Wash ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
damn, nobody here.
I'm all awash in Northern Exposure love, having just seen the first two episodes for the first time in ... *counts on fingers* *realizes can't count that high on fingers, uses toes too* ... fourteen years. Ouch.
Man, Cecily was marvelous. And John Corbett? Teh Hott.
And then Gus makes a liar out of me. Sheesh.
How ya doin, Gus?
Pining.
I am pining for me Buffistas. How are y'all? The Northern Exposure is bound to help.
What's his face, the Dr. in NE, went on to do a thing on Showtime series about a dope dealer and his parole agent that was actually fairly good. Did you catch it?
Rob Morrow did? Huh. I had no idea.
I did see he's got a new show starting next spring, I think. I forget the name or subject matter.
But really, despite the Joel/Maggie UST, NE was always about the secondary characters for me. Even my 12-yo niece announced that she liked Ed and Marilyn best.
I'm also full of chocolate cream pie, courtesy of my big sister. She bakes entirely too well, and too efficiently. It's dangerous.
Rob Morrow, yeah, that's his face.
Joel/Maggie UST
UST always leaves me going "Eh, just do it, already!" Like your niece, I tuned in for Ed and the town. I get a similar thing with Gilmore Girls. It is all about Miss Patty.
Gilmore Girls is very much derived from NE, although I don't find the secondary characters as charming as the ones on NE. I miss Ed and Chris in the Morning something awful.
Gilmore Girls is very much derived from NE...
Well, OK. I will refrain from sicking my Mayberry, RFD on your Northern Exposure.
'Cause the Big Quaint Hometown dog is just too brutal, on the young pups.
I will refrain from sicking my Mayberry, RFD
Point to Gus. I slouch corrected.
But you know? I didn't like Mayberry. Barney Fife gave me hives.
Barney Fife gave me hives.
Granted. A pre-acid Jim Carrey, so far over the top that the audience has lost track of ... well, the top.
Aunt Bee, Emmett, et, al.? The real deal.
eta: You need a Barney/Babette, to move things into the larger-than-life arena, if you are going to move out of documentary country.
Sekrit message to Gus: And if it worked in white-out text, you'd be Colin Farrell. Gabh mo léithsceal, mo chara.
