Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - The Complete Season 1 (DVD, 2003, 5-Disc Set)

The pilot and all of the first season of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman are chocked full of wholesome, family-oriented stories of a young female doctor's challenges and +compromises ofopening a new practice in rugged Colorado Springs CO. Excellent acting and a real warmth story lines make this first season so very popular. Sprinkled with tidbits of American history and negotiations with Native American Indian tribes, these are the type of programs you can watch over and over! Little violence; OK for small children.

I love this season one collection of Dr. Quinn. I used to watch the series religiously when it was on the air, and find the first couple of seasons especially heartwarming. Dr. Quinn is so passionate about her work, her character really is an inspiration. Wonderfully set in the nineteenth century West, this is a down-to-earth series that's perfect for the whole family. It has everything: "G" rated romance, adventure, and drama. Also has historic value as the show masterfully integrates historical events and actual people into the story, such as General Custer. If you have never seen Dr. Quinn, you really should check it out! I plan to buy the second season DVD set in the near future.

Dr. Quinn is a series that should definitely be on DVD. This show contains wholesome romance and a good sense of morals. Today's TV lacks all of Dr. Quinn's charm and family friendliness. Set in the late 1800s in the frontier town of Colorado Springs this first season brings to life the every day hardships of a female doctor finding her way as a physician and a new mother of three children she has aquired from a friend. A wonderful and amazing story!

As with the television series, "Road to Avonlea", my family and I also enjoyed this series. It was full of awesome characters and original stories usually with strong plots. The first season focuses on the culture shock that "Dr. Mike" faces being so far from home in a primitive location. Especially where women are only thought of as commodities. She must learn to gain respect of the locals and also the Native Americans, of which they come to accept her more quickly. She befriends a wilderness man called "Sully" who at first doesn't give her the time of day, but he's there in a pinch when he is needed. What I don't like in the series is sometimes, there's some strong language which makes it not so "family friendly". I personally think a lot of that could have been left out. But all the stories are touching and teach lessons about how precious life is. And how we humans should have always kept it sacred. Very enjoyable and exciting!

Dr. Quinn, is a classic story of a modern woman, struggling to survive in the rugged world of Colorado Springs, in the late 1860's. She comes from a privileged family in Boston, to the rugged frontiere, as a doctor, and is not prepared for the events that lie in wait for her. She learns to grow through her pains,accepting that the towns people do not accept a woman doctor, learning to love the children that were unexpectedly thrust upon her by a dear friend on her death bed, meeting indians, and trying to not have feelings for the ruggedly handsome and lonely mountain man,Sully! A must see for the whole family!
