ThiefHott Too much of everything

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

lois-lane33 I found watching some of these episodes again a mixed experience. Maybe memory makes some things seem like they were more exciting but I seem to remember seeing this show at various times in the past and thinking that it was a more exciting show than average. When I watched it recently it struck me as being a tad on the boring side and some of the characters reactions to things came off as a bit silly. For example Cheryl Ladd's character gets tackled by a bad guy and is virtually defenseless even though the character was supposed to be a trained Police Officer before going to work for Charlie Townsend's agency as one of "Charlie's Angels." There were a few other things like that and one episode in particular stood out because it was like watching a musical from the time of "The Sound of Music." I found that hard going. Maybe some shows remain more watchable than others over the years. This one-in my opinion -didn't age as well as it was expected to. Not unwatchable but nothing awesome either.

BumpyRide For those of you not around for it's original run, Charlie's Angels was not just a hit TV show, it was a phenomenon. Every magazine and rag magazine had a picture of "The Angels" on their covers. Incredibly popular, it all came down to Farrah and her 70's fly away hair, her dazzling toothy smile, her skateboarding pose wearing Addia's, her shampoo, her toothpaste, THE bathing suit poster of the century, and then she was gone. Exiting after only one season Charlie's Angels never was the same again. Bolstered by Jill's kid sister, Kris (Cheryl Ladd) and then others, Charlie's Angels never again climbed to the heights of sheer madness of its first season. Owing its popularity to episodes such as "Angels in Chains" and "Angels on Wheels," it fulfilled many a preadolescence male's fantasy and "Jiggle TV" was born. It may be a period piece today but it was a product of the fun, wacky 1970's that gave it birth.

TxMike Note that I said "memorable", not "best." However, as a 30-something male in the 1970s, my main reason for watching "Charlie's Angels" every week was to see the pretty young ladies in action and danger.My favorite always was Texan Jaclyn Smith, the beautiful model who played Kelly Garrett. I was so taken with her, I could have watched a one-woman show of hers every week. Plus, she turned out to be a dependable actress.My second favorite didn't even start with the series the first year. Shelly Hack, who came on for one year starting in 1979 played Tiffany Welles. She wasn't a particularly good actress, but this model turned actress was my vision of the perfect "girl next door" type. I only wish she had had a more complete career.Of the original three, Kate Jackson as Sabrina Duncan was always good. The more serious of the three, she also played the "smarter" character. The one who arguably got most attention was Farrah Fawcett as Jill Munroe. She even grew up in the neighborhood I now live in, and her parents still reside here. But she just wasn't my type, I guess.I can gladly say each episode was good. They never met "Charlie", but always heard his voice, along with Bosley, over the speaker phone. They always fought the bad guys, they always came out on top. What more could fans ask for??

Troy Herman Charlie's Angels has always been and will continue to be my favorite TV show. A show with females in the lead as detectives? Flipping their hair, wearing fabulous clothes and being desired by men every week? I got it. Okay, now let's get down to the nitty gritty. By far and large most mild or avid "Angels" fans will fight tooth and nail defending seasons 1 - 3. These seasons starred Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors ( as she was known then ), Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd. Get over yourselves. These seasons felt so typical to me. Almost cookie cutter. Farrah ( my least favorite Angel ) was bubbly but in an annoying, nails on a chalk board way. Kate was far too masculine-esqe for the show. I am all for not wanting to be a bikini clad bimbo but c'mon. Cheryl Ladd never really gelled until season 4. With Kate out of there she had more of a chance to shine. Jaclyn Smith grew as an actress and was so gracious, lovely, composed, elegant and focused. Season 4 & 5 introduced my favorite Angels. The cultured, intelligent, tough, classy and gorgeous Shelley Hack ( Tiffany Welles ) and the even tougher, sexy, street raised and and flame-haired Tanya Roberts ( Julie Roberts ). These two are always put down, overly criticized or just plain forgotten. Neither were to blame for the downfall of the series. The show by the end of the 3rd season was down to the Top 30 and slipping. This was before Tiff & Julie joined rank. The shotty, poor, cringe enducing scripts and poor management of the show are to blame. Even Jaclyn and Cheryl have gone on record numerous time defending Shelley. As she seems the most beaten up. Some say she took the show to serious. When in reality it was the opposite. She didn't look at the show with such grandiose ideas like everyone else. Personally, I preferred the class and sass of Shelley & Tanya. They beat the stereo-type of the initial Angels. And also with Tanya the producers finally got the brunette, blonde & red-head they had wanted since the conception of the show. I ask you to take an unbiased look back at seasons 4 - 5. There are many wonderful qualities you may have missed.
