Description: TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL - THE SECOND SEASON delivers inspiration in the form of Monica (Downey), Tess (Reese) and Andrew (Dye), three angels dispatched from heaven to inspire people who are at a crossroads in their lives. Features notable guest appearances by Randy Travis, Phylicia Rashad and Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
Amazon.com: Touched by an Angel swiftly amassed a devout following, drawn to the TV series' clear Christian values and the warm performances of Roma Downey (she of the creamy complexion and lush pre-Raphaelite hair) and Della Reese as Monica and Tess, two angels sent to help troubled human beings. The first season had the additional virtue of exploring the ordinary yet complex emotional problems of troubled marriages, rebellious teens, and coping with the death of a loved one, in stories that were (with a few exceptions) cleanly written and down-to-earth--though, of course, everything was resolved by divine intervention. The second season, regrettably, dives into melodrama: A pregnant woman is trapped in a bank vault after her husband tries to rob the bank; a lawyer meets up with an old girlfriend, not knowing that her wicked ambitions caused his best friend to commit suicide; a postal worker sends atheistic replies to children's letters to God--and it turns out that he's an Auschwitz survivor. Even episodes grappling with what could be compelling material, like a stripper who feels responsible for her daughter's birth defect, get pushed over the top when Tess saves the day by creating a hot air balloon out of thin air. Certainly, God can accomplish miracles, but the second season of Touched by an Angel loses sight of his subtlety and mysterious ways. Nonetheless, fans will continue to take comfort in the show's message about divine love.
Episodes feature a wide range of guest stars: Movie actors like Elliott Gould (M*A*S*H) and Stacy Keach (Fat City); old television hands like Hal Linden (Barney Miller) and Cindy Williams (Laverne & Shirley); non-actors like poet Maya Angelou and singer Natalie Cole; and such, well, lesser celebrities as Kathie Lee Gifford (Live with Regis and Kathie Lee.) John Dye joins the series in this season as Andrew, a handsome angel of death. --Bret Fetzer

What a show! Classic, timeless and wholesome family television. Hokie for sure, but in the best sense of the word.
Touch by an Angel Touched by an Angel - The Complete First Season Have also bought the second edition and have watch them several times. These type of movies are hard to stop watching.
Touched by an Angel This is a good DVD and the show was good. I would buy from this vendor again.
Complete Season? These shows are fantastic, heartwarming, and perhaps a great teaching tool about the love, mercy, and grace that God has promised His children. (as are all of the Touched By An Angel Productions) This set of discs, however, do not represent the entire season as stated. There may been others omitted as well, but it's a sure thing that the episode titled 'The feather', with Randy Travis as the older brother of younger, disabled Joey, is half of a two part show. They even begin the show with, "In the previous episode---------" Now, just how stupid do the producers of these DVD's think we are? Sure, they can get by with leaving out a few episodes and calling it a complete season (after all, it's been a long time since we originally saw them in order), but when they go so far as to say an episode is the continuation of a former one (which wasn't there) I feel that my intelligence is being blatantly tested in a way I do not appreciate...perhaps to see how many episodes they can get by with leaving out next time? I don't know. But I do know it's not the first time episodes have been omitted from supposed 'complete seasons' of past T.V. shows (Not necessarily Touched By An Angel). Please let this fact in no reflect on the goodnes of this particular program, nor any of it's participants. The sole blame for these omissions lies in the hands of those re-producing these shows on DVD.
