Northern Exposure - Any shows similar?


I can't find any... I know they created St. Elsewhere, but I didn't think it was similar. Heck, "Picket Fences" was closer, but that wasn't half as good.

I'm picky on shows.. I love The Larry Sanders Show, Peep Show, The Wonder Years, Roseanne, Little House on the Prairie, Seinfeld --- I'm picky, but I'm sure someone might understand what I'd like.

Twin Peaks. Not as much humor, but quirky.

I saw this way back in the day... I might still have it on VHS..

Did you see the re-boot? Wondering if it's any good.

reply

Best thing on television since, well, Twin Peaks ended the last time.

reply

I have not seen the 'third' season yet. Looking forward to it since people keep saying it's the best thing since people started claiming something to be the best thing since something previously great.

Maybe Due South?

Same creators

I didn't know they did that, might sound like something I and others might like.. Thank you.

Here's the first show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpR888g7f9A

Perhaps Canadian shows 'Corner Gas' or Beachcombers

Two good shows.

NorEx was a really special show. Be glad it was out there.
I think a lot of shows were as good, but to expect to find a similar show seems unlikely.
We're talking, All In The Family, MTM, Barney Miller, Cheers, MASH, the already mentioned St. Elsewhere (Chicago Hope?).
A lot of great shows, but not like NEx.

That was one of my all time favorites. It was unique. I can't really think of any similar shows since then.

For another series of a fish out of water doctor stuck in the middle of nowhere pretty much against his will see Doc Martin.

You've seen Doc Hollywood, right? Same premise.

Dharma & Greg
ER
True Blood

Shows people inexplicably like.
