Anya ,'Empty Places'
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.
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.

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.
Lysana: (sekrit) Excuses. We can accept these, 'cuz, Colin Farrell has that thing.
further sekrits: Get your mind out of the gutter, girl. Not that thing. The charisma thing.
You know, going to bed early to catch up on sleep is nice, in theory.
Oh, Lee. Too early for you. You're on Maine time, girl.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Kat, and Rio, for asking all the zipless questions I would have asked, and fully expressing my share of the ewww.
Gronklies everyone, except Lee, who should get regronked and go back to bed.
