The Gary Coleman Show

I remember staying over at my friend's house when I was in elementary school a few years ago and staying up 'til about 3 in the morning, and then turning on Cartoon Network to watch The Gary Coleman Show! I remember it being really stupid but I loved to watch it. I wish they'd release it on DVD or something.

I can't believe the stuff i'm reading about this great wholesome cartoon, sure it's a little cheesy but it a lot better then the crap that out now in my opinion. i actually looked forward to every Saturday morning to see this one along with the cartoons that were on at the time in the 80's i would love to see this series out on DVD, so i could show my sister's kids . the lessons that were learned throughout the show are priceless. sorry this is no devil show i think people that are cynical shouldn't put down a kids cartoons. they should leave them alone, people are always complaining about getting wholesome entertainment, for well me you can't get any better than this Gary Coleman Show and his classic films from the 70's and 80's.

Peace To All.

If you are looking for some brainiac cartoon to make you stop and ponder the creation of the universe, get a life. If you're looking for a cartoon that's fun to watch (and yes, aimed at small kids), this is a good one.

As noted, the series is based on the 1982 TV movie "The Kid with the Broken Halo" which was a "Touched by an Angel" type story. The main character is charged with looking after misguided mortals and helping them through their troubles.

The show only lasted one season. If it was available on DVD, I'd buy it.

This was a really good show, and I wish that they'd put it back on. It was about a kid angel who had to do good deeds to get into heaven. He was always losing his halo, and he was getting trouble from Hornswaggle too. I wish Cartoon Network would go back to other cartoons instead of those Cartoon Cartoons every single day. They're ok, but I'd like to see shows like this some more, without having to tape it at 4:00 in the morning.

A show this torturous could only have been conceived in the depths of Hell itself. Inane, insipid, and insanely irritating. A prime example of the very worst Hanna-Barbara has to offer.

Gary Coleman (in what is probably the lowest point of his dubious career) stars as a trainee angel charged with protecting a group of brainless kids in a generic city. Naturally, he's terrible at it. Fortunately for him, the only opposition he faces is in the form of a devil-type character named Hornswoggle (ho ho ho, how clever!), who obviously must not have graduated Kindergarten in Villain School. Shriek in terror as he dons a caveman disguise to scare kids from a cavern! Gasp in horror as he sends rain on a picnic! Yawn in boredom as he goes through this same shtick over and over again! You'd think that the soulless fiends responsible for the INCESSANT "witticisms" that Gary Coleman spews every five seconds or so could have come up with a much more impressive demon. But that would have been too much to ask for.

I suppose the show might be worth watching solely for camp value, but for me, even that is pushing it. Some things are just not worth the pain.
