When I was thinking of buying this, the description didn't say what episodes were on it. None of the feedbacks did either. While I appreciate the anger of people over the release/nonrelease of the different seasons, etc. I didn't read the feedback to learn about how upset people were. I wanted to know what episodes were on this particular DVD. So here they are: Fear Not (Wayne, played by Randy Travis, deals with his brother Joey's growing fear) The Feather (a con man comes to town to exploit the miracle that occurred and encounters real Angels sent by God) An Angel on the Roof (three truckers are led by a light to an Inn, where it suddenly seems like the first Christmas) and It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, which is my personal favorite, although I love all these episodes. This one has Monica trying to calm Joey (Wayne's mentally-challenged younger brother) when Wayne is caught in a blizzard. She tells him of the Christmas she spent with Mark Twain. I was thinking of these great Touched By an Angel Christmas episodes one day and thought, "Somebody ought to make a DVD of just those episodes, so people could watch them at Christmas." And I checked Amazon and found that they had. I'm sorry that the big fans of TBAA haven't been able to get the DVD's of the show that they want in the way they want, but I'm thrilled that they did this collection. These episodes are wonderful; they'll make a great addition to your Christmas celebration.

Although it would be great to have all the seasons of Touched By An Angel available, this DVD needs to be rated for what it is. I think it's great that they took the Christmas episodes and put them all on one DVD! I am always going back through my sitcom DVDs at Christmas to watch just the Christmas episodes and wish every year that someone would take those episodes for that series and put them all on one DVD so I can watch them all at Christmas. Someone did! I don't dispute that it would be great to have the rest of the seasons of TBAA, but the episodes on this DVD are good episodes and should receive a better rating - save the 1 star ratings for CBS and the others, don't put down the show itself! If you enjoy the show and especially like to watch the Christmas episodes during the holidays, then buy it! I had a few of them on video and am glad that I can get them on DVD now. Buy it - you won't regret it! P.S. People who refuse to buy this to "fight" against CBS are really only hurting themselves - they are missing out on some great seasonal episodes that can help remind us of what Christmas is really about!

I totally agree that seasons 5-9 need to be released. Instead of complaining, how about we be pro-active to a solution. We can ask CBS and Paramount how many advance copies they need sold before they release the various series? As far as cost goes, I will not fall for the trick of paying full price for 1/2 a season after the first 2 seasons were released all in one for the same price. I remember wanting a song from Celine Dion and the company would only print the disk when they had enough advance orders. You would think that these companies would want to keep happy customers in these down times. I am willing to ask - are you?

The last ditch alternative is to get creative with your DVD recorder and the Hallmark Channel and build your own seasons 5-9. Hey TV is free, why not?

I am considering buying the holiday inspiration collection. I enjoyed all the episodes included on it, but am disappointed that "The Violin Lesson" from December 22, 1996 is not included. However, the "Christmas Miracle" and "The Feather" were excellent episodes that I recorded on VHS. I will have to buy season 3 if I want "The Violin Lesson" episode.

I had the VHS tape call A Christmas Miracle that had "Fear Not" & The Feather" which I love Dearly. The tape is getting very old and I wanted to replace it with a DVD. The DVD has the 2 I mention above but also has 2 others which are ok. I still give thumbs up.
I really enjoy the first two the best!

Very good family movies, emphasizes good values for everyone. Feel good movies that we need more of with less violence and with a great message.

i love the fact touched by an angel put the xmas shows with randy travis all together on one dvd and the one that they recreate the birth of jesus all the xmas ones are the best xmas ones they have had and they are my favorites
i would so recommend these dvd to fellow xmas movie loves and people of all ages

Touched by an Angel: Inspiration Collection - Love

With nearly half of the ENTIRE SERIES already available on DVD, you'd think the next logical step would be to release Season 5, right? CBS and Paramount has apparently dropped this idea, and will only be releasing "collections" of the episodes that are considered the "best". There are only 4 episodes on this set, 3 of which has been released on DVD already.

I know I should be happy but I'm not. I assume this is for financial reasons (not like CBS and Paramount combined are hurting) and this is better than nothing but it is a lame attempt to appease the fans when nearly half of the series on DVD has been released already. Nearly every tv show known to man is being released on DVD, and they pull a stunt like this? I would say this release should not be supported, but I fear if it's not they will never release seasons of TBAA on DVD again. This is truly a disappointment, and that's an understatement.

I LOVE this show and was looking forward to seeing the next season but "CBS" thinks not, they figure that putting out garbage is better and that is what the people really want. WRONG!! to see a show that you can walk away from after watching and feeling better having seen it NEVER happens and thanks to "CBS" will never happen again.
