Season One/Angelic Heaven Fan Site Presents

A new show premiered on the ABC network called Charlie's Angels. The series was based on three female detectives who worked for the Charles Townsend Detective Agency. Charlie, who was their anonymous boss, gave them assignments via a speaker phone. The show was based on guns, hair, and make-up. The trio consisted of Sabrina Ducan (Kate Jackson) best known for being the "smart angel," Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett) known as the "athelic angel," and rounding out the team was "street wise" Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith). The Angels worked with their trusty male counter-part, John Bosley, played by David Doyle.

Charlie's Angels was a huge success the moment it hit the airwaves. The Angels found themselves not only on gum cards, doll boxes, puzzles and posters, but they also found themselves on the cover of Time magazine. Suddenly, America was in love with "Angels." Each Wednesday night, around 10 o'clock, women tuned in for the clothing and hair, while men just tuned in.

Being #1 was nothing for the Angels, but it was Farrah Fawcett (then: Majors) who took off like a rocket with her famous "swimsuit" poster, which sold millions of copies! Everyone lusted after that poster, and it appeared everywhere, even in the film Saturday Night Fever. Farrah wasn't happy with the direction her character was going and received countless offers, so decided to leave the series at the end of the first season. Everyone was shocked. The producers, Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg, took Farrah to court for breaking her five year series contract. Although she never returned as a series regular, Farrah guest starred six times over the show's next three years.
