Mort the Moose was at the time a tame moose, being studied to see why moose in captivity died much sooner than moose in the wild.

If Northern Exposure comes back, they will no doubt find a healthier specimen to amble through the sleeping village.
Well, Cicely was never real-world Alaska in the first place. There’s no reason they’d need to address any of these concerns.
How about making something new and good, instead of digging up this once-beautiful corpse and defiling it?
So many channels, they’re running low on ideas. A revival has a good chance of generating some free buzz and getting people to at least try the series. It is easier.

Designing Women Network: TBD (Sony)
The Facts of Life Network: TBD (Sony)

There are at least 10 reboots on the air currently.
