Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
grantster88 This is the show that started me on the path where I am today as a paramedic. Someone wrote that its unrealistic at times however I believe this was more realistic when it came out then shows on TV today looking back on a few episodes they did a great job at the realism. Someone said it was unreal because EMT's cannot give drums however is you follow the story line they receive additional training moving there level to intermediate as it was called at that time. All and all I hope Disney revisits the idea of making a new version of this TV show. Without it I probably would not be in a job I love today.Two Thumbs up!
Firetears_X Okay, Disney is known for a lot of shows with teen elements. Lizzie McGuire dealt with a few teen issues, and so did The Famous Jett Jackson, but in all honesty, as much as I love those shows, it's still a kid's show. In a Heartbeat was different. It was a show really directed towards teens and it had interesting and realistic characters and stories. I remember one episode was about huffing and another episode where they called cheerleaders "skanks". It was unlike any other Disney show.And as a kid, I loved the show. It has story lines for the younger girl too, to keep a younger generation interested, and a lot of EMT action to keep the older viewers interested as well. And above all, it was education. It taught me how to react to a lot of situations, whether it's a dangerous-life changing experience or something dealing with friends of mine. It was such a great show and Disney shows this satisfying only come every once in a while.
CndnGrlEh 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.
Zoogerjon15 I was trying to figure out why Disney cancelled this show. At first I thought maybe they didn't want anymore Canadian produced shows.(No offense Canada. I love Montreal.) But that didn't make sense. Ratings? Yeah like that's a factor. If Disney cancelled shows based on ratings Dave the Barbarian would be gone by now along with Lizzie McGuire. So I thought and thought. Then it hit me. This show is a drama. All the shows they have now are comedies. So maybe they didn't want to loose there target audience with Dawson's Creek type stuff(I know there are better dramas than DC but I'm just trying to make a point). Let's face it. Disney's programming has gone down hill. After Jett Jackson and So Weird left, that was it. All the shows are crappy. Even the Proud Family is loosing luster. Disney made a BIG mistake in cancelling this show. At least this one had realism. They need better programming.
