    Maybe a hair better. Once I knew about the Shaffer switch, I can't watch the "Magitones" bit without knowing exactly how Paul would pour on that goofy showbiz smarm.

    Elaine was in episode 5, "Russian Flu." Yeah, props to Ed for that inventive solution.

    Legal Eagles
    The ample charm of Robert Redford and Debra Winger goes a long way in Legal Eagles, an occasionally complicated but generally winning comedy-thriller where the successor to the Manhattan D.A.’s office (Redford) teams up with a feisty, unconventional defense attorney (Winger) to prove an alluring…

    As part of my job, I'll occasionally visit some one-street towns in North Dakota. It like to think it's prepared me a little for watching NE.

    I remember reading TV Guide's writeup of "Aurora Borealis" when it was included on 1997's list of the 100 Best Episodes. It focused only on the Joel and Adam storyline, which kinda annoyed me.

    Running Scared
    “We lost the suspect, our keys, our car, OUR PANTS!”

    Thoughts on Northern Exposure, episodes 7-8

    They seem like off-brand Oscar the Grouches in the front page image.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the return of these Manhattan versions from time to time.

    Thoughts on Northern Exposure, episodes 5-6
    (The show’s just not meant to be written about in binges.)
