I, who "watch no tv," thought that N.E. was a truly superior tellie experience.

Any show that I enjoy, is quickly enough whacked.

I always loved Northern Exposure, the characters were so wild, and eccentric, and just plain fun.....I also always enjoyed 'Twin Peaks', tho that was just tooo weird for lots of folks....so when that went off the air, I was glad to see Northern Exposure, which I always referred to as a 'gentler' Twin Peaks....

Twin Peaks was filmed up here in the Pacific Northwest, with the falls in that series being Snoqualmie Falls, and the lodge seen in the series, was the lodge just above Snoqualmie Falls...

Curiously enough, I believe that much of Northern Exposure was also filmed here in the Pacific Northwest, in a little place called Roslyn, tho I may be mistaken on that part...The little Northern Exposure episode, where Marilyn goes on a vacation, ,and she vacations in Seattle, was fun to watch, to see all the sights of Seattle....

I watch I guess, what I would call a moderate amount of TV...but I watch just certain programs, and to them I am loyal...

Most comedies on TV, are to me, not funny at all...just plain boring....but I do enjoy police stories, mysteries, SCi-Fi channel, and many other things...

What I am especially enjoying now, are the Nero Wolfe mysteries on AandE....Maury Chaykin, always a fine character actor, plays the portly Nero Wolfe, and Timothy Hutton plays his sidekick and number one dick, Archie Goodwin...there is always a mystery involved, but the mystery always comes off with a wink, and a bit of good humor, always pointed at the eccentricities of the lead characters involved...

Nero Wolfe, when provoked, always says in a huff "Phooey"...and he says it with a flair...I have picked that one up, and run around my house, when provoked hollering "Phooey"...

Or the chief cop, played by Bill Smitrovich of 'Life Goes On' fame, when provoked, hollers 'Nutz', always with his stogie in his mouth...

Check it out, you might enjoy it...
