The next angelic series that was a big hit was "Touched by Tao Of Rich Review an Angel". A nine-season hit, running from 1994 to 2003, the series was what literally sparked the modern fad for angels. Looking back at it, it was pretty much a formula show. People are in deep trouble or facing some sort of crossroad in their life? Here come the angels with their platitudes and life lessons, guding people down the right path.
Thing is, that formula worked and rocketed the series into one of CBS's number one hits. Roma Downey's Monica was the perfect mix of innocence and strength that a lot of viewers fell in love with her portrayal. The main supporting cast also, composed of Della Reese, John Dyer, and Valerie Bertinelli also managed to give the show an added dramatic push that an only an ensemble can give. It's so popular that Hallmark still runs repeats regularly on their channel.
Of course, all of this schmaltz can cause a bit of a backlash. There are quite a few not-so-angelic portrayal of our winged friends running around in the media. Gregory Widen's angelic horror movie series "The Prophecy" has Christopher Walken as the archangel Gabriel, leaving a veritable swathe of bodies behind him. The mental image alone should definitely give you the idea that Walken's Gabriel isn't out to help anyone.
