Product Description
A high-school girl is approached by strangers claiming to be God with assignments for her to complete.
Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: NR
Release Date: 20-MAR-2007
Media Type: DVD
For two years, CBS's Joan of Arcadia managed the neat trick of warming the heart, while keeping the gag reflex at bay. And for a family drama based around faith--and the lack thereof--preachiness was always in short supply. At the end of the first season, Joan (Amber Tamblyn) decides it's all in her head: God isn't really speaking to her. Over the summer, she attends a camp for troubled kids, and now she makes lamps. Her boyfriend, Adam (Christopher Marquette), is as confused as ever; he was just starting to believe her. While Joan questions God's existence, her mother, Helen (Mary Steenburgen), plans a return to the Catholic Church. To that end, she starts meeting with chain-smoking former nun Lilly (Constance Zimmer, Boston Legal) to help with her confirmation. Joan's father, Will (Joe Mantegna), older brother Kevin (Jason Ritter), and Helen must also contend with the lawsuit filed by the boy who caused Kevin's accident, while Joan's younger brother, Luke (Michael Welch), continues to see the surly Grace (Becky Wahlstrom) in secret. New Arcadia arrivals include Will's controlling boss, Lucy (Annie Potts), Joan's "crazy camp" friend, Judith (Sprague Grayden), and enigmatic do-gooder Ryan (Wentworth Miller, Prison Break), who shares Joan's gift. Despite critical kudos and respectable ratings, Joan of Arcadia wasn't picked up for a third season, but its spirit lives on in such disparate shows as Medium, in which a woman communicates with the dead, and My Name Is Earl, in which a man goes around doing good deeds. This six-disc set features commentary by creator Barbara Hall, producer James Hayman, and writer Stephen Nathan. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 A shame it's gone December 28, 2009
nic (new jersey)
The second season was in some ways better than the first. The last episode really set the scene for a great third season. It's a shame it didn't happen. Great show. Too bad that TV has gotten so bad that I have to resort to buying old dvds.
Joan of Arcadia Season two Review December 17, 2009
Kent Wansley
As a fan of "Joan of Arcadia" I just had to have both seasons on DVD in my collection. I recently misplaced Season 2 and after 2 weeks of looking went ahead and ordered another from Amazon.com. This season is so good that I do not mind having two copies of Season 2. (Yes I finally found the 1st copy) The second season is good because the characters are well developed and the plot is always keeping you guessing what is going to happen next? A Great show to sit down and watch with the family.
An All-Time Top Ten Television Show December 17, 2009
L. Wilson (KC, MO USA)
I watched this show when it originally aired in the mid 2000's. It was very good then and I was disappointed it was cancelled after just two seasons. The second season was better than the first. The show was getting better over time. After I recently watched the two seasons on DVD, I like the show even better. I consider Joan of Arcadia to be one of my all-time top ten television shows -- and that dates back to the 1960's.
I am very impressed with the acting skills of the main character, Amber Tamblyn. I am surprised she is not one of the big stars today.
What I really enjoyed about the season 2 DVD was the special feature of a script reading. First time I had ever seen that done. All people involved with a single episode sat around a huge table as the actors read their parts from the script. Occasionally, clips from the actual aired show were shown. Very interesting.
