in and around Saint George, Utah. During the third season, three episodes were filmed in and around Natchez, Mississippi (in August and September 1998). Cancellation After the show's third season in 1999, the show was cancelled by CBS due to low ratings and not the controversial school shooting episode "A Day in the Life" scheduled to air two days after the Columbine shooting. According to then CBS president, Nancy Tellem, she states the following on the show's cancellation: "We were looking at it to see how it was growing, as we normally do with all our shows, and, unfortunately, it wasn't growing. And, as much as we tried to change the emphasis -- instead of it being a Winnebago going across the country we placed it in an urban setting -- it just wasn't performing." The last episode, simply titled "Finale" aired on May 20, 1999. The characters of the Greene family were never seen or mentioned again on the parent show Touched by an Angel which continued on for four more years, ending in 2003. Recurring actor Ossie Davis returned to the show on a recurring basis, but not as his Erasmus Jones character, but instead playing an angel named Gabriel.
