A few days ago I happened to watch an 1983 movie called Local Hero. I was struck by many coincidences of this movie that reminded me of Northern exposure. I would like to check with anyone reading this pages if this might be true or just product of my imagination. Here are a brief summary of those coincidences that support my pretension of Local Hero as embryo for Northern Exposure main idea.

Firstly, Local Hero's main story (apart from eco-consciousness) is about a character that is de-localized from it's top modern city to a place in the middle of nowhere. Both Cicely and the Scottish Village are far from what we call big cities.

Secondly (just a matter of opinion) the main character McIntyre has some physical resemblance to Dr. Fleischmann

Third: The shop assistant of the Scottish village resembles closely to Ruth Ann, a bit younger though.

Fourth: the visit of the Russian sailor reminds closely the one that takes place in Cicely by another Russian character. Both are warmingly welcome by locals.

Fifth: Main character are overwhelmed by landscape and beautiful scenery, especially Northern Lights
