This show obviously doesn't need any introduction and just by reading the title alone, the theme song is probably flooding through your head.

I've watched a couple of episodes in the past and just wanted to know if anyone here enjoyed the series or watched it in it's original run or syndication. I know during the time of it's run too many people didn't take it seriously due to the producers need to have the Angels in the tightest, skimpiest outfits while completing missions but as regular viewers, what did you all enjoy about the show? Who was your favorite Angel?

I'm going to start watching more episodes to pass some free time. Feel free to discuss!

I liked the show, but once the rotating “angels” started it was like, meh. I think Farrah was overrated and preferred Cheryl Ladd.

Charlie's Angels, Bionic Woman & Wonder Woman were my go to as a Kid!! Like the Original EnVogue, The Original Cast will always be the Angels, even though I did like Khris. I even had the dolls!

I had Kris and I think Jill(?), I knew I had a Burnette

I agree that Farrah was overrated. I like Jacyln Smith. Cheryl did a good job of picking up where Farrah left.

Yeah, when they brought in Hack and Roberts (RIP) it lost it's luster.

Aww you guys....I liked "Jill". :disappointed

Jacyln/Kelly you know how much I liked her? When Kmart carried her line of clothes, I actually bought her sweater. (This was when celebs of the past was getting fashion deals).

No lie, haven't worn it for years but it still holds, the zipper actually set of the metal detector at JFK when was flying to NC!

Farrah (Jill) is absolutely gorgeous but Jacyln(Kelly) is so captivating on screen. Plus blondes have always been overhyped, especially in the 70s. I hear her line is at Sears and Kmart. Unfortunately both of those shut down where I live but I do remember her clothing line vaguely.

Me too. Cheryl Ladd is often overlooked which is a shame since she was on the show for 4 years of the 5 year run. And she was a great character.

I remember watching reruns of the show on Saturday afternoons growing up. Good fun. As a kid, I didn't get the whole "jiggle" controversy; I just saw a bunch of women who were kicking ass while not being afraid to proudly flaunt their femininity at the same time.

Jaclyn and Cheryl still look good.

I was a very young child during its original run but Charlie's Angels was must see tv in our house (I'm the youngest of 3 girls).

I don't see too many people here talking about Kate Jackson. The more episodes I watch with her in the trio, the more I like Sabrina's character. I know she's often overlooked since she's not a bombshell like Farrah(Jill) or Jaclyn (Kelly) but she's beautiful in her own right and she really holds the group together. Sabrina is the brainy one. Too bad most of society thinks a woman can't have both brains and beauty.

I've actually seen the opposite. It's Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts who are overlooked. I've seen many people talk about Kate Jackson. Cheryl Ladd was very popular and on the show for 4 years, yet she is always overlooked.

From what I heard from critics and producers, Shelly Hack wasn't too memorable because of her wooden acting. Most people knew her as a model and the Charlie by Revlon commercials. She great in publicity shoots and wearing the fashion but couldn't come across as convincing on camera. I haven't seen the last season with Tanya Roberts.

What about Cheryl Ladd? The show lasted 5 years and Cheryl Ladd was there for 4 years. She was very popular, but is ignored for some reason.

Unfortunately I think Cheryl's popularity will always be eclipsed by Farrah. After all, she was Jill's little sister. She had big shoes to fill and imo she did it well and apart from Jaclyn was the only other Angel to stay the duration of the show's run.

Sabrina was great, she was smart and I wish that was more encouraged in young women than just being "eye candy".
