Fist, that script is priceless! I got tears in my eyes from laughing. An absolute delight.

Right??? How much fun can you have in a tv show???
And the episode that your quote refers to is another of my VERY favorites!!! The quote I gave in the first post of this thread is from that episode.
And here's an awesome quote that Chris gives at the end of another episode, from Marcel Proust's Swann's Way:
When from a long distant past nothing persists, after the people are dead, after things are broken and scattered, still alone, more persistent, more faithful, the smell and taste of things remain poised a long, long time like souls, ready to remind us, waiting, hoping for their moment amid the ruins of all the rest, and bear unfaltering in the tiny, almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection.

VERY favourites.... as opposed to just ordinary favourites Ahh the enthusiasm of the Haruchai
I love Northern Exposure and Im extremely disappointed that our Channel TEN, which is notorious for screening re runs after re runs of defunct TV shows, hasnt decided to do the same with this one.

Where NX is concerned, I can't think of an episode that isn't at least a normal favorite.

That's not right!! But at least you can get the first season on DVD now!

I haven't looked in this thread in weeks!!! THANK YOU, JOY!!!!! I had no idea!!! My local Suncoast store closed, so I'm stuck with Media Play. Same company, but Suncoast only did movies. They had intelligent people, both willing and able to help customers. Media Play is crapola.
Hmm, I should look for season 2 of Kung Fu too.

"Spring Break" Yes, I love that one, too. Been a while since I watched it -- will have to get that out.
It is surprising me how few episodes there are in this set. I've watched the 1st disk, only 4 episodes, and there are only 2 disks in the box. Come on, this is a whole season??
Had forgotten the full impact of how badly Maurice sings.

Maybe I'll give this show another shot. I loved the 1st season, but I thought it started losing it as it got more popular. Blockbuster ought to have it for rental.

Yay, Fist!! I'm happy for you. I'm happy for both of us. So far I've watched Shelley and her home shopping addiction, Chris-in-the-Morning get his voice stolen, and Ed's invisible friend.

Fist I must agree. I loved this show,. I used to watch to reruns on A&E everyday....I've kind of forgotten about it though, thanks for the thread to remind me how great it was.
