A SELECTION OF 96 SHOWS ON 24 DVD'S
Jonathan Smith is a probationary angel sent back to Earth to
help people. During the series' first episode, he meets embittered
ex-policeman Mark Gordon (as Jonathan is walking along a little-used
road, on which Mark happens to be driving). Jonathan helps reform Mark,
with the grateful Mark agreeing to become Jonathan's right-hand
associate in carrying out the heavenly mission. The two begin
traveling the country as itinerant workers, receiving assignments
from "the Boss" (an unseen associate only Jonathan could communicate
with), with their mission being to deliver love, understanding and
humility to the people they encountered. Typical episodes stressed
moral, Christian themes; though many episodes dealt with common human
failings, such as egotism, bitterness and greed, some shows addressed
such topics as racism and cancer. A few shows, however, were played
mainly for laughs (such as Landon recreating his first famous starring
role in a takeoff of his 1957 film I Was a Teenage Werewolf).
