on the episode where (and your eyes glaze over) at the end all the men run bare-assed through the streets to the strains of Lindse Buckingham "if we all-all-all-all go insane-sane-sane, we can all go together..."--there are some shows that actully USE music, but none with the intelligence, taste, and savvy of NExp.

It must be playing re runs on my satellite dish somewhere, with all these 600 channels you'd think it would be running somewhere.

have you ever found it on video? they're doing more & more of that (see X-files)

~terry Mon, Apr 14, 1997 (23:29) #6

Not yet, my satellite magazine hasn't come yet. It may be listed on http://www.tripled.com under wild feeds.

Sadly I'm still an umbilically-connected cable kind o' gal. You satellite folk have all the fun!

~terry Tue, Apr 15, 1997 (22:31) #8

It is fun, but it was a lot of work to get that 10' dish in synch with all those satellites.

~aubrey Wed, Apr 16, 1997 (09:57) #9

10 foot? I thought the major advantage was nowadays they're tiny (18 inches). Could I get a little man in to synch my dish (should I elect to make such a $400 purchase) or is that prohibitively expensive? How did you know where the satellites were (your observatory?)? Once again we've drifted....

~terry Wed, Apr 16, 1997 (21:26) #10

I think they're under $200 for the little digital jobbies now and they are the only way to go if you don't already have a big dish. If I hadn't put in a big dish years ago I wouldn't even consider it.

I also ADORED Northern Exposure. I also quit watching when that AWFUL new doc and his yucky wife showed up. I couldn't help being totally mad at ROB MORROW for leaving, and where is he now? I realize a person doesn't become an actor to play only one part all the time, but where is their loyalty to the shows that make them rich and famous, as well as to the fans? Oh well, where I live it was in reruns during the day for awhile, then in the middle of the night, now it appears to be gone. Don't you think LIF TIME should pick it up? By the way, my favortie show, SLIDERS, has recently been canceled. I'll help you save your favorite shows if you'll help me bring SLIDERS back from the dead! It worked once before! Please, it won't take very long, write a nice letter to Peter Roth, President Fox Entertainment PO BOX 900 Beverly Hills, CA 90213 And don't write SLIDERS on the outside of the envelope or it will be dumped into the fan mail bin. Thanks, everyone, and look in your bookstores for NORTHERN EXPOSURE books. I bought a book of photos all taken by ROB MORROW and captioned by him. I also bought a NORTHERN EXPOSURE cook book! And a cd of music from the show! Thanks, everyone!

HELP ME I AM LOSING MY MEMORY--so what is the name of the show that the Nexp DJ actor is now doing???? I saw a blurb about it in the paper but of course in one eye and out the other for me!!! I want to watch the show but I don't even know what it is!

~terry Mon, Jun 23, 1997 (08:31) #30

I don't know but you may want to add 'minds' to your conference list, aubrey. Join it and see what's going on.

~aubrey Fri, Jun 27, 1997 (13:03) #31

Thank you terry! I might want to add a mind to the inside of my skull too!

G'day guys, I'm Andrew from Australia. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but you guys sound absolutely crazy! Anyway I'm a devoted NE fan.... Yahdeh, Yahdeh. I know you guys always talk about the show as being "cool" etc, but don't you really think that the show was appealing because of the lack of superficiality of the characters (ie..Chris and Maggie). I'd love to be able to live a life like that! Maybe I'm full of crap.... I don't know. Anyway Cheerio.

And she's thinking about marrying the guy, maybe.

Hi everyone! I've been running around the net trying to locate other NX fans to talk with. Since the show went off the air,It's left a void that only other fans can understand . The answer to an eariler question I read about the new show (Chris) John Corbett will Star in is "The Visitor" on Friday nights, I can't wait!!! Favorite episode? That's tough,but Spring Break,and The Bear {that's not the real name of the ep but I always remember it that way}. are two that stand out in my mind. What about your favorite episodes? Did any of you go to or hear about the Moosefest?

~paxzen Mon, Feb 2, 1998 (05:44) #42

Northern exposure was the best thing tv ever did. Now the only good thing I watch is the Simpsons! I loved Chris in the morning, didnt really dig it when he started dating Maggie, btw, I thought Maggie and the doc were the weak points of the show (IMHO). I mostly liked the feel of the town. One of my favorite episodes was the one where the amateur movie guy(name?) did his film of the town. That episod would bring tears to my eyes each time I saw it. I dont have cable or satellite, so I dont see the s ow anymore.

Well, there are always Northern Exposure websites, maybe you could find a group that trades old tapes.
