Joan of Arcadia is an incredible show that keeps you wanting to come back every week ! Each episode makes you laugh, angry, cry ... all in one emotions ... there's always a lesson learned and in this day and age, we all need a little reminder at times of what's good and what's not. I'm disappointed that the show is being cancelled after 2 seasons .. we need more of these types of shows on the air. There are far too many Reality Shows occupying good TV space ... someone needs to relook at what is put on the air!

Joan of Arcadia ROCKS!

Always something new to be seen with each viewing. Great quality tv. Believeble charcters that teens can relate to. When will season 2 be out?

I had seen quite a few of these episodes when this show was first on TV but I had missed the pilot and some of the first episodes. Watching it in sequence made so much more sense. This series is extremely well-written with several ongoing plots, and the overall message is very uplifting. I watched this with my 14 year old nephew and he loved it too. When several of my friends found out I had the series, they asked to borrow the DVDs. This has been an excellent purchase and will get a lot of play!

A stunning achievement that truly should have lived for one more season. This thought-provoking show pushed at the boundaries of faith in God. At the same time, it was poignant and funny, a contemporary family drama with real, flawed, empathetic characters in gritty, real-life situations.

Perhaps the show was ahead of its time. Or perhaps the show's creator (undoubtedly a lapsed Catholic) was unprepared to go to the next level - exploring the interplay between good and evil, as expressed through a 17 year old California teenager. Nevertheless, Joan of Arcadia is an exceptional show - attempting to make the divine more personal; the unbelievable possible; the spiritual real.

God cares. He's involved. He knows things we don't but when he lets us see what he sees, it's pretty amazing! And humbling. And makes you want to know him better.

Even if you believe in nothing at all, this is an interesting and entertaining show that deals with human and family issues in fresh, provocative ways.

Nothing currently on network TV even comes close - in quality, depth, imagination and exploring the intriguing possibilities of a life lived in sync with God.

Buy both seasons. Dare your teenagers to watch it. You will both be glad you did.
