Rec. #161 (abbrev.): Northern Exposure, season 2


What: It's Alaska, it's the '90s, it's a critically-adored dramedy --- indentured NYC doctor, various eccentrics, once-a-year kleptomania, doc dumped by fiancee, visiting Russians, love, unexplained nightmares, lots of parkas, American Indian spirit guide, lost voice, death by falling satellite.

Representative quote: "It's 'Love Is Pain' day on KBHR. Music to soothe the shattered heart. Dedicated to you, Dr. Joel."

Bonus representative quote: "Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged."

[both from Chris Stevens, host of "Chris in the Morning" and voice of Cicely, Alaska]

Also: Northern Exposure, season one (Rec. #35)

And: Today, an Alaskan winter sounds just fantastic to me.
