Touched by an Angel: The Complete Series

Hope and Inspiration
"Touched by an Angel" is perhaps my all-time favorite television series, and I'm grateful to own this entire collection of episodes.The scenery in each episode is stunning and beautiful. I've always appreciated how the beauty of nature is highlighted at the beginning and ending of each episode. (I believe that many of the episodes were filmed in Utah, which inspires me to want to travel there someday).The characters are both likeable and believable. As each of us may struggle to become a better person, there are also episodes (such as "Until Death Do Us Part" in Season 6), where we find the angels likewise struggling to be better, more holy, beings. The late John Dye was such a great actor in this series, and his role in that episode was especially good.Most importantly, the message of each episode is always inspiring and uplifting! Jesus Christ provided us with such commandments as "Love your neighbor as yourself", and this series provides 211 episodes where that happens. Hope is a wonderful gift from God and, with over 200 episodes, hope is something that each of us can enjoy and appreciate over and over again.In my opinion, this series deserves 5 stars. No argument at all. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to include a (paper) guide which outlines each of the 211 episodes, with a brief summary of each. I suppose it could be called something like "Your guide to the Angels". :) Regardless, it would be helpful to have a short reference booklet to accompany this incredible series.

excellent series/very Poor audio
I received this said February 9. I've been trying to watch it. I can barely hear the dialogue. I'm going to try to find a sound bar or speaker that will amplify the sound so I can hear it. If that doesn't work, I will return the set. I wish the set had closed captioning. The series by far is excellent, but if I cannot hear it or understand the words that I do here, it's not worth much. I have a substantial DVD library that I can hear well enough to enjoy. Right now, I cannot recommend this set it to anyone. I will give it more stars with the caveat if I can find a device that lets me.Update: I did return this set. However, I bought the series as a packet and the sound quality was better than the box set.Then I bought a Polk sound bar with base that allowed me to increase just the voice volume and I am really enjoying the DVD's now. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed TV without closed captioning. I mention the Polk sound bar because it had 3 volume controls: volume/voice/base. That feature really works. It also lets you select what your watching (movies or music). I highly recommend it for music lovers as well as people with hearing loss.

Great Quality image, Great Content, Great packaging -- all GREAT!
We recently started watching Touched by an Angel and then one day, we had to purchase a streaming service to continue. i was like NOPE! ....I was not prepared to stop watching this series...This show is about 3 angels (one is the Angel of Death) who go on missions as instructed by God to help humans learn how to love unconditionally and to do the right thing. It is Amazing and inspiring. It Speaks to the heart about tough subjects like loss of a loved one, evil in the world, dealing with addiction, learning to forgive yourself because God already has, temptation, self control, chronic illness, drunk driving, capital punishment, HIV, suicide, schizophrenia, and it even had an episode on the challenges of 9/11. They do not shy away from the tough issues. And because it is an older show there are some really top notch actors and singers on here. VERY impressed.Plus we got it not only for home, but when we RV and are remote, (with no reception), we can watch it.WE LOVE IT.Wish we had this when the kids were young. So many valuable lessons. Great for people of all ages (I would say down to even age 6-7.Many episodes there is the reveal (where the angel announces, I am an angel sent from God to help you and guide you), and it makes you ask, well, where is my angel? Well, we just finished one of the shows tonight where they went into the situation hoping they folks would never even know they were there. They just whispered in the person's ear. Just gave a nudge....Our 20 yo son came in the room, said i don't wanna watch that, it's boring... There's no shooting, or good music and then we found we had to stop intermittently to answer his very good questions. He does in fact enjoy it!

Very bad quality DVD'S.
I bought this some time ago but was not able to open and start watching it until today, September 5, 2016. The picture quality is so grainy it is like watching the first television (first in our area) we had in the fifties. I am sure it is too late to return so lesson learned, open check out before you lose the chance to return defective items. I do not recommend this seller.

excellent show great reproduction horrible Packaging
Excellent show, great reproduction, horrible packaging. This is my favorite program going away. The transfers were very well done. The packaging doesn't even deserve one star. The discs are double-stacked and won't stay in place. This causes excessive scratching. it's a program well worth keeping, so you almost have to supply your own Packaging in order to protect the disks.

Ahead of its Time!
I believe that TBA is the most spiritual television series ever created. It covers even the most controversial topics that challenge our faith and shows how God can make good out of even the most hideous of human acts. TBA does not adopt a simplistic view of the world as is portrayed in other series like, "Highway to Heaven." TBA respects the complexity of the world and does not give cookie-cutter answers to difficult questions. In fact, the most difficult questions are often left unanswered. This makes sense, especially if God's main objective is not to answer our questions but to teach us how to love.

Great stories; even better actors/actresses. Wonderfully uplifting.
I didn't like this program much when I first discovered it, but when I started watching it properly (it's currently being shown on Freeview in the UK) and began to understand the relationship between the various Angels, I began to appreciate it and enjoy it. This is a huge collection and will take me months to watch all the episodes, but hey-ho, winter is approaching. Roma Downey is particularly wonderful in her role as the Angel "Monica", but all the main characters play their respective parts well. It's great to be able to watch something with a great message that can lift one's spirits and bring hope in a world full of pain. For Christians, who obviously believe in Angels (whether or not they appear in human form as in this series), it's a great delight to see them acting as messengers between our creator and His created beings. From what I have seen so far, I would definitely recommend this DVD set, with the only caution being that it is Region 1, so you will need a multi-region player for the UK.

Bought as a gift
Cannot say much about these DVDs as its not my type of series.However I needed these to definitely be Region 2 format and other reviews I read made me unsure of ordering.So I took a chance and trusted the description on the product and the set I received was Region 2.And as they were supplied by Amazon I give them 5 stars also.Hope this helps.
