Director McG‘s nonsensical follow up to 2000’s Charlie’s Angels goes bigger and dumber leaning full into cheap gags and T&A at every turn while sticking Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Dylan (Drew Barrymore), and Alex (Lucy Liu) in a plot featuring highly-classified data two random people are just wearing out in public on their fingers, and, eventually, revealing the former Angel Madison Lee (Demi Moore), almost as an afterthought, to be the villain behind the plot.

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, 2000’s big-screen adaption of the late 70s TV show gave us Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu as three talented agents workng for a man named Charlie (voiced by John Forsythe who reprised his role from the series). A massive box office hit, staying at number one for four weeks in a row, Charlie’s Angels took some flack from some critics for aspects of its plot and its cheesecake factor which director McG would lean into even more heavily in the film’s sequel.

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. The Angels are brought in to investigate a series of incidents and attacks on female players in the La Hermosa Women’s Tennis Tournament. Relying on her collegiate experience, Kris (Cheryl Ladd) goes in undercover as one of the players (which apparently had enough withdrawals to allow any unranked player into the tournament) while Sabrina (Kate Jackson) and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) double-up as a fashion designer and model hocking their wares at the club.

Charlie's Angels - Angels on Horseback

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. Murder on a bus on the way to the Sunwest Dude Rach leads the Angels and Bosley (David Doyle) undercover as separate guests at the ranch with Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) playing up the big city girl getting over failed marriage, Sabrina (Kate Jackson) playing up her knowledge of horses as a rodeo rider, and Kris (Cheryl Ladd) who quickly abandons her role as the buttoned up accountant from Iowa. As the title of the episode suggests, it’s mainly an excuse to get the Angels in to western wear and on horseback solving a crime including the climax of Kelly and Chris racing after the killers who have taken Sabrina hostage.

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. Built around guest-star Sammy Davis Jr. playing two roles, both himself and a celebrity lookalike who is mistakenly kidnapped by some of the most inept kidnappers ever captured on film (who include The Karate Kid‘s Martin Kove), “The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper” is a goofy episode even by Charlie’s Angels standards. The Angels are hired to be Davis’ bodyguards after a couple of failed kidnapping attempts leading to them popping up as models in a fashion show, joggers in his neighborhood, and even a local television crew.
