Beth Sullivan is a wonderfully talented writer, and the actors and actresses are magnificent. The show promotes strong values, without the audience feeling like those values are being stuffed down their throats. And it isn't unrealistic in the portrayal. Granted problems are solved quickly in order to fit within its time slot, they are still real problems. None of the characters is perfect or even comes close to perfect. Even those, such as Jake and Horace, who are not the main characters have depth. Therefore, through the writing of Sullivan and the acting brings the world of Dr. Quinn to life.

Dr. Quinn was most definitely a rarity in television shows, and it is a pity that they cancelled it.

As for the special features on the DVD - there aren't many of them, but it does include a short featurette about the show, which includes many interviews. There is a short biography about some of the actors/actresses, and credits awards that the show has received. While I think they should have included more special features, the show is so wonderful that I am not going to give it less than 5 stars because of this lack.
