Season Five/Angelic Heaven Fan Site Presents

Season Five was fueled by the hope that a new Angel would pull the show out of its ratings slump. Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg wanted to go with a fresh new image. After careful consideration, they decided to hire virtually unknown actress, Tanya Roberts.

This time around, the character would be a model-turned-detective, Julie Rogers. The new Angel showed her face in the three hour season premiere on November 30,1980. High hopes were placed on Charlie's newest Angel to pull the series out its failing ratings. To help give it an added boost, the Angels were sent to Hawaii for the first six episodes. Hawaii wasn't only chosen to intrigue the audience but to keep the Angels scantily clad in swimsuits! Unfortunately, at this point, the audience was no longer keeping up with the Angels antics. The show moved from it's Wednesday time slot, to Sunday, then to Saturday and eventually back to Wednesday nights!

In the world of collectibles, very few items came out during this last season. Japan produced a magazine dedicated to the trio,ABC produced a Tanya Roberts poster to promote the show and Tanya brought out her own "swimsuit" poster. Tanya graced many magazines when it was announced that she was the new Angel in town. She appeared on US, People, and few others. But with the lack of ratings, covers quickly disappeared.

Charlie's Angels finally came to an end on June 24, 1981. After five years on the air, the ground breaking show ended with the episode "Let our Angel Live."
