Summary: Not the "complete" season
Review: Northern Exposure fans have waited for years for this beloved show to be relased. We have stood by while really crappy television shows have been released left and right. Finally, we got what we were waiting for.

Well, not quite. While heralded as the "Complete First Season," it is not complete. It lacks the most important episode -- the Pilot. It is alright for someone like me who is intimately familiar with the show to just jump right in, but someone new to the show will be clueless without the pilot.

Otherwise, I reallly like the features of the DVD and the quality is excellent. The padded jacket (literally) is a strange cover, but appropriately quirky given the show.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Greed
Review: This was my wife's favorite TV show, so I was eager to pick this up. But 8 episodes for $41.99?! While Northern Exposure is a wonderful show, that price is absurd. A quick per-episode comparison with other great shows, based on Amazon prices at the time of this writing:

$5.25/episdoe for Season 1 of Northern Exposure (8 episodes)
$3.82/episode for Seasons 1 and 2 of Homicide (13 episodes)
$2.06/episode for Season 1 of The West Wing (22 episodes)
$1.87/episode for Season 1 of 24 (24 episodes, of course)

If nothing else Northern Exposure should have Seasons 1 and 2 bundled a la Homicide. It disappoints me to say this, but I can't bring myself to buy at these rates. I hope the studio will reconsider how the series is marketed. They are of course free to ask whatever price they want, but I hope they won't be rewarded for the price they've chosen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's about time
Review: I can't believe the DVD is finally here.
Can't wait for the rest of the series to come out.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Way over-priced for what you get!
Review: Just two discs containing the first eight episodes for HOW MUCH?

If this had contained of the first AND second seasons, which total just 15 episodes combined, it would be worth it, but as it is this DVD set is grossly over priced. Still a great show, though.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: too few of a great thing
Review: Awesome show! I've been waiting for a re-release like this for so long - alas only 8 episodes for $60 (okay $42) at Amazon - this is simply put - stupid. At least include the 7 episodes from season 2.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHAT THE HECK????
Review: OK, I love the show, so why only a one star review? The first season of Northern exposure was only eight episodes, so that is what you get in this package, eight episodes. The second season was only seven episodes, so if Universal decides to release the second season, it will be even shorter, at probably the same price point, which is unacceptable. Why they didn't release seasons 1 and 2 in one package for $40.00, (which is a much more reasonable price for 15 episodes) is a mystery. Wait, I solved the mystery. Greed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the complete first season
Review: WELL WORTH THE WAIT!

Summary: I'm so excited!
Review: I can't wait to get my hands on this disc set. Even if it is expensive for the episodes being offered, this is one of my few all-time favorite TV shows. The world of Cicely Alaska is so easy to fall in love with.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's about time!!
Review: I was overjoyed to see that my old favorite show will soon be available for my enjoyment on DVD. My tapes have long since disintegrated. Even though I was rather young when this show ended, I recall feeling a certain deep sense of loss, as though I had to find some other place to belong. There was always something intensly comforting about how real and human the characters seemed. Anyone who missed out on this amazing show the first time should get the DVD's. This show to me was what "Cheers" was to a lot of people. Also, it doesn't hurt that John Corbett is really hot! :) I'm looking foward to owning all the other seasons as soon as they come out.

Rating: 5 stars
