Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Viewers who complain that every story on Touched by an Angel resolves in the exact same way--the divine intervention of angels--are missing the point. This show's fans aren't interested in psychology or clever plot twists; they want to know that rosy-cheeked angels, with caring eyes and soothing voices, will be there for them when their lives seem hopeless. Touched by an Angel gives shape to that wish in the form of beatific Roma Downey, prickly but loving Della Reese, and staunch John Dye as a trio of angels sent all over America to remind troubled souls of God's love. Though the message is consistent, the writing is not. Episodes are sometimes earnest but silly (a painfully sanitized portrait of homeless teens) or outright absurd (a farmer plagued by a drought decides to sue God). But at its best (as in an episode about HIV-positive girls at a summer camp who decide to form a suicide pact), Touched by an Angel can be thoughtful and warm. As in previous years, the fourth season pulls in guest stars of all stripes, including young stars on the rise like Thora Birch (American Beauty), Mandy Moore (A Walk to Remember), Meagan Good (Waist Deep), and Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous); actors well into their careers, like Janet Leigh (Psycho), Stephanie Zimbalist (Remington Steele), Swoosie Kurtz (Citizen Ruth), Robert Guillaume (Benson); and genuine old-hand superstars like Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno. The Fourth Season, Vol. 1 has no extras. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
A trio of angels Monica (Roma Downey), Tess (Della Reese), and Andrew (John Dye) are dispatched from heaven with a special mission: to inspire people facing sometimes unseen crossroads in their lives. Monica, an angel who at times still needs some guidance with her earthly assignments, reports to Tess, her tough, wise and always loving supervisor. Also on hand is Andrew, who, in addition to his duties as the Angel of Death, now helps out as a caseworker on carious assignments. Gloria, an angel for the 21st century, continues to seek guidance from Monica performing her angelic duties. While the angels may not bring solutions to every problem, they always deliver a message of hope.

I thought I would update this review. Many people are complaining about the Seasons being split up and the cheaper packaging. Home Improvement has started down this path as well (with cheap packaging) because previous seasons have not been selling well. I can only guess the same is happening with Touched By An Angel. I don't think any of us want to see TBAA dissapear off the radar. We really need to support this show and make sure they release future seasons.
Here is the list of episodes in this set:
Joe's Return-
Nathaniel's father suddenly returns and wants to be a part of Nathaniel's life again. His past is uncovered and why he has been on the run is revealed. (2 hour episode)
Great Expectations -
The angel Taylor (Chris Burke) is back with Monica, Andrew, & Tess to help minister to a couple who finds out their unborn baby will be born mentally retarded.
Nothing But Net-
Rafael (Alexis Cruz) and the angel trio help a rude and cocky All-Star basketball player who is hiding his weaknesses from the world and is a bad influence to a special young fan.
Children Of The Night-
The Angels guide a group of teenagers who live on the street and are on the run in fear of being returned to their families.
Jones vs. God-
After a long drought and poor crops a man decides to sue God in a professional court hearing. A ridiculous premous but a touching ending as always.

I love the series. It's very uplifting. But the only one I know of that can't release an entire season at once :(
Never thought an angel would be passing the collection plate more than once during a service. I did pay for both volumes of the third season. Which was basically twice as much as it would cost me for an entire season of any other series.
Sorry Monica, I'll wait 'til they get bundled up from now on.

While I am disappointed that once again this season is split up into two volumes just like season three, I am just glad that they are continuing to make the show available on DVD.
In my opinion, it's not the number of episodes that are in the set that counts; it's the episodes themselves and the messages that they deliver. I purchased this because this show was my favorite when it was on. I made sure to tape it if I was going to be away when a new episode aired. I even watched reruns of it on PAX for a while.
So even though yes, it is split up, it is still here to purchase and when volume two of this season comes out, you can bet that I'll be buying that as well.
I highly recommend this to any fan of TBAA. It's half the season, but the wonderful messages are still there.

Touched by an Angel Touches Again!
I have all 4 seasons now. Again, I was blessed by the content, accurate portrayal of humans in many circumstances, and the fact that angels are watching--waiting to help.

love this TV series because it provides great inspiration, i.e. it makes you feel that you have a goal, a "mission" in life, that you don't happen to be here on Earth "by chance". Read more
