3	No, this isn't a sketch or talk show, despite what the title suggests.
4
5	In an AnimatedAdaptation of the MadeForTVMovie ''Film/TheKidWithTheBrokenHalo'', Creator/GaryColeman stars as an apprentice angel named Andy [=LeBeau=]. OnceAnEpisode, he has to go help one or more unfortunate children on Earth solve their problems. With each mission, though, the villainous Hornswoggle would always try to sabotage Andy by tricking him into making the wrong choices, and Andy would have to fix them by the end.

7	Creator/HannaBarbera produced the show for Creator/{{NBC}}. If this cartoon was ran in first run in 1982 and then it was rerun on Creator/CartoonNetwork, [[HarsherInHindsight it's definitely harder to watch now with the main character being an angel and Gary Coleman actually having died]].
8	----
9	!!This cartoon provides examples of:
10
11	* AnimatedAdaptation: Of a MadeforTVMovie called ''The Kid With The Broken Halo''.
12	%% * FluffyCloudHeaven: Heaven in this show is exactly this kind.
13	* InconvenientlyVanishingExoneratingEvidence: Any physical evidence that [=LeBeau=] has of his tempter/tormentor Hornswoggle is doomed. That said, since his supervisor Angie is carrying an IdiotBall the size of creation itself, even HD film might not help.
14	* InvisibleToNormals: While wearing his halo, Andy can't be seen by any mortals.
15	* LastNameBasis: Boss angel Angelica typically addressed Andy by his surname.
16	* LouisCypher: The villain Hornswoggle's name is another for swindling, deceiving or conning a person.
17	* NonIndicativeName: A title like ''the Gary Coleman Show'' sounds fitting for a TalkShow or a SketchComedy but not for an animated series
18	* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Andy cannot ever convince Angie that Hornswoggle really exists; she summarily dismisses all talk of him as Andy's excuses. Because, ya know, [[SarcasmMode why would an angel]] believe in something [[IdiotBall as silly as demons and tempters?]] [[CosmicPlaything All evidence Andy obtains is absurdly destroyed]], with one time a mask Hornswoggle had used being eaten by an elephant!
19	%% * OurAngelsAreDifferent
20	* RhymesOnADime: Side character Haggle. Occasionally [[GotMeDoingIt rubbed off on others]] as well:
21	-->'''Angelica:''' Good show, [=LeBeau=]; now it's time to go.\
22	'''Andy:''' You're beginning to sound like Haggle!
23	* SecondaryColorNemesis: Hornswaggle wears purple clothing in contrast to [[BlueIsHeroic Andy's blue wardrobe]].
24	* SecretIdentity: None of Andy's friends knows he's an angel.
