Maybe they will produce a TV movie about Dr. Quinn in the 21st Century, in the modern era.
During Covid 19! Or Dr. Quinn in
Outer Space. Or maybe Dr. Quinn is the towns Drug Dealer!

I also watched Dr. Quinn when I was young with my family each week. I’ve been re-watching the series and just finished the Washita episode and cried my eyes out! The scene where Dr. Mike screams in the barn was so heart wrenching. All the more so, because of the truth behind the episode. I agree with all you said, and yes, we all love Sully! Thanks for writing this review.

In reply to dixiedragon. You could see this writing as intentional. She comes from a rich family, is educated and well spoken. These advantages makes you sometimes forget that your point of view isn't universal. She is entitled herself in someway. This could be the reason she has good intentions, but seem te

In reply to dixiedragon. That's a really great point! I know what you mean, there were times watching as an adult that I was surprised at how almost naive she is (though I think she did everything with good intentions). But like you said, it's a great show even with that :)

I am currently rewatching the entire series and have learned something extraordinary. During the original airing, I admired Michaela, thought she could do no wrong, backed her every move. She was strong, fair-minded, chose her battles carefully and fought them honorably. Now, some 25ish years later, 90% of the time, I don’t like her character. She is willful, always forcing HER own way onto others, she was hypocritical, often taking a position in an argument but doing exactly the opposite a few episodes further down the road, a BIG problem is her ability to lie covering up the truth, all the while preaching that honesty is the best policy (her hypocrisy), she constantly meddles in the business of others all too often creating more problems than she solves, or making a difficult situation impossible. I find I’m more often than not urging her to back down, to stop and think before she speaks, or not to act at all, knowing what trouble she is going to create… I think my change of heart has everything to do with the 25 years I’ve had to grow and mature, to no longer take things at face value and recognize that there are any number of ways to tackle a problem and still avoid conflict or hurting innocent people – I don’t blindly believe in everything she does – a huge difference over such a short period of time…but the series is still as great as it was the first time around.

In reply to Birdie.

Thanks for commenting, Birdie! I think someone in production made a really smart choice putting Dr. Quinn in that particular time-slot!

Yeah, I noticed when I started rewatching, I got sucked right in. It’s just so compelling…

What a great post. Oh, the nostalgia… Like you write, for me and my family watching Dr. Quinn was also a family activity, every Saturday evening and even my father would often watch along! And yes, I also had a crush on Sully!

Now you’ve gone and made me want to rewatch this… And I don’t have the time…
