YMMV: Touched By An Angel
  • Anvilicious: Though whether or not any of these anvils were necessary depends on who you ask.
  • Complete Monster: Satan and his various minions like Monique. Goes without saying.
  • Deader than Disco: This was a Top 10 show at the height of its run, even outdrawing The Simpsons in its Sunday night time slot, but after a schedule switch to Saturdays, the ratings plummeted.
  • "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: John Dye, who played Andrew — the Angel of Death — from the second season onward, died in January 2011 of a heart attack. Out of all four main protagonists, he was the first and (thus far) only to go.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Monica's crisis of faith and temptation by Satan in "Netherlands" is the direct result of her witnessing a building being destroyed by a bomb, killing many. It aired May 6, 2001, and a repeat had to be pulled from CBS's schedule in the wake of 9/11 later that year.
  • Heartwarming Moments: If not in every single episode, then damn near it.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: An episode featured Zachary Quinto as a young man who was abandoned by his father at a young age. He would later go on to play a character whose parental abandonment didn't have such a heartwarming conclusion.
  • So Bad, It's Good: For some.
