5. I was surprised to see 'Northern Exposure' on that list

I really liked that show - kind of quirky with fun and interesting characters. And it was nice to see a show with actual Indigenous actors playing the Indigenous characters. The only other time I've seen that is a show that ran on the CBC called 'North of 60', which was, hands down, the best dramatic television series the CBC ever ran.

(Actually, Northern Exposure is the only show on that list that I've ever watched.)
