Description:
From the moment that Dr. Michaela 'Mike' Quinn (Jane Seymour) first stepped from the stagecoach into the mud of Colorado Springs, TV audiences had a new destination on Saturday nights. Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman won popular and critical acclaim--including five Emmy® awards--with its tales of courage, conviction and romance on the American frontier. When the show was cancelled after six seasons, it sparked one of the largest viewer protests in TV history.
This comprehensive collector's set gathers all 17 episodes from the groundbreaking first season--plus a host of exclusive extras--on 5 DVDs. Old fans will delight in revisiting favorite moments, like Dr. Mike's first kiss from Sully (Joe Lando) and General Custer's visit to town, while newcomers will be captivated by the gripping, family-friendly stories and painstaking authenticity. Return to Colorado Springs for the unforgettable first season of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, available for the first time on DVD!
Amazon.com:
Season one of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman captures the popular television series at its most charming and original: a gently feminist, 19th-century Western with mythic overtones, a Gunsmoke-like vision of small-town constancy, and an audacious love story that might best be described as Buckskin Bronte. British actress Jane Seymour scrubbed away her accent to play Michaela Quinn, fifth daughter of a well-to-do Boston physician who encouraged her to get a medical degree despite social obstacles.
The headstrong Quinn moves to rough-and-tumble Colorado Springs to set up a practice, faces stiff resistance from the locals, witnesses the brutality of white America's expansionism, and generally experiences a classic Western transformation from privilege to pioneering. Along the way, Quinn makes a heartfelt connection with the mysterious Sully (Joe Lando), a laconic outsider/cowboy-knight-errant/widower preserving his broken heart. While the series' pilot may be the best thing in this set, there is a lot to enjoy about further episodes (with such guest stars as Johnny Cash and Robert Culp) exploring Quinn's hard-won admiration from town skeptics. Dr. Quinn creator Beth Sullivan admirably balances the many influences and narrative forces at work; some of the best shows are idea-driven, such as 'Portraits,' which deals with prejudice. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - I wish T.V. was still like this
This is an excellent T.V. series. In a time were T.V. is all about sex and violence, I find I have to go back a few years and revisit shows like Dr. Quinn that were safe, and yes, always had a happy ending. I recommend this to any family or any person, like me, who can't find a t.v. show with a decent story-line to get into.
Rating: - Great buy
It has been years since I have seen this show and I was sad when they took it off the air. When I found it on DVD I just had to have it. I look on several different sites to find it and Amazon, has the best price for this product.
Rating: - LOVED IT
I loved the t.v series so much I am in the process of buy all the DVD's
Rating:  - CC
does not have close caption so i wouldnt recommend to deaf people. But other than that it is a good tv show
Rating:  - Dr. Quinn - Season 1
Dr. Quinn is a nice family series to watch. If you like mid 1800's stories and can tolerate a little righteous attitude from Dr. Quinn you'll like this set of DVDs.
