Providing
visitors to our town with 150 hours of fun, excitement, and
romance, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" has left its mark on the
television industry and against the tide of a male-oriented
world, has succeeded.
Despite the pleasure gotten out of the series, there may be
some problems you've had with some of the episodes. Have you
ever watched an episode of our show and just thought something
didn't make sense? Did you remember when there was a previous
mention of a specific date that has now been changed? Or perhaps
you would just like to see where some of the events in the series
fall in a timeline. We apologize for any errors, but sometimes,
they just manage to escape our notice.
You
can also find a sample compilation of editing errors visitors
have caught while watching Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
The "bloopers" will be listed under their corresponding
episode title. Do you remember any of them? Do you have
to go back and watch your episodes to find them? Do you have
some of your own to add? This is the place for you!
Whatever
reason you have for visiting this section of our town, we hope
you will enjoy your time here. If there's a nitpick you have
that you don't see here, please visit our telegraph
and share it with Robert E. He'll be sure to get it to us for
updates, but make certain you provide the season and episode.
Now,
feel free to read through timeline or just jump right to the
nitpicks. Wherever you choose to visit first, enjoy and have
fun!
