Product Details
|
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
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!

Dr. Michaela Quinn, First Season!!!!,
By Tiffany H (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: The Complete Season One (DVD)
Return to Colorado Springs for the unforgettable first season of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman! This set gathers ALL 17 episodes from the show's groundbreaking first season, including the unforgettable pilot episode in which Michaela leaves Boston to come to Colorado Springs. Old fans will delight in revisiting favorite moments, like Dr. Mike's first kiss from Sully and Matthew's proposal to Ingrid. And both newcomers and old fans will be captivated by the story of a woman doctor raising three adopted children on her own in the west. The second season comes out in late September 2003, and includes the classic episode where Sully tracks down Michaela in Boston to tell her that he loves her. Both the first season DVD sets and VHS sets are pricy, but well worth it. The first season DVD sets come with such added features as the A&E Biography of Jane Seymour, an interactive tour of 19th Century Colorado Springs, a listing of series awards and honors, a listing of cast biographies, and a photo gallery.

This review is from: Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: The Complete Season One (DVD)
When this show was first on the air, I watched it faithfully every week with my oldest daughter (who was only about 6 at the time). It is great family entertainment - interesting story lines, and many values I fully support.Given that there really is not a lot on TV that I want my young children watching, it was really a bright spot in the weak. When it was rather abruptly cancelled, I was very disappointed (and didn't think much of what it was replaced with, nor the network's explanation that it was too old-fashioned, and people wanted something more "hip and modern"). Thanks to this wonderful DVD set, I can now share this show with my youngest daughter, who is now 10 and loves it just as much as her sister ever did!
