Product Description
Return to the fifth complete season of DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN--a
family classic about a woman ahead of her time and the frontier
world she calls home. Jane Seymour (Live and Let Die, Somewhere in
Time) is Dr. Michaela "Mike" Quinn, a refined woman who trades the
petty prejudices of mid-19th century Boston society for a new set of
challenges on the wide open ranges of Colorado Springs. With an
adopted family of three orphaned children and mountaineer Byron
Sully (Joe Lando) by her side, Dr. Quinn and crew lead the way into
a changing America. Combining a distinctly modern sensibility with
detailed historical authenticity, DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN brought
a refreshing take to the television Western for six critically
acclaimed seasons. Rich in timeless values and tales of courage and
romance, this essential, first-time DVD collection features all 26
episodes from the fifth season of the five-time Emmy winning DR.
QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN. DVD Features: Commentary by Shawn Toovey &
Chad Allen on "Legend"; Cast Biographies; Interactive Menus; Scene
