Tom the Angel - Bumbling apprentice angel who always needed the help of
his earthly brother, Dick Smothers on the sitcom THE SMOTHER BROTHERS
SHOW/CBS/1965-66.
Originally Tom (Tom Smothers) was lost at sea. But, a few years later he
returns as an angel in training, looking to earn his wings, but first he who
must pass his probationary period by performing good deeds on earth.
Tom took up residence with his swinging bachelor brother, Dick whose guidance
and advice was always sought by Tom to get him out of his blundered schemes.
Dick worked for Pandora Publications for publisher Leonard J. Costello
(Roland Winters). Unfortunately, Tom's angelic problems often spilled over to
Dick's work schedule, which forced him to take time off and potentially
threatened Dick's professional chances for advancement in the organization.
Others on hand were Harriet MacGibbon as Mrs. Costello; Marilyn Scott as
their daughter, Diane Costello; and Ann Elder as Janet, Dick's girlfriend. Tom
reported back to heaven to a never-seen supervisor named Ralph, (The Temporary
Assignment Angel) who contacted Tom by phone.

(Theme Song Lyrics)
Tonight you'll meet two brothers
Who just happen to be us
Though Tom is slightly different
The problem we will now discuss.
Brother Tom was lost at sea
Without his water wings
And now he is an angel
And tries to do amazing things.
That’s right. Brother Dick
It's no trick if you see
Lot's of different faces
That look a lot like me.
An angel on a visit
To his brother here below
Can cause a lot of trouble
There's miracles in sight
But they always fall apart
