In a Heartbeat

This show has a good story line, but is a bit realistic in some aspects. For example, technically, an EMT-B, which Disney characterized these characters as being, cannot administer medication, defibrillation (clear...shocking!), or other items that they do on the show. Despite that, which really isn't important, this show is entertaining, funny, and even in its own way, informative. In my opinion, the general age group that will enjoy the program at its best is 12 to 17, but don't go by me, check it out for yourself anyway! Its a good show, with a good "helping people and promoting international goodwill" story line.

I was trying to figure out why Disney cancelled this show. At first I thought maybe they didn't want anymore Canadian produced shows.(No offense Canada. I love Montreal.) But that didn't make sense. Ratings? Yeah like that's a factor. If Disney cancelled shows based on ratings Dave the Barbarian would be gone by now along with Lizzie McGuire. So I thought and thought. Then it hit me. This show is a drama. All the shows they have now are comedies. So maybe they didn't want to loose there target audience with Dawson's Creek type stuff(I know there are better dramas than DC but I'm just trying to make a point). Let's face it. Disney's programming has gone down hill. After Jett Jackson and So Weird left, that was it. All the shows are crappy. Even the Proud Family is loosing luster. Disney made a BIG mistake in cancelling this show. At least this one had realism. They need better programming.

In A Heartbeat is a wonderful show. It is basically the only one I watch besides Gilmore Girls and 7th Heaven. In my oppinion, I think it is sad that The Disney Channel may be cancelling the only educational show they have on their station. In my oppinion it is very life like, and you can relate to their problems, well not of the EMT thing, but of their relationship problems, and most teens go through that. SO i hope that the Disney Channel has enough sense not to cancel this show! luv to all! Em

This, in my opinion, is thebest show on Disney! It has an interesting setting and characters who's lives you can get interested in. All of the actors do a good job. Even though it is mostly a drama, it also has some comic relief. I don't think this show would interest adults or kids, mainly only teenagers will like it. If you want to see a show with interesting plots and some good looking people, this is a good one to pick.

How often do you come across a show aimed at teenagers that does not portray dumb kids doing stupid things in unrealistic situations?

What happened to shows that were "real", that people could actually relate to, that didn't have to be completely mindless to be successful?

"In a Heartbeat" was exactly what TV viewers needed. A very intelligent show, it followed the lives of EMT teenagers dealing with their daily lives in school, at home and at work. The characters easily hooked you on, and their adventures were interesting to watch. It was neither overly dramatic nor sugarcoated, and yet was still very enjoyable to watch. The acting was terrific and the storyline was simply remarkable. Most everyone who watched the show fell in love with it.

I have no idea what reason Disney could give on why they cancelled the show, and I'd love to see it start up again, but I know that it most likely won't happen. Instead, Disney should consider releasing the lone season of "In a Heartbeat" on VHS/DVD to make up for their big mistake.

A definite 10/10 stars show. Catch the reruns if you can.
