Joan of Arcadia

Tweet

I was just wondering if anyone here has ever watched this show called Joan of Arcadia? It aired on CBS from 2003 until 2005 and was about a teenage girl named Joan Giradi. In the show, her brother was involved in a car wreck that he later survived but left him paralyzed from the waist down. Actually, Joan had prayed for God to please let him survive and, if he did, she would do whatever he wanted. It just so happens that in the first episode God comes to call in that offer. Basically, in the show, Joan is visited frequently by God. However, God constantly appears to Joan in different forms ranging from animals, to cute guys, to a Goth guy, to an elderly lady. Then in each episode, God has Joan do things that might look very trivial at first or whatever but are later revealed to have accomplished something pretty big. For example, in one episode, there's a guy at her high school that doesn't really fit in and is got of a troublemaker. God tells Joan to ask him to the dance, which she ends up doing. At the end, he ends up getting caught with something and I think ends up hurting some people. I could be wrong in what happens exactly because I'm not too familiar with the show and I've only read about this particular episode. But at the end, Joan asks God what was the point and he tells her that if she had NOT asked him, then he would have gone to school and shot people who would have later died. He basically tells her, "I know both turned out bad. But this was the least of the two." Truthfully, I have barely seen any of this show but I always thought it looked and sounded interesting. I have seen some of an episode or two, but not much. That said, does anyone here like it? Is it pretty good?
