    Disney, Disney, Disney...

    Why did you have to cancel such a great show?! All they show on Disney are the same thing. All of their shows relate to comedy and its all the same. In a Heartbeat had originality, but no Disney was probably too scared that a kid may see a little blood. This was one of my favorite shows and I can't suggest that you check it out because Disney stopped showing the reruns, which is a shame. Its a shame Disney is not ready to handle a drama series and until then you will get the same old children comedy.

    Sometimes I love you Disney other times you just screw up.

    The best show on Disney

    This, in my opinion, is thebest show on Disney! It has an interesting setting and characters who's lives you can get interested in. All of the actors do a good job. Even though it is mostly a drama, it also has some comic relief. I don't think this show would interest adults or kids, mainly only teenagers will like it. If you want to see a show with interesting plots and some good looking people, this is a good one to pick.

    Amazing, inspiring and smart show... a rare treasure!

    How often do you come across a show aimed at teenagers that does not portray dumb kids doing stupid things in unrealistic situations?

    What happened to shows that were "real", that people could actually relate to, that didn't have to be completely mindless to be successful?

    "In a Heartbeat" was exactly what TV viewers needed. A very intelligent show, it followed the lives of EMT teenagers dealing with their daily lives in school, at home and at work. The characters easily hooked you on, and their adventures were interesting to watch. It was neither overly dramatic nor sugarcoated, and yet was still very enjoyable to watch. The acting was terrific and the storyline was simply remarkable. Most everyone who watched the show fell in love with it.

    I have no idea what reason Disney could give on why they cancelled the show, and I'd love to see it start up again, but I know that it most likely won't happen. Instead, Disney should consider releasing the lone season of "In a Heartbeat" on VHS/DVD to make up for their big mistake.

    A definite 10/10 stars show. Catch the reruns if you can.

    A charming little show!

    So you have The Disney Channel with a lot of their shows that lack something. Well In a Heartbeat is not that way it has a charm to it. This is a show about substance and quality. This is a show that could wind up on the WB Network it is that good. Now Shawn Ashmore spent time on the Nickelodeon show Animorphs which was a good offering that didn't last at Nick. All I can say is give In a heartbeat a chance with the sugar speckled theme song to the way it travels with the characters you'll see why this show is worth your time and mine.

    Good show on Disney

    This is a great Disney show. Most of Disney's shows are pretty corny, but this one is an overall winner. The show is about a teenage EMT (not really, all of the "teenage" EMT members are over 18 in real life) who go around and save people. there is also some comic relief in this show, even though it is mostly a drama. Kids and adults might not like this show, but teenagers will. it is a very informative show about the teenage EMT program. I give it a 8/10 - a little un-realistic (the teenage EMT in the shoe does some things that REAL teenage EMT's are not allowed to do, like administer medications), but the show itself has great actors and entertaining stories.
