My daughter and I also loved Northern Exposure … so much that we began wondering what the town of Cecily would be like if it were in South Texas … and so began the Luna City series …
I have a doppleganger also, although I have never met her face to face. Some clients of the consultancy I worked for 15 years ago were friends of hers – a woman who lived in Houston and is/was my exact double.

My Dad and I both found Northern Exposure delightful. An oasis in a desert of mediocrity.

Reminds me of an SNL skit from about 10 years ago, Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney.

Neo,

Northern Exposure was so good. They filmed that here in the Seattle area and in Roslyn in central WA, which was the stand in for Cicely, AK, is a nice little town in the mountains.

Morrow was great in Northern Exposure. It was never the same after he left.

“Frey weeping uncontrollably on George Floyd’s casket during one of his funerals, while his city smouldered would be a defining image.”

Yep…and how’s downtown Minneapolis doing these days?

I’ve also very briefly glimpsed my doppelganger.

Geoffrey Britain:

People keep telling me I have a doppelganger, apparently a gang of them, but I’ve never run into one.

I do look rather like Elliot Gould — from the back.

I was guessing Adrien Boyd on top for the nose, though the forehead’s not quite right.

And remembering Wilfred Brambell’s golden line about Ringo’s Nose from “A Hard Day’s Night”:
_________________________________

Aye, it may be a joke to you, but it’s his nose. He can’t help having a hideous great hooter! And his poor little head, trembling under the weight of it!

Such great writing. Hat tip to Alun Owen.

I loved Brambell as Paul’s grandfather. I spent a silly amount of time trying, unsuccessfully, to prove Brambell was the uncredited milkman in Hitchcock’s “The 39 Steps.”

That running joke in “Hard Day’s Night” about Brambell being “very clean” was because Brambell was known then as the older, slovenly junk man in the sitcom, “Steptoe and Son.” Which was later remade in the US as “Sanford and Son.”
