I really miss "Northern Exposure"

Dr. Joel Fleischman: I'm very happy with myself. I have no need to go slumming in your persona.

1. Just saw John Corbett on MTV

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

2. That's what made me nostalgic for it... that was a GREAT show!!

And I miss it. :cry:

[xmas74]

8. I watched it every week.

[fizzgig]

3. that's what's making me miss that show

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

7. I must find it on DVD now. A total gem.

[xmas74]

9. I loved that show.

13. Here are some great "Chrisisms"

Chris Stevens: There's a dark side to each and every human soul. We wish we were Obi-Wan Kenobi, and for the most part we are, but there's a little Darth Vader in all of us. Thing is, this ain't no either-or proposition. We're talking about dialectics, the good and the bad merging into us. You can run but you can't hide. My experience? Face the darkness. Stare it down. Own it. As brother Nietzsche said, being human is a complicated gig. So give that ol' dark night of the soul a hug. Howl the eternal yes!

Chris Stevens: Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon.

Chris Stevens: We all carry around so much pain in our hearts. Love and pain and beauty. They all seem to go together like one little tidy confusing package. It's a messy business, life. It's hard to figure - full of surprises. Some good. Some bad.

14. A friend is a dj.

She interviewed him years ago. Says he is quite sexy in person-almost swoon sexy! And the first question was not about the movie he was promoting but about Northern Exposure.

[tigereye]

28. oh I had such a thing for Chris!

the character was so poetic and naturalistic. But I also thought Ed was pretty cool, sort of like which Beatle do you like.


I really miss that show.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

29. Chris and Ed here, too...

:loveya:

[blue neen]

4. For some strange reason,

I always liked Ed the best. Maybe it was that strange combination of innocence and spirituality.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

6. Remember Adam?

hee

Ed and Marylin rocked. ALL the characters were so wonderfully amazing. Every one of 'em.

5. Andy Stephenson took me to Roslyn WA....

It was a lot farther than he thought...and I had no clue. But we persevered and made it there. Had lunch at The Brick. Nothing like the set on the program but a great bar with excellent burgers. Seeing the town was lots of fun. It is a wonderful memory of good times with a good friend.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

10. Awesome...

I have never had the chance to spend any significant time in NW. I'm glad you did... and I am glad that it was happy happy memories. :hug:

11. Where is Ruth Anne in that photo?

????

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

12. Oh YEAH!!!! Good call

Here she is, for good measure:



And this one, cuz I like it.

15. I went to college down the road from Roslyn

I remember the outcry when they added an apostrophe to "Roslyn Cafe" to make it seem like a "Roslyn" ran it, lol. But after the show ended, they restored it to form. It was a big boon to that town. We have a DUer who lives there now.

Had my college graduation lunch with family and friends there - also used to be a place called Village Pizza, don't know if it ever came back after burning down - but they had some of the very best pizza I ever had. Roslyn is a bit of a time warp.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

18. It it as charming as the show portrays?

I won't even ask if it's as beautiful. I have no doubt.

[Zomby Woof]

20. The main street is

And the surrounding mountains, to be sure. But outside of the main street, it is a normal small town - suburban houses and the like.

Very close to I-90, about 75 miles east of Seattle if you ever head that way.

[Madrone]

24. A DUer that lives there....

Well, I do believe that would be ME!! :D


Yep - Village Pizza is still here. New owners a couple of years ago- 206ers, I believe.

Heya, Zomby! :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

25. It is YOU

One of the VERY FIRST DUers I ever met in person! :D

And! I haven't heard the term "206er" since I went to Central! :rofl:

[Madrone]

26. I haven't heard 206er in awhile, actually.

Probably because there's more 206ers here than US! lol

I heard it a LOT when I first moved here. I squeaked in under the radar - since I'm a Michigander and not a "206er" or Californian they left me alone! *whew*

[tanyev]

16. Loved that show.

They always had the most excellent background music.

[wildhorses]

17. television at it's best IMHO

[Redstone]

19. Boy, did have a bad case of the hots for Janine Turner

back then. Have gotten over it, though.

Redstone

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

21. Can't say I blame you.

For the hots, not the getting over ;)

[libnnc]

22. *whew*...

some serious teenage lesbian, fantasy flashbacks triggered by that photo :blush:

[Redstone]

23. I will confess to a lifelong weakness for dark-eyed women.

And those bee-stung lips such as found in the picture you posted.

Yowsah!

Redstone

[mitchum]

27. Thanks for the photo!

I don't care that she's a Texas republican. I am willing to...uh...look past that

[tavalon]

30. Alas,

rabidly republican. Sad waste.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

31. Yes. It's a shame. Thankfully, it does nothing to diminish the quality of

that show.

[SoCalDem]

32. and now she does commercials for eye drops

:(
