Northern Exposure is a series about a young Jewish doctor from New York City whom because of a contract with the state of Alaska finds himself thrust in the middle of nowhere, a town called Cicely. The series is part comedy and part drama, because of this, the show is hard to classify. After Northern Exposure won a Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series, Joshua Brand let the "cat out of the bag" that the show is supposed to be a comedy. He might have done this so that next year, it will not be able to compete against another one of their dramas I'll Fly Away, which was airing at that time. At the 44th Emmy Awards, Northern Exposure had 14 nominations (4 for acting, 3 for writing, 1 for direction and several technical), the most for any series. The show won 6 awards, tying with The Simpsons for the most. See the 3rd season for details on the nominations and winners. Their other show, I'll Fly Away swept the 1st Annual American Television Awards the following year, shutting Northern Exposure out and at the 45th Emmy awards the show had sixteen nominations and was shut-out. Episodes marked with an "*" are available on videotape and videodisc. 1st Season Summer 1990 CBS 60 min stereo *001.
