Summary: MAY 25TH!!!
Review: From TVShowsOnDVD.com:Fans have been eagerly awaiting this news since the July '03 report from USA Today that it was in-the-works. Today, TVShowsOnDVD is pleased to tell you that Northern Exposure - The Complete 1st Season will arrive on DVD this May 25th. The series premiered with a short 8-episode run in the Summer of 1990, an hour long "dramedy" about a Jewish doctor (played by Rob Morrow) who's deal to get paid up for medical school meant he had to go where he was assigned...in Alaska, since the state was the source of the money. Dr. Joel Fleischman is assigned in the end to Cicely, Alaska, a town full of strange but lovable characters including former astronaut Maurice J. Minnifield (Barry Corbin), a radio D.J. ("Chris in the Morning", played by John Corbett) with a strange outlook on life, Ed Chigliak (Darren Burrows )...and Maggie O'Connell, of course, played by co-star Janine Turner. Universal Home Video announced the DVD release of the debut season this morning, on a 2-disc (double-sided "DVD-14") set running at 384 minutes. List price is $59.98 for this set, which comes in a special limited-edition "Parka" packaging that is sure to be a collectible item. 4x3 video and English Dolby Surround Sound represent the original over-the-air presentation of this show, and on the DVD you also get French and Spanish subtitles to choose from. The discs are closed captioned for the hearing impaired, too. With such a short season, Universal didn't want to disappoint the fans with too short a DVD release, so they are adding some nice bonus material to this box set. Look for these extras: Deleted Scenes
Video Documentary Footage
Mock Movie Footage
"Unexposed" Footage This is a long-awaited, highly-anticipated release that fans have been clamoring for. Universal has delivered with a set that is sure to please everyone. Stay tuned, because we'll be back soon with pictures of the "Parka packaging" cover art.

Summary: Qwerkyness Squared!
Review: If you like brilliant writing coming from the qwerkyest characters ever put on screen, than this is the show for you! I stumbled upon this show years back while channel surfing and have sought it out ever since. Awhile back, A&E ran it every day, and there was a marathon that I taped, but of course it was VHS. Having had DVD for two years now, I just can't watch VHS or broadcast TV anymore. Apart from the obvious video quality and sound issues, the incredible ease of navigation and repetition abilities of DVD's make VHS tapes more obsolete to DVD's than dinosaurs are to humans; it is that drastic a quality difference! PLEASE, PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE release this brilliant drama/sitcom...IT DEFIES DESCRIPTION really, but you can't watch it for five minutes and not be a fan forever. The Northern Exposure fan base is huge. So speaking for Joel, Maggie, Maurice, Chris, Ed, Holling, Shelly, Marilyn, Ruth Ann, Adam, and Jesse the Bear; please release Northern Exposure so I can die a HAPPY MAN!!!

Summary: best tv show ever!
Review: Luckily I bought the first season from Heathrow airport while flying through London a few years ago. But for some reason, nothing further has been released on dvd. Why? WHY? I miss the wit and humor of this show. There's no substitute for Chris In The Morning =)

Review: Simply the most unique series. Quirky and heartwarming at the same time. I would gladly buy every DVD the studio would release.

Summary: One of the all time greatest TV shows !!
Review: Every couple months I search for Northern Exposure on the internet. I find the same things , but I also find more things. Interest is still growing. My suggestion for the studios is this: Release the series on DVD and make money. You will also make alot of people happy. Or don't, but have the guts to take a stand either way. Tell the fans now what the plan is. It will be gobbled up if released. Just look at the stuff people are buying. Northern Exposure had fine writng, interesting stories and a great cast. That's all I have to say because anyone reading this is most likely a fan already, but to those who are not in the know; if it comes out do yourself a favor and at least rent a couple discs, I strongly doubt you will be disappointed. Thanks for reading.

Summary: Best of the mid-90's
Review: I hope the studio releases season sets of this marvelous show. Throughout the years that it aired, it had an amazing cornucopia of characters where each entertained in their unique way. I catch reruns whenever I can.

Summary: A great show -- why can't they package it correctly?
Review: Like many others here, I've been waiting (patiently but anxiously) for the DVDs of Northern Exposure, my favorite show ever. And I was charmed, I'll admit, by the external packaging (the mini down jacket). But it's all downhill from there: * Package includes only two two-sided DVDs, despite the fact they're charging such a high price for just 8 episodes. * Episodes are completely out of order. The pilot episode, for example (which sets up the premise of the show) is on the reverse side of disc 1. * WHY WHY do they torment us with those darned previews? I UNDERSTAND why they include previews on a CURRENT movie release that they're going to sell to me cheap. But don't make us fast-forward through previews on a 13-year-old show that's being sold at a premium price!!! * IF YOU OWN A LASONIC PLAYER, READ THIS. Side 2 of Disc 1 is apparently unplayable on my all-region DVD player (a Lasonic DVD-8090: I receive a "data error"). This happened on two copies of the show. I returned my first copy assuming the disc was damaged; when my second copy also failed, I decided to test it on a standard player (where it worked fine). In all, a sloppy marketing and manufacturing job. Disappointing for such a great show...
