More Angelina Jolie's Salt and less Angie Dickinson's Pepper: "These Women Like to Kick Some Tail"

I'm excited to share my story in today's Los Angeles Times' Fall TV Preview section about TV's new ass-kicking chicks--namely Chase star Kelli Giddish and TV's reimagined Nikita, Maggie Q. 

 

Almost as exciting: that they left in my references to Police Woman and Charlie's Angels:

And the 1976-81 series "Charlie's Angels" may return to ABC next spring, reimagined by "Smallville" creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough.

But don't expect your mother's "Police Woman" — pound for pounding, 2010's action grrrls are more Angelina Jolie's lioness Salt than Angie Dickinson's sex kittenish Pepper.

 Angie, babie, it's all about you!

 My, how things have changed for women and law enforcement on the boob tube.
