Summary: How long until we get seasons two through six?
Review: At last! Though many complain the price is a bit steep, I say the high-quality images and commercial-free episodes make the Northern Exposure Season One DVD worth the few extra bucks. I, for one, have happily shuffled my ancient VHS tapes of Northern Exposure (season 1 only for now!) off to the garage. If we can just get them to release seasons two through six.... Money talks, people. BUY BUY BUY!!!

Summary: I am very pleased with this DVD set.
Review: Initially I was a little suspicious when learning that there were only 8 episodes in this first season release. However, I have viewed the extra "unexposed" footage and the deleted scenes and must say that they are very satisfactory. I have had no troubles with the media and the visual quality of the episodes is fine. The packaging is very unique, and really expresses the tone of the show nicely. If you are a casual fan then I would say that this collection is worth while due to the excellent quality of the episodes in the first season. For "hard core" fans, the bottom line is that this edition is a must have. Overall, I think that alot of work went into this release and it really shows in the packaged product.

Summary: Best Series Ever--Cynical DVD Release
Review: It's wonderful to have Joel, Maggie,Chris, Maurice, Ruth Ann, Ed, the Brick gang and the Moose available on DVD. They've made us wait a long, long time for it. Many have commented on the excellence of this series, and they're right. That said, let's examine the faults of this DVD. What cynicism prompted makers of this DVD to include no insert to tell us about the series or, at the very least, what episodes are on which disk? What made them include ineradicable promos for shows in which many of us have no interest and will have to fast forward through forever? What made them think that charging $45 or more for eight episodes with the above deficiencies was ethical or moral or even good business? This DVD was put together by people who apparently have no concept of the spirit of this show and know only the greed of trying to bilk lovers of NE of more for less. Why didn't they at least provide a decent combined package of the early episodes to make it a reasonable value? As much as I love "Northern Exposure", this makes me want to boycott future releases if this is the way they intend to treat the fans. The cheesy parka the DVD comes in doesn't cover the multitude of sins the makers of this DVD have committed. They should be ashamed of themselves. OK, I'm a person who thinks there should still be decency in this world. Sue me. The fact remains that this is a series that had some of the best writing and character acting ever to be on television. Episodes are profound, lyrical, lighthearted, mystical, and tragic by turn and sometimes, miraculously, at the same time. It is an artistic and entertainment tour de force which shouldn't be interrupted by commercials or "previews". "Northern Exposure" deserves to be released by some company that respects it for the jewel it is instead of one whose greed and crassness take so much of the joy out of finally having some epiosodes on DVD. The series: AAA+++ The DVD: C-

Summary: Where's the pilot episode?
Review: It's on side 2 of the first disk that's where. The boneheads mislabeled the disks. I feel cheated - I watched it out of order.

Summary: I can finally put my old VHS tapes away.
Review: Yes this is only 8 episodes, and yes it's overpriced, but when a show the caliber of "Northern Exposure" comes out on DVD, you've got to cough up the cash. In a world with so much "reality" tv, it's nice to see all these unique characters interact in an environment that's probably closer to our own reality, or what some of us wish it was. Obviously this is great to see again, and it will take you right back to watching it the first time. The extras aren't too amazing, but between the deleted scenes, the outtakes, and the original episodes, you've got more than 6 hours of viewing. By the time it's over, you'll feel like you've been sitting in "The Brick".

Summary: Where's the Beef?
Review: I really love this show. I was so excited to see it out on DVD. My one disappointment is that there are only 8 episodes on the two disks. It was my understanding that the firrst season consisted of 16 episodes. Where are the other eight and is it reasonable to call this the "complete" first season without all the episodes? That issue aside - the episodes on te disks are fab!

Summary: EVEN BETTER THAN I REMEMBERED, cheezy theme song though
Review: let's face it. some people "don't get" this show. if you find american idol compelling to the point of discussing it the next day without any hint of sarcasm, then DON'T BUY NX.... it'll probably be WAY over your head. but if you're even remotely intelligent, artistic, philosophic, or human you'll really really dig, and should DEFINITELY BUY THIS. BRING ON SEASON 2. NOT IN A YEAR. NOW, PLEASE.

Summary: Great but Overpriced
Review: The first season is only 8 episodes but the sell price is the same as other television season DVD's that contain 22 episodes. Good stuff, but VERY overpriced!
