Greetings and welcome! I'm Kimiye Tipton. I maintain the The NX Guide Online and the The NX Frequently Asked Questions Online for the denizens of the Internet. You can send comments here: [kimiye@att.net].
This home page was born in Dec. 1994 (over ten years!) and at its peak averaged over 10,000 hits a month from fans all over the world. I will keep it going as long as enough people seem to enjoy it. Amazingly enough, we still get over 5,000 hits a month!
NX Missing from Hallmark Again!
Looks like NX has gone missing from the Hallmark Channel again... See this link at the Hallmark Channel for the schedule if it ever returns-- float your cursor over each date to get the episode descriptions.
There are several mailing lists and online groups that keep up with the show's stars and the fan groups. Look up Northern Exposure in Yahoo Groups or Google Groups.
One day the Travel Channel may show the TV Road Trip episode featuring Northern Exposure with fans visiting Roslyn, Washington, and even some footage of on-location filming. I'll certainly report it here, since it will feature my debut as a cinematographer. Ten years late, but hey!
The What's New page is a rarely updated feature on what the stars are doing now (last update 9/14/01), while the What Was page gives some info on the end of the show and some souvenir sources.
Sad News: Peg Philips passed away on Nov. 7, 2002, at the age of 84. You can send a memorial in her name to the Woodinville Repertory Theatre which she founded.
Northern Exposure premiered on July 12, 1990, and ended on July 26, 1995, with a total of 110 episodes. No more shows will be made because the sets and props have been sold, the production company has gone out of business, and the cast and crew have gone on to other work.
However, the series lives on in people's hearts, even though I don't have any reports of continued syndication in the U.S. The show was aired in many countries such as Australia, Italy, Japan, Finland, Spain, Ireland, and South Africa, and used to be on satellite in Canada.
The first three seasons are out on DVD! Check everywhere from Target to Amazon to find these sets that are easy to spot with their colorful quilted and zippered jackets. The first season of eight episodes is intact, while the second season of seven shows has most of the original copyrighted music removed.
Eleven episodes on VHS tape were released several years ago from Columbia House, a few of which you may be able to track down (yes, only 11 shows out of the whole 110 were available commercially). These are still a collector's item since they include all of the original music! You can sometimes find them on eBay or from other online stores.
Although it's not legal, there are usually copies of tapes or DVD's of the later seasons on eBay. Please don't ask me to make tapes for you. I'm trying to get through life with minimum exposure to lawyers, doctors and the police.
If you couldn't save a copy of the on-line guide above, send me mail [kimiye@att.net].
Northern Exposure (the logo with the "o" underlined) is a trademark of Universal City Studios, Inc., all rights reserved. I have no official connection with the series or Universal, although I once got to stand across the street in Roslyn, WA, and stare slack-jawed at the show being filmed.
