Touched by an Angel: The Medium and the Message (1999)
Pretty good! Did Irene save "Promise Land" script?
I'm pretty shocked at the low ratings for this episode actually. I've seen some other episodes that are far worse and painful to sit through. Like when Monica became an elderly Angel; it had me shocked it even made air. I enjoyed this episode because it reminds me of myself. When Touched by an Angel was originally on the air, I never watched it because I thought it was boring and I was more in tune with the more trendy shows on air at the time. Now that I am an adult ready to be a grandparent, I can't stop binge watching Touched by an Angel. I'm watching it in order and It's my absolute favorite show now. It saddens me that there can never be an all original cast reunion movie or reboot because the actors that played Tess, Andrew, and Sam has died. Such a wonderful feel good show.
Also, I think the hit script in this episode that Mr McKenna wrote, which Irene saved away for him,
"...about a family, nothing exciting...just good people... trying to live right", I think it was about the Touched by an Angel spin-off that was called "Promised Land" starring Gerald McRaney. That show was in its final episodes unfortunately when this one aired. Monica responds to Mr. McKenna, "God liked your script". It felt like a very touching Easter egg to Promise Land. She helped remind him that all those other trashy shows got canceled and to believe in his wholesome script writing.
