Miracles

What a shame that ABC is so clueless and cancelled this great show after just 5 episodes and when things were getting so interesting. I suppose that is the way it goes with all good television; for some reason our society in general is not able to handle an hour of intelligent and insightful programing. Let's hope this somehow finds its way to another network or to DVD. There are 7 episodes that will never see the light of day otherwise.

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.

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 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!
