Robert Loggia plays a bad guy out to get all the Angels for testifying against him and sending him up the river.
Since they are targets, Charlie decides the Angels need assistance. Enter Toni (Antonia, Barbara Stanwyck) and her "boys," three studs who apparently have skills beyond their smiles. It's a pilot for a possible series.
Rule of thumb: pilot episodes within mother shows are usually pretty dire. Catch the last couple of episodes of "Green Acres," a phenominal show that in its dying gasps tried out two really lousy, unfunny pilots for sitcoms.
Allegedly an inversion of "Charlie's Angels," it shows how quickly they forget. Sure, Kate, Jaclyn and Farrah were cute when the series started, but they were also personable.
I'm no judge of beefcake, but if I were a woman and these three stooges were presented to me as someone to tickle my libido, I'd be offended. "Charlie's Angels" are personalities and these guys are names. Maybe that's all women want, but I prefer personalities.
Stanwyck (a stalwart since the Studio days in movies: she made some classics) then proceeds to ignite one of the most ham-handed plots I've seen, that gets all the Angels kidnapped. Is she on the bad guy's payroll?
Once the Angels are in his power, rather than shooting them the bad guy dredges up a plot right out of Edgar Allen Poe. Are the Angels worried? Well, if they're not worried by their fate they should sweat a few bullets over the fear that those three bland nincompoops are all they have to rescue them.
Whoever commissioned and wrote this episode should be sealed up behind bricks to think over their crimes against humanity.
