Fan Page: The Gary Coleman Show



The Gary Coleman Show, AKA "Adventures of The Guardian Angel", aka "The Kid With The Broken Halo: The Animated Series". Based on the Gary Coleman made-for-tv movie "The Kid With The Broken Halo", I'm kind of suprised that more people haven't voted for this one! Leave a few kind words in the comments below for the dearly departed Mr. Coleman, and if this was one of your favorites go ahead and vote for it in our Best Cartoon of 1982 Poll! Seriously... the reruns of the Lone Ranger Cartoon are getting more votes than Gary Coleman over there! How is that even right?!?!?b

CN ran it on/off throughtout the years, which is good. (Even if Adult Swim did it as a jab.) Odd? Sure, but it isn't the worst thing in animation, ever.

Besides, in light of Coleman's recent passing, I just can't dump on this show. Sorry.

I would NEVER dump on this show, EVER! It was one of my favorites (I think I was the only person to vote for it in the poll)... I was a HUGE Gary Coleman fan in the 80's because he was just like me (well, black-me) only really successful and got to be in all these movies and on TV shows and everybody just seemed to love him! This cartoon was every bid as good, if not better, than most Saturday Morning cartoons from previous years.

Having grown up on "Different Strokes," I gotcha. (The "Willis" catchphrase always makes me laugh.) Besides, when compared to more recent toons, I'm willing to be more generous. And there are worse ways to kill a half hour, as I'm sure you can fill-in-the-blank.

I LOVED this show when I was a kid. I barely remember a single thing about it except the girl was a spoiled brat, but I still get a warm, fuzzy feeling when I think about it.

lol, I remember this show and wondering why in the heck Webster was an angel and why he was hanging out with a nerdy white angel girl!

and oh lol whatever happened to villains jumping on their hats when they were pissed... haven't seen that sort of thing in ages.
