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.

A large majority of people hear the words, Disney Channel, and immediately tune out to whatever show you're talking about. It's quite shallow and ignorant, and I speak from experience, having encountered many of these people ever since I found out about the TV show, In A Heartbeat. I saw one episode of this show, early this year, and I somewhat became obsessed with it. I do not even have access to the channel in my own home and yet, I somehow still managed to stay a fan. The concept of the show is good and original, and I fail to understand why they cancelled this series. Good acting + good story = Very good show! There are a whole heap of fans who were just as disappointed that the show did not continue, and their are petitions and such to resurrect the show, but according to the production company, the ratings were not good enough. Disney has made a mistake in letting In A Heartbeat go. There are an abundance of other shows that do not get as many viewers, yet stay put in their places. Luckily, IaHB still gets the occasional rerun, so if you ever catch it, give it a chance and watch this great show that deserves way more than it got. Long live In A Heartbeat (reruns!)

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.

How often do you come across a show aimed at teenagers that does not portray dumb kids doing stupid things in unrealistic situations?

What happened to shows that were "real", that people could actually relate to, that didn't have to be completely mindless to be successful?

"In a Heartbeat" was exactly what TV viewers needed. A very intelligent show, it followed the lives of EMT teenagers dealing with their daily lives in school, at home and at work. The characters easily hooked you on, and their adventures were interesting to watch. It was neither overly dramatic nor sugarcoated, and yet was still very enjoyable to watch. The acting was terrific and the storyline was simply remarkable. Most everyone who watched the show fell in love with it.

I have no idea what reason Disney could give on why they cancelled the show, and I'd love to see it start up again, but I know that it most likely won't happen. Instead, Disney should consider releasing the lone season of "In a Heartbeat" on VHS/DVD to make up for their big mistake.

A definite 10/10 stars show. Catch the reruns if you can.

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.
