She Spies	comment	She Spies was an action/adventure/comedy series that ran in First-Run Syndication from 2002-04. The premise was self-described as "three beautiful ex-cons saving the world on an almost weekly basis."The main characters were three beautiful women (Cassie [Natasha Henstridge], a confidence woman; D.D. [Kristen Miller], a computer hacker; and Shane [Natashia Williams], a burglar), who were released from prison on the terms that they would work for the government as spies.The two seasons were markedly different in tone. The first season (which involved graduates of Moonlighting and Duckman behind the camera) was light-hearted and comedic, with a great deal of tongue-in-cheek humor and exploitation of spy-genre tropes that to the point that the characters were aware of them and constantly doing Lampshade Hanging Breaking the Fourth Wall.The second season, involving producers from Tower 12 Productions, was essentially a series reboot — in the first episode the girls learned that Jack (the equivalent of Bosley in the inevitable Charlie's Angels comparison) had been reassigned, headquarters had been completely remodeled, and their residence had been moved. Basically, the only things remaining unchanged were the general premise and the three lead actresses. The tone of the series changed to a straightforward action/adventure series, with much less of the trademark humor that was the first season's greatest asset. The cast weren't too thrilled at the change and it seems that many fans agreed, as the show didn't survive past the second season.As of 2024, only the first seaon had a DVD release.

She Spies / int_202ce3e0	type	Eat the Bomb
She Spies / int_202ce3e0	comment	Eat the Bomb: In one episode, the Cold Open has the girls captured by a villain gloating about his tiny, but powerful bomb. Cassie then kicks it out of his hand, catches it in her mouth, and swallows it. Since the bomb is heat-activated, the villain is forced to set them free before the bomb warms to Cassie's body temperature and explodes in the middle of his base. The girls run to freedom and the opening credits start to run... only to be shoved off the screen by Cassie complaining that she has just swallowed a live bomb and will not survive through the credits. Once she coughs up the bomb (and kicks it back down into the villain's base where it explodes), she allows the credits to resume where they left off.

She Spies / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: In the episode "Poster Girl," the title character - a disabled little girl called Amy who fronts a charity - is actually an adult woman who ages slowly due to illness and the leader of the con game the charity's a front for. But as Jack tells D.D. after she confronts the "girl," drags her out of her wheelchair and throws her to the ground, "Amy really is disabled"...

Cassie (Natasha Henstridge) turns around and says, "Hey kids, Species is on cable." One of the more famous things about Species was Henstridge's nude scene.

She Spies / int_aff29d6f	comment	Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Our trio, one of two ways: Option A: Shane is the Brawn, her prior sentence was for battery, and was considered the toughest fighter. D.D. was the Brains, being a computer hacker, and Cassie was the Beauty, being a con woman who would frequently have to flirt or seduce men to trick them. Option B: Shane is still the Brawn, see above. Cassie is the Brains, having to outsmart people as a conwoman. D.D. becomes the Beauty, being a non-confrontational goody-two-shoes and something of a Ditz.
