Thanks Johnnie Hey all! This is my first temp. board to moderate ever, so I'm excited, and looking forward to spending some time here. Unfortunately, I've never seen this show before though, so I hope you don't hold that against me, and take it easy on me!

Have fun, Sadia!

Sadia Have fun with your first assignment

Wynter

Natasha and Fangirl!Twin I have to admit, while I've heard of the show, I don't know what it's about at all! Can someone fill me in? I probably will add it to my list anyway, but you know it's going to be a looong time before I get to it I didn't know Amber was in it either, cool stuff.

Sheida, thanks!

Hello! Glad to have you as our temp mod Basically Joan Girardi (Amber Tamblyn) is a high school girl who is approrached in the pilot episode by a cute guy (later known as Cute Guy God ) who tells her that he is God and he is going to be asking her to do a few things. God appears in every episode asking Joan to do something and takes on different forms throughout the whole show, including young, old, male, female, etc. A lot of times the things God asks her to do are really small and she doesn't get why God wants her to do them (they are things like learning how to play chess, going out for the school musical, asking a bully to a school dance), but they usually have quite an impact on Joan herself or the people around her.

The show also shows her family, Will and Helen Girardi, older brother Kevin, and younger brother Luke. Kevin is in a wheelchair following a car accident (that happened prior to the Pilot episode) in which he was the passenger and his best friend at the time was driving drunk.

I hope that wasn't too much info - I really suggest watching it - it's very good without being preachy or religious Amber Tamblyn is also really funny in it.

Oh wow, that sounds like a very interesting plot, I'm putting it on my list of shows to watch, how many seasons/episodes does it have?

Gabriela

Unfortunately, it was only two seasons The show is very good and different from any other show on TV I've ever seen. I hope you like it!

Wynter

Gabriela, thanks for all the information! The show sounds quite intriguing, I'll definitely have to check it out at some point Do you ever happen to find out why God wants her to do certain things, like I mean, do they ever lead to something bigger, or is that an unexplained mystery because of the cancellation?

Sadia, Amber is amazing in this show, one of my favorite actresses for sure. And yes, at some point in the episodes you find out God's reasons for asking her to do certain tasks, usually by seeing how things work out. There was so much more that could have been explored though and the end of S2 does leave you hanging. Oh yes, I'm still SO bitter.

I think you did a great job explaining the show Gabriela.

bring me home

Awwww! for your first assignment!!! Have fun, hon!

Wynter

Jeeen! Thanks for the love!

Natasha, I don't blame you at all for being bitter, I'm the same about the things I love that get cancelled. I know how to hold a mean grudge

Enigma

Sheida - You should definitely watch!


Nats - I'm still bitter too.
