It was (it was cancelled this summer after two seasons) one of those fish-out-of-water hour-long comedy/drama things. Anne Heche played a self-help author who happened to be on a book tour to rural Alaska [!] when her boyfriend back in New York City dumped her, so she decided to stay. Mostly it's about her interactions with the funky residents of the little seacoast town of Elmo (I've always suspected because of the location and the name, that it's supposed to be a fictional version of Homer, Alaska, where my parents and I once spent a few days on vacation a number of years ago). No one else I know of who's famous was in it, but I really liked James Tupper, who played the biologist she had an on-again/off-again romantic relationship with.
It was a lot like Northern Exposure in a lot of superficial ways. And I still miss it.
