Will I watch it again?  No.

I have no idea why I have this and less of one why I committed myself to watching it.  It's an OK pilot to a TV show (for CBS) that probably wanted to capitalize on the success of CHARLIE'S ANGELS (1976) which was on ABC.  The 70s birthed a slew of exploitation stewardess/nurse pictures so a show like this doesn't seem so far-fetched. As far as a 70s show goes, it's par for the course.  It's harmless and disposable, just like most TV was and is.  It wastes time without offering anything of substance.  It kills an hour and a half of peoples' miserable lives and I guess for that reason alone it probably has some value.  You're better off skipping this and watch BLAZING STEWARDESSES (1975).  That's at least got nudity.  Hell, maybe I should watch that.
