'Touched by an Angel' is an American drama series that premiered on CBS on September 21, 1994 and ran for 211 episodes and 9 seasons until its conclusion on April 27, 2003. Created by John Masius and produced by Martha Williamson, the series stars Roma Downey, as an angel named Monica, and Della Reese, as her supervisor Tess. Throughout the series, Monica is tasked with bringing guidance and messages from God to various people who are at a crossroads in their lives. From the third season on, they are frequently joined by Andrew (John Dye), the angel of death. As the series progresses, the cases she works help Monica transition from being a rookie "caseworker" to being promoted to a supervisor herself after her final case in the series finale.
Most episodes of the series were produced in Salt Lake City, Utah. It eventually became one of CBS highest-rated series during its third through six seasons, peaking at the sixth highest rated show during its fourth season, but it saw a significant drop in ratings after its move from Sunday to Saturday in its eighth season. In 1996, Promised Land was launched as a spin-off series, following the Greene family whom Monica had met during one of her cases. Several crossover episodes aired during Promised Land s three season run.
