'Twin Peaks' Had a Sister Show 'Northern Exposure' Is Streaming
'Northern Exposure' was hard to find for decades until Amazon Prime added it, and its connection to 'Twin Peaks' makes now the best time to watch it.
With the passing of David Lynch and the re-release (or re-re-re-re-release) of Twin Peaksin a new box set, now is a perfect time to revisit its 'sister show' of sorts, which has traditionally been hard to find. Twin Peaks aired on ABC in 1990 and 1991, while Northern Exposure aired its first two (of six) seasons on CBS during that time. The two shows weren't treated well by executives, and they hopped around, sometimes airing Monday nights, sometimes Thursdays, and eventually they were both in primetime on Saturday night. They share thematic similarities, settings, actors, dream logic, and surrealism, and one show even directly merged with the other.
