This is a cute show with quirky characters. Why no one praise this like other old shows (Seinfeld, Friends)?
shareGood question. Everyone I know watched it in the 90s (at first thinking it was a Twin Peaks ripoff). I especially liked Janine Turner when her hair was long. Of course, it's all an illusion, she's nothing like her character on the show. Too bad.
shareAren’t all fictional tv shows supposed to be illusions? So Janine was not really a pilot? Rob Morrow is a doctor though, right? Ok, snarky time over. That is why I hate watching celebrities go on shows like Fallon and Kimmel because most come off as really unremarkable to downright moronic. It can dampen appreciation for the interesting and colorful characters they play.
shareI always thought it had a strong following and it also a critically acclaimed show up until Dr Fleischer exited the series. Also, I don't think Seinfeld and Friends are even in the same league as N.E. by any stretch.
For all its comparisons to Twin Peaks, which I can see some parallels, I always felt like this was a modern send up of M*A*S*H.
I don’t see the Twin Peaks parallels at all. But I forgot mostly everything about Twin Peaks and never was interested in the follow up series. M*A*S*H parallels I can see though.
shareIt was the quirkiness of the Northwest setting and its characters for the most part but the story and character similarities were not even close. There was that one funny episode where Dr Fleisher spots a "log lady" and hears the ubiquitous "man from another place" jazz music playing in the background though LOL
shareIt's hard to get in the U.S. because of the ridiculous music industry.
