[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 399156, member: 57984"] Oh, the first season's great -- for what it is and its era. It's the best year of the show. But the program -- and Angie -- are toned down somewhere midway into the second season... Angie got charisma-shamed and, even though the series hit #1 for the week several times during its first year (it was a big hit around the world) there was pressure to suppress her "sexy" and demeaning demeanor. So by the middle of Season 2, she becomes a pleasant, unfocused hostess in her own show, almost a sidekick. She was still on-screen just as much, but they'd stolen her mojo (and, therefore, that of the show). It was frustrating. But the detractors knocked her out of her frequency, nudged her out of her zone. Her performance changes, it's muted and deliberately so. There's still the occasional decent episode after that, but somehow it's just not the same. Angie's mesmerizing blend of coquettish toughness has been largely removed, and she just becomes a nice lady who has a badge and hangs out with the guys because the guys like her well-enough to let her.
