Back in the days, I bought a TV with my very first paycheque. OK. It was a Pocketvision. You carry it around like a transistor radio. Before the death of analog, it used to mean I could always catch stuff on it, whenever cable went out, like during the blackout of 2003 or we were down to one TV. Aside from being a cool gadget, it had great sound and picture quality for 3 inches of screen. Today, it may be obsolete, but I still catch American shows on Canadian networks. Less conflicts that way. With the economy the way it is, I find it hard to give up full cable. But times were so much easier when there were less channels. There are so many shows now, I couldn't tell you what came and went anymore.
In the past decade, I came across some interesting short-lived series. Let's see if anyone can remember these without looking them up?
- In the near future, a law firm handles difficult cases that reflect the time.
- Three New York couples find their lives becoming intertwined with one another, while living in the same apartment building.
- A cursed revolver brings violence to a variety of owners in the American west.
Charlie's Angels - Episode 1.05 - Angels in Paradise
Coolest stunt scene ever. The old series featured the Ford Mustangs, so there were a lot more car chases. Firing a weapon from a horseback has to be pretty awesome.
And then something you never expect to hear in the other incarnations...
"Charles Townsend has an agenda."
We are never going to know what that means.
