Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Touched by an Angel swiftly amassed a devout following, drawn to the TV series' clear Christian values and the warm performances of Roma Downey (she of the creamy complexion and lush pre-Raphaelite hair) and Della Reese as Monica and Tess, two angels sent to help troubled human beings. The first season had the additional virtue of exploring the ordinary yet complex emotional problems of troubled marriages, rebellious teens, and coping with the death of a loved one, in stories that were (with a few exceptions) cleanly written and down-to-earth--though, of course, everything was resolved by divine intervention. The second season, regrettably, dives into melodrama: A pregnant woman is trapped in a bank vault after her husband tries to rob the bank; a lawyer meets up with an old girlfriend, not knowing that her wicked ambitions caused his best friend to commit suicide; a postal worker sends atheistic replies to children's letters to God--and it turns out that he's an Auschwitz survivor. Even episodes grappling with what could be compelling material, like a stripper who feels responsible for her daughter's birth defect, get pushed over the top when Tess saves the day by creating a hot air balloon out of thin air. Certainly, God can accomplish miracles, but the second season of Touched by an Angel loses sight of his subtlety and mysterious ways. Nonetheless, fans will continue to take comfort in the show's message about divine love.

Episodes feature a wide range of guest stars: Movie actors like Elliott Gould (M*A*S*H) and Stacy Keach (Fat City); old television hands like Hal Linden (Barney Miller) and Cindy Williams (Laverne & Shirley); non-actors like poet Maya Angelou and singer Natalie Cole; and such, well, lesser celebrities as Kathie Lee Gifford (Live with Regis and Kathie Lee.) John Dye joins the series in this season as Andrew, a handsome angel of death. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars A family-friendly breath of fresh air... July 28, 2005

By Britt Gillette

Format:DVD

Nominated for 3 Golden Globes and 12 Emmys, including two by Della Reese for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, Touched By An Angel built a sizeable and loyal audience with its upbeat themes and inspirational storylines. The brainchild of John Masius, creator of Providence (1999) and writer for such hit series as St. Elsewhere (1982) and LA Law (1986), Touched By An Angel follows in the footsteps of Michael Landon's successful series Highway To Heaven, which chronicled the exploits of a single angel who wandered across the United States providing support for lost souls in need of aid. Touched By An Angel is quite similar, but the series uses multiple angels to achieve its purpose. Like Highway To Heaven the series utilizes a contemporary setting and modern problems, allowing the show reach a broad audience who enjoy its themes of love, hope, and redemption...

Touched By An Angel follows the exploits of several angels sent to Earth as "caseworkers" so as to bring God's message of love, peace, and hope to the distressed people of the world. When the series begins, Monica (Roma Downey) is a novice caseworker still in training (having just been promoted from "search & rescue"). Assisting Monica, and a caseworker in her own right, is Tess (Della Reese) who lends the wisdom of her many years of experience in dealing with the problems afflicting humanity at large. Together, these two angels interact with people on Earth, easing the burden of each soul with which they come into contact. In later seasons, Monica and Tess would be joined by Andrew (John Dye), the Angel of Death who also fills in as a caseworker to help lighten the load, and in the final two seasons (2001-2003), Gloria (Valerie Bertinelli) would join the trio as a regular recurring angel character...... Overall, Touched By An Angel filled a desperately unmet need along the TV programming landscape. With much of today's programming fixated on sex, violence, and "reality," the hour-long CBS drama provided deeply probing family-oriented content which always left its viewers with a positive and upbeat feeling...

The Touched By An Angel (Season 2) DVD features a number of touching episodes including the season premiere "Interview with an Angel" in which Monica is given the task of granting an interview to a journalist writing a piece on human encounters with angels. The reporter, Callie, is quite skeptical, but when Monica recounts the story of a couple that granted forgiveness to another person, Callie unwittingly becomes the subject of an angelic encounter herself... Other notable episodes from Season 2 include "The Big Bang" in which Monica reveals herself to a married couple intent on robbing a bank and exacting revenge on its president, and "Lost And Found" in which Monica and Andrew come to the aid of a troubled detective haunted by his failures while working for the Centre for Missing Children...

Below is a list of episodes included on the Touched By An Angel (Season 2) DVD:

5.0 out of 5 stars ALLRIGHT, NOW, GET SEASON THREE OUT THERE!!!! May 9, 2005

By a viewer

Format:DVD

With seasons one and two out I'm aching for season Three to get out there!!! I immediately went out and bought this the day it was released! This is TBAA in its prime element. Every episode is outstanding. The disks have been beautifully packaged but the sad thing is, there are no extras in here. But then again, this show doesn't need any! It is enough to have the episodes in their entirety seeing them digitally remastered with vibrant color (OPERATION SMILE EPISODE CASE IN POINT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!...YOU ALL MUST WATCH THIS ONE IF ONLY FOR THE CINEMATOGRAPHY!!!). Without a doubt the most inspiring, edifying, morally satsifying television program ever! CBS did us a disservice when it was canceled. But watching the Season by Season DVDs are like watching TBAA for the first time!! Now, get Season Three Out on the double!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars QUALITY DVD FOR QUALITY SHOW June 23, 2005

By Coolshorty

Format:DVD

This is first class all the way, from beginning to end. Your money will not be wasted with this DVD. And, it is something to share with your family and friends over and over again! TBAA is a one of a kind show with beautiful and inspiring messages! My favorite episode of the second season is "Portrait of Mrs. Campbell" because I have a mentally challenged brother who is in a nursing home so this struck home with me! What a show!

1.0 out of 5 stars Great series/Poor quality DVD May 23, 2005

By R. Jones

Format:DVD

Previous reviewers already commented on the series. I really liked the show and that is why I purchased the DVDs and most of those interested in buying this set are probably familar with the show. My rating of one star is a reflection of the picture quality. I have not seen any other set as poor as this. Even remastered 60's and 70's shows are not this grainy. If you have an HDTV this will really be noticable. Even on my 21 inch Sony that I have in my bedroom I can notice the poor quality. At the price they are charging you would think they can do something to improve this. It is hard to believe that shows like Dallas and even Gilligan's Island have extremely superior picture quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best show August 15, 2005

By Janet Collins

Format:DVD

Touched by an Angel is a very inspiring and heart touching show. I thank GOD for shows like this. These are the shows our children need to watch. I'm like many others, I can't wait for the other seasons to come out. Touched by an Angel is highly recommended. I love this Show. Before I got married my Mom and I would always watch Touched by an Angel together when it was on tv. Now I have Season one and two on DVD and I now have my husband watching the show. He likes the show very much. You may want to have tissues near by, because you will need them I've cry on many. Like I said this is a very heart touching show.

I also recommend Highway To Heaven, Little House on the Prairie these also are great family movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL SERIES FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY! June 24, 2005

By Courtney

Format:DVD

"Touched by an Angel" is a diamond in the rough of the stones of television. This DVD collection is a must for those who are tired of "reality garbage", "CSI clone crime unfulfilling dramas", and sex filled crap! This show is destined to become a classic! You will not be disappointed in this collection if you desire wholesome, uplifting, moving television. Have kleenex handy for many of these episodes, especially "Till We Meet Again"! Let the miracles continue with Season Three!

A Kid's Review

Format:DVD

This Touched By An Angel Season 2 DVD boxset is SO GOOD! It's just as good as Season One, and continues to bring absolutely heart-touching shows. Roma Downey is such a good actress for Monica, and does perfectly. Of course, ALL the actors do TREMENDOUS!!!! I would definitely choose this for your next buy.

My fav episodes on this are "Operation Smile", "Birthmarks", and "The Big Bang", but I love them all!
