Northern Exposure
Set in Cicely in Alaska
running from 1990 to 1995
centres around Dr Joel Fleischman
star Rob Morrow brought him alive
This a real quirky town Cicely
characters of every imaginable kind
even the Moose strolled around town
makes this a real super find
Joel and Maggie never hit it off
developing a relationship of love and hate
Maurice owner of local radio and newspaper
dj Chris a real friendly mate
Holling owns the local restaurant
tall and strong like his bar the brick
waitress Shelly lives with him
a real cosy pair who really click
Ruth-Anne owns local store
sometimes not always fully in stock
Ed helped her along sometimes
and made movies really rock
So that's a few of Cicely's characters
one to fit every kind of sort
a real success story to be sure
it filled our life's not just a quart
AUTHOR NOTES:
Northern Exposure is an American television series that ran on CBS from 1990 to 1995,
with a total of 110 episodes. It dealt with a New York physician, Dr. Joel Fleischman,
who is sent to practice in the (fictional) town of Cicely, Alaska.
Early episodes dealt with Fleischman's culture shock in the small town. As he became
acclimated, more attention was paid to the town's quirky residents.
I caught up with it on DVD as I'm in Scotland.
