DVD Reviews of Northern Exposure - The Complete Sixth Season
DVD Review: Completed set
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this Sixth Season as a gift for my daughter so she could complete her set. She is extremely happy with it and I was happy to have an easy shopping task to find it for her. DVD Review: Northern Exposure, sixth season
Summary: 3 Stars
The sixth season of Northern Exposure identifies why the series closed. The plots are too far out, the Maggie-Joel factor gone, the rest of the factions worn out. The tension is gone. Technically, the series is good.DVD Review: Still magical after all these years
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched the first three seasons of Northern Exposure when they appeared on TV and loved them. Recently I've been watching seasons 5 and 6 on DVD and am so glad that they are available. Sometimes shows aren't as good later as they were in memory so I wasn't sure how I'd like them now. I was so happy that I enjoyed them just as much, maybe even more than when they first aired. Maybe it's because the cast members had grown so deeply into their characters that their performances were extraordinarily natural and had a huge impact.
It was interesting to see how some of the characters matured, too. Maggie, for some reason used to annoy me in the early days, maybe because she and Joel were always fighting and that got old. Maybe because she made friends with the part of herself that was just like her mother. (The series is very psychologically hip.) Maybe it was just that she let her hair grow and was much softer and prettier! I was happy that Joel got out of town and left her free, finally, to find a guy who was worthy of her....the magnificent metaphysical Chris, who had to go through his own maturation process to deserve the lovely lady.
I thought that the writers did a heroic job of dealing with the departure of Rob Morrow. The culture clash of Fleischman with the Cecilians was the essence of the beginning of the show, but after a while the other characters developed and became so interesting that we didn't need to have Joel and his neuroses in our faces every week. The way his character developed in the final season and then faded away was masterful and quite moving.
And that's how life is---people come and go and life goes on. The new doc and his wife moved in and again I think the writers made a good choioe in the characters of Phil and Michelle Capra. They were from LA and had the same adjustments to make as Joel but in their own way which seemed softer and friendlier than poor old Joel. I think that, in time they would have fit in to the town and to the show very well. Too bad we'll never see that.
The season keeps the magic and heart warming moments and the humor. I loved the show that featured Ed trying to mother a bear cub...I found the way he tutored the cub in salmon fishing, all dressed up in fur, to be very dear. Ed seemed to mature a lot, physically at least, and in some shots he was startlingly handsome. It was nice to see a bit of the incomparable Adam although I would have liked to see more of Eve. It was lovely of the writers to give us a happy ending to the tortured violinist! The character of Maurice seemed to mature a lot, too. His one dimensional crassness opened up beautifully at times, particularly in his relationships with Ed and again with the violinist.
This series has got to be among the very best in American TV history--up there with Cheers, Taxi, Mary Tyler Moore and Knotts Landing--maybe at the top of the list.
DVD Review: Great series!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the entire series of Northern Exposure on DVD. One of the best shows ever on TV. Love the unique cast of characters; that's what really makes this show good. We drag it out every once in awhile to watch and it is always fun!DVD Review: Loved it! 6th Season
Summary: 5 Stars
Northern Exposure sure is a little bizarre at times but it keeps us guessing. I had forgotten so much of it from the days when we watched the series on TV. We started with season 1 and watched all 6. Now that we're done, we miss the characters.
Description of Northern Exposure - The Complete Sixth Season
Recipient of 39 Emmy nominations and winner of the Emmy and Golden Globe Awards for Outstanding Drama Series, Northern Exposure comes to an offbeat and inspirational conclusion. For this final season, newcomer Dr. Phil Capra (Paul Provenza) joins Dr. Joel Fleischman (Emmy nominee Rob Morrow), Maggie (Emmy nominee Janine Turner), Chris (Emmy nominee John Corbett) and the rest of the quirky citizens of Cicely, Alaska. Digitally restored for optimum picture quality, this must-own five-disc set includes all 23 beloved episodes and over 30 minutes of never-before-seen deleted scenes. See the finale of this groundbreaking, heartwarming adventure that's as stunning as the Northern Lights themselves!And so, the sun sets on Cicely, Alaska. While Northern Exposure somewhat jumped the moose in its last season, there are enough characteristically "weird, almost surreal" moments to make season 6 a nice place to revisit. The auspicious season opener, "Dinner at Seven Thirty," is a typically disarming and disorienting quirk fest that recasts the characters in a parallel New York universe. Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow) is married to a high society (and high maintenance) Shelly (Cynthia Geary), Maggie (Janine Turner) is their au pair, Ed (Darrin E.Burrows) is an Armani clad corporate raider, Holling (John Cullum) is a Piano Man, Ruth-Anne (Peg Phillips) is the leader of an internal medicine group, Chris (John Corbett) is an inarticulate fashion photographer, and Maurice (Barry Corbin) is the luxury-highrise doorman. "I'd rather practice medicine in some hick rural outback than stay here another minute," Joel rebels, returning things to what passes for normal in Cicely. Another early gem is "The Robe," with guest star Charles Martin Smith (American Graffiti) as no less than the Devil who tries to corrupt Shelly.
But then the series goes off the beaten path. Joel, following a bumpy courtship with Maggie, goes "Up River" to live in a remote fishing village (His final episode is the bittersweet, "The Quest," in which he departs for good for his "jeweled city"). Enter new doctor Phillip Capra (Paul Provenza) and his journalist wife, Michelle (Teri Polo), brie-eating yuppies from Los Angeles. < I>Northern Exposure remained a fish-out-of-water comedy, but these two characters are as bland as tilapia. Though not nearly the hard cases that a resistant Joel was, they, too, succumb to Cicely's charms, and by series' end, Michelle is having hallucinatory forest chats with Joel's former New York rabbi. Happily, the rest of the characters are still good company. Between Ruth-Anne and trapper Walt (Moultrie Patten) and Maurice (Corbin) and Officer Barbara Semanski (Diane Delano), love really blossoms this season. But as Iris Dement sings in the heartbreaking lament, "Our Town," which ends this series on a lovely grace note (and is one of the few originally broadcast songs to survive the transition to DVD), "Nothing good ever lasts." Northern Exposure lasted six seasons, which is good enough. To paraphrase a postcard Joel sends to Maggie in "The Quest," Cicely is a state of mind, and thanks to DVD, there is no need to "kiss it goodbye." --Donald Liebenson
