"Hey, let's check our social calendar. Nothing, total blank." This line reads like a moody tweet that any of us could have sent last night. Or the night before — or, frankly, anytime since a global pandemic was declared in early March. But it's actually the first line of a 1994 episode of the CBS comedy-drama "Northern Exposure," delivered by disc jockey Chris Stevens (John Corbett) to the residents of the fictional town of Cicely, Alaska.
