Northern Exposure

Quirky characters bring warmth to the small town of Cicely, Alaska, in this popular dramedy from the 1990s. Rob Morrow stars as Dr. Joel Fleischman, a city dweller forced to leave Manhattan for the tiny northern hamlet. Country may clash with the city, but it provides heated chemistry between Joel and a sexy local pilot named Maggie (Janine Turner). Cicely is also home to radio DJ "Chris-in-the-morning" (John Corbett), former astronaut and current millionaire Maurice J. Minnifield (Barry Corbin), and a number of other strangely lovable residents. Despite its remote location, Cicely is never boring, with the citizens hosting a Mosquito Festival and discovering the flesh-eating tendencies in their family trees. (official distributor synopsis)
