A PICTURE OF HER IN HER UNDERWEAR, AND GOD TELLS JOAN

TO JOIN THE SCHOOL BAND, ON A REBROADCAST OF "JOAN OF ARCADIA," FRIDAY, JUNE 18

"No Bad Guy" -- As Joan and her friends attempt to seek revenge on the two female classmates who circulated a locker-room picture of Joan in her underwear, God tells Joan to join the school band, on a rebroadcast of JOAN OF ARCADIA, Friday, June 18 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. James Hayman, one of the series' executive producers, directed the episode that was written by Sibyl Gardner. (Originally broadcast 2/27/04)

After Joan stands up for a classmate who is being harassed by two girls in her gym class, the girls humiliate Joan by circulating an embarrassing picture of her throughout the school. As Grace and Adam plot revenge for the cruel act, Joan has all she can do to make time for band practice. Meanwhile, Will finds it difficult not to judge an elderly driver who accidentally hit and killed several people at an outdoor market. Additionally, Kevin's tension with Rebecca increases after he uses his position at the paper to get back at a writer who panned Helen's paintings.
