Hi, everyone. I am Janine Turner. Welcome to Northern Disclosure, our watch podcast for the oh-so-fabulous show, Northern Exposure. I'm here with my co-host, Rob Morrow, looking very dapper this

morning. Thank you, Janine. Hello there. You look lovely, as always. Thank you. It's tricks of the

trade, you know, Hollywood. Give me a lot of light and a lot of makeup. And welcome to the show. We're

excited. We're now starting our third season. And what I've realized is this is a season of first. It was a first episode for us back where we were sort of real players in the television. Before it was 8 and 8. We were kind of an experiment. This was our first season of 22, 22, 23 episodes.

So this is 301.

So it was our first episode of the season.

It was Nick Mark, our special guest today.

I'm going to introduce him in just a minute.

It was his first episode to direct with us.

And there was another first.

What's the other one, Rob?

There's another one.

Oh, it was Frank Prinzi's first episode, our new cinematographer. So it's kind of a season of

first, and we're very excited to have Nick Mark. Nick Mark, I'll just talk about it briefly

and then I'll toss to you, Rob, to give us a synopsis. But Nick Mark is a fabulous,

wonderful human being, a terrific director.

He directed some of our most iconic shows, which we are going to talk about with him.

He directed nine episodes of Northern Exposure.

He was a director on the Wonder Years for 16 episodes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I know there's a lot of

Buffy the Vampire fans out there. Veronica Mars, he directed, I believe, he can correct me if I'm

wrong, Mr. Mrs. Smith was Scott Bacula, with whom I worked on Quantum Leap. And we just think he's,

he also worked on the postman always rings twice with Jessica Lang.
