About 
"Love Boat Angels" was so much more than the fourth season premiere of ABC's flagship jiggle show, "Charlie's Angles". It was also mind-numbingly dull.

'Killing Eve' Production Company Fetches Punk Dog Project
Sid Gentle Films, the production company behind BBC America thriller Killing Eve, is working up an adaptation of a graphic novel about a dog and her girl that is set against the street punk scene of Portland, Oregon.
That's an interesting story for a production company to take on, even more so since Sid Gentle is a British company, and the new project is pretty quintessentially American.
The project will be based off of Nicole J. Georges' Fetch: How a Bad Dog Brought Me Home. The production is looking for a writer who can adapt the graphic novel for television screens:
When Nicole Georges was sixteen she adopted Beija, a dysfunctional shar-pei/corgi mix—a troublesome combination of tiny and attack, just like teenaged Nicole herself. For the next fifteen years, Beija would be the one constant in her life. Through depression, relationships gone awry, and an unmoored young adulthood played out against the backdrop of the Portland punk scene, Beija was there, wearing her "Don't Pet Me" bandana.
Georges's gorgeous graphic novel Fetch chronicles their symbiotic, codependent relationship and probes what it means to care for and be responsible to another living thing—a living thing that occasionally lunges at toddlers. Nicole turns to vets, dog whisperers, and even a pet psychic for help, but it is the moments of accommodation, adaption, and compassion that sustain them. Nicole never successfully taught Beija "sit," but in the end, Beija taught Nicole how to stay.
Sid Gentle's founder, Sally Woodward Gentle, was a creative director on Downton Abbey, and founded Sid Gentle in 2013. She helped Phoebe Waller-Bridge bring the distinctively edgy thriller Killing Eve to BBC America.
Speaking to Deadline, Woodward Gentle gushed about Fetch:
"The cover is gorgeous; if you like dogs and like being an outsider, it's the perfect project for you. I like taking things that are all about how outsiders find their people. It's really lovely."
The show will be broadcast in half hour segments, and will tell the story through flashbacks. I'm curious if the show will be live action, or if it will incorporate animation to tell the story.
We'll have more on this story as it develops!
