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.

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.

In A Heartbeat is a wonderful show. It is basically the only one I watch besides Gilmore Girls and 7th Heaven. In my oppinion, I think it is sad that The Disney Channel may be cancelling the only educational show they have on their station. In my oppinion it is very life like, and you can relate to their problems, well not of the EMT thing, but of their relationship problems, and most teens go through that. SO i hope that the Disney Channel has enough sense not to cancel this show! luv to all! Em

This show has a good story line, but is a bit realistic in some aspects. For example, technically, an EMT-B, which Disney characterized these characters as being, cannot administer medication, defibrillation (clear...shocking!), or other items that they do on the show. Despite that, which really isn't important, this show is entertaining, funny, and even in its own way, informative. In my opinion, the general age group that will enjoy the program at its best is 12 to 17, but don't go by me, check it out for yourself anyway! Its a good show, with a good "helping people and promoting international goodwill" story line.
