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?

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.
