Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

**Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman** is an American television Western drama series created by Beth Sullivan for CBS which aired from 1993 to 1998.

## Premise

## Why It Was Cancelled

"Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" was a hit for CBS, drawing large ratings despite the fact that it aired on Saturday nights. Despite the high ratings, CBS claimed that the demographics changed during its run; in the show's final season, the majority of viewers were women 40 years of age and older instead of the male & female 18-49 demographic that TV networks try to reach.

In response, CBS ordered the show's writers to give it a slightly darker feel than in the previous seasons which made the 6th season darker than any previous season. Some fans were not pleased with the changes while others felt that the tensions & high drama benefited the show.

Despite the opposing opinions from fans, the ratings for "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" remained steady & consistent. After the 6th season, the show was suddenly cancelled in 1998 after six seasons.
