Corsets, Cleavage, Fishnets
By MAUREEN DOWD

The remake of “Charlie’s Angels” that ABC is adding to its fall TV lineup is a masterpiece of subtlety. It takes at least 15 minutes before the three girls get wet.
The “Playboy Club” pilot on NBC’s schedule is also a stirring moment in feminism. Set in mobbed-up Chicago in the ’60s, the script glories in “chasing Bunny tail” and opens panting: “The Door Bunny at the entrance to the Playboy Club. The ears. The tail. The satin. The breasts.” Bunny Janie’s “cleavage could pick up a salt shaker.”
Our leading lady, Maureen, a Cigarette Bunny in corset, fishnets and stilettos, is described this way: “20, Norma Jean before she was Marilyn, an untethered, unconscious sexuality.”
In one scene, naked bunnies cavort in the pool with “men watching them as if at Sea World, only much, much better.”
