Back To Index Northern Exposure - The Complete Second Season
 Barnes & Noble This cult favorite -- a slow starter that from the outset earned favorable reviews but took its own sweet time finding an audience -- owes its popularity to exceptionally good writing and fine acting. Ostensibly built around Dr. Joel Fleishman (Rob Morrow), a physician who has agreed to serve a small Alaskan town in return for subsidy of his medical school expenses, Northern Exposure featured a talented ensemble cast that vividly brought to life some of the quirkiest characters seen on network TV up to that point. Even glamorous ex-model Janine Turner got to play an endearing oddball as the feisty bush pilot Maggie OConnell, while character actor Barry Corbin regularly chewed up the scenery as burly, gruff ex-astronaut Maurice J. Minnifield, the communitys business tycoon. Over the course of six years and 110 episodes there were many others, including stage veteran John Cullum as tavern owner Holling Vincoeur and Sex in the Citys John Corbett as local radio voice Chris Stevens. The seven episodes of the 1991 season, collected here on two discs, exhibit the eccentricities that made Northern Exposure one of prime times hippest shows. "The Big Kiss" finds Chris struck mute by a beautiful girl passing through town. "All Is Vanity" has sexagenarian Holling contemplating a circumcision, while Joel tries to learn the identity of a would-be patient who died in his waiting room. "Slow Dance" startled 1991 viewers by abruptly killing off popular guest star Grant Goodeve, in service of "The O’Connell Curse." But the best Season 2 episode is definitely "Spring Break," in which the seasonal thaw makes libidos run wild -- with surprising consequences.

On the other 5 episodes, Universal has replaced the relevant and moving music with muzak. For a show that centers around a radio station and a resturaunt/bar, and where many of the scenes refer directly to the music being played, this is simply unacceptsble.Scott, A reviewer, January 9, 2005 A Must for Any NE Fan!I loved the show and am very happy that they decided to offer at least two seasons on DVD. Season two reveals the shows colorful story and its wonderful characters, which were developed in the first season, that made it so thoughtfully entertaining.Also Recommended: Northern Exposure, Season One Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
