* ExecutiveMeddling: The show's second season suffered from massive amounts to make it more marketable to teens. Among the bigger issues were that Joan's missions from God were no longer about making the world around her a better place, but simply to learn a lesson about herself (derided by fans as "God is Joan's life coach"), the casting of both Duff sisters (albeit in separate episodes - [[Music/HilaryDuff Hilary]] in one, Haylie in three), and Adam cheating on Joan shortly after they finally started dating to introduce cheap teen melodrama at the expense of one of the most popular characters. Unfortunately, all this did was anger the fans the show already had, and it didn't survive to a third season.
