'Northern Exposure'Main Cast: Where Are They Now?

The summer has traditionally been a time when television reverts to reruns and an occasional fill-in series that rarely runs beyond Labor Day. In 1990, however, CBS premiered a new comedy-drama show that was definitely not the run-of-the-mill summertime fare. In fact, 'northern exposure' was a pioneer in many ways, ushering in the era of dramedy -- the blend of drama and comedy -- that is so popular today.

From the moment it debuted on July 12, 1990, until it ended its run on July 26, 1995, 'northern exposure dvd' was something special, and a large part of that success was due to the cast. The show was a launching pad for some of the younger actors, and a showcase for many others. On the anniversary of the show's premiere, we decided to catch up with the cast.

For Rob Morrow, 'northern exposure dvd set' was a blessing and curse. The former little known actor wasn't thrilled to be on a hit show and chaffed at the commitment to a long series run. His character, Joel Fleischman was a fish-out-of-water New York doctor stuck in Cicely, Alaska, until he worked off his college debt. Morrow was written out of 'northern exposure dvd boxset' in season 5.
