Synopsis

This book is filled with insights into the filming of all your favorite episodes of Northern Exposure. Memories of the cast and the crew and theories about what did happen to ultimately get the show cancelled. The package includes 2 DVD's "Return to Cicely" that take you to the locations for all the key episodes to see what they look like today. The surviving cast members give their thoughts on those days and what made the show great. DVD extras include the building of the Trebuchet and Dr. Joel's house, plus a backstage tour of the studio in the final days of the show's production. Northern Exposure was an extraordinarily peculiar network television show with a highly unusual group of characters. No one had any expectations for it. Tossed into the CBS lineup in the middle of the summer of 1990, it was expected to fill eight hours of primetime television programming and then go its merry way into oblivion. What CBS didn't count on was an addictive combination of quirkiness and adventure that would rivet millions of fans, creating a cult-like following. The great adventure was happening behind the scenes as well. An unusual cast of characters, each at a pivotal juncture in their lives, was brought together from all over the country to put on their winter coats and wander into the Washington forest to make-believe they were in Alaska. Darren Burrows' character, Ed Chigliak was perhaps the most peculiar of them all. Ed bridged the world of the wilderness with that of modern America. He was wise in the ways of his native forefathers and could effortlessly quote Woody Allen and Steven Spielberg. Taken together with a community of other characters more diverse than most people could imagine, the producers, writers and cast created a home town like no one had ever seen on television. The Northern Exposed book & DVD set gives those millions of fans the opportunity to enjoy an inside look at their interactions and daily lives.
