		Set in the fictional hamlet of Cicely, Alaska, this unique, contemporary, hour-long series was created by Joshua Brand and John Falsey, whose earlier brainchild, St.
		His initial disdain for Cicely's outwardly unsophisticated inhabitants is exceeded only by his desire to return to his beloved Big Apple where his ambition, cosmopolitan tastes, and Jewishness might have free reign.
		The "fish out of water" narrative exemplified by Joel's gradual softening toward Cicely, Cicelians, and small-town life is replicated again and again in episodes about visitors who give of themselves in some fashion while becoming enriched by their interactions with worldly wise, innately intelligent, and accepting locals.

		Though Anchorage is the point of origin and conclusion of this itinerary, the sights and attractions of Alaska's largest city have been omitted from this itinerary.
		(Alaska was part of Russia before its purchase by the U.S. in 1867.) Attractions include the historic St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church, a hand-built Siberian prayer chapel and brightly colored "spirit houses" in the village cemetery.
		The area has the largest free-roaming bison herd in Alaska and, depending on the time of day, is a good stop for lunch or dinner and an overnight.

	Beans Around The World - Roslyn, WA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		"Cicely" is actually the town of Roslyn, located just off I-90 near Snoqualmie Pass, about 100 miles East of Seattle.
		Located high enough in the Cascade mountains to give the producers enough seasonal snow, Roslyn made a fairly reasonable stand-in for an Alaskan village, while still being close enough to the big city for some lackey to fetch lattes and scones for the stars...
		Cicely also had its own radio station, hosted by the smarmy-yet-devilishly-handsome (my wife's quote-not mine...) "Chris in the Morning", who was a little too philosophical for most, but still came up with something clever to say every episode.

		As Ned tells the tale of how Cicely was intended to be a utopian paradise and her tragic fate, Joel appears to have some appreciation for what a special little town he is stuck in by a simple twist of fate.
		None of Cicely's residents will be able to look at their town in quite the same way, least of all Joel.
		Setting the much-awaited Cicely history lesson aside, the last scene of the epsode says it all for me. Joel can finally see past the snow, the mud and the miles between himself and New York City to see the heart and soul of a little town on the cusp of the new Alaskan Riviera.

		Set in the fictional hamlet of Cicely, Alaska, "Northern Exposure" is the story of "fish out of water" Dr. Joel Fleischman, compelled to serve as town doctor in order to repay the state of Alaska for his medical school tuition.
		The quintessential "fish-out-of water."

		Demian played a citizen of Cicely, Alaska in two episodes of the TV series Northern Exposure.
		In the second episode — the 23rd story of the third season — Demian was present for the formation of the town itself.
		The story of the formation of the town, taking place in 1909, was called “Cicely.” It was an extraordinary story about how two people — in this case two women who were life partners — can perform a miracle and transform a wilderness into a thriving town and cultural center.

		Cicely, Alaska (though fictional) is a town that is four steps to the left and one step back.
		Once Rob Morrow left, all that remained of the denizens of Cicely was Chris's pedantic sermons from his radio pulpit and the "like, hyper annoying" Shelly, who Holling should have thrown back to Maurice like the dead fish that she played.
		This show was about a NY doctor coming to a small town in Alaska to practice medicine and adjust to his new life among strange new friends.

		Surely you know the setup of this classic series: as a condition of his med school scholarship, New York native Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow) is required to set up practice in rural Cicely, Alaska, a town full of eccentrics.
		Cicely, Alaska (played very well by Roslyn, Washington), and its citizens were wholeheartedly believable and loveable, even the xenophobic astronaut Maurice (Barry Corbin).
		Even the 44-year age difference between Maurice's ex, Shelly (Cynthia Geary), and her new squeeze, Holling, was sweet, not creepy.

		Because there were no openings in Anchorage, Joel was sent to the town of Cicely ("on the cusp of the new Alaskan Riviera") to serve his term.
		Cicely was founded, but nameless (and lawless) until two women, Cicely and Roslyn, came to town to form a utopian society.
		But if you think about the lack of children, consider that all of the main characters are single and highly independent, so the inclusion of any children would be against the characters as drawn so far in the show.
