Am so gonna start a NE thread sometime soon ... got very confused with season 2 as there was no indication that the DVDs were double sided, so I have missed half the episodes and am having to go back … but please, put me out of my misery and tell me this … Do Maggie and Joel EVER get it on (other than the full moon episode in season 1)??? …
Have you ever watched Wonderfalls? - Kinda reminds me of NE somehow (but slightly sharper) ...

Ahhh Zoot You know I'm a stickler for not giving things away.
Just rest easy knowing that this show will rarely disappoint. All the characters become so well fleshed out that they each develop plot lines that you want to know more about. It becomes intoxicating. You're in for a real treat.
(Well actually I say that but they haven't released anymore here have they? In the UK I mean? You are from the UK aren't you Zoot?)
I'm remembering things from the first time I saw it when it was shown on channel 4 back in the 90's. I just hope they do release the entire show - it's pure genius.

Firefly kicks ass. but im not sure if its my absolute favourite. there are plenty of other kick as shows out there;
Dark Angel.....why, why did they cut you.
Alias.....stoylines dont get much more convoluted than this.
stargate SG1.....not as consistant as it used to be but still worth a mention.
Buffy/Angel.....enough said.
Family Guy.....people should stop suing it and just enjoy it.
Star Treck.....as a whole, there were good episodes in all series(though enterprise wasn't up to standard)
Andromada.....good show, hard to get over herculies as a starship captain though.
I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how i soar

yes, Somnambulist, I am from the UK and I too have a vague memory of staying up late to watch Northern Exposure in the 80s (90s?) - sure I was at school but went to uni in 91, so I dunno ....
Acting only upon this vague and random memory, I ordered me series 1 and 2 and, oh wait, 3 (yes, just realised I'm actually watching season 3!!) from the US, region 1 - having said that you can buy the DVDs pretty cheaply on Amazon UK ...
The only draw back is you need either a multi-region DVD player (which most people have now anyhoo) or, like me, an apple on which to play region 1 in good quality coupled with a DVD player for region 2 …

Firefly is definitely in first, followed by the new Battlestar Galactica which i'm enjoying immensely.
Others include:
Buffy/Angel - (Goes without saying, although i much prefer Angel)
Stargate SG-1/Atlantis - (Ah, the TV equivalent of a popcorn flick. All good fun.)
Alias - (Very interesting.)
The 4400 - (Very good first season, absolutely cracking second season.)
Spaced - (The best comedy. Ever. I strongly suggest all of you check this one out. Hundreds of film references and homages, most of them Star Wars (very funny episode where the main character loses his job at a comic book store, because he shouted and swore at a little kid who wanted a Jar-Jar doll). Also some Buffy/Angel references.)
Dead Like Me - (Loved the cynical humour.)

Firefly is my favorite canceled show of all time. Andy Richter Controls the Universe is my second favorite canceled show.

You know I used to have a mac that did multi region, but I gave it to my mum and bought myself a Minimac for my flat and now they only let you change the region four times, then you're stuck with the region you last decided on FOREVER!!!!
So I don't do it, and am now patiently waiting seasons 3-6 on region2 or whatever it is we got here!!!
Anyway i share much of those memories of watching Northern Exposure. In my family it was 'my' show, as nobody else bothered, so I'd tape it then watch it when everyone had gone to bed. I'd be kept company by my ever loyal and trustfull border collie and we'd both be on the bean bag watching it. Yeah real fond memories...... :)

yeah, my show like that was MASH ... I can remember being allowed to turn the TV on to watch it (otherwise no TV on school nights) - very exciting ...
Incidentally I think those years of deprivation are the reason why I’m so obsessive about my TV/ film watching now!! So ha! Mother! Look at your legacy to the world, look at it!!!!
So are there 6 seasons of NE?? Only seen 1-3 on DVD …

Yeah I think there were six ? I can't recall exactly but once it ended my tv watching went down to zero.... Then this fellow called Joss came along with something he called Buffy the Vampire Slayer....
