Northern Exposure & The Dresden Files

[Suzee]

I really enjoyed the first few seasons of Northern Exposure. I didn't like it when Rob Morrow started demanding more money for his role and then left the series. It wasn't "His" show. It was the ensemble casting that made it work so well. The scripting was fantastic! I really miss the quality of the program.

As for "The Dresden Files"...I enjoyed the books by Jim Butcher. I liked the series although it was only on for one season...last season. I don't think the production company or studio really gave it a chance. The episodes were pretty good and it had so much potential. It is sad that in an hour episode, there are 27 minutes of commercials. That, in turn, forces the editing to be a bit drastic at times. They've replaced it with a remake/rehash of Flash Gordon. Just incredible. In my opinion they sacrificed quality and originality for repetetiveness and banality.

*Stepping off my soapbox now.

P.S. Dog, the Bounty Hunter is kind of a kick, sometimes. I rarely watch TV any more.

I too liked Northern Exposure. I almost never watch tv these days, but have run into some great programs on DVD at a friend's house. Haven't seen the Dresden Files.

I didn't know they had cancelled The Dresden Files, I really liked that show, the books are awesome.
