Rating: Summary: Finally!!!! Review: Great DVDs, loved the show and still do. Dissapointing that there is no more info. in the packaging than there is. I would have traded the parka for some liner notes, a booklet and something to show the content of the DVDs. Also a little pricey, but nonetheless, worth the expense. I just hope the remaining seasons are released soon. Great quality. Since there is no longer anything worth watching on tv, it's nice to have these DVDs, one of the best tv series ever!
Rating: Summary: Thank goodness it's finally here! Review: This DVD release can be reviewed in two different ways, on one hand, if based solely on the production and packaging of the disc(s) themselves I might only give it 3 stars. I think they could have put more effort into liner notes, maybe a booklet with some more info/pictures, an insert to tell what is contained on what side of what disc, and they could have done without the parka silliness. On the other hand, these discs contain Season 1 of the most wonderful show that I've ever had the pleasure of watching (over, and over again!) so how can it rate anything less than 5 stars. The picture quality is great, the sound is great and all of the extras are pure gravy. I just hope that releases for seasons 2 thru 6 come without too much delay. I'll buying each one immediately upon release, without hesitation.
Rating: Summary: Only the best Review: It is about time that one of the best TV shows of ever came out on DVD. Such a richness of characters, such high production value. There isn't much better
Rating: Summary: Made Me Remember Why I came to Alaska Review: I just wanted to say that I am so happy that they finaly released Northern Exposure on DVD. I have waited so long, signed petitions, called Universal Studies. This truly is one of the greatest television series of all time. I became a fan my first year in college at Central Washington University which is located near Rosalyn Washington. I now live in Anchorage and after I began to watch the series again I have much more appreciation for the show. I highly recommend this series. Look forward to Season 2 coming out!
Rating: Summary: Surprised by the language Review: We have been waiting for the Northern Exposure series on DVD for a long time. Unfortunately we were very surprised and embarassed to hear the "F" word so many times while watching the out takes with our teen agers. The series is great and I was going to buy the DVD for my parents who also love the show but I won't be doing that now. Very disappointing.
Rating: Summary: What a great show Review: I used to look forward to Mondays. It was when the show aired. Now I can watch all those wonderful episodes again. Being new to the dvd thing, I was surprised at the color and quality of the shows I have watched so far. The other aspect that I am enjoying is watching the parts that got left on the editing floor, and never got the chance to see. I think this is a must have for your collection.
Rating: Summary: High Price = Music Clearance; Not Greed Review: As most of you who are interested in buying this set already know, Northern Exposure is a great television show. The sharp intelligence of its creators is evident in every aspect of the production: from the characters to the wonderful music. The DVD set features amazing visual quality, nice extras and ALL THE SONGS FROM THE ORIGINAL BROADCASTS. This is no small feat. Remember, there are great shows from the same era released on DVD (i.e. Wiseguy, Felicity, etc.) that have not been able to secure rights to songs that were crucial to their original success. Northern Exposure is more dependent on the original soundtrack than other shows. For example, during a single episode included in this set, "A Kodiak Moment," the music ranges wide: from an aria from Verdi's "Rigoletto" to "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Glen Campbell to Shep & The Limelights' "Daddy's Home." All that in one episode, and it's all here on DVD. Yeah, it's an expensive set. But Universal should be praised for taking the time to do right by the show, especially for spending the money to secure the music. That is what we, as consumers, are paying for and it is worth it. Wait a couple of months until the set is discounted, but please do not let the price of this set sway you from owning a wonderful piece of television history.
Rating: Summary: FINALLY! Review: The best TV show ever created is back!!! We are thoroughly enjoying the series again and anxious for season 2's release!
Rating: Summary: Just loving it Review: I picked up my copy of the first season of Northern Exposure from circuit city for 34.99 I absolutely love it and find myself laughing the whole way through each episode like they are new. I don't care that by some people it's over priced (don't buy it then and don't complain) or that there is no episode list on the back. I love the box/jacket it comes in and I love the show. I am freaking out that I will have to wait too long for more seasons to be released.
Rating: Summary: At long last Review: It's amazing how fast I went through almost eight hours of episodes I last saw in the late 1990s on A&E. Just hope Season 2 is not far behind. The episode titled Slow Dance, which closed Season 2 so beautifully, always seemed to me a turning point of greater significance in the series. It would have made a nice ending to the initial DVD release. Is it just me, or are Sides 1 and 2 mislabeled on everybody's discs? Just wondering. I popped in Disc 1 and watched 10 minutes of Episode 3 before I realized I was out of sequence.
