‘Northern Exposure’ Season 4 on DVD

EMMY AWARD WINNING CULT TV CLASSIC

TO BE RELEASED AS 6-DISC DVD BOX SET

Season 4 of the quirky and ever-popular comedy drama ‘Northern Exposure’ is to be released by Universal Playback as a 6-disc DVD boxset on July 31. The first series was launched in 1990 and quickly attracted a large fan base before going on to become one of America’s most popular tv programmes.

Season 4 sees the return of Dr Joel Fleishman (Rob Morrow) and the offbeat citizens of Cicely, Alaska, and guest stars include Anthony Edwards from ER, Patrick Warburton from Seinfeld and 80’s pop legend Adam Ant.

Across all Seasons, ‘Northern Exposure’ was nominated for 16 Emmy Awards, winning seven of them, and the Season 4 boxset contains over 18 hours of programming, plus additional bonus material.

Joel Fleishman is fresh out of medical school and fresh out of luck. Failing to read the fine print in his scholarship conditions, he finds he has no choice but to move to the remote and somewhat eccentric town of Cicely in the wilds of Alaska.

Once there, he is welcomed with open arms by all 215 people who live in the town and as he contends with the daily lives and rituals of these trusting although not-so-normal folk, Joel starts to realise that Cicely’s quieter way of life is probably more civilized than the hustle and bustle of Manhattan where he grew up.

He soon starts to build an eclectic circle of friends which includes wealthy former astronaut Maurice Minnifield, feisty pilot Maggie O’Connell, mayor and bar owner Holling Vincoeur, intellectual ex-con and radio presenter Chris Stevens, store owner Ruth-Anne Miller and film buff Ed Chigliak
