Highway to The Angel's Heaven
or
How W.D. Gaster=Michael Landon.
I think it'd be pretty funny if Gaster, or whoever is screwing with the Secret Bosses, isn't actually messing with them on Purpose, and is just going around genuinely attempting to help these fellas, but accidentally worsening their lives.
How does this link to the Popular Mid-to-Late 80's Family Drama Show, Highway to Heaven? Well, I'll tell ya.
The Premise of the show, is that a Probationary Angel known as "John Smith", (Real Creative, huh?) wanders the Country to work on assignments from "The Boss", along with a Human he meets in the first episode, Mark Gordon. These Assignments are usually to resolve an unfortunate situation that has arisen in a Person's life, usually when someone is caught in a hopeless situation. When he and Mark have finished assisting, they head off to the next person who'll need their help.
(There was a second show very similar to it in the 90s, called Touched by an Angel, but that's entirely unrelated to this.)
Anyway, the way I like to imagine it, is that Gaster is being thrown between worlds, finds himself working strange jobs in the Dark World, like a Financial Advice Hotline, or a Motivational Speaker for Clowns. Eventually he gets to a point where he's pretty sure whoever he's "helped" can figure out the rest for themselves, so he leaves. However, unlike John and Mark, he exposes his Assignments to Knowledge they were never supposed to know.
I wonder who Gaster's Mark Gordon is?
I think The Vessel could work. Much like Mark Gordon, the Vessel is rendered without a Purpose on its first Appearance.
Thank you.

Little House on the Prairie (1974–1983) Mr. Edward's Homecoming
S1E4
While in Mankato, Charles is surprised to find Isaiah Edwards, the mountain man befriended by the Ingalls family on their journey to Minnesota. The two men return to Walnut Grove together to find young Laura sick in bed and a worried Mr. Edwards promises to stay until she recovers. But Mr. Edwards' deep concern for Laura stems from a devastating personal loss and he cannot forgive the one he holds responsible. Will the Ingalls' friendship and a budding romance with postmistress Grace Snider help Mr. Edwards come to terms with his past or will he leave Walnut Grove for good?
*Isaiah Edwards: "Ol' Dan Tucker was a fine ol' man, washed his face in a fryin' pan. Combed his hair with a wagon wheel, died with a toothache in his heel. Get out of the way for Ol' Dan Tucker. He's too late to get his supper. Supper's over and dinner's cookin'. Ol' Dan Tucker just a standin' there lookin'... OHHHHHHHHHH!"

Premiering #OnThisDay in 1984, #HighwayToHeaven is a fantasy drama series that ran on #NBC until August 4, 1989. The series starred #MichaelLandon as Jonathan Smith, an angel sent to Earth in order to help people in need. #VictorFrench, Landon's co-star from his previous television series, #LittleHouseOnThePrairie, co-starred as Mark Gordon, a retired policeman who travels with and helps Smith with the tasks or "assignments" to which he is referred. The series was created and executive produced by Landon, who also directed most of the show's episodes. French directed many of the remaining episodes. It was Landon's third and final TV series and his only one set in the present day, unlike Little House on the Prairie, and Landon's first TV series, #Bonanza, both of which were Westerns. It was the final screen appearance for French, who died two months before the final episode aired; Landon went on to appear in two films, one of which was a pilot for a new series, prior to his own death in 1991.
