I last recall the CBS comedy series, Northern Exposure, involving the sleepy little town of Ciceely, where drafted physician, Dr. David Fleishman led all its so-called normal res idents through all the eccentricity.
When the snow eventually receded, their annal Spring Thaw, took place as the gentlemen of Cicely streaked through the town as the excited ladies cheered and cat-called to them.
