Teen Angel

This was on of my favorite TV shows when I was growing up and I was extremely disappointed when it was canceled. This show did not deserve to be canceled and was among the most popular of the TGIF line-up. Later I found out the reason this show was canceled.

Corbin Allred, who played Steve, is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and at the time of the shows cancellation had turned 19 and decided to serve a mission for his church. Without the main character the show could no longer continue and was therefore taken off the air.

At the time the show was on i was seven and it was hilarious. HE DIED FROM EATING AN OLD HAMBURGER! that was hilarious. all the people making fun of it are old and I'm wondering what they are doing watching old shows from TGIF? The acting was your standard teen sitcom, not superb but well enough for the younger kids to believe the story. the jokes were fine, once you grow up,they seem trite but i assure you they were funny at the time ( it was the 90s!!) It was edgier than Sabria, and a few double ententes slipped through the strict TGIF censors. Some day, they will put the show back on the air in the us and all of the 90s generation of kids (us!) will remember how funny the 90s television was. (corny but fitting to the shiny bright times highlighted by the spice girls)

I thought Teen Angel was THE COOLEST show ever!!!! By coolest, i mean that there is no other show which delves into teen issues as accurately as this one. The writers of this show obviously have done their research into what it's like to be a teen angel. i myself feel as though *i* am a teen angel, so i can relate to this show. I especially liked the first episode where Marty dies!! This is only because the special effects just blew me away!...and it was sooooooooooo funny!What classic jokes! Have you ever heard of a concept where an angel has retractable wings?

And Steve is the most well developed character because he helps the show stay grounded. Good work Corbin! I just wish the show went on for much much much MUCH longer!!!!!!!!

...too bad it ended so soon. its the best comedy show i've seen, after Boy Meets World. i dont blame people if they think the jokes are lame...it depends on the person watching.

besides, the jokes are prety corny sometimes, but, i do laugh at corny jokes. so if it makes someone laugh, or even just smile, then somehow, its good. [that is the main reason why comedies exist]

it has an original plot and the actors are good, i mean, just right. its worth watching. :)

Ah, TGIF. As a kid, I grew up with that block, as it had some good shows like Family Matters, Dinosaurs, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and this show.

The story of this comedy has a dark scene for a family sitcom airing on a Friday Night block famous for airing shows the entire family will enjoy. Marty, the main character, dies after accepting a dare from his best friend, Steve, and eats a six-month-old burger. However, he meets a floating head, who reveals himself to be Rob, God's cousin, who states his extreme youth is why they're considering his admission to Heaven, however, Marty must prove himself worthy, as Rob has a mission for him, revealing his friend, Steve, is going through the worst time of his life. Other than losing his friend, his family is divorced and going through difficulties. So Marty's mission is to be Steve's guardian angel, which Marty accepts. And thus, the misadventures begin.

So, this series was created alongside You Wish (the show with the genie) in an attempt by ABC to capitalize on the success of Sabrina The Teenage Witch. So it follows almost the same formula, as episodes focus on Marty trying to use something powerful to help Steve in a situation he's facing, only to end up making things worst. One episode involves Marty finding out he can travel through time and uses said power to stop himself from eating the burger, resulting in Steve and his family eating it, while another focuses on Steve's sister taking a feather from Marty's wings, which grants wishes, with Marty having to seek guidance from Rob to set things right.

It was a good show with the same humor that made Sabrina a hit. Sadly, it never got the success the teenage witch enjoyed due to CBS launching the CBS Block Party (a block whose failure would create an audience fracture that, combined with other reasons, would lead to TGIF's demise), as well as Disney management, caused this rare gem of a show to end with one season making up 17 episodes. This is a good series that truly deserved better.
