As I was watching TV last night, I saw a quick promo for a new series coming this fall.
Yep … They’re re-making Charlie’s Angels.
Yeah, the girls are cute. I have no clue who any of them are. I don’t know exactly how I feel about this.
Is this the best idea? I mean … Wasn’t Charlie’s Angels one of the most awesome shows of the seventies? The cast alone could never be matched.
Let me explain my history with the “angels” …
I was a young girl when this show was on and absolutely loved it. It showed women as beautiful, smart, and strong. I thought women could do anything!
The show came on a little later in the evening and past my bedtime, but because I had a sincere love for the show and begged my mom to let me stay up just that one night a week, I was able to watch it. Even thought it was a school night, it was the one night my bedtime was an hour later. Thank you, Mama!
My favorite “angel” was Kelly (Jaclyn Smith). I wrote her fan letters and wore Enjoli (her perfume). I was a young stalker. Cut me some slack … I was a kid.
On the playground, we would play Charlie’s Angels. It was always a fight over who would be who because I wouldn’t play unless I was Kelly. We’d rotate who was each character because no one wanted to get stuck playing Sabrina. We had that gun-pose down and chased criminals all over the yard.
I don’t think I’ll watch the show because I want to keep my great memories of the “angels” in tact.
Other great things of the seventies that can’t be matched:
Who doesn’t love the bright, bold wallpaper patterns?
Granted … there was some good and bad fashion. But, the good was really good.
Gotta have something to wear to disco.
Fruit Stripe Gum & Pop Rocks … Genius.
Fondue is totally making a comeback. You go, fondue!
Man, I do love the ’70s.
You go, Daphne. Loved it! Giggled all the way through and got a little warm and fuzzy when I saw those pop-rocks. Thanks for the trip down memory lane this morning. Great way to start my day!
And don't forget music by "Queen". I always loved Kelly too. Anytime I went to the hairdresser, she gave me Charlie's Angels Kelly hair.
I wouldn't play unless I was Kelly either. 🙂
I love Fruit Stripe gum, so much so, that when I saw it in a "speciality" store I paid $3.00 for a pack, and then remembered the flaw of the fruit stripe: it looses it's taste 2 seconds after you start chewing it. Now, I can find it just about anywhere, and nope, I don't but it.
I did watch Charlie's Angels, but I was more into Dukes of Hazard, Donny and Marie, Dallas…come to think of it I think I'm a decade later 80's. I will say: I loved Farah's hair, Jaclyn was the "prettiest" and I liked Kate because she was the "smart" one.
I recently heard they were re-making Charlie's Angels as well and I'm with you – I don't think you should mess with something that was such a classic. Everytime they try (Knight Rider for example) it falls waayyy short.
I didn't realize they were remaking Charlie's Angels!! Hmmm…the girls in that picture just don't…they don't "fit" if that makes any sense. They don't look like they could hold a gun, lol!!
