Touched by an Angel (1994–2003)
1/10
Laughable, Cringeworthy, and that "8:50 glow"

I'm a Christian. I'm a sinner, saved by God's grace. BUT: I had to stop watching this show with my wife because I found it ridiculous, and I would have to stifle derisive laughter on a weekly basis. It was on between 8 and 9pm (I forget which night) and every episode, the "reveal" happened at 850pm without fail. The last straw was when they had Muhammad Ali on the show, his voice long silenced by Parkinson's. He would grunt or mumble something, and the "angels" would dutifully "translate" what he said. It was awful. They (like a lot of people) used Ali in his declining years.

Why Valerie Bertinelli was on late in the show's run is beyond me. All we needed was Clarence from Bedford Falls ("It's a Wonderful Life") and life would have been complete (eyeroll). The stories were filled with caricatures in place of characters. It was like Hallmark Channel, only worse.
