Talk:Charlie's Angels (2011)

WHY?!

Dear god, I saw the trailer and it was HORRIBLE. My eyes can't stop bleeding Excalibur01 21:35, 7 October 2011 (CDT)

TBH, it is not great. Main reason I watched it was out of morbid curiosity and to ID the guns. Come to think of it, they carry guns pretty much all the time, but I think in three episode they have only ever fired one shot at someone, and that hit them in the arm. Still, if it wasn't for this show I never would have heard of the Nemesis Arms Vanquish, which is now probably my favourite take down rifle. --commando552 04:43, 8 October 2011 (CDT)

Oh, you want to see a fine old series being totally destroyed right before your eyes, you need to watch Inspector Gadget or Thunderbirds. Note: You do not need to watch either of these movies. Ever. Evil Tim 09:41, 8 October 2011 (CDT)

Must be me who's on the few who don't mind it. PS, can't find good screencaps of the Berettas in the pilot episode. Ominae 22:22, 8 October 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for adding the HD screencaps, I've only got SD ones. I have some of the berettas, will add them later. --commando552 04:15, 9 October 2011 (CDT)

The show's been cancelled

It's official folks, the show has been shit-canned by ABC only after 3 or 4 episodes. --ThatoneguyJosh 22:10, 14 October 2011 (CDT)

I heard it was terrible. I wonder which TV show on IMFDB had the shortest run. (Mini-series excluded, of course.) --Funkychinaman 23:18, 14 October 2011 (CDT)

I think Bionic Woman is one of the "TV shows with the shortest run" that we have on here (I'm not completely sure, I don't pay much attention to the TV shows category on here). But even then, no one expected this worthless excuse of a TV show reboot to last more than 5 - 10 episodes anyway. And really, which brilliant TV executive decided to wake up one morning and say; "Hey, I got an idea boss! Let's reboot Charlie's Angels! We already fucked Hawaii Five-0 in the ass!" I think this time however, the fans of the original show have gotten the last laugh. I'm glad this show is canned for good. Now all that's left is to can the Hawaii Five-0 reboot (Seriously, that show sucks too), and then to burn both their remains in a fire pit! --ThatoneguyJosh 17:34, 15 October 2011 (CDT)

Bionic Woman lasted eight episodes. According to Wikipedia, Charlie's Angels still has two more episodes in the can, so six episodes might be the new record. I have no problem with reboots as long as they're done well. (Check out the new BSG.) Obviously, the bar is higher if the series was really successful or beloved. --Funkychinaman 17:51, 15 October 2011 (CDT)

Yep, that's the deal with the original Charlie's Angels. The original series was very well done and a beloved television show for viewers back in the day because it showcased women doing things that men usually do. Plus, it had one of their greatest lead actresses in a heroine role; Farrah Fawcett (R.I.P. former angel). But seriously, whoever thought this idea up should have realized that it was doomed to failure from the start. Really, did they not learn their lesson from watching both of the horrible live action Charlie's Angels films?! What made them think that a TV show reboot would be a good idea?! Did they think that it would appease the older fans? Or did they make it for a newer, younger generation of fans? Who knows. All that matters is that this show sucked major donkey bollocks, and I'm glad it's gone from the airwaves for good. --ThatoneguyJosh 06:26, 19 October 2011 (CDT)

I just heard about a sitcom about Hitler (I shit you not) that got cancelled after one episode. BeardedHoplite 10:40, 6 November 2011 (CST)

Oh, yes, I've heard of that. About Hitler living in a flat across the hall from a Jewish family, no less. Evil Tim 10:45, 6 November 2011 (CST)

Actually I kinda like the new Hawaii Five-0. It doesn't have the charm of the old one, but still good. Excalibur01 21:56, 6 November 2011 (CST)

Shortest Television Run on IMFDB

There are probably a few shows on the site that also lasted six episodes. The one that comes to mind is Police Squad!. --Ben41 03:17, 6 November 2011 (CST)

This is going to be at least 7 episodes, so isn't even the joint shortest. --commando552 05:46, 6 November 2011 (CST)

Glock 26's

Just me, or are most of the caps under the Glock 26 header 19's? Also think Abbys Glock 17 is a 19. --Crazycrankle 07:58, 30 August 2012 (CDT)

I think the confusion is the fact that Kate used a two tone 26 in the Pilot, but then I think she changed to the two tone 19 at some point. In my opinion, the only shots that are actually of a 26 are the two promo images, and the cap of Eve holding Kate's gun. --commando552 09:45, 30 August 2012 (CDT)
