Charlie’s Angels and its cast was a phenomenon in the 1970s. The TV series ran for five seasons from 1976-1981. It was produced by Aaron Spelling, who also created hits such as The Love Boat, Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, and Melrose Place.
The show was immensely popular with viewers but got mixed reviews from critics. Some called it “Jiggle TV” because it emphasized the sex appeal of its female cast.

19 years ago, Charlie’s Angels hit the big screen and I absolutely loved that movie, three years later they followed it up with Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and to put it bluntly the movie sucked. Now that the movie is in the hands of Elizabeth Banks, will she be able to do a better job than what we saw in the last film?
First of all, the Townsend Agency has existed for over 40 years. The Angels you may have watched in the 1976 TV series with Jill, Sabrina, & Kelly to the two films with Dylan, Natalie, & Alex have all happened. Banks has said “Charlie’s Angels was the beginning of female empowerment on TV. So, when we started the process of continuing Charlie’s Angels, we wanted to incorporate everything that had come before.”
The organization has grown to become an international agency with John Bosley (Patrick Stewart) being the first man who has...

Most reboots are meaningless (time to rev that franchise back up!). But the new “Charlie’s Angels,” whether it turns out to be a glittering hit or the latest expensive package to get tossed by the audience onto the trash heap of franchise fatigue, feels like a generational rite of passage. The original “Charlie’s Angels,” which premiered in 1976, was a cheeseball ABC-tv sensation that featured the novelty of a trio of female action crime fighters — but the hook was the look, especially Farrah Fawcett’s erotic-waterfall hair, which became an ultimate icon of ’70s eye candy. At the movies 25 years later, “Charlie’s Angels” (2000) and “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” (2003) crystallized the vanguard of a woman-action-heroine revolution, but the trick of the two movies — and the source of their considerable confectionary pizzazz — is that Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu came on as pinwheeling invincibles who liked playing dress-up.

Sony Pictures has debuted the first trailer for its upcoming fall tentpole “Charlie’s Angels,” and it surely doesn’t disappoint on delivering super-spy action and the franchise’s trademark quips. The action-comedy is the latest directorial effort from Elizabeth Banks, who made her debut behind the camera with “Pitch Perfect 2.” The last time “Charlie’s Angels” graced the big screen was in 2003’s “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,” starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu. Banks’ new film casts Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska in the title roles.
The official synopsis from Sony Pictures reads: “Charlie’s Angels have always provided security and investigative skills to private clients, and now the Townsend Agency has expanded internationally with multiple teams of Angels guided by multiple Bosleys [David Doyle’s John Bosley was the handler for the Angels on the original series that ran from 1976 to 1981] taking...
