How to see Northern Exposure reruns
How I did it: I ordered the series up on Netflix and watched about one disc per week. It was great seeing some of the old episodes I remembered again, but as the series went on into the 4th and 5th seasons, it just got so bad, I couldn't watch anymore. It made me sad to see that they made a stoic character like Marilyn try comedic lines and made Chris lose his purpose altogether. Also, it seemed that once Joel and Maggie were comfortable with dating each other, the show lost any interesting tension it ever had, not to mention Shelley's ridiculous pregnancy symptoms. What started out as a great show filled with characters you could relate to, ended up as a mediocre pile of sitcom poo. So disappointing.
Lessons & tips: Watch the first three seasons. They are definitely worth it. Also, Netflix is a great way to enjoy your old favorite tv shows.
