"The Gary Coleman Show" is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera that originally aired on NBC from September 18, 1982 to September 10, 1983.

In 1999, was it featured in the Cartoon Network UK show "Cult Toons". However, in keeping with the style of the program, the first few seconds of a cartoon would play before Andy would suddenly explode for no reason.

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.

Each 30-minute episode consisted of two 15-minute segments. Thirteen 30-minute episodes were produced.

Jennifer Darling, who played Lebeau's supervising angel Angelica, uses her nasally voice in a similar fashion to that of a future role, Ayeka of "Tenchi Muyo OVA".
