Plot edit

The episodes of the series generally revolved around the "cases" of Monica (played by Roma Downey), an angel recently promoted from the "search and rescue" division, who works under the guidance of Tess (played by Della Reese), a sarcastic boss who is sometimes hard on her teen colleague, but is more of a surrogate mother than a mentor.

Monica in one episode outlines that she started in the choir, then annunciations, followed by search and rescue and then case work. Most cases involve a single person or a group of people who are at a crossroads in their lives and facing a large problem or tough decision. Monica and Tess bring them messages of hope from God and give them guidance to help make decisions. During their first episode, the pair receive a red 1972 Cadillac Eldorado convertible as a gift; they use it for transportation throughout the rest of the series while in the human world, with Tess doing the driving. As the series progresses, Monica continues gaining experience as a case worker and, during some cases must learn lessons of her own.

During the series pilot, an angel of death named Adam is introduced. In the season two premiere, "Interview with an Angel", a new Angel of Death named Henry is introduced. Then in the season two episode entitled "The One That Got Away", Andrew (played by John Dye) is introduced as the Angel of Death. Initially a recurring character, he becomes a main character in season three, making him the permanent Angel of Death for the remainder of the series. The original angel of death, Adam, continued to appear in guest appearances over the next few seasons.

In Season 4, a new angel is introduced named Rafael (Alexis Cruz), who appears throughout the series on a recurring basis, often assisting the main trio (Monica, Tess, and Andrew) in their cases. Rafael is a younger looking angel than the others and thus is occasionally involved in situations involving teenagers and young adults so they can relate to each other. Towards the end of the seventh season, a new angel, Gloria (Valerie Bertinelli), is created by God during one of Monica's assignments, designed to adapt to life on Earth in the 21st century. She becomes a regular character for seasons eight and nine, as a trainee under Monica and Tess's guidance.

In the series finale, Monica is up for promotion to supervisor, pending the outcome of a difficult case in which she must defend Zach (Scott Bairstow), an innocent drifter accused of causing a boiler explosion at a school two years ago in the small town of Ascension, Colorado. The explosion killed most of the children, leaving the citizens devastated. During the case, Monica sees many familiar faces, including Joey Machulis (Paul Wittenburg), one of Monica's previous assignments who is a witness to the events, his brother Wayne (Randy Travis), who is now sheriff, Sophie (Marion Ross), a formerly homeless acquaintance, and Mike (Patrick Duffy), a lawyer Monica saved during her search and rescue days who is now the Mayor. An out of town developer claims Zach is the perpetrator and despite the lack of evidence, Zach is put on trial. Monica does all she can to help him, including asking Mike to represent him, but the prosecutor in the case, Jones, is really Satan in disguise, and Zach is eventually convicted.

After the trial, Monica is able to help the citizens realize their mistake and to see that Zach's return to the town had helped them finally start living again. They begin going back to church, welcomed by the pastor they had once abandoned. Their change of heart, however, cannot free Zach, so Monica visits him in jail and reveals that she is an angel. She then promises him that she will become his guardian angel, forgoing all future assignments and the coveted promotion, to protect him from harm in prison. When she returns in the morning, however, the cell is empty. The citizens decide not to search for him, and it is revealed that Joey inadvertently caused the explosion after the devil tricked him into turning the boiler too high to warm some kittens he'd found.

The perplexed Monica returns to the desert to find Tess and Zach. There, she learns that Zach was actually Jesus,[2] and that her defending him was a test, which she passed by being willing to sacrifice herself for him. Monica is promoted to supervisor. As she leaves, she says her goodbyes to Gloria, and to Andrew, who gives her a pocket watch to remember their friendship by. Before parting, Tess gives Monica the keys to the Cadillac, as she is leaving her job to sit at God's feet. Monica is last shown driving away as the camera pans out over the desert.[3]

Cast and characters edit

Main edit

  • Roma Downey as Monica, a kind-hearted Irish angel prone to getting in trouble, who is sent town-to-town to encourage people. Sometimes shown in her bare feet, she is the show's main protagonist. She appears in all but two episodes.
  • Della Reese as Tess, a tough and sarcastic, but loving supervisor who plays a key role in every one of Monica's cases. She acts like Monica's mother and is also the show's main protagonist. She appears in all but three episodes.
  • John Dye as Andrew (main, seasons 3–9; recurring, season 2), known as "the Angel of Death".
  • Valerie Bertinelli as Gloria (main, seasons 8–9; guest, season 7), an accident prone intelligent Italian American angel made to understand the way of life in the early 21st century. She acts like Monica's older stepsister, but having little to no understanding of the human condition making her seem childlike in her innocence.

Recurring edit

Notable guest stars edit

The show also featured early appearances by Jack Black, James Marsden, Shia LaBeouf, Brie Larson, Kirsten Dunst, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Bryan Cranston.[11]

Production edit

Touched by an Angel was produced by CBS and Moon Water Productions.[12] The network had wanted to do a series about angels after reading a story in Newsweek about how belief in angels was becoming popular.[13] Critic Harold Bloom, among others, noted a cultural awareness of angels around those years that began in 1990 with Sophy Burnham's international bestseller A Book of Angels, and continued with Tony Kushner's 1993 play Angels in America, among many other cultural touchstones.[14]

Most episodes of the series were produced in Salt Lake City, Utah. According to New York Times reviewer Caryn James, John Masius created the first pilot episode for the series, but it was a darker, less hopeful story than the producers wanted.[15][16] It cost the studio $2 million to produce the episode.[13] Masius wrote the show as a reflection of his spiritual anger at the time due to his two children being born disabled.[17] Martha Williamson was approached to be the series executive producer in early 1994. She described the pilot she received as "upsetting" as it "portrayed angels as recycled dead people with power over life and death."[13] She initially declined the position, but during a lunch with Andy Hill, then President of CBS, she mentioned the show and suggested he find a producer who would create a show with "loving, joyful" angels that the audience would have to believe in.[18]

Williamson stated that she could not stop thinking about the show after that meeting, and eventually called to ask if the position was still open. Though getting the position was no longer a sure thing, she passed up a more lucrative position directing a court drama and went in for an interview with CBS in June 1994. During her interview, she states she emphasized that she was a Christian and could only do a show that depicted angels in a way she felt was true to her view of angels and that was respectful towards God.[13] She also indicated that the pilot should be redone from the beginning, keeping only the characters Monica and Tess, reworked. The studio agreed with her remarks and hired her.[18] Williamson herself wrote a new script for the pilot episode, while also working on hiring the remaining staff for the series, which was due to premiere in September. The pilot was filmed in Salt Lake City and the show was ready on schedule. The first episode aired on September 14, 1994.[18]

Theme song edit

The lyrics to the show's theme song, "Walk with You", are sung at the beginning of each episode by Della Reese.

Spin-off edit

In 1996, Promised Land was launched as a spin-off series, following the Greene family whom Monica had met during one of her cases, as they travel the United States helping those in need.[13] Four crossover episodes aired during Promised Land's three-season run.

Broadcast and syndication edit

The series went into syndication in 1998, and has aired on PAX-TV, Hallmark Channel, CBS Drama, Up, MeTV and Start TV.[19] It has also aired on Hallmark Drama.[20]

Reception edit

Critical edit

Touched by an Angel received negative reviews from critics throughout its run, who derided its use of treacly melodrama. Tom Shales of The Washington Post said, "viewers with low tolerance for precious whimsy will probably find they have overdosed on pixie dust within the first 10 minutes."[25] Michael Blowen of The Boston Globe wrote, "If you loved Michael Landon's 'Highway to Heaven', a show pooh-poohed by the critics that became a huge hit, you'll probably go for this sugary, maudlin, sentimental myth-making."[26] David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun opined it was "the worst new series of the TV season [...] there's absolutely nothing divine about it." Commenting on frequent shots of Monica's bare feet in the first episode, Zurawik wrote, "I'm not sure what that's all about unless CBS has research showing a large audience of foot fetishists waiting for a reason not to watch ABC's Roseanne."[27]

In a retrospective piece titled "Mauled by an Angel" for his column Religion Dispatches, W. Scott Poole stated that Downey and Reese "served up a syrupy but powerful advertisement for a greeting-card brand of religious faith with little theological definition, but a healthy serving of 'chicken soup for the soul' (a franchise that itself became popular in the same era)."[28] He added the show "seemed to suggest that God was deeply concerned but mostly unable or unwilling to get directly involved, sending along his messengers to patch things up for humanity (or select portions of it) now and again."[28] Writing of the first season, Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly, gave the show a “C” grade, and said the show "succeeds in being so unpretentiously, innocently pure-minded—this is the Forrest Gump of fall ’94—that it’s possible to feel sympathy for its ratings plight."[29] Common Sense Media reviewer Emily Ashby gave the series 3 out of 5 stars, and said that "this uplifting, inspirational show is steeped in strong moral messages, life lessons, and Christian overtones that include multiple references to 'God,' 'Lord,' and the 'Father.'"[30]

Ratings edit

Touched by an Angel became one of CBS's highest-rated series during season three and continued through season six, when it was the ninth most watched network series, with 17,190,000 viewers that amounted to a 15% share of the market as determined by Nielsen Media Research.[13][31][32] In season eight, after the series moved from its Sunday time slot to a Saturday one, it dropped to 79th place, with 8.3 million viewers.[33]

Awards edit

The series was nominated for eleven Primetime Emmy Awards between 1997 and 2000, including two nominations each for Downey and Reese in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series categories, respectively.[40][41] It was also nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, two in 1998 and 1999 for Downey for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV-Series - Drama, and one in 1998 for Reese for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series[42][43] even though the series was never able to secure either award. Marc Lichtman was awarded five BMI Film and Television Awards for "Television Music" in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 for his work as the series composer.[44][45][46][47][48]

Email controversy edit

In 1999, a chain email emerged which falsely claimed that atheism activist Madalyn Murray O'Hair (who died in 1995) was circulating a petition for the Federal Communications Commission to ban all religiously-themed radio and television shows, including Touched by an Angel. The email claims the petition has the ID number 2493, and calls on readers to write to the FCC to express their objections to it. The hoax was modeled on a chain email from 1996,[49] and variations persisted into the 2000s, with different programs mentioned and different individuals supposedly leading the effort. In reality, the referenced petition (RM 2493) sought to prevent religious organizations from receiving licenses to broadcast on educational channels, it did not demand a ban on all religious programming, O'Hair was not affiliated with it, and it was rejected by the FCC in 1975.[49]

In popular culture edit

Maria Bamford imitated Monica on the track "Touched by an Angel" on her Burning Tours album.[50][51]

It was also spoofed on MadTV as "Touched by an Atheist" on an episode guest starring comedian George Carlin.[52]

It was also spoofed on the Family Guy episode "Ready, Willing and Disabled".[53]

Weird Al Yankovic's take of Eminem's "Lose Yourself" called "Couch Potato" changed the title to Touched by an Uncle.[54]

It was parodied in the Birdgirl episode "Thirdgirl".[55]

In other media edit

A book on the series, Touched by an Angel, was published by Zondervan in November 1997. Written by Williams and Robin Sheets, it contains background information on some of the stories featured, series production information, basic details on the first fifty episodes and profiles of Downey, Reese and Dye. It also has short story versions of four episodes: "Interview with an Angel", "There, but for the Grace of God", "An Unexpected Snow" and "Jacob's Ladder".[56] A second book, In the Words of Angels: Twenty Inspiring Stories from Touched by an Angel, was published by Fireside Books on August 28, 2001. Also written by Williams, it collects twenty short stories based on episodes from the series.[57]

An audio soundtrack, Touched by an Angel: The Album, was released on November 3, 1998. The 15-track CD includes a full-length version of the series theme song, "Walk with You", performed by Della Reese and songs by Céline Dion, Shawn Colvin, Bob Dylan, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Amy Grant, Jaci Velasquez, The Kinleys, Wynonna and Amanda Marshall.[58] The soundtrack went platinum.[59] A second album, Touched by an Angel: Christmas Album, was released on November 9, 1999, with 13 tracks of Christmas music. In addition to having tracks performed by Reese and Downey, it features songs from Randy Travis, Keb' Mo', Charlotte Church, Kirk Franklin, Collin Raye, Amy Grant and Donna Summer.[60] Both albums were released by Sony Music Entertainment, the successor to the former record division of CBS.

revolved around the cases of Monica played by Roma Downey an angel recently promoted from the search and rescue division who works under the guidance of Tess played by Della Reese a sarcastic boss who is sometimes hard on her teen colleague but is more of a surrogate mother than a mentor Monica in one episode outlines that she started in the choir then annunciations followed by search and rescue and then case work Most cases involve a single person or a group of people who are at a crossroads in their lives and facing a large problem or tough decision Monica and Tess bring them messages of hope from God and give them guidance to help make decisions During their first episode the pair receive a red 1972 Cadillac Eldorado convertible as a gift they use it for transportation throughout the rest of the series while in the human world with Tess doing the driving As the series progresses Monica continues gaining experience as a case worker and during some cases must learn lessons of her own During the series pilot an angel of death named Adam is introduced In the season two premiere Interview with an Angel a new Angel of Death named Henry is introduced Then in the season two episode entitled The One That Got Away Andrew played by John Dye is introduced as the Angel of Death Initially a recurring character he becomes a main character in season three making him the permanent Angel of Death for the remainder of the series The original angel of death Adam continued to appear in guest appearances over the next few seasons In Season 4 a new angel is introduced named Rafael Alexis Cruz who appears throughout the series on a recurring basis often assisting the main trio Monica Tess and Andrew in their cases Rafael is a younger looking angel than the others and thus is occasionally involved in situations involving teenagers and young adults so they can relate to each other Towards the end of the seventh season a new angel Gloria Valerie Bertinelli is created by God during one of Monica s assignments designed to adapt to life on Earth in the 21st century She becomes a regular character for seasons eight and nine as a trainee under Monica and Tess s guidance In the series finale Monica is up for promotion to supervisor pending the outcome of a difficult case in which she must defend Zach Scott Bairstow an innocent drifter accused of causing a boiler explosion at a school two years ago in the small town of Ascension Colorado The explosion killed most of the children leaving the citizens devastated During the case Monica sees many familiar faces including Joey Machulis Paul Wittenburg one of Monica s previous assignments who is a witness to the events his brother Wayne Randy Travis who is now sheriff Sophie Marion Ross a formerly homeless acquaintance and Mike Patrick Duffy a lawyer Monica saved during her search and rescue days who is now the Mayor An out of town developer claims Zach is the perpetrator and despite the lack of evidence Zach is put on trial Monica does all she can to help him including asking Mike to represent him but the prosecutor in the case Jones is really Satan in disguise and Zach is eventually convicted After the trial Monica is able to help the citizens realize their mistake and to see that Zach s return to the town had helped them finally start living again They begin going back to church welcomed by the pastor they had once abandoned Their change of heart however cannot free Zach so Monica visits him in jail and reveals that she is an angel She then promises him that she will become

search for him and it is revealed that Joey inadvertently caused the explosion after the devil tricked him into turning the boiler too high to warm some kittens he d found The perplexed Monica returns to the desert to find Tess and Zach There she learns that Zach was actually Jesus 2 and that her defending him was a test which she passed by being willing to sacrifice herself for him Monica is promoted to supervisor As she leaves she says her goodbyes to Gloria and to Andrew who gives her a pocket watch to remember their friendship by Before parting Tess gives Monica the keys to the Cadillac as she is leaving her job to sit at God s feet Monica is last shown driving away as the camera pans out over the desert 3 Episodes editMain article List of Touched by an Angel episodes

Bryan Cranston 11 Production editTouched by an Angel was produced by CBS and Moon Water Productions 12 The network had wanted to do a series about angels after reading a story in Newsweek about how belief in angels was becoming popular 13 Critic Harold Bloom among others noted a cultural awareness of angels around those years that began in 1990 with Sophy Burnham s international bestseller A Book of Angels and continued with Tony Kushner s 1993 play Angels in America among many other cultural touchstones 14 Most episodes of the series were produced in Salt Lake City Utah According to New York Times reviewer Caryn James John Masius created the first pilot episode for the series but it was a darker less hopeful story than the producers wanted 15 16 It cost the studio 2 million to produce the episode 13 Masius wrote the show as a reflection of his spiritual anger at the time due to his two children being born disabled 17 Martha Williamson was approached to be the series executive producer in early 1994 She described the pilot she received as upsetting as it portrayed angels as recycled dead people with power over life and death 13 She initially declined the position but during a lunch with Andy Hill then President of CBS she mentioned the show and suggested he find a producer who would create a show with loving joyful angels that the audience would have to believe in 18 Williamson stated that she could not stop thinking about the show after that meeting and eventually called to ask if the position was still open Though getting the position was no longer a sure thing she passed up a more lucrative position directing a court drama and went in for an interview with CBS in June 1994 During her interview she states she emphasized that she was a Christian and could only do a show that depicted angels in a way she felt was true to her view of angels and that was respectful towards God 13 She also indicated that the pilot should be redone from the beginning keeping only the characters Monica and Tess reworked The studio agreed with her remarks and hired her 18 Williamson herself wrote a new script for the pilot episode while also working on hiring the remaining staff for the series which was due to premiere in September The pilot was filmed in Salt Lake City and the show was ready on schedule The first episode aired on September 14 1994 18 Theme song edit The lyrics to the show s theme song Walk with You are sung at the beginning of each episode by Della Reese Spin off edit In 1996 Promised Land was launched as a spin off series following the Greene family whom Monica had met during one of her cases as they travel the United States helping those in need 13 Four crossover episodes aired during Promised Land s three season run

Touched by an Angel received negative reviews from critics throughout its run who derided its use of treacly melodrama Tom Shales of The Washington Post said viewers with low tolerance for precious whimsy will probably find they have overdosed on pixie dust within the first 10 minutes 25 Michael Blowen of The Boston Globe wrote If you loved Michael Landon s Highway to Heaven a show pooh poohed by the critics that became a huge hit you ll probably go for this sugary maudlin sentimental myth making 26 David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun opined it was the worst new series of the TV season there s absolutely nothing divine about it Commenting on frequent shots of Monica s bare feet in the first episode Zurawik wrote I m not sure what that s all about unless CBS has research showing a large audience of foot fetishists waiting for a reason not to watch ABC s Roseanne 27 In a retrospective piece titled Mauled by an Angel for his column Religion Dispatches W Scott Poole stated that Downey and Reese served up a syrupy but powerful advertisement for a greeting card brand of religious faith with little theological definition but a healthy serving of chicken soup for the soul a franchise that itself became popular in the same era 28 He added the show seemed to suggest that God was deeply concerned but mostly unable or unwilling to get directly involved sending along his messengers to patch things up for humanity or select portions of it now and again 28 Writing of the first season Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the show a C grade and said the show succeeds in being so unpretentiously innocently pure minded this is the Forrest Gump of fall 94 that it s possible to feel sympathy for its ratings plight 29 Common Sense Media reviewer Emily Ashby gave the series 3 out of 5 stars and said that this uplifting inspirational show is steeped in strong moral messages life lessons and Christian overtones that include multiple references to God Lord and the Father 30 Ratings edit Touched by an Angel became one of CBS s highest rated series during season three and continued through season six when it was the ninth most watched network series with 17 190 000 viewers that amounted to a 15 share of the market as determined by Nielsen Media Research 13 31 32 In season eight after the series moved from its Sunday time slot to a Saturday one it dropped to 79th place

that atheism activist Madalyn Murray O Hair who died in 1995 was circulating a petition for the Federal Communications Commission to ban all religiously themed radio and television shows including Touched by an Angel The email claims the petition has the ID number 2493 and calls on readers to write to the FCC to express their objections to it The hoax was modeled on a chain email from 1996 49 and variations persisted into the 2000s with different programs mentioned and different individuals supposedly leading the effort In reality the referenced petition RM 2493 sought to prevent religious organizations from receiving licenses to broadcast on educational channels it did not demand a ban on all religious programming O Hair was not affiliated with it and it was rejected by the FCC in 1975
