What could be better than watching the adventures (or misadventures) of a headstrong lady doctor forging her own life in the wild west and making a name for herself in the process?
I'd argue the addition of a supportive male lead who pretty much encourages her to do whatever she thinks is best because she's the boss and he knows it.
Dr. Michaela "Mike" Quinn was the kind of woman we all dreamed we would be if we had grown up in the Wild West and Byron Sully was the kind of husband we all hoped we'd have.
The beloved show lasted five seasons beetween 1993 and 1998, but do the actors look like now? Almost 10 years later, let's take look at them then and now!
