The "Blaxploitation" TV movie pilot of Get Christie Love! (1974) was so well-received that it quickly became the one-hour series _"Get Christie Love!" (1974). By the time the series began, however, Teresa had become so entrenched in her newly-found religion that she made what producers considered unreasonable demands on the set, refusing to do any scenes that violated Biblical scripture. As the sassy, slugging, sexy, super-hip undercover detective, Teresa insisted on not being involved in any sexy or violent scenes, would not do scenes in which her character killed anyone or even lied--difficult as an undercover cop--and would work only until 5:00 p.m. in order to attend her Christian studies. The show barely lasted one season.
