User Reviews

Great, great show!

A large majority of people hear the words, Disney Channel, and immediately tune out to whatever show you're talking about. It's quite shallow and ignorant, and I speak from experience, having encountered many of these people ever since I found out about the TV show, In A Heartbeat. I saw one episode of this show, early this year, and I somewhat became obsessed with it. I do not even have access to the channel in my own home and yet, I somehow still managed to stay a fan. The concept of the show is good and original, and I fail to understand why they cancelled this series. Good acting + good story = Very good show! There are a whole heap of fans who were just as disappointed that the show did not continue, and their are petitions and such to resurrect the show, but according to the production company, the ratings were not good enough. Disney has made a mistake in letting In A Heartbeat go. There are an abundance of other shows that do not get as many viewers, yet stay put in their places. Luckily, IaHB still gets the occasional rerun, so if you ever catch it, give it a chance and watch this great show that deserves way more than it got. Long live In A Heartbeat (reruns!)
