I noticed in a TV guide recently that there was a
new version of Charlie's Angels - one of these
terribly fashionable reboots - running on Wednesdays on E4. Now -
guilty confession - I'm quite a fan of the two
movies, starring Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz, and am
secretly a little bit disappointed that they only made the two, but TV reboots of old series have tended to be (a)
a little bit crap, lacking the charm of the original and (b)
cancelled very early on, sometimes not even managing one full season.
So,
out of curiosity, I switched on to the
second episode today (missed the first one because I just didn't know to look for it last week). Imagine my surprise when:
- It turns out to star, amongst others, Rachel Taylor (from the first TransFormers movie)
- It's 'younger, sexier' take on Bosley is played by Ramon Rodriguez (from the second TransFormers movie)
- This episode features a local cop/ex-fiance of one of the Angels played by that guy from the Old Spice ads
Drew Barrymore is listed as one of the producers, too... but it looks as though the series got cancelled. Not surprising, really... it's silly, campy stuff, but completely po-faced, making it just like every
other terrible TV reboot from the last few years.
