ABC Ends Charlie's Angels

*Guitar_Raph* · 10-17-2011, 09:10 PM

A 6 season hit from 1976-81[, 30 years later, Charlie's Angels ended up lasting a month in 2011.

Just one of the many revivied shows that failed. Other revived failures include...

Melrose Place (2009 CW)
Knight Rider (2008 NBC)
Bionic Woman (2007 NBC)
Mission: Impossible (1988 ABC)
The New Odd Couple (1982 ABC)

Any others that belong in that category?.

I can only hope G3 TMNT doesn't.

The Munsters 80's version.
and wasn't thier a Leave it to beaver in the 80's as well?

*Slap-Happy* · 10-17-2011, 09:32 PM

There was an 80s Munsters?

I had to look too. It ran 3 seasons (73 episode total) though, so it was far from a "lasted a few episodes and then was killed" series like the new Charlies Angel's.

New Leave it to Beaver lasted 4 seasons and had 102 episodes.

Charlie's Angels (2011 ABC) - 4 (5?) Episodes
Melrose Place (2009 CW) - 18 Episodes
Knight Rider (2008 NBC) - 17 Episodes
Bionic Woman (2007 NBC) - 8 Episodes
Mission: Impossible (1988 ABC) - 2 Seasons, 35 Episodes
The New Odd Couple (1982 ABC) - 18 Episodes

What he said. To slow I was typing. NBC is remaking the Munsters as "Edgier and Darker"

*Spitfire* · 10-17-2011, 10:29 PM

This doesn't surprise me at all. It looked horrid in the first trailer I saw from it.

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2011, 10:35 PM

Some others that failed:

"V" based on the V series from the 80's about the alien lizards who come to Earth. Canceled in two seasons.

The Sarah Conner Chronicles could be considered another failure, given it wasn't supposed to end what it did.

TMNT- Next Mutation????? 1 Season???? Definately a let down when compared to the OT

WHAT? I've NEVER heard of those!
I heard Munsters was coming this year, but ...i've not seen anything about it since the announcement. maybe it will be a winter switch (mid-season)

this sux about Charlie's Angels. All i want to do is see hot women and explosions...and on the same program. What other show has that right now? I guess it will be replaced by some emo show about glittery vampires.

TMNT is very popular, considering people are still devoted to the franchise. I see people in my college wear shirts or accessories of the turtles on certain days. I can't escape it. So far, I think the new Thundercats series is doing very well. So I have no doubt that 2k12 (or G3) TMNT will be golden!

Falconhood · 10-18-2011, 06:45 PM

Golly-Gee, the show really DID exist!?!?!?

...there must be a change in the timeline that didn't affect me. A cat just walked by my door twice, deja-vu...i'm baffled.

*pannoni1* · 10-19-2011, 02:18 PM

Meanwhile, the current Hawaii 5-0 is now in its third season on CBS, respectable for a classic show. I've literally just seen a couple episodes. Thursday Night is also known for being NBC's big night of comedy programming. It was simply poor performance, poor plots, poor actresses, that gave it the boot, and I suspect Farrah Fawcett must be rolling in her grave. I feel this will hurt Charlie's Angels original legacy to the younger fans. Fortunately cartoons last at least a full season (there are exceptions), and I hope TMNT's reception will improve.

*Bauer536* · 10-21-2011, 07:38 AM

It's funny that this series of Charlie's Angels was a flop. The past movies with Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore did well. Why all of a sudden was this series not working out? I'm guessing it was because of the cast, and that Charlie's Angels wasn't appealing to this generation. I mean, Charlie's Angels is not TMNT.

*shuriken* · 10-26-2011, 01:58 PM

^^ It failed because it wasn't Cameron Diaz Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. At least they were semi interesting.

Kids in your college wearing ironic Hot Topic shirts won't be the deciding factor on whether the new TMNT is successful or not.
