Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

Long-lived and very popular (among women) series about the Wild West’s most beloved lady doctor. It’s not as if one needs an excuse to watch the ethereal Jane Seymour for one hour a week, but this series (though clearly geared towards the ladies) managed to wedge some actual spark and craftsmanship into its period production. One week it was an ‘equal rights’ theme; the next week could be a simply Western adventure tale. The show lived on way past its usefulness, but again – it is Jane Seymour we’re talking about here.
