Prompted from CHBM's Carnival. 'What was your favorite TV show when you were little?'
When I was little, my GOD back in the 70's, I absolutely loved Charlies Angels. I looked up to them. The hair, the outfits, and they were HERO's. They saved people. Imagine that.
I was living in Athens, Greece back then and we didn't get many shows. I think we got the Dukes of Hazard, Love Boat, Fantasy Island and Charlies Angels. That's it. Everything else wasin Greek. Not just 'greek to me' but truly in Greek. Granted I think I understood some of those shows, I really was just riveted to Charlies Angels. I wanted that Farrah Fawcett hair. What was I? Seven? Probably.
Flash forward, I turned out nothing like them. Not skinny. No Farrah Fawcett hair and even though I'm a hero to my boys, hero to anyone else, I am not. No guns. No adventure. No Charlie and no Boz. Dang it. I don't WANT the guns, have enough familial adventure thankyouverymuch, and Charlie and Boz would just boss me around too much. I've grown into someone who cannot STAND to be bossed around. Wouldn't work.
I'll take the skinny though. Skinny I'm not but if someone wants to hand it to me (yeah right), I'll take it :). Till then, Jill (Farrah Fawcett), Sabrina (Kate Jackson), and Kris (Cheryl Ladd), you go girls. It turns out we're nothing alike but you still rock!

I loved that show too! I don't know about heros but I enjoyed it just as much. Flash to the past.
Nothing like girl power!
