Post Description

Northern Exposure, perhaps the best example to date of a crossbred television "dramedy," 
began inauspiciously as a CBS replacement series in the summer of 1990 and quickly garnered critical 
acclaim as well as an audience sufficient to warrant its return for a short stint the following year. 
Its popularity grew, and for its first complete season, 1991-92, Exposure received ratings in the top twenty, 
the Emmy for Best Television Drama, and an unusual, two-year commitment from the network. During its fourth full year, 
1994-95, the show"s future appeared questionable. The mid-season departure of one of its key players, Rob Morrow, and a move 
from its established, Monday night time slot to Wednesday, contributed to a decline in ratings and reputation. 
The program was canceled by the network at the end of the season.
