  • wiki: link

Throwback Thursday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. “Angels in the Wings” is an unusual episode as much of the time is set aside for song and dance numbers (which are actually quite good) rather than mystery solving. The Angels are called in to investigate a cursed theater after an actress (Shani Wallis) is almost killed by the latest accident on-stage. While there are subplots offered in terms of her estranged son (Nicolas Beauvy) and her ex-husband’s (Gene Barry) gambling debts and unwillingness to do the show, there’s not much of a mystery and much of the Angels’ investigation takes place off-camera.

The new Disney+ sitcom The Villains of Valley feels like a mix of 3rd Rock from the Sun and Fuller House. The opening episode of the series, complete with lame jokes and laugh track, introduces a family of super-villains hiding out in Texas after getting on the wrong side of the League of Villains. In the opener, the family’s mad scientist dad (James Patrick Stuart) makes a dimensional portal gun out of the microwave where his children (Isabella Pappas and Reed Horstmann) accidentally send their land lady’s (Patricia Belcher) happy-go-lucky daughter (Kayden Muller-Janssen). Wackiness, or what settles for wackiness, ensues. Yeesh.
