Hollywood Flashback: 'Northern Exposure' Swept the Emmy Awards in 1992
It seems a shame that Northern Exposure — a '90s dramedy about a neurotic Jewish doctor from New York forced to pay back his student loans by working in a tiny Alaska town — is not available on any streaming platform. (Licensing fees for its rock-and-jazz-heavy soundtrack have been cited as the reason.) The feel-good show came from Joshua Brand and John Falsey, creators of ABC’s thirtysomething, and CBS ordered eight episodes out of the gate, premiering the series in summer 1990.
