The first season centers on his fish-out-of-water experiences and attempts to escape his contract, later evolving into an ensemble narrative. Maurice Minnifield (played by Barry Corbin) appears in Northern Exposure.
A former astronaut and wealthy businessman who owns much of Cicely, including the local radio station. He is a domineering but vulnerable figure in the town.
