Trivia:

John Masius's original pilot script was much darker than that which was eventually shown on TV (In the original pilot, Tess was a chain-smoking angel who was frequently at Monica's throat.)

Quotes:

Tess:What if you ran away from home, and nobody noticed?
Monica:What if you gave away your heart, and nobody cared?

Movie Connections:

Referenced in "Supernatural: Houses of the Holy (#2.13)" (2007)

What a great show!

Touched by an Angel still ranks as one of my very favorite shows. Sure, it was a little cheesy and syrupy at times, but you knew that going in, and you watched it for the message it delivered.

But I can sum up the impact it had on me, and could have on you, in one sentence:

"It's the only TV show that regularly made me cry."

It was so good, it spawned another superb show called "Promised Land."

If you've not seen it before, then make a point to catch it re-runs. You won't regret it.
