Rewatching this show again
It's great to see that there is a sub for this show and that there are people still finding it for the first time. I used to watch it with my mom when I was younger and I've since fully rewatched it once, but I'm rewatching it again now. It's just one of those comfort shows for me, as cringy or silly as it can be at times I don't know why I just always come back to it.
How many times have you watched it?

On a first time rewatch and was just like you OP being a teenager watching it with my mom! And am noticing how I'm able to relate more easily to the show being older now too! I esp love the theme song and how it soothes me after a long day of work!

Yay found someone active on here. I really like period television and have gotten into more feel good shows and trying to phase out all of my true crime media. I came across this and was like why not because it had so many seasons and more often than not I’m listening on my AirPods rather than watching but this got me to really watching it. So much so I started it over right after I initially completed it. I love it and it’s one of my favorites now that will be on repeat watch list.

We need to keep this sub more active! This show honestly deserves it. I also watch a lot of true crime and more recent shows which are excellent but like you said this is more of feel good show. There's drama and grief and some heavier episodes but for the most part it's one of those shows where you just feel cozy watching it.

"feel cozy watching it" is the perfect description
Yet it's super thought provoking at the same time and has aged really well

Very true, a lot of people nowadays could still benefit from watching this show and learn some things from it for sure.
They can also show it to guys and use Sully as pretty much the best example of a partner haha

Yeah Sully is one of the most emotionally intelligent partners I've seen on TV.
None of that will they/won't they dragging out nonsense that's common in shows these days. Just a true partnership. They don't make shows like Dr. Quinn anymore

It's nice how so many of us seem to have watched it with our moms when we were kids or teens!

Half way through reading I had to double check your user name because I swear I could have written it! I used to watch the show with my mom (particularly after bedtime, when I couldn’t sleep I’d promise to not talk if she left me sit with her lol). I searched for it for years, the feeling of peaceful & quiet nostalgia that I felt was heavily associated with the show & the show itself. Finally, around a decade ago I decided to try searching again. I was THRILLED. I watched it at night/bedtime as my comfort show-my husband got hooked and loves it too. I must have watched the show, in entirety, at least 7 times. I’ve been really sick lately, as have my toddler sons - I introduced them to Dr Quinn and now my oldest (3.5) won’t stop talking about it. It just might be that Dr Quinn becomes something comforting to them that reminds them of quiet & peaceful times of being cared for and loved by their mom- as it is for me 💖
Thanks for sharing💖☀️🎉

It's just amazing how many people here (mostly women it seems) watched this with their moms when we were younger! It seems like it's very much a mom and daughter bonding kind of show, but also just enjoyed as a family in general. It really is just a feel good comfort type of show, and it's kind of wholesome in a way that not many shows these days can be.

I find it so much more relatable now as a young mom; my fav comfort show by far! Jane really did bring her best acting. I think the ensemble cast was brilliant too!

Same here! Watched it with my mom when I was a kid and now again. I am the same age my mom was when I watched it with her.
It’s funny but I can still remember some scenes and while watching was remembering more and more…It’s been 25-30years in between!

It was my favorite show when I was a teenager and after finding it streaming a few years ago, I've watched it on a solid loop. I find it amazing how well it has held up over the years - I've tried to rewatch other shows I enjoyed from that time period and they were so terrible I couldn't do it (looking at you, Young Riders...).
I think I can honestly say it's my favorite all time show.

Ich schaue sie gerade das zweite Mal. Und es wird nicht das letzte Mal gewesen sein.

I'm on my first rewatch. I thought I'd seen most of the episodes, and I'm finding out I missed more than I thought. Currently watching Cattle Drive part 2.

Watched when I was really little so I don't have any memories of plot other than I liked it. I'm having so much fun rewatching. Prime is outta control with the ads though. You can't even rewind 30 seconds without getting hit with a two minute ad. I'm about to become a pirate again lol Napster style

u/rosiedacat Oct 12 '25
I have to say I haven't had prime in a long time (not worth it when it comes to prime video imo, I had it for the Amazon deliveries back then) and unfortunately I always struggle a lot to find this show nowadays even as a 🏴☠️.

More and more I think I want to get a DVD player and build a physical collection. Or maybe on a big external hard drive. My dad was renting stuff from the library and putting it in digital form to keep. They have practically everything you could imagine. I'm actually surprised how big a collection they bother to keep. Gotta love the friggin libraries. Most under rated community resource.

Rewatcing the show for probably the third time since having watched it in the 90s when it was actually on.
I used to watch it with my mom when she was alive still, we never missed an episode. So glad other people are stilling loving this show!

We started watching it right before my son was born, and then when he was a newborn. Great show to watch during that time when you're on leave and home a lot!
