DVD Reviews of Northern Exposure - The Complete Fifth Season
DVD Review: Still magical
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the show when it came out on TV and watched the first four seasons that way. Then I missed the last two seasons so I was really happy to see that they came out on DVD. The impact of the original show may have lessened a little over the years but it is still well worth watching. Chris, the Jungian-quoting, ex-con DJ is one of the best characters ever created on TV, IMHO. All of the others are still shining too--Maggie seems softer and sweeter with her hair grown longer. Fleishman is still Fleishman--annoying and neurotic but he has some nice moments, too. Holling and Shelly have expanded their family. Ed is always adorable and in this season he gets the call to become a shaman. RuthAnn gets a boyfriend. Maurice, the guy we love to hate has some heart-opening moments, too.
There is the usual departure into the realm of the supernatural which always gives this series its special charm. Ed meets a tiny green man who represents "self-deprecation"--He's very funny as well as instructive. The whole show is so wise and human and funny and touching---probably the best TV series ever. How great to be able to watch it over and over on DVD.
DVD Review: Furious
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently purchased this video set, and like so many others, was APPALLED
at the replacement soundtracks. I really didn't expect it would be THAT bad. There were episodes in which the final track GREATLY added to the emotional impact of the theme, particularly in the second episode of Season 5. I had waited for THAT moment and heard nothing but Musack. This production debacle is INEXCUSABLE. If you are a true fan, don't bother puchasing these pathetic "reproductions."
DVD Review: Love it! Northern Exposure 5th Season
Summary: 5 Stars
Love it! We started with Season 1 and watched our way thru. ...now that we're thru them all, we kinda miss the characters.DVD Review: Extremely disappointed - DVD's did not work
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought all of the Northern Exposure DVD's for my daughter, who loved this television show. I don't believe that she had a problem with the 1st Season; however, I bought the rest of the seasons and was giving them to her for birthdays and Christmas (one at a time). I realize that it is partially my fault for not watching them as soon as I got them, but I always felt that it was a bit 'tacky' to open a gift and view it before you gave it away. Anyway, by the time I gave the DVD's to her, it was too late to return them. She has opened three of them, and each of them have a problem with stopping during the DVD so it is impossible to view it. I tried to return one and was told that it was too late, so ordered another one for her. She went to China with the Peace Corps and did not have the time to view it before she left, so I opened it and viewed it. Same problem...and once again...too late to return it. I have never been disappointed with anything I have bought through Amazon.com before, but would highly recommend that you NOT buy this product. I can't imagine that it is just the ones that I bought that do not work....DVD Review: No French subtitles
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a fabulous show...a wonder of freshness and originality, a joy to watch. So my complaint is rather small, especially compared to the missing music:
I found Seasons 1-3 to be a wonderful aid to working on my French vocabulary and reading ability. Even without a French soundtrack, the subtitles were a great resource. I was completely blindsided by their disappearance after Season 3 (although the product descriptions accurately reflects this).
Description of Northern Exposure - The Complete Fifth Season
Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 11/14/2006Welcome back to Cicely, Alaska, where whimsy and magical realism are always in season. While Northern Exposure's heart is as big as all outdoors, its charms are starting to wear a little thin in its penultimate season, particularly John Cullum's New Age-y DJ McDreamy, Chris (one longs for that season 1 episode in which he lost his voice). But there is compensation in such sweet, unexpected moments as the one in "A River Doesn't Run Through It," in which bush pilot Maggie O'Connell (Janine Turner) finds the tape recorder of Dr. Joel Fleishman (Rob Morrow), who is out in the field, and, missing his voice, sits down to listen to one of his tapes. The long-awaited thawing of what Joel calls their "bizarre" relationship is this season's biggest development. Their efforts to "go out" and be nicer to each other are frustrated by such nuisances as a dust-mite allergy ("Mite Makes Right"). Another blessed event is the birth of Shelley's (Cynthia Geary) so-called "Little Pooper," but not before she freaks at impending motherhood ("Baby Blues") and has a series of laundromat encounters with her future child at different stages in her life, from Barbie-playing adolescent to aspiring Dallas Cowboy cheerleader ("Hello, I Love You"). Aspiring young filmmaker and shaman Ed (Darren E. Burrows) finds himself at a crossroads in "Rosebud," one of his better episodes, in which he is charged with organizing a film festival to put Cicely on the map. Peter Bogdanovich, as himself, regales one and all with his Orson Welles stories, and encourages Ed to finally make a movie. A quintessential love-it-or-hate-it Northern Exposure episode is "Mr. Sandman," in which the Northern Lights cause the residents to swap their dreams. The season ends on a heartwarming grace note with "Lovers and Madmen," in which Joel, who has always kept himself aloof from the close-knit community (in "Rosebud," he resists joining the volunteer fire department), at last accepts that he has become a "Cicelian," after discovering a frozen wooly mammoth. Too bad the series couldn't have ended here before finally jumping the caribou in its last season. --Donald Liebenson
