1. She's very pretty
The show isn't really that bad either. I was expecting more like Touched By An Angel.

2. Oh, no, it's MUCH better
than Touched by an Angel, it's so refreshing to have a "religious" show that isn't maudlin and treacly with perfect, happy endings complete with singing choirs of angels wreathed in light. I

t really wrestles with some thorny religious, moral, and philosophical questions and dilemmas in a fairly realistic way, and things aren't always neatly resolved at the end of the hour.

3. You got that right, LH
It's nice that you get a hint that maybe it's not so great being The Almighty all the time either. ;-)

TBAA was way too sweet and sacharrine for me. :P But Joan of Arcadia is very well done.

4. Yup...
they do a great job for a network TV series. Very understated, and whoever's behind it knows that faith without doubt is pointless.

6. I agree with what all have said
And I just remember I saw Amber Tamblyn on Kilborne or some show, and she seemed very anti-Bush, but I can't remember specifically what she said.

5. She's a doll, and I love her show!
I love how it shows that things we do, which we may never realize affected people, DO affect them. That we all have purpose, even if we don't understand it.
