“Good Morning, Charlie!”…. “Good riddance, Angels.” I saw this one coming a mile away. Despite the fact that it’s already a known concept/brand, I had absolutely no interest in watching this show, and apparently most others felt the same. Good remakes are hard to do. I feel like that is especially true in television and a very risky venture.
The day after ABC announces that they’ve order full seasons of “Suburgatory” and “Revenge,” they announce that they are cancelling “Charlie’s Angels“. The show, starring Minka Kelly, Rachael Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh, premiered with a viewership of 8.7 million. As the season continued, the viewers started to drop off quite a bit and on its episode on October 6th, only 5.9 million viewers tuned in. There is no word on what the show’s replacement will be as of yet.
Charlie’s Angel’s now joins NBC’s The Playboy Club and Free Agents, as well as CBS’ How to Be a Gentleman and the CW’s reality/hidden camera show H8R as the newcomers to get tossed out this fall TV season.
Any thoughts on who the next victim will be?

I agree. It was definitely getting better. Hopefully, it can still be saved. Hopefully next week people tune in. Anything is possible.

the concept is soooo overplayed and cliche…..they needed to reinvent the brand into something hard hitting and gritty instead of the same old campy stick.

I never thought it would end on the fourth episode… I thought the fourth episode would be the second ratings desperation episode, as in the usual bikini episode, one-of-their-number-has-been-taken-to-become-a-sex-slave-episode, bad-guys-steal-a-weapon-powerful-enough-to-turn-north-america-into-guacamole-and-bean-dip-and-are-hiding-it-in-a strip-club/brothel/supermodel swimsuit shoot. Good riddance. Even if this had been a cinemax version with the angels having sex with guy after guy, it would still have stunk.
