EPISODE GUIDE
“Once upon a time, there were three
little girls….”
One of the most beloved shows in television history was born in the steamy hedonism of the mid-'70s. Big hair and big behind-the-scenes drama helped make CHARLIE’S ANGELS an instant cultural phenomenon that shot to the top.
A show that embodied the changing times and--depending on where you stood--provided either the first TV show where women were independent and in charge, or just the first TV show where women were indecently exposed.
The production duo of Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg had already produced numerous hit shows such as THE MOD SQUAD, THE ROOKIES, FAMILY and STARSKY & HUTCH. But the road to television fame and fortune for this series was paved with many obstacles.
As early as 1974, Goldberg had the initial concept for a series that would be an amalgam of THE AVENGERS and HONEY WEST, which he titled ALLEY CATS. The show would feature three beautiful women -- Alley, Lee and Catherine (Al-Lee-Cat) -- who set about solving various crimes of the week.
Actress Kate Jackson had first come to the attention of the two producers when she’d been cast in their 1971 TV movie, Satan’s School For Girls. The next year, when their TV movie, The Rookies, was picked up as a weekly series, Jackson was hired for the role of Jill Danko. When that show was abruptly cancelled, Jackson will still under contract, so this new series was conceived as a star vehicle for her.
ABC initially passed on the idea when Spelling and Goldberg pitched the idea to then-network honchos Barry Diller and Michael Eisner. Actor Robert Wagner would also call it the worst idea [for a series] he'd ever heard when it was later pitched to him.
*** [Wager and then-wife Natalie Wood became financially attached to the series when they agreed to star in a 1974 TV movie called The Affair, which was produced by Spelling-Goldberg Productions. Instead of the hefty salary the mega-couple was used to receiving, the agreement gave the acting couple 10% interest in proposals for five TV shows that Spelling-Goldberg Productions pitched to ABC for the 1974-1975 season. In 2003, Wagner would sue Sony Pictures Entertainment claiming he never received profits from the two Charlie's Angels movies.]
As the concept evolved – with Kate Jackson’s input -- it was decided that the three beauties would be working for a faceless man who only communicates with them via speakerphone.
During a pre-production meeting, Jackson saw a painting of cherubs in Spelling's office and suggested calling the series Harry's Angels. However, it was decided the title be changed due to another show already on the air titled HARRY O. Next, the writing team of Ben Roberts and Ivan Goff would take the concepts discussed and turn them into a script for the 90-minute pilot episode.
With Jackson set as the “smart Angel” Sabrina Duncan, producers had to find two more sexy sleuths. Second to be cast was actress Farrah Fawcett as Jill Munroe the "Athletic Angel". Fawcett had worked on the Spelling-Goldberg produced TV movie Murder On Flight 502 and was well known as the "Bionic Housewife" to husband Lee Majors (of THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN fame).
Finding the third Angel would prove to be a little more daunting. Spelling and Goldberg wanted Jaclyn Smith but network executives felt she didn’t possess the qualities they felt the role needed. Robert Wagner would prove to be her saving grace.
Smith had previously guest starred on his series SWITCH. Wagner was so impressed with the young actress, that he used his influence (as part owner of the series) to get the network to reconsider. Finally, Jaclyn Smith – who originally auditioned for the role of Sabrina -- walked away with the role of Kelly Garrett, the "Streetwise Angel."
Veteran film actor Gig Young was originally hired as the voice of Charlie but the notorious alcoholic was unable to complete his first recording session, so Spelling called upon his long-time friend John Forsythe. For the role of Charlie’s trusted assistant, John Bosley, veteran stage/screen actor David Doyle was hired.
The 90-minute pilot was filmed in late 1975 and aired on March 21, 1976 to extraordinary ratings (receiving a 59% share of the viewing audience). ABC thought this was a Neilson Ratings mistake, so the feature was re-aired, receiving the same high ratings. It wasn’t long before ABC gave the green light for production to begin on a weekly series.
SEASON ONE (1976-77)
The actresses soon found themselves on the cover of major magazines like Time, People and TV Guide. Angel-mania was in full swing. In addition to lunchboxes, t-shirts and magazines, Hasbro Toy Company produced a line of 8” dolls to coincide with all the hoopla. Each doll came in a “bubble dome” attached to a beautifully illustrated card, featuring each actress. Today, these dolls are very sought-after collectibles. Finding them in mint condition and still attached to the card is almost impossible.
Ratings-wise, the show competed its freshman year by ranking number five for the 1976-77 season.
The three women were inundated with tons of fan mail. However, Farrah Fawcett began to surpass her co-stars in popularity, partially due to the "Red Swimsuit" poster (which was released prior to the series) and her blonde mass of hair, which became known as the "Farrah 'do.”
As Fawcett's star started to rise, she began growing tired of the grueling 14-hour days on the set and complained how much less she and Jaclyn Smith were making ($5,000 an episode), compared to Kate Jackson (who was pulling in $10,000 an episode). By the end of season one, Farrah announced her intention to leave the series.
This left Spelling and Goldberg with only one option: they took Fawcett to court for breach of contract. This would prove to be a very surprising court battle. Each actress had initially signed a 5-year contract prior to beginning work on the first season. On Farrah’s end, however, she and the producers had not yet come to an amicable arrangement regarding merchandising rights.
Therefore, Fawcett had gone into season one without a ratified contract. This would be used a leverage against the producers. With one of three Angels flying the coop, the series was left in limbo. Would Farrah Fawcett return or would ABC cancel the series?

SEASON TWO (1977 – 78)
As the court battle continued, the produces and the network both agreed it would be wise to look for a new Angel in the event that Farrah Fawcett would be released from her contract.
One particular actress came to mind: Cheryl Ladd. Best known for providing the singing voice of Melodey on the animated series JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS, she had also worked with Kate Jackson on Satan’s School For Girls and had most recently auditioned for a role on the Spelling-Goldberg series FAMILY (a role she lost to Meredith Baxter-Berney).
When initially offered the role, Ladd declined. The producers then went about auditioning over 250 other women. Future film actress Kim Basinger was the only one who made any sort of impact on the producers (she’d guest starred in the first season episode “Angels In Chains.”) But as impressed as they were, they felt she didn’t have the experience or acting chops to pull off the job.
Once more, Spelling contacted Ladd and asked her to at least meet with him to discuss the possibility of joining the show. Ladd had mistakenly thought that she was wanted as a recast for the role of Jill Monroe. The actress was quite surprised to learn that they wanted her to come aboard as Jill’s younger sister, Kris.
Spelling was finally able to convince Ladd to be the new Angel only after she and the producers agreed that Kris Monroe would be the “rookie" – someone who could be funny and make mistakes. On her first day of filming, Ladd joined Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson on the set of "Circus of Terror."
Hasbro reissued their Sabrina and
Kelly dolls, along with the new Chris doll, with Cheryl Ladd’s likeness
replacing Farrah Fawcett’s on the packaging. Doll outfits and a Van were issued
as accessories for the doll line. In addition, a Colorform Set, Magic Slate and
a Cosmetic Set were introduced.
As for Farrah Fawcett, eventually the lawsuit was settled, with both sides making concessions: Spelling-Goldberg Productions agreed to release Fawcett from her contract with the provision that she make six guest star appearances over the next three seasons.
After the dust settled, the new cast was whisked off to Hawaii to begin filming the season premiere, “Angels In Paradise,” introducing Kris Munroe to the world. The audience took to the new angel and the ratings soared. The series once again finished in fifth place for the year.

SEASON THREE (1978-79)
For the premiere of season three, the Angels took off to Las Vegas with guest star Dean Martin. Farrah Fawcett returned for the first three of her six guest appearances -- all four Angels together at last!
In the meantime, Cheryl Ladd released her self-titled, debut LP. The single "Think It Over" made it into the American Top 40 and went to #1.
On the merchandising front, the Angels kept their heavenly faces on 100's of magazines but Hasbro ceased production of its 8” line of dolls.
As rosy as everything appeared on the surface, there were some undermining problems. Kate Jackson never really took to Cheryl Ladd. While it wasn’t evident on film, behind the camera it proved to be a difficult experience for Ladd, who had a very rough time of things her first season. To tops things off, during summer hiatus from the show, Jackson auditioned for and was offered the lead role in film Kramer vs. Kramer, opposite Dustin Hoffman.
The producers claimed that they could not accommodate her shooting schedule around the show and ABC was afraid that if she took the role, she wouldn't want to return. Since Jackson was unable to accept the part, it went to Meryl Streep.
Having to turn down such a career-altering role formed a wedge between Jackson and the producers. She began publicly criticizing the scripts and the network. The last straw came when Streep won an Oscar™ for her performance in the role that Kate Jackson rightfully felt should have gone to her.
Feeling that she’d fulfilled her obligation to ABC and the series, the actress asked to be released from her contract. Producers obliged without a fight and Sabrina Duncan hung up her wings, making her the second original Angel to leave for greener pastures. The show landed in the number twelve position for the 1978-79 season.
Spelling and Goldberg were forced once again to find a new actress to complete the trio. Finding a suitable replacement would prove to be a difficult task, considering that Jackson had been so instrumental in the creation of the series and served as its "anchor."

SEASON FOUR (1979-80)
Before production began on season four, producers auditioned many actresses for the role of Charlie’s newst Angel, Tiffany Wells. Newcomer Michelle Pfeiffer, Barbara Bach – fresh off her duties as a Bond Girl in The Spy Who Loved Me, Kelly Derek (Bo's sister), Connie Selleca and Shary Belefonte were among those who were in close running to be the newest Angel to join the Townsend Agency.
Shelley Hack – a well-known former model and Revlon "Charlie Girl” girl was hired. Reports indicate that series costume designer, Nolan Miller, almost begged producers to hire Hack, seeing that Miller had been such a fan of hers since her “Charlie Girl” days. Yet gaining the favor of the viewing public was harder than expected. Unlike with Cheryl Ladd, Hack’s character never really took hold.
No reflection on her acting abilities, it didn't help that she was given minimal dialogue and was used as a nothing more than set decoration as the two other Angels went about solving cases. It wasn't until later on in the season that Hack's character actually became involved in the cases. However, by this point, ratings had begun to plummet and Hack's wings were clipped.
Even with numerous photo shoots
featuring the new trio, no new toys were produced. However, a cast poster and
iron-on t-shirt made it to retail. The most sought after items from this season
came from Japan and England, which produced two Roadshow calendars (1980 & 1981)
and the 1981 British Annual.
During this season, Farrah Fawcett returned for her three final appearances. And once again, the search for yet a new Angel was underway. This time, the series finished out the season at number nineteen.

SEASON FIVE (1980-81)
Production on the fifth season was fueled by the hope that a new Angel might possibly jump-start the show’s declining ratings and pump new blood into this one-time hit series. Another round of auditions was held and Tanya Roberts emerged as Charlie’s newest Angel, Julie Rogers.
Roberts was an up-and-coming actress who had recently finished a guest spot on the producers’ series, VEGAS for a possible spin-off, LADIES IN BLUE.
The fifth season saw many changes. Besides having a new Angel, the office temporarily moved to the Hawaiian Islands. For the first time on the series, all three Angels were solving crimes wearing bikinis -- Hawaii never had it so good!
In terms of collectibles, very few items came out during this last season. Japan produced a magazine dedicated to the trio, ABC put out a Tanya Roberts poster to promote the show and she graced many magazine covers such as US and People.
Then came the Screen Actor Guild strike. Production of the series was halted and the Angels joined the picket line. After the strike ended four months later, the series resumed production but the new season of episodes did not premier until November and it appeared that the show had lost its steam.
Jaclyn Smith also made an unsettling – although not unexpected – announcement. Having fulfilled her 5-year obligation to the series, she would not be returning for a sixth season.
Exotic locations and a new night and time slot did not help the show to hold on to an audience. In a last-ditch effort, ABC moved the series to Saturdays but this failed to garner much audience reaction.
By early 1981, ABC decided to place the series on hiatus, awaiting the ratings outcome of the four remaining episodes that had yet to air. Those shows were broadcast on the series’ original Wednesday night time-slot, but the viewing public lost track of the Angels altogether. For the first time, the series dropped below the top thirty. The network decided not renew the series for a sixth season and due to the abrupt cancellation, there was no “farewell” episode.

After the series ended, all six
Angels went on to achieve other career highlights (most notably, the three
originals: Kate Jackson with SCARECROW & MRS. KING, Jaclyn Smith with her
numerous TV movie and mini-series roles, such as RAGE OF ANGELS and Farrah
Fawcett with her Emmy™-nominated role in THE BURNING BED.) But they all will be
best remembered for their angelic roles as part of Charles Townsend's
crime-fighting team.
In the fall of 1981, Charlie's Angels went into syndication. Over the last 20+
years, the show has aired in more than 90 counties and was the first American TV
show to air in Vietnam.
In more recent years, the Angels have had some notable “reunions”:
1990 - Larry King Live
While Jaclyn Smith was being interviewed, Kate Jackson called in and talked with her and Larry on the air.
1992 - The People's Choice Awards
Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd along with John Forsythe gave tribute to Aaron Spelling.
1994 – Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson posed together for a special photo spread in the 20th Anniversary issue of People Magazine.
1998 – Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson got together once again to pay homage to Spelling for the ALL STAR PARTY FOR AARON SPELLING. This was the first time in 20 years that the three actresses had appeared together on TV.
1996 – Cheryl Ladd and David Doyle interviewed on AMERICA AFTER HOURS.
The week of October 30 through November 3, 2000 – Shelly Hack and John Forsythe hosted A&E's Angel Biography Week.

In 1988, Aaron Spelling attempted
to revive the Angels for a new series for the Fox-TV network. To find the cast,
a nation wide search began. It took three months and eleven cities to find the
right actresses for the new show titled ANGELS ’88.
Yet, this series had a different set up from its predecessor. This new entry
focused on four ex-actresses who started their own detective agency when their
television detective series is canceled.
In the nation wide search, Tea
Leoni (who later went on to movie fame and her won short-lived series THE NAKED
TRUTH) was discovered in Boston, MA. She won the role of Bernie Colter. The
other three Angels were LA-based actresses: Claire Yarlette (as Connie Bates),
Sandra Channing (as Pam Ryan) and Karen Kopins (as Trisha Lawrence).
Although there was a huge media frenzy over this newest Angel project, constant
script problems delayed the production and the title was changed to ANGELS ‘89.
The production was further beset by a writers strike, budget concerns and issues
between producers and the network; the project never came to fruition.
Rumors abound that the show never made it past the pre-productions stage, while other rumors claim that a pilot was filmed. Whatever the case may be, these Angels were never given the chance to fly.

In 1999 the Spanish
TV network Telemundo produced this “updated” remake of the classic American
series, using modernized versions of the original storylines.
These three women, all with
dangerous pasts, now fight crime working at Angel Investigations, owned by the
reclusive Charlie. In the not-so-peaceful coastal town of Costa Rosa, these
three beauties, initially had little in common, except a shared desire to bring
criminals to justice. Strong women with special talents and hidden resources,
they are forced to become a team, relying on their wits - and each other - if
they are to survive their deadly adventures.
Against the sun-kissed backdrop of southern California, the series attempted to
shatter Latin feminine stereotypes with a trio of smart, powerful women who know
how to take control of a situation:
Adriana Vega - an undercover chameleon with a talent for disguises and a chip on her shoulder after being thrown off the police force for exposing a band of rogue officers.
Elena Sanchez - a brilliant and elegant computer expert can hack into even the most top secret systems but won't reveal her own true name and identity; hiding from her past under the cover of cyberspace.
Gina Navarro, an ex-cat burglar
as out-spoken and sassy as they come.
Watching out for the angels is the brooding David Bose (Mauricio Mendoza), their
sole link to the never-seen Charlie.
The first season consisted of only thirteen episodes; Telemundo had hoped to
produce a second season but the poor ratings did not warrant such an endeavor.

Angels on the big screen:
2000 – After Spelling-Goldberg Productions sold the movies rights, Columbia/Tri-Star Pictures brought the Angels to the mainstream with the theatrical release of Charlie's Angels.
Not a lame remake of the series, the plot reveals that various Angels have come and gone over the years, but the Charles Townsend Detective Agency continued after the series ended.
The new angels are:
· Dylan Sanders (Drew Barrymore) – the “wild Angel;” gorgeous, reckless, street wise, tough and jaded.
· Natalie Cook (Cameron Diaz) – the “brainy Angel;” beautiful, brainy, determined, and overly analytical.
· Alexis “Alex” Munday (Lucy Liu) – the “sexy Angel;” daring, self-obsessed, with lethal hands (and looks to match).
The movie lingered in development limbo at Sony Entertainment for almost four years before a script was approved and stars signed to the project.
Nearly a dozen writers worked on various script drafts:
John August (Go)
Mitch Glazer (Great Expectations)
Akiva Goldsman (Batman & Robin and Lost in Space)
Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich)
Robert Harling (The First Wives Club)
Zak Penn (Inspector Gadget)
Ryan Rowe (Tapeheads)
Ed Solomon (Men in Black)
Steve Pink and D.V. DeVincentis (co-writers of High Fidelity)
In 1998, it was reported that Michelle Yeho, Jenny McCarty, and Jada Pinkett-Smith were in talks to star as the angelic trio. But it wasn’t until Drew Barrymore -- and her production company, Flower Films -- became interested, that the project took off.
With Barrymore aboard as Dylan, producers quickly signed Cameron Diaz as Natalie. However, casting the third Angel, Alex, proved to be a much harder task.
Many names were attached to the casting of the role: Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, Liv Tyler, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Ashley Judd but Thandie Newton (Beloved, Mission Impossible 2) turned up the winner and was set to join the cast but pulled out of the project shortly thereafter.
Back to only two, there was a mad dash to find a third Angel. After an extensive search that included talks with Jennifer Lopez and Halle Barry, producers were able to nab Lucy Liu – who would be pulling double duty as she had a recurring role on the Fox series, Ally McBeal.
Bill Murray was brought on board as loveable but fumbling Bosley and John Forsythe reprised his role as the voice of Charlie. Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith were offered $1 million each for cameo appearances but all three declined.
Because star-producer Drew Barrymore personally opposed them (and to reflect the more PC time in which we now live) no guns were used by the Angels. Even the infamous silhouette in the Charlie's Angels logo has been updated to reflect the anti-gun theme. The new Angels kick ass using their wiles and their martial arts training.
In their newest case, the Angels are hired to find a kidnapped engineer who owns a cutting edge communications software company. They go deep undercover to track their only lead, and that’s just the beginning of the adventure.

2003 – Columbia/Tri-Star released Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.
The Angels are in hot pursuit of two missing titanium bands, that when connected, emit highly-classified information pertaining to the U.S. Government’s Witness Protection Program. Hot on their trail is Madison Lee (Demi Moore), a former Angel gone bad.
In this newest adventure, the Angels are accompanied by a “new” Bosley (Bernie Mack) and Jaclyn Smith makes a cameo as Kelly Garrett.
