Charlie's Angels (2011) Premieres on ABC on September 22, 2011



Everyone deserves a second chance -- even a thief, a street racer and a cop who got in a little too deep. After all, the three women who solve cases for their elusive boss, Charlie Townsend, are no saints. They're angels... Charlie's Angels.

Set in Miami, this fun, glamorous, action-packed take on the 1970s smash hit series introduces us to three new angels, all fearless detectives, head-turning beauties and close friends. There's Abby (Rachael Taylor), a Park Avenue princess who became a world-class thief. Then there's Kate (Annie Ilonzeh), a Miami cop who fell from grace, losing both her career and her fiancé. Finally there's Gloria, a disgraced army lieutenant who has a way with explosives. When one of the angels' missions ends in Gloria's tragic death, Charlie persuades them to partner with Gloria's childhood friend, Eve (Minka Kelly), a street racer with a mysterious past. They may not know each other yet, but one thing's for sure -- Abby, Kate and Eve will always have each others' backs.

The only thing I'm against is Charlies Voice....it doesn't fit some how.

I was unimpressed.  Killing one of the angels in the first episode just didn't seem to fit.  Why put her in the opening credits and then 10 min later, kill her.  Humph.

Ehh....If I miss it I'm okay, but I will try for a few more epi.

I thought the same thing and then hiring her friend to take her place was a little predictable and with them catching Gloria’s killer it was all wrapped up to quickly but the donut in the car to catch him was amusing

It is so sad that the Film (both TV & Film) think everything needs to be rebooted.  The Charlie Angel's films were bad enough, but at least they had enough sense to laugh at itself, which made it a better movie.

I really enjoyed reading that article

Well i thought it was rather obvious they was kill glory off since in promo we know who the angels are,  it seem pointless but i am guessing that there changed the minds about actress needed a replacement?. I agree with everyone that was an average episode i think this going go same way as knight rider reboot. it won't past 1 season.

I wasn't having warm fuzzy's about this show either.  It's had two episodes and I feel more like it's about the angels than the crimes.  Kates story line was too intense and I didn't feel like I connected with the bad guys or the dead model.

Also, the blond was just "able" to get a modeling job so easily and quickly.  I would have thought it was more complex than that.   The story lines need to be about the crime and leave the personal stuff farther in the back ground.

Kate's ex-fiance, Detective Ray did a lousy job in searching the girls room and missing the money and then to make things worse he missed her body at the second place but at leased he came good in the end

Well i have say the scam wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be green card marriage and getting paided that much with no actually physical contact seem good deal.

It was a great deal it's just a shame he was an assassin

Okay this episode was a bit better.  I really wish they would get off all the personal stuff and just solve cases.  THAT would help immensly with the stories.

Loved that Abby was the Gutter angel. She kept doing the remedial stuff.  IT, and sleeping on a lower thread count.  HAHA

Well i don't think that's going to happen but i have say they do work well as a team but Eve seems to get better fight sequences out of all the Angels.

You would of thought Bosley's ear piece would of been found considering the found the transponder in the watch and after saving Amanda lets hope she don't want to wright a story about the Angels

Charlie's Angels' cancelled by ABC



Some classics — even the cheesiest ones — are better left in the past, and Charlie’s Angels, it seems, is no exception: ABC is shutting down production the reboot from Smallville scribes Al Gough and Miles Millar.

A network representative says the show will continue to air on Thursdays, filling the 8 p.m. slot with an unknown number of episodes (four of the show’s eight shot episodes have aired). Last night’s hour showed some ratings growth for the first time, climbing a tenth of a point to 6 million viewers and a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating. But it wasn’t enough to reverse the show’s fate.

Why did the reboot fail? As Ken Tucker said in his review, the series found more of its inspiration from the Angels movies (co-produced by Drew Barrymore, who also had a production hand in this TV remake) than it did from the 1970s TV series featuring the late Farrah Fawcett. So there was lots of Hollywood-style kick-assery, before Minka Kelly, Rachael Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh retreated all kitten-like to the requisite speaker phone to check in with Charlie.

In a column they wrote for EW, Gough and Millar saw it as a plus that Charlie’s Angels was picked up on the same day the series finale of Smallville aired. “We took that as a fortuitous omen,” they wrote. “The truth is, we won’t know if all our creative bets pay off until the show airs. We have our fingers crossed that the angels will be smiling on us.” Not this time.

there are some old tv shows that should not of been remade, this was one of them.
Author: bala    Time: 10-14-2011 11:38     Subject: Reply 29#29 spratt89's post

Well the networks are running out of ideas -it does seem like original show like Revenge are better than remakes.

saw this coming.  This show was terrible.

i think anyone who been watching tv show for few years could see this coming.

Getting into the hole was too easy but not getting out and Samantha Masters was impressive but finding out how Bosley is connected to Charlie was interesting

Well i had feeling that guy faked his death but finding out Abby's father was good background
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-25-2011 03:34     Subject: Reply 34#34 bala's post

Mercer was lucky the photographer became the decoy but finding out who he was was interesting and getting Wyatt back only for him to run to his girlfriend was predictable, Bosley in the lift was amusing

I was beginning to think the art gallery guy knew nothing with the amount of painting he thought they had ruined but Bosley having his identity compromised was an interesting twist and looks like we haven't seen the last of Oswalt / Zoe

Talk about good timing but a couple of seconds after finding the identity of the assassin she is spotted in front of them on the beach which was a little to convenient and Mark's girlfriend being the leak that got his father killed was sad
Author: bala    Time: 11-16-2011 02:59     Subject: Reply 38#38 codebreaker's post

Yeah but i knew it turned women and not a male assassin - The amount girl on girl fighting is getting more predictable
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-19-2012 01:19     Subject: 1x08 They Are Not Saints

I'm glad Hugo/Josh wasn't a killer after Eve started to get close to him but getting shot brought back his memory which was kind of ironic when his wife and daughter turned up
