The series featured Gary Coleman as the voice of Andy LeBeau, an apprentice angel, who was dispatched back to Earth to earn his wings by helping others. The half-hour series was based on Coleman’s 1982 made-for-TV movie The Kid with the Broken Halo.



In each episode, Andy was dispatched to help a child in need and resolve his problem. The antagonist in each episode was Hornswoggle, who tried to make Andy’s mission more difficult, usually by getting him to make the wrong mistake or by otherwise complicating the mission. It was up to Andy to correct whatever mistakes he made and foil Hornswoggle’s plans. Oddly enough, Angelica, couldn’t perceive Hornswoggle; this had a tendency to complicate things and get Andy in trouble.

— Oh, exploitable.
