My wife and I are long time fans of Northern Exposure. Being Jewish, we enjoyed the reference to the long forgotten Jewish member of the community from the 1700s. But there was one part that did not seem correct, Maurice being signed up for Social Security (SS). My wife and I are both retired and this is not how to sign up for SS. You sign yourself up, but only when you are ready. But more important, as a retired NASA engineer (I spent 35 years at the Johnson Space Center), I know that Maurice would not be in SS. Unless he worked for a significant amount before going into the military. He is retired-military, they are not in SS. Had he become a civilian employee of NASA he also would not have been in SS, but in the civil service retirement system (NASA employees hired after 1986 would be in SS).
Still, I gave it a high rating because overall, the episode was very good.
