Northern Exposure: 1st & 2nd Seasons
- Who's watched: M & G
- Mentions: *1* *2* *3* *4*
- Commentary: You already know a lot about our love affair with this series. We finally saw the pilot, yes, another one of those. We were not disappointed.
My mother loves the moose. I notice that Janine Turner's name appears against the moose in a particularly gawky stance. Interesting.
This time, guys, I'm sticking, for the most part, with Wikipedia write-ups for my title links. This title covers two seasons, so I've linked the general Wikipedia write-up for the entire series. Here are the pages for the 1st season and 2nd season.
And, by the way, yes, when we obtained the 1st and 2nd seasons, we received them almost immediately after they were released, so we received them in the zippered down jackets. I can't believe the company creating the dvds for sale didn't continue this. It was not only exciting to order those seasons, it was a pleasure to receive them. I remember my mother holding and feeling the jacketed packages, zipping and unzipping them and smiling, and saying things like, "Isn't that clever!" and, "I hope the person who thought of this was well paid."
Of course, this delightful packaging was abandoned by the oligarchs who oversaw the entire dvd sale campaign. Of course. Don't delight the plebes. They might realize it's possible to enjoy life and have a little fun.
Geez. Please let plutocratic capitalism fail soon. And, no, it wasn't capitalism that made this appropriate and fun dvd jacket. It was some lowly, much less well paid than her or his overseeing oligarch employee who happened to enjoy and believe in the series ... and, as soon as this delight was detected by the oligarchs, well, it was quashed. Of fucking course.
