DVD Touched by an Angel - The Complete Second Season
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
Review(s): DVD Touched by an Angel - The Complete Second Season
Just great!
Although not as brilliant as the first season, this 2nd season is still pretty good. Teaches a lot of issues about life, can't wait for the 3rd season to be release on DVD....
Absolutely the best show
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.
The best show ever!
This show is absolutely the best show ever made! It's uplifting, inspiring television. The actors are great, the stories are touching and it's a very well written show.
I can't wait untill the next 7 seasons will be out on DVD!

Touched by an Angel wasn't the first TV show with a heavenly theme, but it set a new standard for a compassionate portrayal of Christian themes on television. Roma Downey, with flowing brunette locks and a soft Irish lilt, plays Monica, a divine case-worker sent from town to town to lend an angelic hand. Sometimes it's as simple as helping a dying man reach out to those he loves before it's too late; sometimes she has to face the Devil himself--in the closing episode of the first season, Monica is sent to make sure an AIDS hospice opens despite the opposition of white supremacists being led by Satan (played by John Schneider, formerly of The Dukes of Hazzard). Earthy Della Reese plays Tess, Monica's supervisor, who takes an active role in quite a few cases....

The premiere season of Michael Landon's Highway to Heaven is consolidated into this collector’s edition box set of seven discs containing 24 episodes of faith and love. The television series (1984-1989) has a loyal following because of its compelling storylines and uplifting messages characteristic of Landon, an icon of family-friendly entertainment since the early days of Little House on the Prairie and Bonanza. An angel on assignment from God is disguised as "everyman" Jonathan Smith in order to comfort--and sometimes miraculously guide--the lost and suffering through various dilemmas. Smith and his earthly cohort, ex-cop Mark Gordon (Victor French), journey across country to work as horse trainers, bellhops, baby-sitters--whatever the task requires. The...

Thourgly enjoyed season 2, i saw the series on television many years ago so i cant say or remember exactly what's been edited on certain scenes.
All i can say is that Michael Landon and Victor French were very inspirational to us all and unfortunatly since there passing on there hasn't been anyone yet today that can make these quality loving family shows.
Hopefully the final three sasons will be released soon.
Year two of Earl Hamner's The Waltons still finds the original cast complete and the show humming along nicely on nostalgia for an earlier America, specifically the Depression-era 1930s, a time of sacrifice and family unity as The Waltons portrays it. The characters we came to know so well in season one (see The Waltons: The Complete First Season) continue to live in a spirit of cooperation and generosity, and with hope that a younger generation of Waltons will prosper and dream new dreams for everyone.
The 24 episodes included in this box set feature a number of very strong stories, including a handful of classics, all immersed in the series' typically old-Hollywood production values. (Several season two shows were directed by Waltons' star Ralph Waite.)...

I love the LHOTP series, but the DVDs could be so much better. Editing, timing, sound are often way off, but like big corp. has figured out, I'll watch it anyway, because the show is just so wonderful.
