America's guiltiest pleasure of 1976--the inaugural season of Charlie's Angels--has returned in all its jiggly, jolly glory in this tidy boxed set. It's hard to describe just how captivated the nation's media and viewing public were with cheesemeister Aaron Spelling's ABC-TV hit, but for awhile Charlie's Angels was wildly popular appointment television at its most self-consciously banal. The first season's three (and best-remembered) belles--lioness Farrah Fawcett (then Farrah Fawcett-Majors), pin-up babe Jaclyn Smith, and Thinking Man's beauty Kate Jackson--were something like primetime Spice Girls, gracing countless magazine covers and bestselling posters. The idea (even if a fan of the show didn't happen to be a straight male) was that one was compelled to choose a favorite angel as a kind of ink-blot window onto one's subconscious life.
While the 2000 Angels feature film (starring Cameron Diaz, etc.) kept faith with the original show's self-mockingly sloppy storytelling, there's nothing like seeing the old episodes for a lesson in narrative hubris. Basically, the three leading characters were bored policewomen wooed away to a private firm owned and operated by the unseen sybarite, Charlie (voiced--over speakerphone--by an uncredited John Forsythe). After a long set-up each week, the girls' investigations typically saw them going undercover: as fashion models--no great stretch--in "Night of the Strangler"; nurses in "Terror on Ward One"; roller-derby stars in "Angels on Wheels"; and vulnerable convicts (of course) in "Angels In Chains." The exploitation factor is not as bad as it might have been. The cast was so glamorous, their chemistry so perfect, Charlie's Angels never became a mere meat market. Despite such nods to modernity as Fawcett's no-bra look, the episodes were old-fashioned in their heroine-in-peril appeal, yet there was a difference: The Angels looked out for themselves and each other. --Tom Keogh

Sony Pictures, selling Charlie's Angels to MPI Home Video would be a perfect idea for the fans, who have waited 6 years to collect all 5 Seasons of the series on DVD. Please do not say no to my suggestion. MPI Home Video will be willing to re-release the first 3 seasons, and release the 2 remaining seasons with no problems. Please sell Charlie's Angels to MPI Home Video!

Great dvd of all the episodes and the pilot but i'd already taped all this when it came on tv land to promote the 2000 Charlie's Angels movie. There should have been some feature on here, behind the scenes, a documentary, a showcase of some of the famous clothes and where they are now (like if one's on display at Planet Hollywood somewhere) SOMETHING!!!! Even a slide of behind the scenes pictures would be great. Personally, i wanna see the ABC special that the original three introduced and talked ... Read More

Now this, is a groovy classic!
Charlie's Angels helped changed the face of Police Drama and it also helped inspire young and old women to become cops and detectives.
The series was Created by the late Ivan Goff and the late Ben Roberts who also Produced the CBS Sci-Fi Drama Series Logan's Run Starring Gregory Harrison and Heather Menzies Urich and it was also Produced by Leonard Goldberg and the late Aaron Spelling and it is now in the hands of Columbia TriStar and SONY! ...

There is great television that captures the imagination with its complicated characters and plots. Then there are shows like this one that are mindless, fluff entertainment but completely fun in their own cheesy way.
The show focuses on three female police officers who quit their boring police jobs to work for mysterious millionaire Charlie Townsend (voiced by the never really seen John Forsyth). Sabrina (Kate Jackson), Jill (Farrah Fawcett), and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) now work as private ... Read More

This set gives you the original pilot, and all of season 1.
Mike Bell (voice of many cartoon characters in 70s and 80s) appears in two episodes as angel Sabrina Duncan's ex husband Sgt Bill Duncan.
I like Charlie's Angels primarily for the music.
In advancing the feminist movement, the producers failed to create one solid male character in the entire five seasons, for viewers like myself to identify with (Sorry, but Bosley clearly doesn't qualify). The Angels continue to fall in love ... Read More
