Northern Exposure - The Complete Fourth Season Reviews:
Cold but warm 
2009-10-05 - Anything can happen in Cicely and it does. Discussing important issues or trivial things this show is really different from any other. I would describe it as a "positive" Twin Peaks :-D Just watch it!
The Weakest Season but Still Worth Watching
2009-04-19 - For me, this was the weakest season of NX, but I may feel that way because I watched it after Five and Six, which were great. Some of the scripts seemed forced and just lacked the punch of most of those in the other seasons. The guest actors ranged from lackluster to annoying, too. David Hemmings, the studly star of Antonio's BLOWUP, appears as a dissolute, fat, gray-haired old guy with huge bags under his eyes. Valerie Perrine still looks good and bears a striking resemblance to Shelly.
Joel seemed stuck in perpetual whinyness, especially when Maggie found a taller, cuter, nicer boyfriend. Unfortunately he, the new bf, had environmental illness and had to live in a bubble, but that didn't bother Maggie who had a nice fling and a break from Joel. Chris had some nice moments, especially when he lit up the town for an art project; that was one of the seasons' few magic moments. Another was when the town rallied around Joel to provide people to help him say the prayer of the dead for his favorite uncle. Ed found his father, which was another beautiful moment. And the Flying Man returned to beg Marilyn to marry him which was charming and moving. Maurice had some breakthroughs of his usual crustiness to show a real heart. Shelly discovers she's "preggers" and sings her way through the last show; some folks found this silly but I thought it was very well done.
Even if this isn't the best season they've done, it's still head and shoulders above most TV shows and well worth watching. I do recommend watching them in order, though.
Northern Exposure - 4th Season
2009-02-11 - Northern Exposure is one of the best TV shows ever written - amazing characters and engaging story lines. Watching the 4th season takes me back to those glorious years when I looked forward to my weekly visits to Cicily, Alaska.
Very disappointed! 
2008-11-21 - We wasted our money on this set. Side B of the first disc is completely blank. We're missing 4 episodes. So, not only do we have the horrible substituted music to contend with (thinking about that crap they played while Maggie was reburying the artifacts in her front yard and the music all but drowned out the poetry she was reading) but we've been cheated out of having the complete 4th season. I'm very disappointed.
Northern Exposure 
2008-11-02 - This was a great TV weekly show many , many years ago. It is fun to revisit this small Alaskan town with it's many different people. It is the job of a youg Doctor to work with morden medicine and old remidies proven by it's diverse population. A moose shows up in the opening scene and adds so much to the beginning of each show.
