Touched By An Angel is a show that can stand the test of time. For those that say the show is repetitive, they've missed the whole point and purpose of the show. The show dealt with the human condition, and I think touched based with every experience one could go through; always delivering the message that God loves us through it all. This is the second half of Season 4 with episode descriptions below. The season is thought to have been split because at it's height, the show was extremely popular and had numerous Promise Land crossover episodes, giving the season(s) an abnormal amount of episodes. The show hasn't been fairing as well financially as say Sex & The City or Lost so I encourage everyone to support and buy these season sets if they can. I enjoy and learn something from every episode I watch.

14. Deconstructing Harry
Monica and Tess arrive at the DMV where Tess has been instructed to obtain a driver's license. Her instructor is Doris (Lainie Kazan). Midway through the driving test, Doris tells Tess to follow a hearse, which leads them, both to the funeral of Harry Applegate. Doris enters the funeral and steals the ashes of her former lover with the wife chasing after them.

15. The Trigger
As Monica gives Tess an ice skating lesson we meet the seemingly happy Craig family at the rink where the son, Alex is finishing hockey practice. This family is Monica's next assignment as she gets a lesson that things aren't always what they seem with the family.

16. Doodlebugs
After the death of his wife, small town miister Erskine gave up his ministry and his lack of faith has spread to the rest of the townspeople. His children, Andy & Bits are loners, not knowing who to turn to with their problems. But when a man says God miraculously helped him win the lottery over the phone the children wait by their phone to hear from God, and they miraculously get an answer!

17. Redeeming Love
As Monica and Tess take a walk through the city streets, they stumble across Monica's next assignment, a young woman sleeping under a pile of garbage. The woman's name is Lydia and while she is a tenderhearted person, she is a crack addict. After giving birth to an unexpected baby Monica and a choir of angels help Lydia through her 7 day withdrawal.

18. Flights of Angels
Richard is an artist diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, a terminal sickness that has a debilitating effect on one's motor functions. Richard is in denial about the prognosis but his wife Sally is not, and she prays for guidance for her family. Richard is a painter and it's Andrews job not only to help him finish the painting but help him not take for granted the time he has left with his family.

19. Breaking Bread
A timid baker named Matt Colletti is closing up his bakery one evening when two white men attack his black assistant in the street. Matt witnesses the crime but is too frightened to come forward. Tess tells Monica that is their job to help him take a stand against the criminals, members of a white supremacist group.

20. God and Country
Rafael enters the army in an attempt to befriend a bitter soldier named Tomas. Tomas hates the army, in particular his commanding officer Colonel Victor Walls who the angels later find out is related to Tomas.

21. How Do You Spell Faith?
Monica and Tess arrive in the life of a single mother, Mary, to help her reconcile her relationship with her son Aaron. Herself a former athlete, Mary relates to her eldest son Michael, who is the star wrestler of Olympus High School. Aaron, on the contrary, is more cerebral and spends the majority of his time spelling out words to hide the pain he feels for not having a father and not being closer to his mother. When Michael (whom Aaron looks up to) dies, Aaron is distanced from his mother more than ever.

22. Seek and Ye Shall Find
Can Angels get amnesia? Well Monica does when she falls and hits her head outside a bus station in Savage, MI. Dr. Chester Crayton reluctantly treats Monica's injuries inside rather reluctantly. The doctor is on the way to a prison to watch the execution of a man who murdered his wife, whom he cannot forgive.

23. Cry, and You Cry Alone
Four aging comics sit around a diner table reminiscing about their careers and celebrating the fact that one of them is soon to leave on a cruise ship gig. One of the men offers to tell the story of Salt and Pepper, a famous comic team who suddenly broke up before they hit it really big. In the story Monica is a waitress at a Diner who tries to bring Salt and Pepper back together.

24. Perfect Little Angel
Monica and Tess meet their next assignment, Tracy Beringer as she achieves some very bad news via a letter in her mailbox. When she sees an ad in the paper for the Miss Colorado pageant, she tries to sign up to raise money. But she is worried that she could be kicked out and forfeit the winnings if the information contained in the letter is discovered.

25. Elijah
Jacob Weiss, a bitter slumlord, is sentenced to spend two weeks in one of his own tenements and the angels arrive to help him understand the error of his ways.

26. Last Dance
The pressure to abstain from sex before getting married is almost as great for teenagers Greg and Jill, as the pressure from their mothers to be perfect students. Jill's mother, Candace, still dealing with issues with her own past, demands complete chastity from her daughter. It is Monica and Tess' assignment to make sure these relationships don't self-destruct.

27. The Spirit of Liberty Moon
Perhaps the landmark episode of the series, The Spirit of Liberty Moon is a 2-hour special. The angels escort Edward Tanner CEO of Tanner Toys to China where Edward will decide if he should start manufacturing toys in Beijing. He brings along a worker, Jean Chang, who claims to be Korean but knows Chinese. After arriving in Beijing it is learned by the angels and Edward that Jean is really Chinese and searching for her husband, who got taken and "reformed" during the Cultural Revolution. Jean is considered an outlaw by the Chinese government and when taken and tortured Monica stays forever by her side. This episode is considered by many to be the most violent and the most heart-wrenching episode of the season.

Touched By An Angel is a show for people of all ages and generations. It speaks of the unchanging truth that God loves and watches over us along with his angels.

I was thrilled to learn that volume 4, #2 will soon be available. Touched By An Angel is one of THE best program series that CBS ever aired. I have nothing but praise for the show. Each episode relates to the experiences of everyday people and they are uplifting and inspirational. It is programing the whole family can watch.

For 9 seasons, we were graced with Touched By An Angel every week (every night if you watched the reruns on PAX or the Hallmark Channel). Now we're getting 'touched' every 9 months?? Ok, I have the entire scripts of seasons one through the first half of season four, memorized. I need some new material!!

I love this tv series I really do, but I am so tired of waiting for the next series to come out. I have the first 4 series on dvd, but at this rate,being middle aged ,I will be with monica tess and andrew before series 9 arrives. When is the next series (5) coming out- does anyone know?

Touched by an angel was a wonderful TV program. I am so grateful to be able to re-visit the show via these discs. The set came well wrapped and the case was in excellant condition. Keep up the good work. I hope Season 5 will be released soon. Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone knew when season 5 and following seasons are coming out?
I especially love the Judd's episodes.
I hope that they also come out with Promised Land on DVD as that was a great show as well.

What can be said about this landmark television series that hasn't been said? All I can say is speed up the releases and quit splitting the seasons in two. There are enough TBAA fans out there who will gladly pay for the DVD sets in full season format. Part two of Season four is TBAA when it THE HIGHEST RATED DRAMA on CBS and a Sunday night staple! The episodes are pure gold...the best of which are "Flights of ANgels", "Redeeming Love" and the classic episode season ender "The Spirit of Liberty Moon"! Feel the love and enjoy!!

Its a shame when we have over 250 channels and the only good family enetertainment is on dvd. They need to bring this show back to TV.

I loved this DVD. It is very uplifting family appropriate entertainment. Thank you for providing this wholesome entertainment. We need this in the midst of this troubled world. Thank you for the prompt service. It is getting harder and harder to get what you want with the economy so hard hit. The rental store I usually use had to close down. We can't always depend on Cable and Dish is so expensive. I feel that having what you know is good is the best way. My husband and I watch them over and over.
Thanks again,
Mrs Kitchen

TBAA gets my vote as the best ever on TV. The message is positive, but it doesn't sugar-coat life's problems. It is the only show I have ever seen that actually improved with age. I never grew tired of it and always finished watching each episode wondering how they would top it next week. But they always did.

Now that I own season 4 and rewatched the first really, really great episode in my mind (The Spirit of Liberty Moon) I am hungry for seasons 5 thru 9 which only get better because they had a lot more really, really great episodes. Season 9 was the best of all, I think. Unfortunately it appears that CBS and/or Paramount have taken the same sad approach that all of corporate America has taken.

When I entered the work force some 40 years ago, I took a job with a major oil company and my boss explained the company's philosophy. One, listen to your customers and give them what they want. Two, hire good honest hard working employees and go out of your way to reward good performance. Three, take another good look at numbers one and two, and the profits will come.

But that changed over the years to this. One, if you can't make $X profits on a product, stop selling it no matter how many customers want it. Two, find someone who will do the same work for less money even if product quality suffers and their jobs are moved overseas, putting Americans on the unemployment lines. Three, take another good look at numbers one and two, and our wallets get fatter.

My major oil compnay eliminated my job 39 years later in the name of profits. CBS and/or Paramount are willing to risk losing all of us as customers to fatten their own wallets.

I have been waiting 2 years for season 5. I'm getting angry and my patience is wearing thin. I have to seriously wonder if I ever want to give my hard earned money to either of them again.

Sorry, I needed to vent...
