PILOT WATCH - GOOD CHRISTIAN BELLES

Ok, there aren't many perfect pilots, but this one is very promising. With glimpses of a young DESPARATE HOUSEWIVES, this show is simply about grown up mean girls. It's wonderful, because we *all* live in a world where grown ups are mean, so the best thing I can say about our lead character, Amanda, is that she is incredibly relatable. Not only that, but television is 90% television is casting, and this is one that cast that is 100% perfect!

Sadly, we have to wait until mid-season, but I am counting the minutes until it airs!

PILOT WATCH - CHARLIE'S ANGEL'S

The show opens with a big sweeping shot of Miami, which sets the stage for the series. Charlie gives his Angel's orders to rescue a 16 year old kidnap victim. The girls get the girl before the end of he teaser. Cut to, Gloria, the Spanish Angel is blown up in her car. Then she's replaced by her loose cannon best friend, who has to avenge Gloria's death and take down a rich Miami child trafficker. The girls wrap up the case and party on a yacht to welcome their new addition.

This is one that I was really rooting for, and was hoping for something amazing. But sadly, it just did not deliver. The script begs for something more in every twist and turn of the story. And overall, this stinker is covered with on the nose dialog, and situations. The girls have zero emotion about their "sister" who is murdered in the teaser, and lacks tension.

In an effort to end on a positive note... the casting is great!
