After responding to the outpouring of feedback from last week’s The 100 segment, Noel and Kate dig in for another full week of TV. First up are reality and comedy, including the Top Chef: California finale, a trio of premieres, and somewhat controversial episodes of The Carmichael Show and Broad City. Then it’s over to genre and drama, including a (mostly) spoiler-free look at the beginning of Daredevil season two, Supergirl’s Red Kryptonite episode, and another entertaining American Crime Story. Afterward, Jason Griffin of TVx3 and TheTVaholic returns to the DVD Shelf to whisk Kate off to the picturesque town of Cicely, Alaska to talk Northern Exposure.

Thank you so much for this DVD Shelf on Northern Exposure. It means so much to me that you would do it and was great to have Jason in on the conversation as well. Missed that Noel could not be in as well.
I too have VCR tapes of this show and it is probably still my all-time favorite. I don’t focus on the last seasons but mainly love the middle sections where stories like Ed trying to find a present for Ruth Ann and buys her a grave (which they dance on in the end) or when The Flying Man comes and courts Marilyn to be the beautifully quiet and amazing show that I love.
I probably idealize it because it was on in my younger adulthood and I have fond memories of that time in general and the experience of watching it will always be tied to that. I hope at least one new person will travel to The Alaskan Riviera and find the characters and stories that await them there…
