In a Heartbeat

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.

This is a great Disney show. Most of Disney's shows are pretty corny, but this one is an overall winner. The show is about a teenage EMT (not really, all of the "teenage" EMT members are over 18 in real life) who go around and save people. there is also some comic relief in this show, even though it is mostly a drama. Kids and adults might not like this show, but teenagers will. it is a very informative show about the teenage EMT program. I give it a 8/10 - a little un-realistic (the teenage EMT in the shoe does some things that REAL teenage EMT's are not allowed to do, like administer medications), but the show itself has great actors and entertaining stories.

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.

This show has it all! There are some great actors in it as well. This is probably one of my fav. TV shows because its very life like, unlike Disneys Lizzie Mcguire which I rate that show a 3 out of ten stars because the comedy in that is quite corny. Anyway back to In a Heartbeat has everything every tv show has and more. Fast pacing action, some thrills, tells life of a teanager and has some comic realief in it. It is a shame Disney canceled this show though, because this show is the best show ever made by Disney and the stupid other 'kid' shows don't come close to this masterpiece.

So you have The Disney Channel with a lot of their shows that lack something. Well In a Heartbeat is not that way it has a charm to it. This is a show about substance and quality. This is a show that could wind up on the WB Network it is that good. Now Shawn Ashmore spent time on the Nickelodeon show Animorphs which was a good offering that didn't last at Nick. All I can say is give In a heartbeat a chance with the sugar speckled theme song to the way it travels with the characters you'll see why this show is worth your time and mine.
