Northern Exposure - The Complete Fifth Season

Dr. Joel Fleishman (Rob Morrow) never wanted to leave New York, but the lure of paying off his medical school bills by working in a remote area seems too good to pass up. However, the quirky citizens and sheer inconvenience of small town Alaska have him pining for the next flight back to Manhattan. Though Joel grudgingly stays, it takes him a while to adjust. What with the town's feisty mayor/pilot, Maggie (Janine Turner); ex-astronaut turned pompous millionaire Maurice J. Minnifield (Barry Corbin); and Joel's problems with the cycles of the sun, the weather, and everything else about the wild country, each episode provides a wealth of rich character studies and complex, universally appealing humor. This program contains the complete fifth season of the series.
