Top Twenty *real* reasons I watch "Touched by an Angel"

by Amilyn and Finabair

With many thanks to Jenni and the mysterious Jill for their input and for being sounding boards.

Written after too many shows did something we found disturbing.

20.The episodes won't be downers. They will generally end happily, or, at least, postively.

19.We will never get entire seasons full of little other than Andrew and Monica staring broodingly into each others' eyes.

18.Tess will never suddenly become mentally unbalanced and a reckless danger to those under her care, insisting on driving the caddy through every road hazard she can find.

17.One of the angels will never behead another angel and wander aimlessly off into the sunset afterwards.

16.The series will never end with all the angels being infected with a deadly, incurable virus, their fates hanging in the balance and forever uncertain.

15.We'll never have to put up with entire seasons' worth of angel imposters.

14.A psychopath will never torture Monica to death, leaving Andrew to raise the child he never knew they were having.

13.Adam will never be turned into a pincushion to justify replacing him with a blonde.

12.Monica will not suddenly disappear, start dressing strangely and then become mortal accidentally.

11.Andrew and Monica will never suddenly decide to have a one-night stand, after which Monica runs off with some other guy and gets pregnant.

10.Monica will never get pregnant and have to be concerned about what species the child might be.

9.Tess will never stalk Monica all over the place, calling, "I need your HELP, Monica" all the while planning to kill her to save her own skin. The dove would never suggest this to Tess, either.

8.The series will never end with the angels being trapped in an inescapable time loop.

7.Andrew will never, literally, eat Monica for dinner.

6.None of the angels will have a radical personality change and become a paranoid, controlling, homicidal, suicidal ego-maniac.

5.The series will never end with the phrase, "Monica never returned home...."

4.None of the angels will be cleverly replaced by a frog-eating clone.

3.The series will never suddenly change gears with an anti-climactic confrontation where Satan says, "Oh, gee, you mean you took that whole good vs. evil thing *seriously*? So sorry, I was just kidding; I'll just leave you folks alone now."

2.The series will never end by airing a cliffhanger, expecting the show to be renewed the next season - then get cancelled, never getting the opportunity to show the viewers what happened next.

1.The series will never end with all the characters being violently killed off in one fell swoop in a single episode.

---- And thank God for that!!!!! ----
