A Lesbian Kiss Goodbye for ‘Charlie’s Angels’

“Charlie’s Angels” has performed so poorly for ABC that the show has already gone for the 21st century version of jumping the shark: the lesbian kiss. Just yesterday, Minka Kelly and Rachael Taylor kissed on set, but to no avail — today ABC has shut down production on the series.

A network representative says the show will continue to air on Thursdays, filling the 8 p.m. slot with an unknown number of episodes (four of the show’s eight shot episodes have aired). Last night’s hour showed some ratings growth for the first time, climbing a tenth of a point to 6 million viewers and a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating. But it wasn’t enough to reverse the show’s fate.

Well, yeah. Of course the remaining episodes are going to air. You don’t film Minka Kelly kissing a chick and then NOT air it. That wouldn’t be just bad business, it’s totally not cool, bro.
