Title: Welcome To Cicely
Review: Northern Exposure is a rare, truly original series. The show follows the experiences of transplanted New Yorker, Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow) in the Alaskan town of Cicely, where the citizens are some of the strangest people on earth. Joel is baffled by the quirks and oddities of locals and it doesn't get any better for him as he is bound for four years of indentured service as repayment for a loan to go to medical school. Despite the quirks, the people of Cicely are warm and caring people. Its that soft undertone that helps keep Northern Exposure from tipping over the edge of being just plain weird. The only drawback to the collection is that since the first season was a midseason replacement, it is a scant eight episodes. It would have been nice to see this and the second season packaged together.
