Default Anyone watch "Joan of Arcadia"?

Just wondering if anyone here watches "Joan of Arcadia"?

If you've never heard of it, it's a new tv show (on CBS in the USA) about a 16 year old girl who talks to God (He appears to her as various people from a little girl to a good looking guy). I didn't watch the first few weeks, expecting it to be too religiony and preachy. But then I tripped over it one week and it drew me in and now I'm hooked. The writing is very well done, the characters well written, the story arc well thought out, and the religion aspect very non-denominational and non-preachy.

Except for the "God aspect", it kind of reminds me of early Buffy episodes, but unlike Buffy, it's actually getting good ratings! If anyone else has seen it, what did you think?

Joan is played by Amber Tamblyn who used to be on General Hospital.



And her brother is played by Jason Ritter, who bears an uncanny resemblence to his late father, John Ritter.
