This week, Paramount is releasing Touched By An Angel: The Complete Series on DVD, featuring all 214 episodes from the nine seasons of the popular faith-based drama that ran from 1994 to 2003.  The series follows a trio of angels, Tess (Della Resse), Monica (Roma Downey), and Andrew the “Angel of Death” (John Dye), who are sent to earth to spread the message of God’s love and help people in need.

Attracting an impressive amount of viewers during its initial run on CBS, and gaining a dedicated following over the years in syndication, the show remains a sentimental classic that has affected many with its spiritual themes and memorable characters.

Packaged in a mammoth 59 disc boxed set, Touched By An Angel: The Complete Series is a worthwhile collection for fans, that would also function as an impressive looking gift for someone.  Bonus features include interviews with head writer and executive producer Martha Williamson, and the featurette Touched By An Angel Says Farewell.
