Miracles

Here's another solid concept that fell victim to the whims of the great unwashed of American television audiences. A truly interesting concept, coupled with some solid acting by Ulrich and Macfayden made "Miracles" one of the freshest new shows of the 2002-2003 prime-time television season. Alas, probably because there was no one getting "voted off the Island" on it - it got voted off the Island pretty quickly. I will always rue the fact that the ultimate plot was never allowed to be revealed and the nature of the "God is nowhere" phenomenon was never explained to viewers. Like a succulent hybrid of "X-files" and "Millennium," "Miracles" promised the building intrigue of a huge, unraveled conspiracy theory and the creepy twisted irony of religion gone terribly awry. A real shame it was cancelled, especially while pap like "Big Brother" hangs around longer than the lunch special at Luby's. USA Network was brave enough to pick up "Monk" - I wish they'd have done the same for "Miracles." It'd be awesome for the Sci-Fi Network. Oh well, I expect no less from an obtuse network like ABC - maybe they can flog a couple more cheesy seasons out of that tired old "Practice" - but I doubt it.

I decided that I would watch this show that aired @ten pm on Mondays because I had some free time. After that, I became addicted. I love all of the actors on the show, and I have seen them various other roles (Angus was Robert the Bruce in Braveheart, and the girl in the series (sorry, I don't know her name) was Gia in General Hospital, and Skeet has been in a lot of movies. I never missed an episode, and I hope they continue to air this television show. I believe it had a lot to offer, from acting to plot line. I really want to know what Skeet's character is going to do next or what town he is going to go to. In My opinion, it is one of the best telvision shows out right now (Other than BTVS)

This series has only just begun over here in England and I am hooked already. Each episode asks questions we are all afraid to ask. Are there miracles? Is there a God? a Devil? Is the world as we know it about to be sent into armageddon?

I have read that this series has been abandoned and all I want to know is why? It seems us mortals are addicted to the likes of Pop Idols and soap operas. I personally believe people are afraid of what we all really think. Ok, so maybe there are no such things as werewolves etc but there have been many accounts of miracles through the ages and people seeing and hearing messages.

This programme really made me think. My message to both the maker of 'MIRACLES' and TV CHANNEL which scrapped it is to bring it back. The X Files was great but MIRACLES is more personal. An excellent programme and well done to all concerned.

My husband picked this show on its premier night. I was hooked! I watch very few shows on the ABC network these days, but this one was definitely a "keeper" in my book.

Each episode slowly peeled back another layer of the very mysterious and complex lives of the main characters. A show with some depth, what a novel idea!

This show reminded me a lot of the first couple of seasons of The X-Files. There was a "WOW! That was good!" followed by "Ooh, I wonder what's coming next week?". Anticipating whether the next episode would either address a personal issue of the main characters (that you actually cared about), or throw you right into the middle of them encountering and dealing with someone else's troubles.

The show was constantly being pre-empted by news break-ins of the war in Iraq with fuzzy images of Ted Koppell in green night vision-o-rama. It's a shame that ABC gave "Miracles" the boot because not enough people were watching it when, in reality, they didn't give us the choice on whether to watch or not.

I just finished watching the last, 13th episode. And it's really a shame, and the more I think about it, absolutely incomprehensible that they cancelled this show. I've seen many tvshows, but never such a perfect mix of mystery and heartfelt storylines.

Watch it if it aires, buy the dvd if they make it, or download it from somewhere, it's worth it!
