Cheryl Ladd Says 'The Charlie's Angels' Reboot "Lacked Heart" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Speaking of evolutions: While speaking with Ladd, we sought out her opinion on ABC’s recent reboot of Charlie’s Angels, an elite club to which she belonged in the late 1970s (famously replacing Farrah Fawcett-Majors). Having seen several episodes of the new incarnation before its cancellation, Ladd says that what it was most missing was heart.

Recalling her own run as an Angel, “You felt like all of us were just crazy about each other, that we would die for each other, that we had a real friendship with each other and cared about each other,” she says. Plus, Ladd notes, whereas Kris, Sabrina, Kelly et all were former policewomen, the new sexy sleuths were “bad girls” trying to turn a new leaf.

“I get that it had to be a fresh version, but it was just so different,” Ladd states. “It was not enough heart and too many explosions.”

I did not watch the remake but no doubt it lacked everything else too,just like most modern tv shows do.I like what Michael Caine said about modern television shows,"they're rubbish,plain and simple,nothing further to discuss about them".

This one reason why I think the remake failed. Who exactly was this show supposed to be for? Since Cheryl Ladd didn't like it, then I doubt that it would've appealed to fans of the original series. And it wasn't exactly set in the same world as the recent Cameron Diaz-Drew Barrymore-Lucy Liu movies. So you weren't exactly going to bring in that audience either.
