Charlie's Angels - Unidentified Flying Angels television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the tale of three beautiful former police officers turned private detectives working for a faceless boss known as Charlie. While on the hunt for a missing woman, the Angels investigate the Celestial Research Foundation which promises their members contact with aliens in “Unidentified Flying Angels.” The scam is run by a con man (Ross Martin) with the help of a disgraced astronaut (Dennis Cole) to help give the company some legitimacy. While Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) strikes up a relationship with the astronaut under the guise of flying lessons, Kris (Cheryl Ladd and Bosley (David Doyle) become the group’s newest members, and Sabrina (Kate Jackson) plays the unusual role of a private detective who gets caught twice by the goons (once on purpose and once where she’ll need Kris’ help to escape).

Although it takes a little while for Batman and Robin and the gang to figure out what is causing the ghost, especially given the large clue that both the bats and Scooby-Doo deliver, eventually the cause of the craziness leads back to the item the group brought into the cave..

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1 comic reviewCollecting the first two digital issues of the new The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1 brings Mystery, Inc. to Gotham City to help Batman with a mystery of who stole the gloves off his first costume from a museum exhibit. While Fred and Daphne look for clues in the present, Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, and Velma travel into the past (something which draws the attention of the younger version of Batman).

The new 12-issue series picks up where Scooby-Doo! Team-Up left off, this time giving us adventures all centered around team-ups with the Caped Crusader. The solution to the mystery is a bit circular as Scooby, Shaggy, and Velma cause the very event they were investigating (and a bit of Bat-hypnosis helps explain why Batman didn’t remember the encounter).
