DR.
QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN, a high-spirited, hour-long Western
family adventure series from The Sullivan Company and CBS Entertainment
Productions, is built around the exploits of Dr. Michaela ("Mike")
Quinn, a refined woman doctor who moves from the highly civilized
world of mid-19th century Boston to a rough-hewn frontier town
in 1860s Colorado to start her own medical practice.
Film
and television star Jane Seymour ("Live and Let Die," "Somewhere
in Time," "War and Remembrance") is Dr. Quinn, the strong-willed,
liberal-minded Easterner who befriends an enigmatic mountain
loner, Byron Sully (Joe Lando), and winds up adopting three
children (played by Chad Allen, Erika Flores/Jessica Bowman
and Shawn Toovey) when their mother dies of a rattlesnake bite.
While
the headstrong Michaela can be tough, Beacon Hill never prepared
her for such a rugged world where the people are as coarse as
the climate and their ideas seem from another time. By having
Dr. Quinn's sophisticated values clash with the considerably
cruder mindset of her Western neighbors, the series is able
to explore situations and issues that are very much a part of
life today. Whether championing the cause of gun control, exposing
environmental polluters, battling disease or sexist cowboys,
or liberating oppressed frontier women, Dr. Mike, at great personal
risk, bucks the conventional wisdom of the Old West and emerges
as more than just a pioneering feminist.
In
the tradition of "Little House on the Prairie," DR. QUINN, MEDICINE
WOMAN is steeped in traditional family values and an understanding
of the spirit and strength that built America.
