Save Me

First of all, I have to say I've never been a fan of Anne Heche.. but ya know what... I just love her in this. Her comedic timing in this is amazing. Story lines are hilarious, touching and all around good fun. Anne is adorable in this show. The whole concept is as close to 'novel' that Hollywood puts out as one can hope for. It's 'Touched by an Angel', 'Saving Grace' wrapped up in a ticklish taco (I know, really bad metaphor, but I'm kind of hungry right now). Few shows make me laugh out loud, and I love to laugh out loud.

Don't deprive yourself of watching this program, 'swear to God' you won't regret it.

Beth gets a second chance at life, family, and friends after she accidentally chokes on a sandwich. God has intervened and helped this misguided, alcoholic, joke of the neighborhood, become the person she has always wished she was.

As someone who has nothing up with religion, I was skeptical to watch this Series. The mainly reason to watch it, was for Anne Heche. This is however not a pro- or anti-religious show. The show dares to bring God into the storyline, but with a contemporary approach. The moral and ethical messages are funny and light carried out.

Heche shows her outstanding comedic timing and facial mimic in this Show. She makes an unlikely character touchy and believable. The rest of the cast are not in her league, but the acting is more than decent.

Especially the first 3-4 episode are funny and well written from then on the director is rushing through the story and the show gets less enjoyable. The show is fast paced and the format of 20- 25 minutes suits it well. This comedy is different but better than the average sit-com.

Anne Heche gives a very likable and -if you think she's crazy- a very believable performance.

And if you don't think that she's crazy and actually God is talking to her -"What do I call you? Dog. That's God backwards, because that's how you're treating me/behaving"- she's even funnier in her earnestness.

The rest of the cast is also very good, in all of their befuddlement and indecision. Is she crazy? Isn't she? Well, at least she's acting like an adult.

Too bad that the God premise doomed this show from the start, the religious element would not/can not/will not let a show that's slightly irreverent succeed. This show could have been a very good and smartly done one. One without the car chases, the forced drama and the gratuitous sex angles.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised. Nice lighthearted look at a spiritual awakening. Paul was thrown from a horse so this isn't so far fetched. Looking forward to more episodes. In this day and age half hour shows seem like a tease but probably works best for this type of show. Short and sweet message, no need to drag out a plot line. Acting was very good for a spiritual show. Reminds me of the show a few years ago where the lawyer was having visions. Only this one is simpler, so far, to follow. The church music scene was a little over the top but the priest/pastor was played nicely. The music certainly adds to the show just had a problem with her just jumping in and knowing the words when she said she had never been in a church before. Also music didn't fit with the type of church that would have a priest/pastor wearing the normal denominational gown outfit. Writers have to decide on what kind of church this is going to be.

How refreshing to laugh out loud for a whole show and to have humor that doesn't come from putting someone down. Save Me is just a well written, fast paced show. Anne Heche is so engaging and has perfect timing. Her naivety and energy make her a very lovable character The rest of the cast adds to the frivolity of it and will provide lots of material for future episodes The daughter, Madison Davenport, plays the perfect teenager, with sharp one-liners and eye rolls.

As the He/She god gives messages to Beth Harper we are all forced to think about how we would respond and are then surprised by some of the twists the show takes

We've been telling everyone about it because who can't use a good laugh?! Hope you enjoy it, too!
