As many shows or films from that period the title was "customized" in Poland and "Northern Exposure" was known as " Przystanek Alaska " - "Station Alaska". My dad enjoy it especially credits with moose.

In Italy it was "Un medico tra gli orsi": "A doctor among the bears".

Find the German or UK international DVD release for original music. Region 1 DVDs have replacement music for licensing reasons, and it changes the show for the worse. One of my favorite shows.

Damn, I've only ever seen it on Region 1 dvd and didn't even realize. I guess I have an excuse to rewatch now

Such a great show, but difficult to classify. No drama, action or nailbites, no big belly laughs, more like smiles and chuckles. I was just a little happier after having watched most episodes. Very few shows like that, but Ted Lasso actually reminded me a lot of NEX in how it made me feel.

The Detectorists might fill this same niche.

Detectorists was good but was clearly going off the boil at the end like the special. Jumping the shark with celebrity cameos etc.
