In its original run, the show aired on Saturday Nights, which was considered a terriable time slot at the time. At first, most of the cast were not fans of the time, but creator Beth Sullivan called it a "blessing." The show went on to preforme quite well! See more »

It is a sad day when programs produced for general family viewing are so few and far between. However, it is comforting to know that Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman joins the ranks of great family programming. One of my favorite episodes is 'Just One Lullaby', which depicts the thin line between school discipline and abuse. I did not agree with the way in which the teacher 'got a taste of her own medicine' toward the end of the episode, but it proved the adage that 'what goes around, comes around'.
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman may just go down in history as a great television classic.
Huzzah for this one.
