The biggest high
Latest update:
I remember watching it some years ago w/o knowing what an impact that
show had done. I've also heard that during its heyday there was a
dedicated radio show in Alaska, where people would call in to grumble,
for example, that they had heard such a bird song in the last episode
of "Northern Exposure" that's impossible to hear in Alaska for such
kind of bird doesn't live there.
"Housewives, truck drivers, farmers and school kids have experienced
minor TV celebrity. Merrily Lewis, mother of two (daughter Caitlin got
to sing in one scene) and part-time waitress at the Village Pizza, has
made a number of appearances. "My relatives spotted me and called from
California," she said. She has even signed an autograph.
Jerry Morris got to work closely with stars Rob Morrow and Janine
Turner in a scene filmed at his barber shop. Morris played Early, the
Cicely barber, and even wangled a two-word speaking part ("All
finished"). Morris has reprised his role since then, and he said his
involvement in the series is "the biggest high I've ever had in my
life."
