Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 03/20/2007 Amazon.com: The creators of Touched by an Angel were clearly of the philosophy "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The Third Season following squarely and steadfastly in the footsteps of the second, taking emotionally fraught stories--a dedicated teacher gets kidnapped by a troubled student, a drug addict tries to set her life on the right path, a young couple call off their wedding--and brings them to a happy conclusion through the intervention of the Lord, working His mysterious ways through three angels: Monica (Roma Downey, she of the flowing brunette hair and Irish lilt), Tess (Della Reese, she of the white forelock and the gravely voice), and Andrew, an Angel of Death (John Dye, he of the sweeping Fabio-esque mane and full cheeks). It's never quite clear just how much the angels are allowed to interfere with mortal doings. In one episode, Monica gets sent to God's Country--a sort of metaphysical detention--but it's hard to say that her actions were any more out of bounds than usual. Touched by an Angel is a love-it-or-hate-it show; cynics find it smug and didactic, while fans are drawn to its sincere and caring portrayal of Christian values. As ever, the series pulls in a surprising mix of guest stars, ranging from movie stars on the rise (Kirsten Dunst, Bring It On, Spider-Man) and on the wane (Sally Kellerman, the big-screen version of M*A*S*H), TV stars (John Ritter, Three's Company; Delta Burke, Designing Women; Ja'net Dubois, Good Times; Ben Vereen, Roots), and sturdy character actors (Olympia Dukakis, Moonstruck; Harold Gould and Carol Lawrence, guest stars on just about every show imaginable in the 1970s and '80s). The Third Season, Vol. 1 includes the first 16 episodes from the 1996-1997 season, including the episode that launched the spin-off show, Promised Land, with Gerald McRaney and Ossie Davis. There are no extras on the dvds. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Touched by an Angel - The Third Season, Vol. 1I have always been 'Touched by an Angel' when at the time the show was on the air, and now that I am in the process of purchasing all of the shows so I can once again watch them over and over, this is what television represents to me. A show where heaven and the inspirational messages each show brings. Rating:  - Least favorite of this series so far. The story lines just aren't as deep as could be. Personal views keep me from agreeing with the shows attitude so I couldn't like it these dvds. Touched by an Angel was one of the best shows out there even if it was a bit cheesy sometimes. Rating:  - Great Series, poor realeasing methodLove the series. Outstanding TV for the whole family. The problem is the way it is released. I like to buy a whole series, at once in one collection. The split series means more postage and other costs unless you wait long enough to get it at one time. That is a big disappointment. Rating: - 3rd SeasonI enjoy the films. This season is before the last angel joined the team. Rating: - 2 and a half seasons, more to come.Few shows stay in our minds so may years after they have been gone. For me Touched by an Angel was one of the best shows to express warmth to its viewers. Every episode has an uplifting message, and the series is so full and rich I can't wait till the rest of the seasons are released. This third season is quite long indeed, and it introduces to the spin off of The Promised Land. Personally, I could never get really attracted to this other series. Nonetheless all the episodes have the quality the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
