"Psalm 151," the 100th episode of the popular series Touched by an Angel, is a thousand-hankie watching delight. At moments it's overly sentimental and as sweet as treacle, but at the same time the viewer will find it as irresistible as chocolate cake. This episode guest stars Wynonna Judd, who surprisingly has an amazing screen presence, and Celine Dion, who should definitely keep her day job as a singer. It's Monica's (Roma Downey) 100th heavenly assignment with the help of Tess (Della Reese). They've been brought to the house of a terminally ill boy, who has several birthday wishes he wants to fulfill. He has little time left, and needs all of his wishes to happen before he goes, and it's up to our sympathetic angel duo to help the little boy make his final dreams come true.

Also included on this tape is the first episode of the series, "Southbound Bus," which shows Monica's first assignment. Fans of the TV show will enjoy seeing this episode again, as it examines the origin of the characters, and they'll also see, in comparison to the rest of the episodes, how much the characters have grown. Newcomers to the series will have the wonderful opportunity to experience a heavenly introduction to Monica and Tess. The angels' first assignment is to help a rather angry and lost little boy; his mother ran away after her baby died, leaving her little boy and husband behind. The little boy is determined to find his mother again and to bring her home. With the help of Monica and Tess this may just happen. --Samantha Allen-Storey

5.0 out of 5 stars A very moving and wonderful episode., November 5, 1999

By	Gayle Ortiz ([e-mail]) - See all my reviews

My husband and I watched episode #508, Psalm 151 starring Wynonna Judd last night (Nov 4th) and it brought us to tears. We have been watching TBAA for most of this year and find the show refreshing and heartwarming. With all the sex and violence depicted on most tv programs, it's nice to be able to find something we can enjoy with our young daughters. Thank you TBAA for being available. Keep up the good work and I pray you stay on "forever". God bless all of you who are a part of putting this show on the air. Psalm 151 (amongst many others of your episodes) are such a joy to watch. We have just ordered it to include in our video library. Thanks again.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very touching episode..., April 7, 1999

By	rocky-o ('peripheral view') - See all my reviews

"touched by an angel" was so aptly named, for this show ,more than any in television history, has touched so many lives...and this, their 100th episode, is no exception. "psalms 151" is one of the finest moments in television history and i'm very glad the producers had the wisdom to release it on video. Special guest Wynonna gives a beautifully heart-wrenching performance as a mother of a dying child. After this, maybe Ashley won't be the only acting judd in the house. Ben Cross, of the film "Wide Awake", gives another splendid performance, and of course, roma downey & della reese give their usual angelic displays.But the one who always seems to be forgotten, is given a prime example of his extroidinary prescence. John Dye, who plays the angel Andrew, is spotlighted quite a bit in this episode, and for those, who in the past, have ignored his contribution, you won't ever again. his performance alone will have you cryin'. But make sure to bring along a couple of extra boxes of tissues, because the writing is so beautiful, and the directing is so magnificant, with subtle moments that are so poignant, you will be just a ball of wet by the end. The sayng "less-is-more" is often ignored in hollywood, as well as in life. But once you've been "touched"...

5.0 out of 5 stars Touched by an Angel: "151st Psalm", June 28, 2000

By	Amanda (Middlefield, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This episode of Touched by an Angel was the most incredible one I've seen yet! Wynonna is not only an amazing singer, but also an unbelievable actress. In this episode she gave an excellent performance of a mother of a terminally ill boy, and she did a wonderful job! I cried throughout the entire episode, and I would watch it again and again. This is not one that should be missed by anyone!
