[QUOTE="ChrisSumner, post: 168134, member: 759"] I've seen this show many times, but haven't watched it in a few years. With the new movie (which looks good) coming later this year I decided to do a full rewatch: the original series, the two previous movies and the terrible and horribly cast/written reboot series. With the new film what interests me is that the new creative team seems to be taking them more seriously. It seems funny, but I like that they've described it more as in the vein of Mission Impossible and less slapstick. With the original I'm in season two now. Re-watching I can see a stark difference in seasons one and two. I felt like season one was more of a serious mystery/detective show with comedy when necessary, but season two the stories are a lot more light hearted. In terms of Angels, I love the original trio and while I LOVE Kris, I preferred her with Tiffany or Julie than I did with the trio with Sabrina. I don't think the chemistry completely worked with those three although the show was still very good. I've always been a fan of Shelley Hack and even followed her career post-Angels which actually wasn't too bad. I think she was gorgeous and a good replacement for Sabrina, but the writers didn't give her a shot. I feel like her firing and hearing how poorly she was treated on set is sad because it was still a Top 20 show and I don't think she's the reason things declined. I personally would've kept her on and I think they would've been successful. She had a two hour first episode and it was centered entirely around Kris. Season 4 had the writing style where each episode was centered around one angel. Because of that it was midseason before you even got to really know Tiffany and when we did I feel like those episodes were good. Compare that to Kris or Julie and it's no wonder people didn't like Tiffany. Everybody is going to tune in to meet the new angel, but if she hardly appears what do you expect people to think?
