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.

The night this show premiered, my sister had dibs on the TV, so I grudgingly agree to watch the pilot with her. BOY AM I GLAD I DID. It was like nothing that I had seen on TV in a very long time. Well crafted story lines, brilliant cinematography, very well acted with wonderful musical scores. I felt as though I was watching a one hour theatrical movie. I was hooked. Alas, ABC's incessant preemptions of the show for war time coverage made it difficult for wavering fans of the show to become loyal fans. Thus the show's premature demise. Can't wait for a DVD box set release.

I happened to catch this programme while flicking through endless channels one night. At first I just watched because I recognised one of the main actors in the show (Angus MacFadyen) and thought this might be quite good. I proved myself right and after the first 15 minutes I was hooked. However I began to wonder why I'd never heard of it and why it was shown on Living TV of all channels at some ridiculous time.

I conducted a search on the internet only to find the show had aired briefly in the US and had then been cancelled. I mean why? Don't the American T.V execs appreciate a decent drama above all the disastrously awful "reality TV" which is shoved in our faces day and night?

I felt quite saddened when I tuned in the next week as I knew the programme would eventually stop abruptly and have no real ending. So it ends up like many good shows (e.g The Handler and American Gothic), not really given a chance and then cancelled after a few episodes. It makes you wonder why the writers and actors of these shows even bother when they pretty much know they'll lose out to moronic and simply awful T.V which just happens to grab the ratings.

My only hope is it will be released on DVD or maybe a miracle will happen and it will be resurrected...I can live and hope...
