Northern Exposure--My Dirty Little Secret Revealed

We all know I hate John Corbett. He's gross and slithery and I just don't like him. He gives me the creeps.
I, therefore, have been hiding the fact that I've been watching "Northern Exposure" for the last couple of months. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, "Northern Exposure" is this quirky early 90's TV show set in Alaska. And Corbett may or may not be an actor in it. And I may or may not sort of tolerate his character in the show. And sometimes even find him funny and endearing. I'm so ashamed.

See? He's completely clothed. Almost a normal person.

It could be the fact that Corbett's character, Chris, is a radio personality who plays a wonderful selection of music and who occasionally reads classic books over the air. Plus he sometimes wears his cute little John Lennon glasses.
Until today.
Today's episode features Chris, who apparently secretes some kind of pheromone that attracts women. They flock to him and he...has his way with them.
This could be the episode that triggers his creepy slithery personality.
I could be watching his downfall as I type. This is a sad, sad day. I feel like I understand so much more now. Like I really understand the way the world works and it's a terrible, terrible place.

Enough about Creeper McCreeperson. Highlights of the show (which you should definitely watch):

This is Adam. He's a rumored Sasquatch, but is, in all actuality, a culinary chef.

This is Maggie. My sister thinks I look like her. I think she's insane.
