QIs 'Wyvern' a sequel or tribute to 'Northern Exposure'?
ANo. Wyvern is neither a tribute, a sequel, nor a parody of the TV series 'Northern Exposure' (1990-1995), although the similarities and connections are unmistakable. Two of the main characters, backwoods redneck Haas and Deputy Susie, are played respectively by Northern Exposure veterans Barry Corbin, who played Maurice Minnifield, and Elaine Miles, who played Marilyn Whirlwind. Beyond that, the connections are fetching, e.g., there is New York Doctor David Yates (David Lewis) (reminiscent of Dr Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow)), ice trucker Jake Buttner (Nick Chinlund) who lives in a trailer (similar to Chris Stevens (John Corbett)), and one of the elderly residents has a deceased friend named Maggie. Beaver Mills has a radio station, KYOF (remember KBER?). The town has a totem pole reminiscent of the totem in Cicely. Even the moose makes an appearance, although in a slightly altered way.
