ABC announced today that they are pulling the plug on their glossy reboot of the 70s hit CHARLIE'S ANGELS. The heavily-marketed show has been underperforming from the get-go when the premiere drew only 8.7 million viewers with a 2.1 rating. However, this decision comes at an ironic moment, as last night's fourth episode saw the ratings climb instead of descend for the first time, up a 10th of a point from the previous episode to 6 million viewers. Apparently that still wasn't good enough for ABC, and CHARLIE'S ANGELS will now join other short-lived shows such as BIONIC WOMAN and KNIGHT RIDER in the failed-TV-reboot hall of fame.
Eight episodes have thus far been filmed, four of which have already aired. The remaining episodes will continue to air on Thursdays at 8pm, but it's unclear as of yet whether production will continue through the original 13-episode order or shut down immediately. Either way, fans have at least four more episodes before they have to say goodbye to their beloved Angels.
CHARLIE'S ANGELS is the fourth show this season to get the axe after NBC's THE PLAYBOY CLUB and FREE AGENTS and CBS's HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN.
How do you feel about CHARLIE'S ANGELS getting canceled?
