The only reason Sony's other properties of CHARLIE'S ANGELS have failed miserably is that they have not been able to understand what made the 70's show really work.
In the original show, the girls were depicted as three little girls who joins the police academy and then chosen by Charlie to work for his agency. They were not Lara Croft or Black widow who would kick several men in one go (just like the movies and 2011's TV reboot) yes, they knew self defence but that was shown in a very appropiate manner, they would even use props to fight the bad guys,
also the thing that clicked were the situations that they used to get themselves trouble in, watching them getting out of those was really fun.
But after the series ended, they just took the whole idea of the show in a wrong manner, the girls were shown off kicking butt, using high-tech gadgets and showing more cleavage than required. Obviously this wouldn't have work.
and for those who don't knw Sony even produced a TV show called C.A.T.S. which used to air in 2001 starring Kuljeet Randhawa and Nafisa Joseph and Raaz fame malini sharma. kuljeet and nafisa are no more.
