Charlie's Angels is making history as it also cast Rodriguez as the first latino Bosley as well. The show has never had a non-white lead in its history running on TV or film. The show's fan base has always been diverse, maybe we'll see more diversity on film and TV as well.
The TV series will air on Thursdays at 8pm EST beginning in the fall and will premiere on Thursday, September 22, 2011, the 35th anniversary of the debut of the original Charlies Angels. According to creators of the remake, the characters are said to be real and emotionally grounded, but they still like to have fun, wear great clothes, solve crime, and kick some serious ass. Looks like this will be a whole new generation of Charlie's Angels.
