Review(s): DVD Northern Exposure - Seasons 1-3 Bundle
Great but a few glitches.
I havent't watched all of the DVD's yet but what I have watched is great except for side 2 of disk 1, 1st year. There is a glitch on the disk and it stalls and refuses to proceed without skipping ahead consequently missing part of the story. Another annoyance, at the very beginning of disk one, year one, there is advertising for other DVD's and it seems to be impossible to fast forward or skip these so one has to watch the ads whether one choosed to or not. In year two it seems that one disk only has one story instead of two on side two of I think disk two. That was a surprise.
Northern Exposure has always been one of my favorite programs and I am enjoyng watching the episodes again. Would be much better without the glitches.
Northern Exposure
Loved the DVD's. They were a gift for my brother, who's a big fan. He's had a hard time recently with an illness in the family and the beautifully done DVD's really lifted his spirits. When are the other seasons coming out? Thank You.
A Treat!
This is one of my favorite shows. The classic "Fish out of the pond" theme, as the Jewish New York Dr. Fleishman ends up in small town Alaska and meets a gang of kooky locals.
I love the use of music on this show. That was one of the things that got me hooked. And Marilyn, the fat Eskimo character, was very sweet.
There was also a lot of chemistry between Fleishman and Janine Turner.

Fast paced, witty and slightly absurd, Monk is the perfect example of not only a good detective, but a man trying to right the ultimate wrong of murder. His OCD only adds to the humor and the humanity of this series. Not since Columbo, have we seen a more unusual hero.

When Jack Klugman played Oscar Madison in television’s "The Odd Couple," it seemed no role could better suit him—until he stepped into the shoes of Dr. Quincy, the stubborn, crusading medical examiner in the trailblazing series (1976-1983) that spawned the medical investigation genre and earned Klugman four Emmy nominations. Immortalized for posterity is this collector’s set of the show’s first two seasons on three two-sided discs containing 16 episodes (four from Season One; 12 from Season Two). Beginning with the first installment, "Go Fight City Hall--To the Death," the series’ socially conscious, quick-paced, and mostly believable storylines are an engaging blend of mystery, sleuthing, sarcasm, and romance stirred together into an action-packed drama.

Although this item is listed as a R1 DVD it does appear to play on standard (i.e. not multiregion) R2 players & computers which is excellent news for UK fans.
The re-designed package is very nice & the general video/audio quality seem fine.
I didnt know that this US release was transferred from VHS masters but I'm suprised that the Canadian ones are superior...
The reviews for the original releases at Amazon.ca: (Season1.ASIN B00006RG6Y. & Season2.ASIN B00008IHE6) are consistantly about the terrible video quality & bad case design.
Very glad to see this series at a reasonable price & finally with the Pilot Episode in the correct place (!). More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Paul Gross DVD Release Date: Released the 28 June 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
