Touched by an Angel: TV Guide News

touched by an angel
A wholesome and popular fantasy that plays into the public's fascination with heavenly messengers who bring comfort, healing and various life lessons to mere mortals. The series follows the earthly adventures of a divine visitor named Monica and her celestial supervisor, Tess, who alternately counsels and chastises her. After a shaky first season in 1994, it soared in the ratings, becoming a Top 10 hit and earning two Emmy nominations each for Roma Downey and Della Reese.
  • I'm wondering what you think ... | Matt Roush | 7/27/2007
    Question: I'm wondering what you think of Saving Grace. I'm from Oklahoma, so I'm trying to figure out if my disappointment with the show comes from how it stereotypically portrays Oklahomans. There are the cowboy and Indian detectives. The angel chews tobacco. Part of the first episode took place at the stockyards, with the redneck millionaire cattleman hitting on Grace. The only character who doesn't seem like a walking stereotype is Grace herself, and she just seems off. A detective in... read more
  • I'm a little worried: I love ... | Matt Roush | 7/20/2007
    Question: I'm a little worried: I love The Closer and I enjoy watching Heartland right afterward. But the previews for Saving Grace indicate that it is going to go on in the Heartland time period. Have they already canceled this great show? I hope not. I hope they are just going to preview Saving Grace, then it will move to a different time period. Please don't tell me that Heartland is leaving already. It has only been on for a few episodes. Answer: Matt Roush: You're right to be worried.... read more
  • Big Names Bold Roles Hot Shows Glenn Close does Damages while Holly Hunter finds her Saving Gra | Matt Roush | 7/18/2007
    Patty Hewes loves red meat. "I'm thinking steak," declares the glamorously ruthless litigator, played to the cunning Cruella De Lawyer hilt by Glenn Close in FX's twisted new legal thriller Damages. When told her naive young protégée is also a carnivore, Patty approves: "Atta girl." Meaty roles like Patty Hewes — and Saving Grace's Grace Hanadarko, a booze-swilling Oklahoma detective on the fast track to self-destruction — have brought dazzling stars with the Tony and... read more
  • Is Aisha Tyler off Ghost ... | Today's News: Our Take | 5/10/2006
    Question: Is Aisha Tyler off Ghost Whisperer? Her character, Andrea, died in the finale! Answer: Exec producer Ian Sander says, "If you think you know what's happening next season — think again. With Ghost Whisperer, the possibilities are endless." Aisha's personal publicist, meanwhile, assures me that her client has not been fired. "It's the nature of the show to be mysterious and deal with unique viewpoints," says the rep. "And obviously, it deals with spiritual issues. It may... read more
  • How often have you seen a ... | Matt Roush | 4/28/2006
    Question: How often have you seen a show start off mediocre or as a disaster and then become a surprise hit? I can think of only one. Touched by an Angel was written off as dead after its first season and surprised everyone by being renewed. The second surprise came when, after being renewed, it suddenly came out of nowhere and became a top-10 hit. Do you really think Commander in Chief could pull that off? Answer: Commander in Chief, no. Its best bet would be to be regarded as a possible... read more
  • Malcolm's Reese Woos a Golden Girl | Today's News: Our Take | 4/14/2006
    Olympic gold-medalist Tara Lipinski expands her TV repertoire even further when she throws Malcolm's brother Reese for a (toe) loop on this weekend's Malcolm in the Middle (Sundays at 7 pm/ET). TVGuide.com talked to the 24-year-old cutie about her latest small-screen venture, the racy film role she bailed on and how she almost went Skating with Celebrities. TVGuide.com: Tell me about your Malcolm in the Middle role. Who are you playing, what's she about...?Tara Lipinski: I play... read more
  • A thought hit me a few weeks ... | Matt Roush | 11/14/2005
    Question: A thought hit me a few weeks ago about the show Reba. Perhaps you and other critics should recommend this show to the more conservative viewers. While the humor isn't always top-notch, it is a comedy that has values. The WB should stick it after 7th Heaven instead. To me, Reba is similar to Touched by an Angel in that the show quality isn't always superior, but it does entertain and have values. Would critics such as yourself be able to suggest this show to those viewers seeking shows... read more
  • I have a question about a ... | Today's News: Our Take | 10/20/2005
    Question: I have a question about a movie I saw a long, long time ago. I don't know the name of it, but I do know some details. It is about two girls who, while taking a trip, are stopped by a sheriff who arrests them and sends them to prison. They don't see much of each other while in prison, but when they do, they talk about how they were framed and how they both want to escape. I must note that these girls were pretty, and I think this is why the sheriff arrested them, because in this movie... read more
  • What do you feel about Ghost ... | Matt Roush | 10/14/2005
    Question: What do you feel about Ghost Whisperer? The CBS honchos made a big mistake when they said talking to ghosts plays better than talking to God. I personally don't think this show's acting and writing is of the same caliber as Joan of Arcadia's. Ghost Whisperer is just the 21st century's answer to Touched by an Angel. Been there, done that. Answer: Nothing could make the CBS honchos, as you call them, happier than to have this show likened to Touched by an Angel, which had a... read more
  • I noticed there was a glut of ... | Matt Roush | 9/23/2005
    Question: I noticed there was a glut of supernatural shows coming this season — joining the Lost trend, I suppose. I was wondering if a show like, say, Tru Calling was coming this season, would it be more likely to stay on the air? The reason I ask is that I saw a preview for Ghost Whisperer and thought it looked like a cross between Medium and Tru Calling. Answer: We have yet to see how many of these new fantasy/horror/sci-fi shows will survive, so there's no guarantee a show like Tru... read more
  • Am I wrong for thinking ... | Matt Roush | 8/26/2005
    Question: Am I wrong for thinking something as corny as Ghost Whisperer will be roundly mocked by the critics and still do well? From Touched by an Angel, Dr. Quinn and Diagnosis Murder to, more recently, Judging Amy and The Guardian, it seems like CBS has always realized that there is an audience for a certain type of schmaltzy drama and GW seems to fit the bill. The only alteration seems to be sticking a bunch of really pretty young people in the cast to try to draw some kids in, too. I... read more
  • Could you please tell me what ... | Today's News: Our Take | 8/18/2005
    Question: Could you please tell me what year and network Get Christie Love was on and who was its star? How long did it last on television? Thanks!Answer: Get Christie Love, which sought to play off the renown of such tough blaxploitation cookies as Cleopatra Jones and the legendary Pam Grier's Coffy, debuted on ABC in September 1974, starring the late Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In bikini girl Teresa Graves as the titular undercover cop. The big problem is that the genre's popularity... read more
  • The "If it ain't broke, don't... | Matt Roush | 7/21/2005
    The "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" doctrine is alive and well at CBS. At least that's the impression you get after spending two days in the network's company as the first of the broadcast networks presenting a fall lineup at the summer press tour. Although No. 1 in prime time, with the hottest nights of drama (Thursday) and comedy (Monday), they're not especially cocky. They didn't produce the breakout hits of last season (that would be ABC), and they're not likely to this year,... read more
