Who was your favorite Northern Exposure character, and why?

[jswordy]

Since there seem to be a lot of NE fans onsite right now!

I had the hots for Maggie (Janine Turner).

[Richardo]

1. I had the hots for Maggie, but Marilyn cracked me up the most.

[hadrons]

6. Turner screw her face up, see ...

8. I do NOT understand collagen in the UPPER lip

That does NOT look natural, dammit!

She already had that adorable bee-stung look on her lower lip. :(

[jswordy]

18. I liked that pouty lower lip!

Oops...there go those loins again! Heh.

[jswordy]

14. Geez...

...that's awful. And to think, looking at that 1994 pic of her just "stirred my loins" again. Ahem.

But in this artificial tears spot she does now, she looks like she rose from the grave. I keep resisting the urge to plunge a silver spike into the TV set!

ROFL...too bad, she was hot as hot could be.

Chris the DJ (John Corbett) used to quote philosophers. He'd throw in Joseph Campbell a lot, and that was cool with me, I like Campbell.

I also liked Ruth-Anne Miller (Peg Phillips, rest her soul). And Leonard Quinhagak (Graham Greene).

WAAAAAAAH-HA-HA-HA! Sigh. Nothing even touches it on TV today, IMHO.

UNDER EDIT: ...well, maybe West wing...

:shrug:

[jswordy]

7. Yeah, she had that...

...sneaky low-key kind of humor. I know folks like that, always pulling you on. Keeps you on your toes!

[dolo amber]

2. Ed and Chris

Ed because his brain works a lot like mine...and Chris for obvious reasons. :loveya:

[madaboutharry]

20. Yeah, Ed and Chris.

Ed was the smartest one in town and Chris was the cutest. I just bought season two.

[MissMillie]

3. I liked the radio disc jockey

I don't remember his name. He was too cool for words.

I also liked the old guy that shacked up with the young girl.

[JanMichael]

5. Chris in the morning

and Holling married Shelly!

I miss that show!

[movie_girl99]

4. i would have to say Marilyn as well n/t

[TNDemo]

9. I liked the policewoman who was dating the astronaut guy -

Maurice maybe was his name? I thought she was a hoot. And I liked the Adam Arkin character and his girlfriend - Adam and Eve, I think?

[jswordy]

15. Barbara Semanski

Played by Diane Delano

[fertilizeonarbusto]

10. Marylin, Holling and Ed

Maggie and the doctor got on my fucking nerves. They were a couple of immature twits.

[jswordy]

16. Sorry you feel that way, but I did find it interesting...

...that the exact same concept with something of the same feel to it was recycled in the series "Ed."

[SCDem]

11. Chris and Maggie

Chris for obvious reasons :loveya:

And I like Maggie because she was an independent woman yadda yadda yadda .... until I found out she was a fundie now even though I still love the show I try to focus on all the quirkinesses of all the other characters

[jswordy]

17. The character Maggie was a fundie in the show? WOW

I never saw that! Or are you talking about Janine Turner?

Does politics and religion way that heavily in all your interactions, even TV shows?

[SCDem]

19. Janine Turner is a fundie now

And it just makes me look differently at her.

I think it is so funny that people treat politics as something different and something other than every day life. Yes I try to make my politics jive with my everyday life... no Wal-Mart try to buy Union try to support local businesses... try not to support those that support ideologies that I find repulsive.

[jswordy]

24. Just asking...some are more revved up than others about it, is all...

PEACE! (nervous laugh) Heh...I'm on your side!

[SCDem]

26. It's ok

Just on a soap box now because someone in the SC Forum dines at an openly racist BBQ restaurant because he "doesn't mix politics with food"

[XNASA]

12. Ed, or Adam.

Then, of course, Maggie.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.

:evilgrin:

[Rowdyboy]

13. Holling and Shelley

What a couple...

I love Shelley's rendition of "The Snake"

[pmbryant]

21. Fleischman

But I loved all the characters.

--Peter

[No Mandate Here.]

22. Chris.. .Anyone want to fling a piano?

Has to be one of the best TV shows ever

The entire cast was great, and perfect together.

[jswordy]

25. That was a kewl episode!!! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. I loved Ed's innocence, Chris' wonder and Joel's evolution. :)

[JanMichael]

27. http://www.moosefest.com/index.htm

Enjoy! Warning! Turn your speaker volumn down before you click on that website

[Harry S Truman]

28. All of them

At its peak, it was the best show in TV history, IMHO.
Pure escapism. The Xmas episode where Holling sang in the little church blew me away. Even Maurice was cool.

It's amazing how they screwed it up when Rob Morrow left. I thought it would have been cool to have Alan Alda come on actually playing an older Dr. Hawkeye Pierce. Imagine the debates he would've had with Maurice!

Beers at The Brick anyone??
