Enjoyable, once, most likely very close to the actual goings-on in the TV business. Only the gal that played Kate Jackson is a poor look-a-like for the super good looking real Ms. Jackson. Her acting was OK as was most others in the film.
The use of sub-titles to introduce each new character is very good as it helps to keep track of the many TV executives who have large but necessary parts. Music of the 70's running in background is a nice touch and not overdone.
Again, it is worth a early evening viewing but only once: don't bother to tape it.

This made for TV movie was a hoot to watch! The 2 hours just flew by! Nice direction, fun 70's music, and well paced. Kudos for the incredible casting! Christina Chambers as Jaclyn Smith (My Favorite Angel) was so 'dead-on' in appearance and voice, that I had to look twice in some scenes. Lauren Stamile as Kate Jackson had her voice down so perfectly that it was darn right freaky. Tricia Helfer as Farrah Fawcett Majors had the hair and smile, but lacked the shy /giddy personality that I remember.
What could possibly be next?? Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of "Fantasy Island" and "Dynasty"......God help us all!

Well if the Brodcast Networks (ABC,CBS,NBC) are going to make TV movies at all then they should stick to what TV newtworks know best and that of course is TV! Remeber when we only had 7 or 8 tv channels? Remember that if you were watching "Little House" "The Walton's" "dynasty" or "DALLAS" chances were every else was too! Well Remember when TV movies were great (BRIAN'S SONG,BAD RONALD,SALEMS LOT,THE DAY AFTER) well its been years since they gave us something worth talking about. Any how this is a fun look an the creation of the hit show. This also show's Farrah in a positive way. That surprised me. I will not give too much away but lets just say that if your a Pop Culture Junkie you love this! ITS TV JUNK FOOD AT ITS BEST! Take a look!
A very entertaining and well-done portrayal of life behind the scenes of the original Charlies Angels. All the angels did a fantastic job, especially the actress who portrayed Kate Jackson. At times it really seemed like the Farrah Fawcett story. Loved the little details, such as Ricardo Montalbon at Spellings party. Interestingly enough, Jackson left the show a few years later when producers refused to let her take the female lead in "Kramer Vs. Kramer", which led to an Oscar for the then unknown Meryl Streep. But supposedly Jackson went on to become the highest paid woman in television for "Scarecrow and Mrs. King". All and all not bad for fluff.
Did anyone like the soundtrack of this movie as much as I did? Would love to have all the music; that was the best part of this fluffy thing.. I got a kick out of it. Especially the tight-A Lee Majors! Makes Farrah look like a fluff-head too.
