[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 418617, member: 57984"] There were other issues with Kate, too: she wanted time off to go on a date with Warren Beatty (allegedly) and to co-star in KRAMER VS. KRAMER (a role that went to Meryl Streep, who got an Oscar for it, her first). Nolan Miller was very critical of Jackson's "neurotic" on-set demeanor, pointing out on an '80s daytime talk show, lovingly holding Linda Evans' hand, that although Jackson seems cute sweet on-screen, "she's .... not." Kate herself described her exit from ANGELS as an "I-quit/no-you-can't-quit-you're-fired" scenario. But she's territorial about CHARLIE'S ANGELS, a show she named herself. When Drew Barrymore's reboot movie was released 20-plus years later, Jackson snarked ungenerously on-camera, "But Charlie's Angels aren't in it!!" Years later, even Kate conceded, "I guess I caused them some problems." Anyway, the first season was the best -- the frothy blonde Aquarius in the middle, surrounded by the brunette vampire-beauty of those two Scorpios. I liked Cheryl, and the scandal swirling around Farrah's early exit probably even helped the ratings (it was indeed a huge deal at the time) but the energy of the first year wasn't quite there. And I could never sit through Hack's blanched blandness or Roberts' down-market charms. CHARLIE'S ANGELS was so lightweight that it required a sparkly vivacity the two final Angels couldn't bring it. Plus, it was an Aaron Spelling show. Which are always hard to sit through -- especially after the first two or three years. That said, Kate was probably my favorite. And prettier than sometimes credited.

KRAMER miss out, and I remember Nolan Miller calling her (and Shelley Hack) "fussy" about their wardrobe. Yes, the first season was the best. The show was a media circus at the time. It exploded and was a pop culture phenomenon. Cheryl was a very good replacement, but the chemistry and feeling from that first year was never recaptured. This is a good way to summarize what Hack and Roberts lacked and why they didn't work as an Angel. [/QUOTE]
