Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Matt Otter Honestly, this could've been great, I mean, I'm a HUGE fan of "Last of the Mohicans" so I'm all in for a good romance set against a backdrop that is not so ideal. Also, it was obvious this show was gonna have a lot of sappy moments and cheese, but I can go with that too.However, this show is just too preachy. Every single episode it's like T-minus 40 till Dr Mike is gonna make "that face" and then we're going to be treated to the most ridiculous and over the top characters and situations all ending with Dr Mike giving us her holier than thou speeches, and of course, she's always right and everyone else is wrong.I'm certainly not suggesting the times this show was set in were perfect, but give me a break. Not to mention, many of these "horrors of the white man" NEVER HAPPENED. It wasn't just a "few things" as others here tried to say, many of these falsehoods are very serious and sadly are still believed by far too many people.Hate to break it to you folks, but white soldiers never purposely infected blankets to kill Indians, sure, many Indians died due to European diseases, but that was the result of peoples ignorance with regards to how the immune system worked.I stopped watching after season 3 as I just couldn't take it anymore, looking back I don't know why I kept around that long, guess I kept hoping because as I say this show had great potential, sadly it just became someones vehicle to push their political beliefs.
ericadavies1982 I used to watch this when it was on TV, and then years later i have bought the box set, and looking at the episode list and the lists on the DVD they don't match up. anyway, i am so glad that Jayne saw the scripts and decided to take the role as Dr Quinn, in a way sad for her to make a personal choice to do the work cause of her husband, but after seeing the show and watching DVD if Jayne didn't take the part who would, also glad that the pilot casts of 4 members changed they didn't suit the characters as those who went on from episode 2. shame that Erika's father made a bad choice not to let her continue her role. i loved everything involved with the show. and i did see on many occasions that actors was used again. one that i remember (only today i watched a DVD), was a cowboy who went on the run with a baby, and later becomes Sully's best friend.
Armand remarkable show. or good food for each expectation. family values, a medicine woman in a men society, adventures, delicate love story, humor and victory of good. all sacred values of America, its universal images, clichés and great facts are present in this show. all in skin of nostalgic feelings. and with pink drops of understanding. so, it is not question of acting or realism. only purpose - health of emotions. so, the work is far to be disappointed. Jane Seymoore builds each necessary nuance to impose her character. each gesture, each good result , not far from fake, it is warm and gentle. like many TV series, it is only a fairy tale in new clothes. but it is OK. the fairy tales are always fashionable.
oprlvr33 Where do I begin with this incredible show. Bravo to to CBS and Beth Sullivan for realizing America was more than ready for another hit Western series, long after GUNSMOKE ended. What genius ability went into this production. In fact, that's an understatement. From its fascinating 3-hr premiere; not only were modern viewers captivated by a new television western, but that it starred mini-series queen herself, Jane Seymour, in the title role.Though most of the pilot characters were recast; kicking off the first season; it was all in good standing. The best replacement was Henry Sanders (ROBERT E). He brought so much more fire and personality to that role. And the introduction of 'Grace', whom he would later marry, was most endearing. Then, Sullivan needed a much younger, attractive 'Jake'; understood. How quaint, her own spouse, actor Jim Knobeloch, deemed perfect! 'Sully' would become Joe Lando's signature role. No actor could have replaced him. He will always be regarded as Byron Sully. William Shockley was unforgettable as 'Hank'. How could you honestly hate the guy? Yes he could be seriously temperamental at times, but he was always honest, and those gorgeous baby blues; he sure gave Sully a run for the ladies! This show brought the frontier life to a whole new perspective. It was kept real. Here you had a Bostonian raised, refined woman physician; trained under the masterful eye of her own physician father, endearing chance by taking a huge risk to move far away from home, to a wilderness she knew nothing about. Naturally upon her arrival, townsfolk would not take to her so keenly. A woman doctor was historically and realistically unheard of, in 1850. Obviously, a few colleges provided medical training to female physician's. However, like our 19th and 21st Amendments; they also were not taken seriously; still treated abhorrently as 'Assistant's, rather than certified doctors.And the Native American's. Their story was vividly portrayed, not just in the Washita incident, but also during the many trials with the Federal and Union Armys. This wasn't a typical shoot-em-up-cowboys-and-indians drama. It was history - brought to life. That is also what captivated audiences. Jessica Bowman taking over 'Colleen': Yes fans were disappointed. However, I felt Bowman brought a newer, fresh approach to the role, and adapted quite well. She eventually came through and made it her own. Besides, I seriously doubt any actual screen chemistry between (Ericka) Flores and the future 'Andrew'(Brandon) Douglass. Larry Sellers.....was legendary as 'Cloud Dancing'. What more can one say? I know I totally fell in love with him! Ingenious idea; matching him with 'Dorothy', during S5. Their screen chemistry was undeniable. I grew even more captivated witnessing the love blossom between them.And lest not forget, the addition of Daniel Simon; Legendary hunk - former 'Duke boy', John Schneider. Had producers decided Sully get killed off, Daniel would have been the only suitable mate choice for Mike.Shame to CBS for prematurely canceling it. There were several areas of blame; none of which were true. And most sadly, there has never been another series quite like this, today. The writers were exceptional, the directors brought scenes to life, and Sullivan made us fall in love with ALL her characters.Hats off to you, Ms. Sullivan, for the finest of the American frontier.
