Good Heavens is an ABC comedy anthology series produced by Columbia Pictures Television that aired between February 29 and June 26, 1976. It ranked #17 in the Nielsen ratings during the 1975–76 television season.[1] Despite relatively strong initial ratings as a midseason replacement, it was canceled[2] and the remaining episodes of its thirteen episode order were burned off in May and June 1976.
The main character was Mr. Angel (Carl Reiner), an emissary of heaven who came down to Earth to grant wishes to those who had performed a good deed. The role was originally played by Jose Ferrer in the pilot, which was then titled Everything Money Can't Buy. Subsequent episodes featured actors such as Don Ameche, Susan Dey, Sandy Duncan, Pat Harrington Jr., Florence Henderson, Alex Karras, Penny Marshall, Hugh O'Brian, Loretta Swit, Brenda Vaccaro, and Fred Willard.[citation needed]
