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

This is a cartoon that, in my opinion, suffered from TMIS (Too Many Ideas Syndrome). Let's count them, shall we? We have:
  • A vintage cartoon character who is a
  • Ghost, but
  • A rebel who doesn't conform to stereotypes and has a
  • Best buddy older mentor who
  • Accepts the alternate lifestyle of his little buddy and they're
  • Guardian Angels for
  • Two female police officers in
  • A male-dominated sexist society in
  • Outer-Space of
  • The far-off future of 2179 where they
  • Fight crime and
  • Solve mysteries


Pretty simple, right? And I won't even include my own personal theory that Casper is the ghost of Batman (I have PROOF!)

Please feel free to leave your memories, stories, fun facts and whatever you want to say about Casper and The Angels in the comments below. And don't forget to go and vote for this show in our Best of 1980 Poll if you feel that this show is deserving :)
