I'm going to have to get the Blu-rays now.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

The Blu-ray set comes out on Tuesday and it's not cheap 89.99 currently.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

$85 and use MU23DEC for 25% off if you have to have it now. https://www.moviesunlimited.com/nort...s/810134946347

I'm sure it'll drop more.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Thanks for that. I went ahead and pre-ordered it and something else with that discount. I figure 60 something bucks is a fair price for it.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I ended up buying it with the 25% off code. That's about $10 a season.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

The Blu-rays are out today. They're supposedly MOD (manufactured on demand) so it might take them awhile to ship. Love Actually 4k was MOD and is hard to find. I just hope this set is better quality than Love Actually 4k. The 4k transfer for Love Actually is really bad.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Good price if the picture quality is good and the music is there. I want to jump on this but fool me once...

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Has anyone had their Movies Unlimited order ship? I did a guest checkout and I can't find my order on their website. They've charged my card already.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I called them and was told that Northern Exposure was on backorder. Amazon now has it in stock. I'll ask for a refund soon if it doesn't ship and just pony up the different for a copy from Amazon.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I emailed them and they responded pretty quickly that it was on backorder. I'm pretty sure it's MOD (Manufactured on Demand) like Love Actually 4k was and that's the cause of the delay.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

What is the usual waiting time for these MOD to be ready to ship? To be honest, I ponied up the higher price with Amazon since they have it in stock and I would like to watch Northern Exposure over Christmas break. Not knowing if Movies Unlimited will ship it out soon had me go ahead and order a copy from Amazon.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

If anyone was wondering what Rob Morrow is doing these days...

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I received this set today from Amazon and I'm pleased so far. Each season is in their own multi-disc case and none of them had a loose disc. There are subtitles and deleted scenes for many of the episodes. The video and sound quality is probably the best we will ever get and I'm happy with what I'm seeing in the pilot episode. This is such a quirky show but I enjoy it and will enjoy revisiting the entirety of this show over the next few weeks.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Good to hear. I'm still waiting on my backordered set.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I got sick of waiting and a bit skeptical. If it ever does ship then I'll figure out what to do.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I'll give them until next Friday. I'll cancel it if it hasn't shipped by then. They've already charged my card. I'm not happy about that.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Sorry to have potentially led you astray to order from them. I'm still hoping they ship mine out, as they've accepted my payment as well. They could at least give us a heads up as to when they might be shipping them out. That is if we are not two of a thousand that pre-ordered this from them.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

It's no worries. I didn't want to pay $100 on Amazon and Movies Unlimited was the best deal. Are you noticing any audio/video sync issues? Apparently the overseas Blu-ray set had sync issues.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I have fond memories when it first went into reruns airing on WPIX 11 in the 90's, watching it late at night while having hot chocolate and cookies in winter. The show was still on the air and this was around the time Rob Morrow was on the way out. I wasn't crazy about the early seasons of the show but it really found its own identity and it became a favorite. I especially liked the use of music and work from Anthony Edwards and Adam Arkin. Janine Turner lit up the screen like a young Audrey Hepburn. I thought she'd go on to bigger things but Cliffhanger seemed to be the pinnacle. After Morrow left and they brought in the new couple it just never clicked in the same way. Cool thing is last year I had a moose stroll through my yard, first time I've ever seen one in person. I immediately thought of the opening to Northern Exposure.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I'm about 3 episodes deep and haven't noticed sync issues yet. I'm pleased so far with it.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Good to hear. Thanks for the information!

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

At what point does Northern Exposure get good? I used to watch it in reruns, and it was a hilarious program about weird people.

But when I rented the first disk from Netflix, it was like watching Gilligan's Island. The only plot the first episodes had was that the doctor tries to escape every time, and he gets foiled again. I couldn't convince Mrs Danger to try another disk.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Season three won best drama series in 1992. I'm on season two right now and it's better than season one. I'm thinking season two or three. The final episode of season one is one of the highest rated episodes on IMDB.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I got my shipping notice from Movies Unlimited.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Mine just shipped too.
