I think that Northern Exposure represents a rare glimpse of what tv could and should be.... great show !...My favorite episode was when Chris (?) the DJ guy had a grand piano pole vaulted out into the middle of a lake. I can't explain why this scene was great magical ...just was .....and I play piano too and would give anything, besides my Leicas, to have a Grand of my own. I remember the show about the Siberian Tits and I thought that both the vocals and the pictures were Black-Capped . Could be wrong.....it's been awhile.
