*Frontline (PBS - never miss an episode, of this show, if I can help it)
*The Passionate Eye (CBC, but features many British and American docs, also)
*The Independent Lens (PBS, and CBC)

Hi Ambi, I too was a huge Northern Exposure fan. It was filmed in my neck of the woods Roslyn, Washington. I've been to restaurant/bar many times over the years. Actually I just remembered something, about 20 or so years ago we were partying and shooting pool in our local bar and none other then Ed walked in with some friends. We all talked to him, but he was very shy and quiet.

So, cool, Peter! My sister was such a big fan of the show (she loved Dr. Joel) I got her "The Northern Exposure Encyclopedia", one Christmas!

I'm more of the Supernatural kind of guy!!!!

**********************************

Peter, I should have known ;-))))

I have a friend up here at the North Pole, who is a TV critic, and goes to L.A. every year, to interview the stars. He's done a lot of nice things for me - including saying "hi" to Cory Monteith, for me. (Poor Cory, I loved him so much. . . but that's another story.)

Anyway, Peter, I've told my friend, "Dude, you get me a nice candid of JENSEN ACKLES, with autograph. . . and I'll save up and buy you a BRAND NEW CAR!" (We're talking Ford here, Peter, not Mercedes ;-)

Peter, before I met the sublimely (and insanely) beautiful and sweet Mr. K.K., THIS is the Christmas wish-list I sent to all my friends, every year. (I think you'll understand, why :-)

I haven't seen one episode from supernatural. But as I google the show... I see that TV.com rated it 9.1 out of 10

So that must be a show worth giving a chance!

*************************

Drake -

Ratings be damned. . . if Jensen Ackles doesn't make your heart skip a beat. . . you really are a Broke Straight Boys! LOL!!!

Hugs, and teasing ya,
"A" ;-)))))
