    Our family are enjoying the series again on Sky Angel. When out 2 children were younger we watched the show as a family. We are watching again togeather when our children are home visiting. The values are positive, the experiences real and the results were HOPE. Is it so wrong to have shows on television that encourages people to do the right thing, to help others? If you can and have the opportunity, watch the series and if I am wrong about what I wrote.....tell me. Also I wander if we had the values on televison today and families watched them, would not our younger generations possibly have more positive HOPE.moreless

    Please bring this show back!! It is so awesome! Good shows are hard to come by! I am an avid fan! Good wholesome TV viewing, with great acting and great story line. I also wish that it would be available in DVD's. Seems like every show has had reruns, except for this one. How is Gerald Rainey doing now? I think also, with these tough economic times. The show gives great suggestions and support for families in the same predicament. I found it a great escape. Join this petition to get this show going again! Thanks for TV!! Louisiana Mom!moreless

  • Maybe it's my fault but I can't see the link between Promised Land and Touched by an Angel. Promised Land was better...

    So I said I couldn't see the link between Promised Land & Touched by an Angel. I rather see a link between Promised Land and 7th Heaven. Both shows are about a family which is filled with love and always ready to help every other family they meet. The only thing which makes me prefer Promides Land to 7th heaven it that Promised Land had never became boring. So I really don't understand what made the CBS to cancel it...moreless

  • Another superb Gerald McRaney series. Great message stories without being preachy. Good wholesome program for the entire family....something very much lacking today.

    This series was highly underrated as far as I'm concerned. The acting was wonderful, the stories well-written, and it was a show that you could sit down with your entire family to watch.
    One of my favorite cast members was Ossie Davis, God rest his soul. I am so glad I got to "know" him for a little while. Oh and what a hoot Cloris Leachman was!
    I remember crying through several scenes....something that Gerald McRaney gets me to do more than any other actor. One scene was when Claire went outside and rang the bell after Grace died. The other was when Russell went outside and broke down over the loss of their infant.
    Just didn't care for the episodes when they settled down in Denver. The whole feel of the show left then and I remember being very upset with Ms. Williamson, the creator of the show.moreless
