Familiar Faces
NBC, premieres July 20, 2002, 10:00 P.M.
If you need a bigger weekly dose of campy distaff action-adventure than Pamela Anderson and V.I.P. can offer, get ready for the pneumatic crime fighters of She Spies. Leggy Species siren Natasha Henstridge and her costars, Natashia Williams and Kristen Miller, will park their stilletos on NBC's summer schedule for four weeks before high-tailing it to syndication, where exec producer Vince Manze's high-concept hootenanny should fit right in. "I was looking to do Lethal Weapon or Rush Hour with women," explains Manze. To that end, he's got three babes -- D.D., the gorgeous computer hacker (Miller); Shane, the no-nonsense sistah (Williams); and Cassie, the con artist (Henstridge) -- working undercover for a hush-hush government organization. In their first go-round, the girls attempt to infiltrate a hospital charity scam, though it's doubtful the show's target audience -- mouth-breathing males -- will be slobbering over the story lines. "This is just a fun, sit-back-and-be-entertained kinda show," says Henstridge unapologetically. "You don't have to think too hard." Ah, just the way we like it.
