Northern Exposure - 20th Anniversary

petzipellepingo linked to an EW post about today being the 20th anniversary of the premier of the tv series "Northern Exposure." Boy, that makes me feel old!

It was a show about a tiny, eccentric town in Alaska called Cicely (which could never be confused with Palin's Wassila)that was full of quirky, lovely characters. In a fit of nostaligia I hit YouTube, so some poetic and lyrical NE moments:

I loved that show; and it was also the one show I always thought of first when discussing shows that had a wonderful, inspiring, undisappointing, unlame ending.

YouTube took down the clip I used to have bookmarked of the last scene of the series, but they do have a clip of Iris Dement singing the song from that scene live:

No matter how many times I hear it, I cannot hear this song without crying... or without thinking of the wonderful ending of Northern Exposure.
