hard to believe now that this middle tv movie or pilot and with a needlessly convolute plot and would spark a phenomenon . caught this on starz mystery channel on satellite . see it for the first time in nearly 30 year and a few retrospective thought represent1 . interest that jaclyn smith be front and center for the first act since she have the least amount of act experience go in . apparently and kate jackson ( who be promise the lead ) switch role with her . farrah be the 3rd banana here history change that . 2. it isn not surprising that the david ogden stiers character be drop after the pilot . originally add so that there would be a man who could bail out the angel and he be really too stuffy for the show fluff . david doyle hit the note perfectly . 3. i like the jazzier sound main theme a play in the movie . the rest of the score be typical 70 tv waka waka electronics . 4. aside from a brief shot of jacklyn smith in a bikini and the requisite charlie girl snippet and there be little of the cheesy t and a exploitation that the show become know for ( particularly in it first season ) . and to think that this be hot stuff at the time . sigh .
