Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I did some searching and couldn't a thread devoted to Northern Exposure (There was a thread about the revival that never seemed to happen and someone asking about Joel), so I decided to start a Northern Exposure appreciation thread. I was visiting my parents over the weekend and the internet is really bad there. It was out for three of the six days I visited, so I started watching Northern Exposure on DVD again. I absolutely love this show. It's crazy that it's not available to stream in HD. When I was younger, my parents watched it all the time, but I never saw the appeal (I wanted to watch sitcoms on ABC) until I started watching it in my 20s. It's now one of my top 10 favorite shows of all time. The Mystery of the Old Curio Shop is my favorite episode. It was a great Maurice episode.

I also found this reunion video on YouTube.

I remember liking Northern Exposure well enough when I was a kid. It was my Mom’s favorite show so we watched consistently.

I haven’t given this show a second thought in 25 years or so though.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

During the pandemic, I watched my NE DVDs. Still enjoyable after all these years.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

This was released on Blu-ray, atleast.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Not in the US. The only ones I can find on the internet are region 2 Blu-rays.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Loved this show, and also Picket Fences. Both of those shows kinda disappeared over the years.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I rewatched a bunch of Picket Fences on Hulu at some point. It doesn't hold up so great.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I loved the show and purchased the first two seasons on DVD (with the parkas) and rewatched them a few years ago. Not sure why I never got later seasons, although the final season with the new leads is one I'll pass on.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Maybe you were like me and picked up the early seasons DVDs when they were super cheap on sale.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

We picked up (and watched) Seasons 1 & 2 at a flea market a couple of years ago, then found Season 3 at another flea market last year. It hasn't come back up in the rotation yet but when it does you can bet we'll be watching it. Such a quirky show...:thumbsup:

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

The generic music? That turned me off.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

The seasons are now available in the Apple Store in HD.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Thanks! I'm going to have to check them out.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I doesn't look like the pilot is on there. Nevermind. I couldn't see it on Apple TV, but I see it on iTunes.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

They now have the complete series on iTunes for $59.99. https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-seaso...1671?at=11laSw

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

It's on sale for $39.99 as of this morning.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

I'm buying it. Six seasons for $39.99 is a good deal.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Fantastic show. I was never really that much into buying DVD's but I'd say of the perhaps 2 dozen I have.. Northern Exposure is in there.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Any idea if the original music is intact?
Can't seem to find a straight answer online.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Not sure about the digital option, but the complete series Blu-ray from the UK has the original music.

I always loved this show. I was too young to watch during the original run but got hooked when they showed it in syndication on A&E.

I think this is the kind of show that would do great with a revival. Its tone and many of its stories have a very modern sensibility. Plus, the last season was a disappointment. It could use a better finish.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

The answer is most of the original music is present but not all. This is the best version we'll see in America as the only other way to get all the music if from Region B Blu-rays.If you have the DVDs this is a big update.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

People on the other site are saying the original music is there. I didn't watch it when it originally aired. So, i don't know what's original and what's not.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

They announced a revival years ago, but I think it went through development hell and never moved forward.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Complete Series is on sale at iTunes for $29.99.

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

Re: Northern Exposure Appreciation Thread
 

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.
