DO YOU REMEMBER? All-time TV series

Hiya. As you are all well aware, I am a TV series fan and now I'd like to pay homage to some of the best TV series of all time. Every once in a while, I'll be posting some information about top TV series that plunge me into nostalgic moods.

How do you feel when you listen to the tune of the TV series you wouldn't miss for anything in the world when you were younger? But, before you carry on reading, let's watch the following video, shall we?





So, do you remember? Yes, it's Northern Exposure (1990), translated as Doctor en Alaska for Spanish television. Do you remember cute but obnoxious New York doctor Joel Fleischman? What about the town beautiful pilot, Maggie O'Connell, and his love-hate relationship with Fleishman? And we cannot forget the rest of Cicely's quirky characters: Maurice, Ed, Holling and Shelly, Chris and his radio programme, "Chris in the morning", etc.

This show has been labelled as a dramedy (a balance between humour and serious content) and it certainly has humorous elements together with more serious topics. I still remember the episode when Maggie's boyfriend is killed by a satellite that fell from the sky. At the funeral, everybody tries to feel sorry for him and for Maggie, who is said to be cursed (four former boyfriends were also killed in strange circumstances), but, when they see the satellite protruding from the coffin, all of them burst out laughing in spite of Maggie's anger.

Well, what else can I say? You know that watching TV in English is essential for you to improve your English level. So, what are you waiting for? There are plenty of films, sitcoms and TV series in general that you like and watch so why not in English? Believe me, it's much more fun.
