«Dr. Quinn's megaseries of good clean entertainment!»
No doubt about it, the complete series of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman provides a wallop in good clean entertainment. In all this series has forty-two discs and if you factor in the cost of the entire series you are looking at a tad over a dollar per episode. Keep in mind there are three or four episodes on each disc, episodes you can watch time and time again if you so choose. The movies are also included. I've read all the other reviews, agree with some points and beg to differ on others. I'm giving this series five stars, not for its minor glitches, but for the series itself. It's just plain old wonderful!
The packaging was well thought out. Each disc is firmly tucked in its respective pocket, each page is glued back to back with the next and therefore the discs seem tight. I simply tuck a finger under the paper in the front, reach in with my spare hand and carefully remove the disc. The ring bound book can be tucked inside an accompanying hard cover sleeve to really keep the dust and grime out.
I like the fact that there is a good table of contents, index and brief summaries under each disc in the book. If anyone can recall a favorite episode, it's easy to find! Not being as familiar with the series as I'd only seen a few, I find that when I put a disc in and click for an episode there is a more in depth recap of each story. They're all so good I haven't skipped one over yet.
Glitches? Well, I suppose you can find a glitch in anything if you look hard enough. The only one that irks me can be easily remedied. The voices are not in sync on many of the discs. I opted not to return the series as it was a great buy. I either rewind slightly or open my DVD player and put the disc back in. That little move is an easy, quick fix and voila! The voices are right back on track giving me my entertainment fix for the evening. If you are an easy going person this "fixable" glitch won't bother you, but if you are a perfectionist it might drive you batty.

«No captions; no subtitles»
We just watched the pilot episode and enjoyed it thoroughly. BUT there is no close-captioning and no subtitles. We would have paid more to have that feature.

«Great series but...»
This is an excellent series, but be aware that these DVDs do NOT have closed captioning or subtitles. Also, the packaging is flimsy. The studio definitely skimped on this set.
