Join Tim & Jen as we over-analyze every episode of NORTHERN EXPOSURE & re-examine questionable major life choices we made based on our love of this 1990's CBS Television Drama. (Choices including, but not limited to: Marrying each other, moving to the PNW, and seeing if we could fling a piano into a lake.)
