343.0. "Touched by an Angel" by CSC32::DUBOIS (Trust in God, but tie your camel) Sat Feb 11 1995 06:59

Can someone tell me what is happening with the show "Touched by an Angel"?
This is the one about the lovely angel (Irish actress) who is learning to help
people, assisted by fellow angel Della Reese. 

I haven't seen the show in several weeks, and have been unable to find it
in the TV listings.

    Hi Carol,
    
    I really like that show to, do you remember what station carried it? We
    could try and send them mail and ask.  I know they kept switching
    nights.

It used to be on Wednesday nights, after the Canadian Mountie show.
That's all I know.

    be back on in 2 weeks with an all new show (Channel 7).

    If last week's show is anything like the rest of the series, I don't
    think I could hack watching it!  No one told me I needed tissues. 8)

    just when I think this show can not get any better, it does.  Last
    weeks I had the tissues out once again.  It was so touching.

new one in the next week or two.

We were as disappointed as our viewers with the decision by CBS to choose
Touched by an Angel as the one show of the Saturday night line-up to
pre-empt. But we will be back April 6th. We HAD been told that "In the Name
of God" would be the episode for that date, but as of March 27th here's the
latest from CBS:

April 6th "Reunion" Original Air Date November 4, 1995
Written by Valerie Woods
Directed by Victor Lobl

MEGAN BROOKS (Natalie Cole) arrives home for her mother's funeral. Her
godmother is poet CLARICE MITCHELL (Maya Angelou); Tess is Clarice's muse.
Clarice must come to terms with Megan's disturbing news: she is HIV
positive. SAM (Michael Beach), who's been smitten by Megan since they were
in high school, proposes marriage. Clarice urges Sam not to go through with
the proposal, but Tess reveals herself to the poet and tells her to let go
of her fear; this is Sam and Megan's time to live and love and she must let
them. Clarice comes to a new understanding and composes a poem for the
couple's wedding.

April 13th "Unidentified Female" OAD December 2, 1995
Written by Martha Williamson
Directed by Michael Schultz

JENNIFER (Alison Smith) has a burn on her finger and a hole in her
memory--she's being interrogated by two detectives about a shooting death.
Cutting back and forth between the interrogation and her memories, we see
what happened: Jennifer, who works for the trendy CURB magazine, met
CLAYTON MARTIN (Brian Bloom) in an elevator and he invited her to a party.
At the party, his old friend ALEX (Brandon Douglas), who's been traveling
in search of his real father, arrives. Jennifer happens to be in the room
when Clay shows Alex a gun; it falls, discharges and kills Alex. With the
story put together, Monica helps Jennifer see that God doesn't blame her
for being a witness, and that she has a job to complete: comforting Alex's
mother by bringing the roses that Alex was carrying for her.

April 20th "Operation Smile" OAD November 11, 1995
Written by Martha Williamson, Bob Colleary, and Glen Berenbeim
Directed by Nancy Malone

GINGER (Terumi Matthews) works as an exotic dancer, in which unlikely venue
she meets Monica. Ginger hires Monica to babysit for her little daughter
EMILY, who was born with a disfiguring cleft palate. Ginger fears other
kids in her trailer park will taunt Emily, but Monica invites in JEREMY
(Miles Feulner), who befriends the little girl. When Jeremy learns about
Operation Smile, an organization of doctors who perform pro bono plastic
surgery, he suggests Emily as a candidate. Ginger has taken Emily's
affliction as a punishment from God for past transgressions, and refuses to
accept the charity offer.

    Could someone please put the ending to last night's show.  Because
    it didn't start on time, the VCR shut off at the usual time and I
    missed the ending.  I got to the part where the father was talking to
    Noah's parents. for the first time.  Thanks.

    Ending of Sunday's show
    
    
    
    
    I want to say up front that I can't come close to the dialoge that the
    writers used for the ending of this show, all the words were just
    beautiful, like allways you just about set the words to a song.
    
    Monica was telling the older child that all this is not his fault, and
    no matter what happens Noah will allways be his brother.
    
    Andrew and Tess bring the biological farther to Noahs house. They all
    meet and they parents say they are sorry and that they didn't know. 
    The boys are outside playing ball, and there is tension in the room. 
    Noah's farther calls him inside and he goes to intro him to his real
    farther, but the farther interupts and says "im a new friend".
    
    The mother says "why don't you show your new friend your room" they go
    upstairs and the real dad notices that Noah likes to paint, like his
    mother did and he is touched deeply.
    
    Noah tells him he thinks he's getting a canvas for his Bday, in
    December the Dad says , no tomorrow Noha says...
    
    The Dad goes down strais alone, and the big brother comes up to him and
    says "are you going to take my brother away?"
    
    The Dad goes on to explain that he had every intention on taking his
    son home and to be a family, but after seeing them all together and how
    happy they all are, he can't.  He says he wants to be apart of Noahs
    life and he wants Noah to know the whole truth, but in time, not all
    at once.  The Dad wants to be apart of their family 1st :-)  and they
    all hug and they say you allwasy were.
    
    Noah invites him to his Bday party.... 
    
    the end.
