Northern Exposure premiered on CBS on July 12, 1990. The series was about a doctor from New York named Joel Fleischman. Joel needed help paying for his medical school expenses and made a deal with the state of Alaska, who needed doctors. They pay for the education and he comes and works in Alaska for four years to repay them. He expected to be working in Anchorage, but was reassigned to a very small town named Cicely after the town doctor died. There Joel met a group of unusual people. Among them was Maggie, the tough bush pilot who Joel was attracted to but spent most of his time denying it; Chris, the town radio station's philosophic disk jockey; Maurice, a former astronaut who was the president of the town's Chamber of Commerce; Holling, who owned the local tavern and had a young girlfriend named Shelly; Ed, Maurice's assistant and aspiring film director; Marilyn, his unflappable assistant; and Ruth-Anne, who owned the town store. Joel spent a lot of time and energy complaining about Cicely and wishing he was back in New York, but on the times he could really have gone back he never did. This show is about an interesting group of people in an unusual location and is very hip.
