ABC reports it will 'reboot' the classic TV series "Charlie's Angels", hiring writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar ("Smallville") to develop a pilot for a possible mid-season series launch.
The original "Charlie's Angels", airing on ABC, 1976 to 1981, was created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts for producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg, under the working title "The Alley Cats".
Premise of the first episode followed three women who graduate from the Los Angeles police academy only to be assigned duties handling switchboards and directing traffic. 
Quitting the force, they are hired to work for the 'Charles Townsend Agency' as private investigators. Their boss, 'Charlie', is never seen full face, assigning cases to the 'Angels' and his liaison, 'Bosley', via a speaker phone.
Most episodes followed a regular structure whereby a crime is committed; the Angels are given the case details by Charlie and Bosley; the trio go undercover (usually involving something skimpy to wear); towards the end of the episode one of them is uncovered as a crime-fighter and it is a race against time for the others to rescue their friend before they meet some nasty fate.
The final scene inevitably would be back at the Townsend Office with Charlie offering his congratulations for a job well done.
