Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman: The Complete Series

One of the best shows out there for CLEAN TV, which really doesn't exist much today. It's all violence and swearing, sex. Blah blah, all stuff that a GOOD writer doesn't need to engage in to keep your attention. It's like OLD school vid games used to have to tell a FREAKY awesome story, because they didn't have wizbang graphics to cover for a bad story. Your kids could watch this show almost like Little House on the Prairie or the Waltons or something but a bit updated. Not much more than a polite KISS in this show if you're kids are watching it. Little House & Waltons probably more G rated than this but they're pretty close, just an FYI. Good writing, crap not needed to keep you watching.

This was a very wonderful series I enjoyed it it very much it's similar to Little House on the Prairie similar not quite it's a very long series there was only a few episodes I saw years ago then I bought the whole series a while back and then I recently bought it again the reason why I bought it again was the fact is that had the movie with it when the series was on television you never saw the movie least I didn't see it now all the characters are fantastic in the series it was a wonderful cast only thing there's a big disappointment on the movie part there was a couple of people that are not on it that I really liked it in the movie one was William Shockley who played is on his own bar and Jake was his partner and the other one is Matthews was Jane and sellers oldest son stepson basically you don't see him in there I am saddened that the whole cast is not there like it was red when I did buy it the whole cast was there and if they're not there in the movie and I honestly think deep down inside William Shockley is a very good actor and so is Matthews and at the end of the regular series it didn't give anything anything on if they died or whatever would it did do on William Shockley at the end it showed him last episode he own the bar and that was it that was the last thing you saw him he didn't die he didn't get married and didn't say anything Matthew turned around and wasn't Sheriff no more Sally's friend was Sheriff you don't see him in the movie at all no more so it is basically it left you high and dry on a few of the actors in this so you don't know if they're dead if they're alive or what it just cut him off and it doesn't give him a reason I'm still watching the movie I should have did a review at the end but here's some other characters like Jake's wife he is a wedding ring on still but she's nowhere in sight I'll give you more of an update the final update this is the final this is the one with Katie in it then there's one more I will give you the final after that but I'm disappointed with not all the characters at least they should have turned around and had them off the screen permanently like they died or got sick or whatever but left at high and dry like this with no indication what happened to them. I don't like that kind of a way of an endings on characters my last update for dr. Quinn and movie I did see the second movie of dr. Quinn when dr. Quinn and her family went back to Boston to see her mother if that was a very good movie the first one was a very good movie but all I could say there was a few of the cast that were missing that was never said where they went in the movie and that is sad to say there was at least four that I could see that they never mentioned what happened to him on the movie itself not in real life on the movie and you have to wonder would happen that's the only bad thing about this movie at the end you don't know a few of the people where they went in the movie I still give it a five-star it was a fantastic movie

There were a few glitches where the frames would freeze up on one of the programs and scenes were not complete. Otherwise, it was well done and very satisfying to watch an old favorite of mine. It's a shame that CBS does not let someone have the rights to this wonderful program. We need more like this on television for our children to watch in a family setting. Provides true values and excellent judgment in how to live life and relate to others. With the development of family in such tragic arrears these days, it's good to have to share with children and teach them family values, character, and integrity. It doesn't hurt for this "Boomer" to see a real love story develop and survive, also. It would be great that they could do a pick up of the series through feature movies as they did in the two tv movies from 1999 and 2001, if nothing else. Just a hint at some possible storylines - do Michaela and Sully have another baby; what about the new hospital and their commitment to the Indian cause; and does Colleen and her husband have children; what becomes of their hospital for the underprivileged; does Matthew ever marry and have a family of his own; does he become a lawyer; and what about Brian and his future life; don't forget Dorothy and Cloud Dancing and Jake and his wife; what becomes of Loren; let's not forget Robert E and Grace and the baby they are finally expecting. There are endless possibilities which could be addressed. Don't forget the historical perspective, also - the national park system, land preservation; the plight of the Indians, the development of the west. It would be a great way to see more of welcome family programming on tv, again. TIRED OF reality shows, ad nauseum!!!!! Hope this will reach CBS' attention. Thanks Jane Seymour and Joe Lando for being willing to continue should it be picked up again!!!!

Not every disc has the “play all” feature. Many episodes “hang” and stop playing in the last chapter or two so there is no way to watch the rest and the ending.

I loved the series in the 90’s but missed a bit of it. One thing hasn’t changed all these years….Cloud Dancing (Larry Sellers) has my heart. My favorite character in the show… he should have been in every episode, and the movie should have been about him and Dorothy ( Barbara Babcock) getting married in a Cheyenne ceremony and then in town. I think the writers missed an opportunity to showcase a very important story there. I know Sellers was a stuntman too and had back issues… or he may have been too busy with something else, but they needed to wrap that story up on a stellar note. Cloud Dancing had been through so much pain and heartache in his life, and Dorothy had been a domestic violence survivor as well as a breast cancer survivor. They needed each other and deserved the happiest of endings. It’s a shame as Cloud Dancing was so loved on the show. They were going to kill him off earlier in the series, but Lando and other actors told them they couldn’t do that.. he was integral to the series. I hate the network for canceling it before we could see more of him. Rest peacefully, Larry Sellers…. You stole my heart as Cloud Dancing. Well done, sir.

"Dr. Quinn" was on the air when I was in elementary school and I remember watching it occasionally with my family. When it came out on DVD, I was hoping to buy the seasons in stores but the prices were way too high. A few years later I started checking the DVD's out from the library, and decided I really wanted to own these. So I came to look at Amazon. For 42 discs, the price was very reasonable. I was a little nervous to buy the product after reading the reviews about poor sound and picture quality, but I figured if the product wasn't good I could return it and get my money back. It's been over four months since I bought it, and I watched the whole series and am currently watching it again. For overall quality, I give it a 99%. There wasn't anything wrong with the picture quality, and the sound quality was excellent except for on two discs in Season 6. There is one episode on each of those discs where a distinct popping sound can be heard. It isn't throughout both episodes, though, just on certain parts. It is kind of annoying but it doesn't prevent you from hearing the dialogue. I still give the product five stars because other than what I just mentioned, this series is perfect! 42 discs with each season in its own case. All the cases are stored in one box with the Dr. Quinn movies (Yes, they are included! Don't order them separately!) If you love this show, I highly recommend you check out this product.

I always admired Jane Seymour, so it leaves even me surprised that I never watched this series before. Caught an episode on cable TV a few months ago and was delighted with what I saw. However, coming into a *new* series without the background that this one requires would have made for a less enjoyable viewing. Therefore, when I saw what a low price Amazon had on this series with the movies included, I couldn't keep my finger off the *one click* button. I got my set in just a few days and have now watched the entire series (this is an update of my initial review). One of the things I really like about this show is that it's *clean*. No reliance on smut, profanity or shock value to entice the so-called mature viewer. There is some silliness -- Dr. Quinn's wardrobe should take up her entire house, for instance, and some of the plot lines are rather weak. (The girl with the webbed hands, for instance or the masquerade ball with Seymour in a Cinderella-like costume -- not likely, the plastic surgery Dr. Quinn is able to perform on the disfigured railroad engineer, etc). Balancing that are some excellent performances by the main cast and the recognition that this was never meant to be Masterpiece Theatre. Outstanding episodes to me were The Abduction and the one where Grace and Robert E.'s son faces a serious illness. I also really enjoyed the episode in which Mr. Brays *runs away*. There are more but these were especially good. Anyone uneducated in the treatment of Native Americans during this time period will appreciate that for the most part, Dr. Quinn truly doesn't gloss over it. We are presented with attitudes that would shock us now but which were common at the time. The Washita episode is heartbreaking and Larry Sellers did an excellent job in conveying the reality behind the perception of Indian stoicism. So it helps immensely that Dr. Quinn has a great cast (my favorites being the lovely Jane Seymour and the sometimes crotchety, always interesting Orson Bean in the role of Mr. Bray). Indeed, there are many, many exciting and very touching moments. Larry Sellers does a wonderful job in conveying Cloud Dancing's innate dignity and Barbara Babcock is perfect as Dorothy. I preferred Erika Florez as Colleen but Jessica Bowman is very good. Chad Allen has some fine acting moments and Joe Lando was a very pleasant surprise. The core of the series, of course, is the love story between Dr. Mike and Sully. They are *so* different. My favorite part of that storyline is the two-part episode which takes Michaela and the children to Boston with a (justifiably) jealous Sully discovering he has a worthy rival for her affections. So romantic, and so much fun to watch! Anyways, Dr. Quinn is a pretty good series, one you won't be embarrassed to watch in front of your great aunt Bessie or your pre-teen children. The DVD packaging is perfect, in my opinion, and I like that the titles are easily visible on each DVD. I've ordered some series where you had to get out a magnifying glass to see which DVD you were looking at! Very good show and one well worth the money. I'll watch it again in a few years.

I've only watched the pilot so far last night and I love it. He's some notes, though. The hinges to a few of them broke in shipping so that might upset some but that's just the way it is with cheap plastic nowadays. Otherwise, the discs each click into a door flap which is nice the way they've done it. Second, one a scale of one to five I give it a three for picture quality. Very very grainy for most of the pilot on my new 55inch with a sony blue ray as a player. If you're a picture quality fanatic this might not be for you. I will find out if it was just the pilot or all of them tonite when I watch the second one. Otherwise,​ the plot and show are excellent. I'm so glad I bought it. I remember being a big fan of this show when it came out and that still stands true all these years later. It's good values tv. I'm glad it was done back in the day before they felt like the needed to make violence so real with graphicness. So enjoy this show as I'm doing and share it with the family.
