Actually, I accidentally was listening to an easy-listening radio station 
last week and I heard it too.  I just figured that it was muzak at first, 
but then I realized that it really was the title song.

If anybody knows about this, please post it so the rest of us can find 
out about it too.  Also, if you find out where to get it, please ask if 
it's also available in Canada.  We often lag behind the U.S. in album 
launches and the like.  Merci.

That's basically it.  Northern Exposure started on Australian TV
about 3 December 1992.  I'm going to keep the airdates on Australian
TV, and will post to a.t.ne occasionally.

Hey Jim,

  Nifty idea.  Only two hours on a CLV laserdisc, so you'd need to edit 
together the "right" scenes, and have the disc pressed.  I'd rather use a 
controlled VCR, like a NEC PC-VCR or Panasonic 1960.  But that's another 
discussion entirely; EMail me to discuss further...

  If anyone from the show reads this group, they do not participate.  They 
did, however, answer questions on Prodigy recently, which I posted to this 
group about a week ago.  If its expired I can send it to you.  Don't know 
about the archiving.

It is a lost cause, but since when has that stopped us?  Our local paper
had an article in the travel section about the frontier towns and Alaskan
history that provided the nebulous base for Cicely, and if the issue
didn't get recycled, I'll try to post a summary.  Other than that,
I was fooling around looking at the Alaska data in my new PC USA 
program, and found that relatively little of the state is above 3000
feet elevation.  Our best bet is the mountainous corridor between
Anchorage (south central) and Fairbanks (east central, on the banks of
the Yukon River).  But that doesn't explain how a body could wash
up from the ocean, hmmmmm?

Another note:  in 1988, the state had about 700 doctors, one for 
every 800 people.  Unfortunately, they also had about one person
per square mile population density (1990 census figures).  The 
population bell curves around the ages from 5 to 45, with
a much smaller elderly population than most states.  The average
high in the summer is in the mid-sixties, and during the months
of January and February, it rarely breaks freezing (that's in
Juneau, which just a little south and way east of Anchorage).

Anyway, playing with the map data was my mental health break 
yesterday, for what it's worth.

Sorry this is so late!

Anchorage is a port and by the sea. Seas exert a moderating influence over
the local environment making them cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter.
Hence you would expect Anchorage to have an advantage over an inland place
like Grand Froks North Dakota! On the other hand NEXP does not take place
in Anchorage and as far as I know it is inland from the sea (I'm not a NEXP
guru I only want to grow up to be one!) Thus the temperatures there should
be much colder - Siberian probably. So I for one do find it strange.

Yes, there is a soundtrack. The soundtrack is simply the soundtrack to
Northern Exposure. There is also a "gift package" set; if you by a CD,
sometimes, the CD will also have a NX T-shirt (this set costs $25
whereas the CD is $14). I will admit some of the music on it was not
what I had expected; I preferred some different music that I thought
Chris would play. Instead the next to last song on the soundtrack is ...
Frederica von Stade singing Bailiero from Chants d'Auvergne. (This song
lasts about 5-6 minutes.) There are some really neat songs on it though,
but that's my opinion.

I will look for the JCPenney's KBHR shirt when I get home.

Can someone also send me a recent copy of the FAQ? Please send me a
warning message first so I can respond to the first person who has a
copy. And will someone be posting the "1992 Best NX Quotes"?

Thanks.

They should have more than enough episodes of this one hour show to run on

I saw the ad too (in "Variety?") and the photo is from the press release
package sent out a long time ago by Pipe Line productions.  I have seen the
picture in TV Guide a few times.

As for the population, Exec. Producers Joshua Brand and John False have stated
that when Joel first arrived at Cicely, the population of the town was 839. 
Why 839?  Because CBS was "paying" them $839,000 an episode, way below the
normal fee for an hour show shot on location (meaning not Hollywood).  All it
was was an inside joke.  Now the population is around 900 (860 sounds good to
me).  I believe he stated the population in "Things Become Extinct," or maybe
not.

         I have a question regarding Mike and why he was able to represent
    Chris at his hearing.  I'm not a legal expert, but isn't it true that
    one must pass the ABA exam of that particular state before being
    allowed to practice there?  (Just a little something I learned from
    "Cousin Vinny").  I'm asking because it seemed that the person
    representing West Virginia seemed hoplessly inept.  Considering his
    hatred of Chris for just being a Stevens, I would think he would try to
    use just about any means at his diposal to try to halt Mike's defense. 
    Maybe he just didn't think he could lose.

         I think I might have the answer to my own question.  Is is that:
    a) this was just an extradition hearing, and not terribly important
    b) Alaska doesn't require an ABA exam
    c) since the judge was only coming through this area and going to stay
       for a short while it didn't matter that Chris didn't have "proper"
       representation.
    d) this matter will be brought up as an appeal in a later episode  (I
       kind of like the idea of a ghost from Chris' past in West Virginia
       haunting him in Alaska.)
    e) I'm delving too deep in such a minor point.  I really need something 
       else to occupy my time with.

         I know Mike brought this question up when he asked Maurice why he
    didn't hire someone from the lower 48.

         I loved the show.  I thought it was the best one this season.  I
    started watching NX for the quirks of the cast of characters.  This
    episode seemed to be full of quirks.  I hope more episodes are as crazy
    as this one.
