CBS has released some information, images, and a video preview of their upcoming primetime comedy series, Angel from Hell. The half-hour series will air on Thursdays at 9:30pm but won’t debut until November (once Thursday Night Football has finished).
Here’s the information:
ANGEL FROM HELL stars Golden Globe and multiple Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch in a single-camera comedy about Amy (Lynch), a colorful, brassy woman who insinuates herself into Allison’s (Maggie Lawson) organized and seemingly perfect life, claiming to be her “guardian angel.” Allison is an intense, driven doctor who is sure that Amy is just an inebriated, outspoken nut, until every one of her warnings proves true. Cautioned by Amy not tell anyone about her, Allison can’t discuss this over-the-top oddball with her father and business partner, Marv (Kevin Pollak), a sunburned dermatologist who shares an office with Allison, or her younger brother, Brad (Kyle Bornheimer), a pharmaceutical sales rep who lives over her garage. As Allison tries to push Amy away, Amy makes her final pitch: her sole mission is to provide Allison with helpful guidance that nudges her in the right direction in life – and it’s her final chance to prove herself as an angel. With that, Allison agrees to this unlikely relationship because maybe a weird friend is exactly what she needs… and what if Amy really is her “guardian angel”? Tad Quill and Emmy Award winner Don Scardino (“30 Rock”) are executive producers for CBS Television Studios. The pilot was directed by Don Scardino.
What do you think? Do you plan to check out this new series? Do you think it will be a hit in the ratings? Cancelled after one season?
I love this show! Great characters. I really liked Forever also. There is no reason why both shows can’t be on. But Angel is very funny.

Looks much more entertaining than Lucifer, looking forward to it!
I don’t particularly care for the Jane Lynch “style” but this show might change my mind … I’m looking forward to watching the show, here’s to November !!!
I can’t wait to watch this. Last season CBS took over the ratings for a lot of show on other networks. I would be careful of what the other networks but up against this show. I think it will last. I hope so.
This could be really good. Looking forward to watching!!!
They cancelled Forever for this crap? I hate Jane Lynch she’s not funny, she’s can’t act all of her characters are exactly the same, loud obnoxious, self-centered *******! If Jane Lynch is in it I won’t watch it. I hope this show gets cancelled after 3 episodes.
So this is why forever got canceled. I think I changed my mind I will not watch this show because from the trailer is seemed OK, I liked. It is nothing near as great as Forever.
I like Jane Lynch…she is funny, can be serious, can be anything…she’s a great actress. I’m looking forward to seeing this show. Again, though, I hate to get interested in a show and CBS pull the plug with no closure!!
Well I just watched the 5min 40sec Angle From Hell trailer … I believe I might get to like this program. Jane Lynch not being on my list of favorite TV personalities isn’t going to matter, it’s funny, really funny, I’ll have to check it out … My opinion, thanks ….
I’m definately going to check this out. I love Jane Lynch, she’s hilarious.
