Who misses Northern Exposure

[vinnievin777]

I am one of those people who finds out about a song or show years later but I loved that show. I used to watch it at 2am on the WB.

1. Filmed near the same location as Twin Peaks, I believe.

Another classic, even if the ending kind of sucked.

15. Roslyn, WA

sweet little town. About an hour and a half N. East of Seattle past the Snoqualmie pass on I-90. Really cool up there.

Twin Peaks was filmed in Snoqualmie falls, and the Diner really exists. It's worth a stop for some cherry pie.


edit: I found this website for Moosefest!:

20. Twin peaks diner burned down years ago

My wife and I went about 10 years ago, and I read that the Double-R Diner (aka Mar-T Cafe) was burned down by an arsonist a few years ago. :(

FWIW, the coffee was only "okay". Not sure about the pie, though.

2. Me!

I love that show...at least until they got rid of Joel Fleischman, then it sucked

[trogdor]

19. Yup.

It seemed to jump the shark rather spectactularly, didn't it.

3. Me. I was too young for the broadcasts,and fell in love when it was on A&E

I even bought some of the merchandise. The later seasons weren't great, but the early seasons were fabulous.

Existential comedy. Who'd a thunk it?

4. Loved that show

I cannot hear "That Old Time Rock and Roll' without thinking of the "Last Supper' episode............when 'Toolie' (sp?) passed <sigh>

Or when Chris flung the piano from the catapult!!

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. only the first season...

which was perfect.

6. I loved it.

Filmed in Roslyn, Washington, a funky little town in it's own right. I loved the quirky characters and how accepting they were of each other. It was a great little imaginary community. I miss it and Seinfeld, Calvin and Hobbes and the Far Side.

[donheld]

9. I do that was a great show

[Skarbrowe]

12. Dang, I loved that show when it first came on.

Life was so much simpler then. If I remember correctly, it started as a summer series? Is that right? I think they aired 6 episodes during the late summer and it did so well they picked it up as a series. I loved all the characters and that skinny moose. It was always cold outside but there was always this warm emotional feeling where everyone knew everyone and everything was accepted. I wanted to live there. The theme song still runs through my head now and then.

Ahhh

[enigmatic]

13. I forgot about that!

I should have said the first "2" seasons, then; I loved it, and it never failed to put a smile on my face watching it. I wish they played it up here in Canada in reruns...

[RadicalMom]

16. Some seasons are available on DVD, I saw them

on either the A&E site or at Amazon.

14. ?????

1. Northern Exposure

The act of ejaculating in your hand, and then slapping a girl in the face.

First I dropped her panties and prepared to give her Southern Justice, but then I had a change of heart and went with Northern Exposure.

17. Yes, I loved it

and I have the first season on DVD along with five episodes (greatest episodes?) on VHS.

18. "Seoul Mates" was the best Christmas episode, ever.

A long time ago, the raven looked down from the sky and saw that the people of the world were living in darkness. The ball of light was kept hidden by a selfish old chief.

So the raven turned himself into a spruce needle and floated on the river where the chief's daughter came for water.
She drank the spruce needle.

She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, who was the raven in disguise. The baby cried and cried until the chief gave him the ball of light to play with. As soon as he had the light, the raven turned back into himself.

The raven carried the light into the sky.

From then on, we no longer lived in darkness.

As told by Marilyn - Episode #3.10 ("Seoul Mates")

21. I've been to Roslyn.

God_bush_n_cheney took me there when I visited him last year. We had lunch at the Brick. Loved the open spittoon with running water flowing through it under the bar. Good burgers and beer.

[Madrone]

25. I live and work there....

Too bad I didn't know you were HERE! :)

I didn't live here when they filmed, though. Moved from Michigan in the fall of '98.

It's a pretty cute town, and probably one of the more liberal places in the red sea of eastern WA. Still pretty conservative here too, but not as bad as it could be.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Yes, too bad you didn't know we were there....or we you....

But we were literally there for lunch and then checked out a couple of stores so I could buy a couple T-shirts as gifts.

He was taking me to Snoqualmie Falls and through the Cascades. I said I had enjoyed the program and so we kept heading east.

After lunch and a look around, we headed back to Seattle.

22. Loved it until the episode when Chris wanted to hurl the cow...

...thought that was in really poor taste. They never ended up doing it, but just the idea that Joel was the only person who thought that killing a cow might be wrong just pushed the show over the edge--they jumped the shark at this point.

Still might ask for seasons 1 and 2 on dvd, though. It was my favorite show up until this point.

[TN al]

23. I miss everything about Northern Exposure...

...to talk about it further just will make me nostalgic. I hope all of you add your memories of the show so that I can remember them with you. Best show ever IMHO.

[pmbryant]

24. I do. But less so now that season 1 and 2 are available on DVD

:-)

26. I miss Janine Turner.

:cry:

[Danmel]

29. Janine Turner is a total Bushbot

You can see her doing ads for artificial tears, though. Total right wing kool aid drinker.

28. I mega fan here

When I was very tiny, my dad was stationed in Alaska. Since I was small, I wanted to be there where the postcards from Dad came from.

Even if it was filmed in WA, I still feel like I was supposed to live there, amongst the cold, snow and mountains.

So what the HELL am I doing in Texas? Time will tell, Im thinking.


I just need to make the move to THE biggest state, not this second rate shit.
