The premise here, as the other poster says, was to be Northern Exposure set in a more tropical locale.
But it missed in that the human psyche doesn't regard the cold desolation of Alaska as a vacation getaway, but sun and sand is.
So while Northern Exposure showed humanity and warmth and delight in an unlikely environment, Going To Extremes began with that idea. The only perceived 'awkwardness' was to be found in the med students grumbling and complaining.
"No running water. No electricity. We're going to the boonies."
After this, the eye-openers consisted of a woman working in a store with empty shelves delivering the modern goods Erika Alexander was seeking and a young man who practiced yoga and was one with the universe.
Gone was all the wise old wisdom and backwoods eccentricities that NE offered. No Marilyn, no Chris or Ed, no sick beavers.
Once these youngsters got used to their bohemian surroundings, what then?
Party time on the beach!
Let's go surfing!
Familiarity does breed contempt and we've seen endless sources of hourglass figures running on the beach, but Northern Exposure presented us with the lovely Maggie O'Connell in a fur parka.
