		A little background: The series' executive producer, John Masius, created and was then ousted from "Touched by An Angel" because CBS thought his vision of the show overly dark.
		Death is in the forefront but Masius wants to focus on the show's humor and its capacity to be life-affirming, in a non-saccharine way.
		Masius cites the best-selling novel "The Lovely Bones," about a murdered girl observing how her family tries to cope, as one inspiration for his approach to the show.

		You also can see Masius' name every week on the opening credits of ''Touched by an Angel.'' He wrote the original script for that show's pilot episode, although he left the project before ''Touched by an Angel'' got on the air.
		Devlin and Emmerich (and Fox) are looking to Masius to bring warmth and honest emotions to the show's basic story of a man who suddenly turns up, apparently unaged and with some extraordinary abilities, 50 years after disappearing during an Air Force mission over the Atlantic.
		Masius said he likes the idea of working in a genre he's never tried before, science fiction.

		Kanakaredes remains just dandy, but creator John Masius seems to have taken some of the criticisms of the show to heart and has made Syd's bakery-owning sister (Paula Cale) and bartender brother (Seth Peterson) less whiny and more cheerful.
		Masius has also apparently given Syd's veterinarian dad, played by Mike Farrell, some Visine--the pet doc is much less weepy.
		The series is still shamelessly cornball (sister Joanie advertises for a bakery assistant and interviews a mime who silently acts out his answers), but hey, it's never as goofy as Ally McBeal.

		John Masius and I came up with a lot of the stories on St. Elsewhere based on our own aches and pains, our own fear of death and latent hypochondria.
		Part of the patient's journey in accepting his fate was the negative reaction to the news by his frat brothers and discovering the "wonderful redundancy" of the human body-with only one testicle left, he could still function normally.

		When devising "Providence," Masius says that "given the nature of the emotional issues, we knew our core audience would be women, but we weren't going to be so heavy-handed as to alienate anyone."
		It's probably no accident that most of these programs feature tight-knit families - three of them feature multiple generations living under the same roof or in very close proximity, and another is about a close, large nuclear family.
		If people had their druthers, they'd get along great with their siblings and their parents and their kids.

	ProvidenceSynopsis
		Providence, which first appeared in January 1999, is a family drama series created by John Masius (“Touched by an Angel,” “St. Elsewhere”) and starring Melina Kanakaredes (“15 Minutes”) as an altruistic plastic surgeon who abandons her career specialty and unfulfilling lifestyle to return to her colorful family and hometown in Providence, Rhode Island.
		Sydney Hansen (Kanakaredes) entered the field of cosmetic surgery with noble ambitions, but several years of performing collagen lip treatments and nose jobs for celebrities and over-privileged teenagers in Los Angeles began to erode her sense of purpose.
		Syd (Melina Kanakaredes) treats a woman (guest star Jana Marie Hupp, NBC's "Ed") whose mother, grandmother and sister have suffered from breast cancer and is considering a radical surgical procedure that may prevent her from contracting the disease.

		In other words, Touched's blend of religious fealty, open-minded values (some shows centered on accepting ethnic diversity and gay people) and vague theology helped the program walk a thin tightrope between all types of Christian faiths in America.
		Executive producer Martha Williamson (The Facts of Life) adapted Touched by an Angel in 1993 from a much darker vision advanced by producer John Masius (St. Elsewhere, Providence).
		Few thought Masius' original vision could succeed - not even Reese, who filmed the first, ill-fated pilot with co-star Roma Downey in 1993.

	Touched by an Angel Summary
		The series relied on spiritual faith, love, and redemption to send positive messages in an age of dramatic television filled with tremendous violence and negativity.
		The three main characters, all angels, include: Tess (Della Reese), the supervisor and mentor; Monica (Roma Downey), the new angel; and Andrew (John Dye), the angel of death.
		John Masius's original pilot script was much darker than that which was eventually shown on TV (In the original pilot, Tess was a chain-smoking angel who was frequently at Monica's throat.)
