About

Northern Exposure

Northern Exposure is a comedic drama series that follows the trials and tribulations of Joel Fleischman, a young doctor bound by a scholarship agreement to practice medicine in the remote town of Cicely, Alaska. Throughout its run on CBS, the show explores the cultural clash between the New York City native's urban mentality and the quirky, small-town characters he encounters in the rugged yet charming Alaskan wilderness.
