NORTHERN EXPOSURE TELEVISION SERIES

NORTHERN EXPOSURE?
Northern Exposure is a television show that aired originally on the CBS television network. It was a summer
replacement show from 1990 which developed a large following and was eventually picked up as a regular
network show. The show was created by Joshua Brand and John Falsey, who were also the principal forces
behind "St. Elsewhere" and "I'll Fly Away." Later, the principal forces behind the show became Diane Frolov
and Andrew Schneider, who assumed duties as the producers and writers for the show.
Northern Exposure is mainly the story of Joel Fleischman, a New York City raised Jewish internist who
financed his medical education through a scholarship from the state of Alaska. Unfortunately, the terms of
this scholarship require Joel to repay it by serving as a doctor in Alaska for four years. Because there were no
openings in Anchorage, Joel was sent to the town of Cicely ("on the cusp of the new Alaskan Riviera") to
serve his term. But after certain circumstances happened, Joel went "up river" and left Cicely, replaced by Dr.
Phil Capra who longed to escape the rat race of Los Angeles.
References to the episodes where facts in this document were revealed are listed in [] after the item. They
are based on the episode titles in the Episode Guide in this guide.
MAIN CHARACTERS:
Joel Fleischman (actor: Rob Morrow): A New York
(Flushing) doctor meeting the terms of his medical scholarship
($125,000 to attend Columbia University) by serving four years
as general practitioner in the town of Cicely, Alaska ($465 a
month net [Grosse Pointe 48230]). Joel is the only Jewish person
in the entire Borough of Arrowhead County, Alaska [Things
Become Extinct]. After becoming engaged to Maggie, then
thrown out of her home because it wasn't working out, Joel
headed "up river" to start his life over.
Phillip Capra (Paul Provenza): The new doc in town. He and
his lovely wife Michelle left the Los Angeles area to start a new
life in Cicely. They hate Los Angeles, but are they really ready for
the charms of life in Cicely? Phil speaks French and enjoys
biking.
Michelle Capra (Teri Polo): Wife of the new doctor, she is a
free-lance journalist. She is not very accustomed to life in the

wild, having first tried to defend herself against unknown
woodland creatures with a thighmaster.
Maurice Minnifield (Barry Corbin): Ex-astrounaut with a
family fortune of $68 million [On Our Own], Maurice has big
plans for the town of Cicely. The local radio station, KBHR
(K-Bear 570 AM), is the flagship of the Minnifield
communications network and is almost solely run off the
extensive music collection of Maurice (including a fabulous
collection of show tunes). Maurice also owns the local newspaper
and 15,000 "acres of opportunity."
Mary Margaret (Maggie) O'Connell (Janine Turner): A bush
pilot who owns Joel's cabin (rented by Maurice for Joel), she is
constantly at odds with Fleischman (rarely do they call each other
by their first names). Maggie was raised in Grosse Pointe, Mich.
and is the daughter of the youngest CEO in automotive history
Page 1
("Do you remember the hatchback? That's my Dad.") She flies a

Cessna 170 (an old tail-dragger) [Birds of a Feather], N4423V
[The Gift of the Maggie] or N8326A [Russian Flu]. For filming
reasons, they use different planes in different episodes.
but once were mortal enemies over the love of a woman. His
family history of long life spans has lead him to believe that he
would outlive any woman that he would marry (he was born Jan
1, 1929 [Things Become Extinct]), but he recently overcame that
objection to marry Shelly. Holling is also a direct male-line
descendant of French aristocracy [The Body in Question.] He and
Shelly are the parents of Miranda (Randi) Bliss Vincoeur.
Shelly Marie Tambo-Vincoeur (Cynthia Geary): Shelly is the
woman over whom Maurice and Holling wanted to kill each
other. A former Miss Northwest-Passage, Shelly came to Cicely
to marry Maurice. But once she met Holling, she left Maurice to
be with him (Holling is over 60 years old, but Shelly hasn't even
hit "the big 21" [Northwest Passages]). Shelly is the only
confirmed non-US citizen (she's still a Canadian citizen.
[Northern Hospitality])
Marilyn Whirlwind (Elaine Miles): Joel's receptionist, who
raises ostriches at her farm. She is in love with the Flying Man
(Enrico Bellati) from a travelling circus, but cannot leave Cicely
to accompany him. (Character note: Elaine got the part when she
accompanied her mother to the audition. The producers and
director liked her timing and sense of humor better.)
RECURRING CHARACTERS:
Adam (Adam Arkin): The world's worst pathological liar (as far
as Joel is concerned), Adam is a gourmet chef who was originally
thought to be the Cicely version of Bigfoot [Aurora Borealis]. He
pops up occasionally to harrass Joel. He and Eve are the proud
parents of baby Aldrich.
Christopher Danforth (Chris) Stevens (John Corbett, alias:

Chris in the Morning): A free-spirit who can converse on Kafka
and theoretical physics, as well as philosophize on any topic that
might come to mind, Chris is the DJ at KBHR. He began
acquiring his vast wealth of knowledge when he spent time in
prison in West Virginia (for grand theft auto, which is why he
can no longer vote.) He jumped parole in 1986 [Democracy in
America]. He lost his extradition hearing in 1992, but the judge
ruled that the town must find a suitable replacement in three
years or he is to be handed over to the authorities from West
Virginia "if they show up." Chris also doubles as the town's
minister, being ordained in the Worldwide Church of Truth and
Beauty after answering an ad in the back of "Rolling Stone."
Ed Chigliak (Darren E. Burrows): A half-native Alaskan who
was raised by one of the local tribes when his parents abandoned
him, Ed wants to be a film director and has already started
pen-pal correspondences with Martin Scorcese, Steven Spielberg,
Woody Allen, Peter Bogdanovich, and others. Ed works for
Maurice and Ruth-Anne, and has an IQ of 180. Ed has met the
man who could be his father, Pete [Duets] and has been called to
be a shaman.
Ruth-Anne Miller (Peg Phillips): The owner of the general store
in town, Ruth-Anne left the lower 48 in 1971 with an old station
wagon, all her household possessions she could carry, and her
cats to make a new life in Alaska. To her extreme displeasure,
one of her children is an investment banker.
Holling Gustav Vincoeur (John Cullum): The owner The
Brick, a local bar, Holling is an ex-trapper and hunter who
swore off killing. Holling and Maurice are old and dear friends,
Page 2
Eve (Valerie Mahaffey, winner of a Best Supporting Actress

Emmy, 1992): Adam's wife, also the heiress to a $22 million
tungsten fortune, she is a hypochondriac and once chained Joel to
her cabin so that she could have a doctor in-house
round-the-clock [The Bumpy Road to Love].
Ron Bantz (Doug Ballard) and Erick Hillman (Don R.
McManus): Owners of one of the local bed and breakfast
establishments. They bought the property from Maurice, whom
they thought at first to be a "kindred spirit," since he lives alone,
loves gourmet food and show tunes. They also double as
archaeologists [Survival of the Species], and Ron has served as a
translator for Maurice and his Korean son, Duk Won [Sleeping
with the Enemy]. Ron served as a Marine in the Korean war.
They were recently married in a lovely ceremony.
Dave (William J. White): Cook at The Brick, he takes a lot of
abuse from Adam over his style of cooking (bacon is not
pancetta). Dave and Ed are cousins to Marilyn through their clans
(Dave and Ed are of the Bear; Marilyn is of the Raven). Note:
William J. White eventually had to give up his role as Dave; he
reinjured an old diving injury and had to quit.
Eugene (Earl Quewezance): Cook at the Brick (also known as
"not-Dave" in this group), who has almost seamlessly taken over
from Dave. He has a wife and two small kids.
Edna Hancock (Rita Taggart): Edna is the mayor of Cicely,
elected when she ran against long-time mayor Holling Vincoeur
(vote was 255 to 247.)
Lester Haynes (Apesanahkwat): A fellow Sons of the Tundra
member to Maurice, he is also Maurice's nemesis in business.
The richest man in the county/area, wealthier than Maurice, he's
scammed Maurice on a few land deals.
ties with the town of Cicely), he moves on.
Hayden Keyes (James L. Dunn): The town's ne'er-do-well, he

has broken into Joel's office (for Maurice), claimed injuries for
insurance and legal suits that did not occur, and fired off guns
around the town's citizens.
THE NORTHERN EXPOSURE EPISODE GUIDE

Please note: This music on this list is not complete (no listing so
far of music from episodes 6.2 thru 6.22) and was derived from a
number of sources, including books, internet and online service
messages and files, and just plain watching the show and jotting
down familiar songs. ALSO you will notice that some episodes
list the same song more than once. This is because that music
was played more than once in that episode. Wherever possible,
the music was listed in the order it was played in the episode.
There have been six seasons of Northern Exposure:
1. Summer 1990 (eight episodes)
2. Spring 1991 (seven episodes)
3. Fall 1991 (23 episodes)
CBS cancelled the series on May 25, 1995. The last three
episodes were shown July 12, 19 and 26.
Duk Won Minnifield (Kwi Hyun (James) Song): Korean son of

Maurice Minnifield and a woman that Maurice knew in Korea
during the war. Recently engaged to Pak Soon Ae, who is the
daughter of Maurice's sworn enemy, Pak Soon Yat.
Mike Monroe (Anthony Edwards): A lawyer who once suffered
from MSC (multiple chemical sensitivity), he lived in a geodesic
dome off of Highway 3. He was hyper-allegic to the environment
around him, a condition that developed in the last few years of his
life. Why is this written in past tense? Mike was cured during his
stay in Cicely and has since left to fight environmental villains as
a lawyer for Greenpeace. Joel still thinks he's wacko, cured or
not, but Maggie was attracted to him. Note: He is NOT dead
(yet.)
Leonard Quinhagak (Graham Greene): Leonard is a shaman,
and his healing skills have been shown in a number of episodes.
Leonard told Ed he had the call and the abilities to be a shaman,
but he warned Ed that his life would be very different if he takes
up the calling.
Elaine Shulman (Jessica Lundy): Joel's ex-fiance'e-- she left
Joel to marry an older man who died shortly after their marriage.
She and Joel have since reconciled their relationship and the
unfortunate way that it ended.
Sgt. Barbara Semanski (Diane Delano): A state trooper who
shares the mutual hots for Maurice, but who cannot sustain a
relationship with him because of his disregard for the law (tax
law, that is) [The Bumpy Road to Love].
Bernard Stevens (Richard Cummings, Jr.): Chris'
African-American half-brother. Bernard and Chris are
psychically connected-- they discovered each other when they
both had the same vision of a sculpture about the Aurora Borealis
[Aurora Borealis]. They often share the same dreams and
thoughts. Their mutual father was a travellin' man who just
happened to have two families.
Miranda Bliss Vincoeur (baby twin actresses unknown):
Newly arrived daughter of Holling and Shelly, Miranda, or
"Randi," was born in Holling and Shelly's living room upstairs
from the Brick, during happy hour. According to a dream
sequence featuring Shelly ["Hello, I Love You"], Randi will, at
the age of 18, travel to Dallas, Texas to become a Dallas
Cowboy's chearleader. Along the way, she will also be a big fan
of Barbie dolls, and a drummer in a local rock band.
Walt Kupfer (Moultrie Patten): We don't know much about
Walt, other than that he's a friend of Ruth-Anne and Holling. He's
been showing up more and more, though (in the Brick, spitting
seeds with Joel, and other places.) We do know that he's a
trapper, [Baby Blues] and used to work on Wall Street [Hello, I
Love You]
The Flying Man - Enrico Bellati (Bill Irwin) A mystical quiet
man who comes to town with a travelling circus, he falls in love
with Marilyn and tries to convince her to leave with him. When
Maryilyn admits her love for him but refuses his offer (due to her

MISCELLANEOUS STUFF
How did the town of Cicely get its name? Cicely was founded, but nameless (and lawless) until two women, Cicely and Roslyn, came
to town to form a utopian society. For more details, see the episode "Cicely" which tells the history of the two women and the society. For
those people who haven't seen the show, the town is (obviously) named after Cicely, due to her selfless death to protect Roslyn.
According to some publicity photographs, the population is 215 and elevation is 6572 feet. Other people have reported that Brand and
Falsey set the town's population at 839, since they were originally paid $839,000 an episode. In "Survival of the Species" Ed states it as
849, which was confirmed in a few later episodes. In the episode where Miranda Bliss Vincoeur was born, it was stated as probably 844.
Were Cicely and Roslyn lesbians? Yes. Maurice has asked Chris to downplay this part of their town's history. It is also alluded to in
the pilot episode, where Maurice tries to tell Joel that, despite what other people will tell him, they were just good friends. It is not stated
but alluded to in "Cicely" during the conversation between Mary O'Keefe and Roslyn about alternatives to men. The two innkeepers, Ron
and Erick, are also homosexuals.
How long has Joel been in Cicely? Joel's contract originally required four years of service to the state of Alaska. In the episode
"Thanksgiving," the rising cost of living and devaluation of the US dollar caused the state to add another year to Joel's "sentence." The
latest markers on Joel's journey out of Alaska are (episodes listed in order of their original air dates):
Russian Flu (first season): Joel says that it's been 2 months since he and Elaine were together.
Spring Break (first season): Joel says that he's been in Cicely for 10 months without experiencing intimate sexual contact.
Goodbye to All That (second season): Chris says that Joel has been there eight months.
Lost and Found (third season-- Joel renews his subscription to The New Yorker): 3 years, 8 months, 22 days, and 15 hours to go
Thanksgiving (fourth season): 3 years, 9 months, 17 days, and 1 hour to go (but what's another hour?)
Learning Curve (fourth season): Anything he currently has + 2 months to repay the $800 he borrowed from Maurice.
Love's Labour Mislaid (fourth season, 1993): Ed states that he will have known Joel for 2 years in June.
Family Feud (fourth season): Maggie and Joel argue about their relationship after having known each other for 2.5 years.
Mite Makes Right (fifth season): Joel says he's known Maggie for three years.
The Gift of the Maggie (fifth season): Dr. Pete from Gardner Station remarks that Joel must have been in Alaska for almost 4 years.
The writers gave several clues about how long Joel was there, or how long he had left. Still, because of the open-ended nature of the
show's run, it is possible that the time spent on the show doesnt match the exact calendar time from the premiere episode (see episodes
of "MASH" for a comparison to this situation).
Why are there no children in the show? Well, a lot of people who subscribe to this newsgroup are pretty glad there aren't any main
characters who are under 18 years of age. Others believe that children are missing and should be included. There have been children in
certain episodes; there were children in Ed's film "Cicely" [Animals R Us], there were children around during the visit by the circus [Get
Real], and there were children at the wedding [The Wedding]. And of course, there is baby Aldrich, the progeny of Adam and Eve, and
Shelly and Holling's daughter Miranda Bliss. But if you think about the lack of children, consider that most of the main characters are
single and highly independent, so the inclusion of any children would be against the characters as drawn so far in the show.
Did Cynthia Geary do her own singing? In the episode "Old Tree," Shelly discovers that she can no longer talk; all that comes out of
her mouth is music. After both airings of this show, the latest burning alt.tv.northern-exp question was "Did she do her own singing?"
(Shelly is now song-less, having lost the ability during her 18th week of pregnancy [The Three Doctors].) Yes, Cynthia Geary did all of
her own singing for this episode. She has a degree in voice from Univ. of Mississippi. The songs in the brick and their apartment were
pre-recorded and played back during filming (lip- synched); the scene in Joel's office is live and a'capella. The song about the lady and
Page 16
the snake is not original; that is, the story goes back a long time (other versions of the parable include a frog and a scorpion.) All of her
other songs were written for the show.
Toy Cows [It Happened in Juneau]: The song "Toy Cows In Africa" is by a group called Chance.
Turkey In The Straw [Learning Curve]: The Orlando Sentinel TV critic, Greg Dawson, got the following info from CBS, regarding
what sounded like an Native American version of "Turkey in the Straw" in "Learning Curve." The scene was of Marilyn touring around
Seattle, accompanied by this piece. The song is an Ojibway love song. As explained on the second Northern Exposure CD, a common
practice among the Ojibway was to take a song, such as the square dance "Turkey in the Straw," and substitute Ojibway lyrics. It is
"Ojibway Square Dance" from Songs of the People, performed by Georgia Wettlin-Larsen. It can be ordered from The Melody Shop
(218-751-5303) in Bemidji, Minn. It is also available on the second Northern Exposure CD.
Ebudae [Northern Lights]: The piece played at the end of the episode "Northern Lights," where Chris is displaying his sculpture of light,
is "Ebudae" by Enya, from her album "Shepherd Moons." It is sung in Gaelic.
Where is Northern Exposure filmed? Northern Exposure is filmed in the town of Roslyn, WA.
Where Is Cicely? The producers and writers of Northern Exposure have sprinkled enough misleading clues that it cant be pinpointed
exactly. Some include:
In the 63rd parallel, placing it in the main body of the state. [Hello, I Love You]
You can travel from Cicely to Cantwell on Route 8 (Ruth-Anne and Walt did), which again places it in the main body of the state.
[Hello, I Love You]. And Route 6 also leads into town [Una Volta in L'Inverno]
The men run naked out to Highway 1 when the ice breaks [Spring Break]
Just across the border from Sixty Mile, in Canada. [Northern Hospitality]
Within a 75 mile radius of 143 degrees W, 62 degrees N, according to the ice-sculpture at Maurice's feast. [The Big Feast]
North of the Arctic Circle because they spend some days in complete darkness [Northern Lights] and some days in complete light
[Midnight Sun]
South of the Arctic Circle because they don't have permafrost [Survival of the Species]
40 air-minutes from Anchorage, the nearest hospital. (Joel tells Shelly she'll be going there to deliver. [Baby Blues]) Maggie also
receives her flight service briefings from Anchorage.
200 miles from the next nearest town. [Ill Wind]
200 miles from Sleetmute, and not too far from Unalaklee.
400 miles from Soldotna (the length of the drive for the owner of "Rick" the dog.) [Animals R Us]
500 miles from Sourdough. [Spring Break]
Located along a river (or at least Roslyn, WA is), and is 1000 miles from Anchorage [Kaddish] (which means that Maggie's Cessna
170 travels at 1500 miles an hour)
In the panhandle, because the specific Indians mentioned are Pacific Northwest tribes (Tlingit and Haida.)
In the panhandle portion that runs along the coast next to Canada ("The cusp of the new Alaskan Riviera" - premiere episode)
We know that it's on a major log truck route, with paved roads nearby [premiere].
The Fling Thing: Called a trebuchet (pronounced tray-boo-shay). Items that were flung: Maggie's burnt piano [Burning Down the
House], Chris' dead friend Tooley [Heroes]. The exact quote by Chris about the fling: "It's not the thing you fling, it's the fling itself"
[Burning Down the House]. "Car & Driver" (June 1992) did a whole article on it called "Seige the Day." Two guys in England built a
replica and fling toilets filled with gasoline and small cars and people. They thought that they might sell a few of these, but at the time of
the article, they had only sold one --to Northern Exposure. If you want one, they only cost $18,000.00. Also described by: "All Things
Considered", National Public Radio, Jan. 2 1992, and "The Wall Street Journal" (July 30, 1991).
How Did Maggies Boyfriends Meet Die?: This is known as the curse of Maggie O'Connell --every man she has ever slept with has
died in some gruesome accident. The last was Rick Pederson, who was played by Grant Goodeve in the first season. Until her house
burned down, Maggie had kept small shrines to each boyfriend. This is from the eulogy given at Rick's funeral by Chris [Slow Dance]:
Harry: potato salad at a picnic
Bruce:
victim of a terrible fishing accident
Glenn:
took a wrong turn in his Volvo onto a missile test site
Dave:
fell asleep on a glacier and froze to death
Rick:
merged with a satellite
Steve:
struck by lightning while working on an oil rig (revealed only during Maggie's hallucination)
Maggie has "cured" at least one boyfriend (Mike Monroe), and she's slept with Fleischman [Ill Wind] but he didnt die.
Dedication: There was a dedication at the end of March 15, 1993 episode for John "Yomi" Rothlisberger, but no explanation about him.
Rothlisberger was an elderly farmer who lived in Roslyn, Wash., where the show is filmed, and he appeared in almost every episode as
an extra. When he died, the producers and crew felt as if they had lost an adopted cast member.
The Raven A long time ago, the Raven looked down from the sky and saw that the people of the world were living in darkness. The
ball of light was kept hidden by a selfish old chief. So the Raven turned himself into a spruce needle, and floated on the river where the
chief's daughter came for water. She drank the spruce needle. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, who was the Raven in
disguise. The baby cried and cried until the chief gave him the ball of light to play with. As soon as he had the light, the Raven turned
back into himself. The Raven carried the light into the sky. From then on, we no longer lived in darkness. From "Seoul Mates," as told
Page 17
by Marilyn Whirlwind.
The Eagle The Eagle wasn't always the Eagle. The Eagle, before he became the Eagle, was Yucatangee, the Talker. Yucatangee talked
and talked. It talked so much it heard only itself. Not the river, not the wind, not even the Wolf. The Raven came and said The Wolf is
hungry. If you stop talking, you'll hear him. The wind too. And when you hear the wind, you'll fly.
[Nadine]: So he stopped talking.
[Marilyn]: And became its nature, the Eagle. The Eagle soared, and its flight said all it needed to say. From "Birds of a Feather," as told
by Marilyn Whirlwind to Nadine Fleischman.
The Warrior [There was] a warrior who had a fine stallion. Everyone said how lucky he was to have such a horse.
Maybe he said.
One day the stallion ran off. The people said the warrior was unlucky.
Maybe he said.
The next day the stallion returned, leading a string of fine ponies. The people said it was very lucky.
Maybe the warrior said.
Later, the warrior's son was thrown from one of the ponies and broke his leg. The people said it was unlucky.
Maybe the warrior said.
The next week, the chief lead a war party against another tribe. Many young men were killed. But, because of his broken leg, the
warrior's son was left behind, and so was spared.From "Bolt from the Blue" as told by Marilyn Whirlwind.
The Wedding Vows I am the sky says the Hindu bridegroom to the bride. You are the earth. We are sky and earth united. (The ring,
Joel) You are my husband. You are my wife. My feet shall run because of you. My feet shall dance because of you. My heart shall beat
because of you. My eyes see because of you. My mind think because of you. And I shall love, because of you. Are you guys cool with
that? Then kiss. From "Our Wedding", the wedding ceremony as recited by Chris.

"If they could see how the sun's setting fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye
But hold onto your lover
'Cause your heart's bound to die
Go on now, and say goodbye to my town, to my town
I can see the sun's going down on my town
Good night... good night..."
