...other day I tuned in, curious to know whether my liberation memories would match up with the actual product, especially now that I have de Beauvoir and Ferraro and riot grrl under my belt. The episode was called Target: Angels. Kelly (Jaclyn Smith), Sabrina (Kate Jackson) and Jill (Farrah Fawcett) are being shot at by an enemy of Charlie's. I am delighted to report that I could see what I once saw. Jill coaches a girls' basketball team; Kelly breaks up with boyfriend Tom Selleck to protect him from gunfire; and when Sabrina's ex-husband tells the women...

Casting dramas, rewrites and on-set tensions have turned Charlie's Angels, which opens Nov. 3, into the most chronicled production since Titanic. The studio has spent around $90 million turning the TV show into a movie (always an iffy investment), but there is good news: ace screenwriter John August (Go) has made a significant contribution to the script, and the eye-popping trailer is exciting audiences. Here's hoping the movie...
