Charlie's Angels: Discussion Thread

[sheilaforever]

They don't look sexy at all (to be Charlie's Angels!) and don't seem to have enough moxy...

[All My Shadows]

I think they look good together. A little on the thing side, but that's okay. The picture looks like the part from the old opening credits where the Angels would do their strut out of the police department.

So far, so good. I'm with this for the time being. I just hope TPTB really, really study the original and keep its tone, look, and feel. I can deal with Florida standing in for California (don't really understand the point, but whatever), but I won't accept an über serious version or one that's full of crappy jokes like HF0. The episodes being self-contained gives me great hope.

I think that Annie looks great as does Minka. Unfortunately, I think the show tanks, but I hope this opens the door for Annie to get more recognition and work.

Ramon Rodriguez as Bosley? Ugh! What a miscast.

Despite the age and race difference, I think he bears an uncanny resemblance to the original actor, David Doyle. I think its the eyes and nose; they have similar facial features.

Rachael Taylor is just a mess.

Not digging the new Bosley. It's 2011, people. Let's make Bosley a female. And while we're at it? Let's make her Pamela Sue Martin, too.

wow thats the best Annie has ever looked.

If Hawaii 5-0 and Nikita remakes can be somewhat successful than this one should be able to find success as well. Hopefully we'll be able to see one photo where Rachel looks good.

[DRW50]

Hawaii 5-0 is a timeslot hit so I don't know if that is a guide.

I don't know where NBC could put this for a good timeslot. I guess after The Voice.

[lovely_m]

Castle is starting to beat Hawaii 5-0 in the timeslot. These shows I mentioned weren't the mega hits they were intended to be but the do well enough.

NBC can't put the show anywhere since Charlie's Angles is an ABC show. They probably will put the show on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Just saw the promo and I love it! So far my most eagerly anticipated show for the fall

[CassieFan]

It looks so campy, I'll definitely check out the pilot. I just hope it won't be bad as Hawaii Five-0, that show is just so painful to watch.

[JackPeyton]

It looks like the best kind of camp, campy but the show plays it straight. I hate it when shows play up the camp.

I think this looks a lot like H50 actually. I hated H50 when it started but around episode 8 it got good.

[All My Shadows]

I've only watched one episode of H50 and I wasn't big on it because a lot of it was so random and pointless. They spent like five minutes on a basketball match between Scott Caan and DL Hughley. I liked the story, though, and I wanted to watch more, but I'm so not used to watching current crime/mystery shows, so I never got around to seeing it again.

But CA has me excited. I really really really really hope they can capture all that was great about the original while making it modern. It can be campy, but it must NOT be silly and obnoxious. I've been wanting a fun, breezy hour of crime drama for years now, and I hope this is it. Two of the three girls look great in nearly every picture I've seen of them, and Minka really looks like she could have fit in with Kate, Jaclyn, and Farrah. I've no problems with Bosley being young and hot, I just hope they don't try for a romance story with him and one of the Angels.

It's not necessary for them to have the old Angels make guest appearances, but it'd be a nice one-off thing. They could do a sweeps episode where Sabrina and Kelly (and/or Kris) joined forces with the new girls to solve a case.
