Charlie's Angels (TV series)

Charlie's Angels was an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from 1976 to 1981. The series was about three female detectives who worked for a survey company, called Charles Townsend Agency. The boss of the three women, Charlie (with the voice of John Forsythe), is rarely seen in the series, and when he comes into the picture, only to see his back.

The three original "angels" were Sabrina Duncan (played by Kate Jackson), Jill Monroe (Farrah Fawcett) and Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith). Trained as police cops, but dissatisfied with the "very dangerous" chores they must renovate (mainly Administrative work, manning the telephone exchange and act as traffic police sergeant), the ladies made the transition to the private sector.

The cast of the series varied: after the first season left the Agency Jill Monroe, but her sister Kris (played by Cheryl Ladd) took her place in the team in. In the following seasons, there were still some guest appearances for Fawcett to play. At the end of the third season, Sabrina Duncan do other work. She was succeeded by Tiffany Welles (Shelley Hack), a former policewoman from Boston. When he went back to her home town a year later, she was in turn succeeded by Photo model Julie Rogers (Tanya Roberts) – the only angel who had no training to the police school. Jaclyn Smith was the longest seen in the series: they joined to the end of the fifth (and final) season. Also their male colleague John Bosley (David Doyle) did all five seasons.

The series was Jiggle TV regularly or T & A TV (Tits and Ass television) named because of the provocative clothing style. This, however, heard at the characters of the series, because thanks to their beauty they got to many issues to solve.

After the original series was broadcast in 1989 a new version. In 2002, a German version of Charlie's Angels created. The first season was well received, but the second season less and the series was also much too expensive, so that in 2005 the series was stopped. In 2011, with a new series started. The angels have other backgrounds in this series and the series does not play in Los Angeles but in Miami. Though are some episodes based on episodes of the original series. The series was very poorly received and already after a few broadcasts stopped.

In 2000, based on the series appeared a feature film of the same name that was so successful that in 2003 still a movie came out: Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. In this last film was a cameo for Jaclyn Smith to play. Next to the movie came out a few video games that year with the name Charlie's Angels.
