i never watched scarecrow - but that came after angels, correct ?
i dont think it was ever thought of as being a good show, or good acting. it was more of a "baywatch" type of show - if you show enough pretty girls, at least the guys will tune in !!Carabimero said:I tried to watch a Charlie's Angels the other day and for me personally, it just didn't hold up to me becoming an adult. It's a rare show I loved as a kid that I find unwatchable as an adult.
Yes, the opening sequence in S1 one was great. I recently watched the pilot again and it was neat seeing the angels being called into work. People can knock the show for being a bit cheesy, but at the time it was the only police drama that had females as lead (ex Police Woman) as such was going into uncharted territory. The show emphasis the beauty of the angels, but it also show how smart many of the angels were at getting information and solving the cases. It also led like many shows to action figures, posters, trading cards, etc. So, the show did something right at the time. We can say things are cheesy now, but the reality is that many of us watched the angels each week!moviebuff75 said:That opening sequence from the first season really excited me back in the day. The music, narration, and poses from the angels in the clips.....Great stuff.
Have to agree on this point. The plots were pretty simplistic. Only reason I watched was that I loved Kate Jackson from The Rookies and I'd pretty much watch anything that she was in. Farrah had been around for years but no one really knew who she was until this show. Not a Jaclyn Smith fan, neither of her looks or acting. Many shows are very much of their time, especially 70s shows, and this is definitely one of them.jimmyjet said:i dont think it was ever thought of as being a good show, or good acting. it was more of a "baywatch" type of show - if you show enough pretty girls, at least the guys will tune in !!
I'm up to E5 of S2 and it's a LOT better so far. I like Kris much better than Jill; I actually have class with a woman who looks almost like Kris. To have Phil Silvers and Jim Backus as guest stars on the 2-parter "Angels on Ice" was worth the price of admission alone. S2 seems to be better quality wise than S1 was on picture quality and the menus look more professional.Tooncy said:The first and last seasons were by far the worst if you ask me. Season two is probably the best, although it's not without a few duds.
S2 is VERY tame compared to S1 thus farTooncy said:Season one has almost a grindhouse look compared to season two.
Me too. They are airing on COZI (an NBC/Universal station) in widescreen, but it doesn't look HD to me.Ron1973 said:I wish this was streaming in HD on Netflix. I remember seeing them in HD on Universal HD a few years back and they looked stunning; crisp color, totally restored.
