Same here! Have been watching it every night for 2 weeks - sometimes 2 or 3 episodes a night!

I was so excited to find it on Amazon Prime! I've already watched through the series almost 3 times. ♥

Is it HD quality and do all the seasons have the original soundtrack? On DVDs only the first season has the right songs, all the other ones have generic music instead.

​@@persereika7401I've never seen the original on TV or the DVD version, but I know that wiki says the DVDs used elevator music and what's streaming is not elevator music. I think it's mostly original music. I watch with closed captioning on always and there were only a couple of times when I noticed that the lyrics on the screen didn't match the lyrics I was hearing, which makes me think that the closed captioning was the original music and they changed the music in those few places.

I'm pretty sure that it's the original soundtrack that's on Amazon.@@persereika7401

awhh man hope u doing good im 20 and i just started watching it

🙏 ✌ ❤

The show had such a magical reverence for life too. Sorry about your wife. It's a beautiful show.❤

I think the population was higher. Just watched the election episode 😂

They lived imaginary life like it's lived in reall life in smal Bosnia towns.

I always argue with people that NORTHERN EXPOSURE is a better series than THE SOPRANOS.

@@bobbymann6609both are great in different ways

Schitt's Creek is a bit like this. It has the same quirky and supportive feel.

I assume that the cost of licensing the music is a big reason why the show has not been in syndication for many years.

As always greedy music corporations ruin everything

I was going to write that but a little more cynically, because basically two of the people on the panel are a creator who stole the idea from somebody and a guy who spent half the show trying to get out of his contract. How bad the creators were was that their NEXT show was literally to have, what was it, a doctor in a caribbean location or something. I call that the Star Trek effect, people love the actors but couldn't recognize a writer on the street, and as you say, this was writers, pure and simple. I find that with Star Trek as well, conventions talk to the 'talkiing props' and yet the themes and symbols and metaphors are never discussed. Most of the writers went on to big careers because they were obviously great writers. Sadly when they talked about a reboot all they talked about were the main characters and not even Marilyn. It was very much a group show, even a TINY bit too much about Fleishmann and you'd want the guy eaten by a bear. But yeah, music is always a pain in the butt. For the FIRST run they are always accomodating. I still hold a grudge against Pink Floyd becaues the guy who did WKRP said that they got 17 seconds of "Dogs" for three thousand, but when it came time for syndication they wanted a HUNDRED and three thousand and this was just ten years later. And even now the Shout Factory put together a DVD and the one holdout was Pink Floyd so now the only decent copy of the show has them playing a 'soundalike', and of course nothing 'sounds like' Pink Floyd. This had John Cale, Lyndsey Buckingham, the stones, and on and on, so that would be a small fortune. But I think you can watch it on KZfaq, do people actually watch television anymore?

That's amazing, this show really is art.

Ive been to roslyn a lot and camped on the sam lesac river

So enjoyed your fine post. This show is much beloved!

Medicine Hat was the nearest town for us squaddies. A delightful place, since I spent every evening there, I think as the other lads had to go on Warfare exercises. The next time, I was with the guy Obediah, and other lads we travelled to Regina , that weren't bad, into Montana too, scenic but one place we went to folk didn't wanna know us! Still spending a night on top of a mountain in Banff, with the firewatcher, now that was good, I'm 66 yrs do you still have these folk? Or has technology been introduced? 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards.

We should plan a trip for die hard fans😊I’ll bring the bagels and good tunes.

Me too!!!! Cicely is the best fictional town.

Boy, you hit on the important characteristics that others aren't mentioning that, to me, are what made it a stand-out and unique.

🧐 i went to dr. fleishman's high school. bronx science.

Mine, too! I love BritComs, but NE is my favorite US show of all time.

I just bought the whole series in a box set. Loving it 🥰

Mine too. Favorite show of all time, period. And I'm 61 yrs old. I still wear my "Chris in the morning" t-shirt.

Unfortunately the episodes on that site are inexplicably sped up.

@@LanceAnderson77 kind of like the Whitehouse

Only took 6 years!

At long last it's on Amazon Prime!! 🙌🙌

I don’t want a reboot, I just want the originals to be available in their entirety ANYWHERE!

@@emilywhittaker9414 Northern Exposure and Picket Fences. People just don't know how good ..

@@emilywhittaker9414 Amazon Prime has all 6 seasons free!

@@emilywhittaker9414they’re on Prime now!

Part of the appeal also was the setting and the cinematography. Plus, Alan Arkin as the always barefoot, ex-CIA, master chef was always a scene stealer. I wished he or a character like him had his own show.

yu stu Adam Arkin. Alan was his father.

grazzi, I always get their names mixed up

Kitt Tenn I miss the show to . Love watching John Corbett in anything loved him

@@MtlCstr LOL, Alan still is his father.

I finally tracked down the cd that has that song and bought it just for that song , but they’re all good.

Oh my God the first time I heard that I cried my eyes out

Same here🥰

Uhm, would you marry me? Please? :) I'll be your Fleuschman, you can be McConnel, if your avatar picture is actually you, your even prettier than her!! Can't wait to get the Blu-ray with the full music . . .

Darren Burrows This will get yo to Darren who's heading up a reboot.

Ochoreba I am glad there is.someone else like me in this case :) I finish the last episode of season 6 and watch everything all over again. I'll tell you what it is. ... Its magic :)

Are you watching the VHS or the DVDs? Because the original music is not used in the DVDs. If it streams, I hope it come on from the original. It's one of the greatest shows I've ever seen, but without the original soundtrack, it does lose something.

If it streams or is converted to blu ray, they will either replace much of the music, or have to pay through the nose to get it...as the contracts were not written with DVDs, streaming, etc, in mind, thus the music was only included for broadcast only. This, I think, is the only reason it hasn't been around much. It would be awesome if other '90s shows like ER made a comeback somewhere on streaming also.

@@fimnorawestcaw5307 Oh yes. The music was perfect. Whoever chose it was very talented.

Me too

Thank you for asking this.

agreed,,,i would wait with anticipation for Marilyn or Ed to say something....they would always make my night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burn down your town in protest

@@Dog.soldier1950 you're gettin' a BIT Dramatic!! but I would've loved to see Marilyn!

@@Dog.soldier1950 Overturn the next election - Trump will come with you to the capitol next time - he promises. Believe me.

Oh yes, now I remember that episode! I couldn't stop laughing it was so silly.

classic to say the least, have the dvd and it shows deleted scenes of the different reactions Rick has as its about to hit him😆

Agreed. Up there in my classic loves with M*A*S*H. Best show ever! But time marches on…

This, and the Sopranos

Yes right out of left field a fabulous make you feel good show

And M*A*S*H

I can believe it. I played up in Juneau for six weeks back in the late ‘80’s. I lived in Seattle for thirty years. I also played at Janine’s 30th birthday party at her home in Redmond. As they say you either love Alaska or you hate it, there’s no middle ground. I always felt that a writer or others had to have spent some time up there. The first night we were there we had a bear on our front porch. Since I was playing at a club out by the airport called the landing strip I got to know many of the residents. We were picked up at the airport by this guy named Bob. He pulled up in a big 60’s Cadillac. While he was driving us out to the band house he asked us if we wanted a beer. We declined but he had one. I asked him what he did for a living? He said I’m the chief mechanic for Alaskan Airlines. I said so you’re off today? He said no I’m working. Our drummer said they have squirrels up there that are black, weigh 400 pounds and kind of look like a bear. 😆 I’m glad I had the experience but it takes a certain kind of person that wants to live there. If you’re into the outdoors you’ll be OK otherwise you’ll end up an alcoholic.

Wait what? I want to know more! :D

Was there like an Astronaut there? :)

I feel like I've seen you leave this comment on just about anything I've read or watched about NE whether on KZfaq, Reddit, and elsewhere. You must really need attention.

Serg Orton I agree completely Northern Exposure is the best television series EVER

Some shows that rival it: Twin Peaks Lost 24 Game Of Thrones (blows everything away) But Northern Exposure is great,and one of my favorites of all time.

KM...75, All the shows You list had Killings & Violence & Gratuitous Backstabbing, just what the Avg usa viewer wants. Northern exposure had Loss dealt with in Caring Evolved ways. Be Well!

Even the DVD's are not fully part of the original show. Something about the music that was played. They didn't have the rights when the DVD were released. So am guessing that is the reason why it is not streamed. With Waltons and LHOTP, the music was produced specifically for those shows So no rights had to be acquired.

They did, on Sundays, for awhile.

I'm Scottish. In my teens in the early 90s one channel showed American programmes (shows) like 'Little House', 'The Waltons', 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea', 'Time Tunnel', 'Land of the Giants', all on a Sunday, and I watched them all. They took my mind off the knowledge that I had to go to school the next day. 'Northern Exposure' was my favourite, but it was on very late, about 11pm if I remember rightly, on Wednesdays. I haven't seen a single episode since it ended.

@Mac Tex flex capacitor It's not because of the artists or the band, it's because of the record companies and publishers that hold those publishing rights. The artists themselves don't get a say in it. Those publishers only see what money can be made, that's their sole goal, not what is best for everyone. It's why there was such a long wait for the DVD's to release and even and even a question of IF the later seasons would release. It's happened to so many shows from the pre-DVD era. DVD rights weren't a thing when the shows aired, so the publishers decided they could cash in on it. Nowadays it's different but not back then.

@@Michael-ns1ey - I used to watch The Waltons, too. During those days, it seemed like every show on TV was a cop show or "Emergency" - nothing but guns and loud sirens. While my sisters were in the living room watching the cop shows, I'd retreat to the den to watch The Waltons -- the only quiet show on TV with no guns or sirens! ;^)

She's crazy now!

She’s sooo beautiful

She looks very different, to me. Her face doesn't have that 'pointyness' anymore. 'Joel' looks exactly the same. 'Shelley' looks better :)

Stunning

Turner is a religious lunatic. She thinks Sarah Palin is just awesome. Let that sink in.

I'll bet they do, there is money to be made by catering to the older crowd who may have followed the series.

@@dehoedisc7247 Crazy. I was 20 when this show started, now I'm in the "older" crowd who may have followed the series. Jebus! I'm almost 49... LOL!

Been there and loved it

Roslyn is real town and always was ! Not built as a fake movie set.

@@dehoedisc7247 no,store fronts,buildings are all original,no sets.the enterior of the Brick though was shot in a studio.the radio station still stands in the 1800 building it was filmed in.many of downtown buildings are from 1850s.i know,i live here

​@Steve Austin Perhaps reread my comment. I was referencing the brief roles (aka "bit parts") done by individuals who were not well known at the time, e.g. Jack Black or Anthony Edwards (as was indicated in the video).

Same here.

Yessss!!

I worked on the show from the 7th to the last episode and Janine Turner was even better looking in person than on the show, and had a sweet manner of speaking and smiling at everybody, hard worker, and everybody liked her in the cast and crew alike ... Once, we were at the airstrip and I was the same height as Barry Corbin so was standing in while they lined up the next shot with Janine as they cheated the camera, that is, instead of moving everything 180 degrees to get the opposite actor's view, they just move the camera a few feet so the other actor's background looks different ... standing inches from her face (actors stand unnaturally close to each other to be in frame) I decided to tease her a bit. I said, Ugh ... and she said, I know, I hate cheating ... and that gave me a chance to say, Yeah, I can never keep my story straight, either ... to this, she blushed a little and said: Oh, you MEN! ... with a big smile and I had made her day a little more fun, so it made my day ... You really do stand around a lot waiting for setups ...

@@daviddewitt9365 What was your job on the show? I heard she was capable of some real serious tantrums on set. Not as bad as Rob but still they both had developed a reputation by the second season for being primadonnas

My great grandparents and 2nd Great Grandparents lived and raised family there. I did not know this fact at the time in the 1990's, that my musician first husband and myself chose to limit all of our t.v. and movie entertainment to 1 sit com choice each with an occasional VHS rental. We stuck to that for years and kept the same choice each so as to free up time for friends, family and projects. My choice was Northern Exposure. I finally got to visit Cle Elum around 2007, where one of my ancestors is buried. Sadly, I was on a work schedule and did not have time to make it to Roslyn. Of course, I mean to make it back someday to visit all of my ancestors gravesites. And of course I agree with every fan here, that Northern Exposure was magical and a wonderful, relaxing treat to be entertained with each week. Seems I have an extra connection. Perhaps that is why I took my one choice for a sit com to pick Northern Exposure?

The whole series recently got added to Prime Video.

missed the 'm' by two keys

I wouldn't have guessed it would play in Spain.

@@angelatrinh1156 Huge success indeed.

stjudeprayer7 Ruth Ann.

The series isn't replayed because of music rights issues.

Does it take you back? It does me!

Yeah I think the other series was about doctor interns in the Caribbean...

That's how shows used to be.. You had shows that represented real life people and nobody complained about their race.. This show had natives with westerners and they just lived with each other, no talking about invasions etc.. So many shows were like that.. But it all changed around 7 years ago during Obama when everything was polticol and everything became about race.... Watch the show "The Pretender" which is about the most feel good action show every made.. Just look into lots of shows from back then.. I have given up on knew shows now becsue of the poltics so now I just buy other shows and watch them.. Now I get joy from watching shows like I used to instead of getting mad at the rubbish they insert.
