[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 283946, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]My wife and I watched "Dancing in the Dark" a few nights ago (Season 1, Episode 19). It's always been one of my favorite episodes from that inaugural season, and I wanted to share that experience with her. Well... let's just say my wife found the episode cheesy... very cheesy. I won't say she didn't like it, because she herself never voiced that, but she did echo many times how "corny" she thought the episode itself was. She's liked other episodes of CHARLIE'S ANGELS we've watched in the past, but this go-round she just didn't "get it" like she had before. The plot of the episode is quite simple: A dance studio masquerades as a way to scheme wealthy women out of their money. Alexander Cruz (guest star John Van Dreelen) is the owner of the studio, Tony (guest star Dennis Cole) is the womanizing dance instructor, and Schaeffer (guest star Logan Ramsey) is the photographer employed to take indecent pictures of the women the other two men try to sell for profit. A woman comes to Charlie for assistance (guest star Jean Allison), and the Angels and Bosley go undercover to help her get her money back. Kelly replaces Schaeffer as the photographer, Jill gets a job at the dance studio, and Sabrina pretends to be a wacky heiress that will fall victim to the next scheme. Of course, all ends happily as the Angels save the day yet again. It's a typical plot for CHARLIE'S ANGELS, a show quite dependent on its weekly formula. This episode was filled with a lot of cheesiness, which was topped off by Jill's bowling down the bad guy at the bowling alley used as a hideout. My wife laughed out loud when she saw Farrah go for the bowling ball... she knew what was coming. This is what I like about the show: the cheesiness.
