...And She Made House Calls Too ****

Outstanding television show where young Dr. Quinn gets her medical degree and gives up a life of luxury in New England and ventures forth to the wild west.

The scenery and the stories were absolutely captivating.

As the wonderful doctor, Jane Seymour etched an unforgettable character. Soon taking on a family when their mother is killed in an Indian attack, Dr. Quinn shows that she is a lovable person as well as a humanitarian.

As Sully, the Indian guide, Joe Lando was terrific in this part. At first brooding because of the death of Abigail, his wife, he learns to love the good doctor and they soon wed as he takes on the responsibility of a family.

With a terrific supporting cast led by Orson Bean and others, the show had different weekly stories. One was better than the other.

A show depicting warm family values. Our current presidential candidates could easily learn from this show.
