Touched By An Angel Goes to TV Heaven


© F. Colin Kingston

The first-run television season is winding down. Some first year shows will disappear all together. Some once former favorites will disappear as well. Time, and ratings, will determines what shows get brought back for another year.

One of the shows ending it's run is the CBS drama "Touched by Angel." This month marks the end of this remarkable series with the airing of their 206th and 207th episode. This is a remarkable feat in television today by any standards, but even more so when you consider that this series talks openly and often about God.

Here is a rundown on the plot of "Touched By An Angel," as well as some other series that are ending their season run this week. At press time, the networks were undecided as to whether or not these other shows will return next season.

Depending on viewer demand, there is a slight chance that "Touched By An Angel" will return in periodic made-for-television movies. Chances are slim, but a show about angels is certainly used to miracles.
