Review:

Arriving on DVD today from Mill Creek Entertainment is Charlie's Angels:Season One starring Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith as the three original angels.

The series ran from 1976-1981 with a total of 110, but has been in syndication ever since. It was remade into feature films in the early 2000s starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu. ABC remade the series in 2011 to horrible reviews and was canceled after four episodes.

The original Charlie's Angels didn't exactly get a warm welcoming from critics, but it became popular with viewers. The series follows Sabrina Duncan (played by Kate Jackson), Kelly Garrett (played by Jaclyn Smith) and Jill Munroe (played the late Farrah Fawcett), all of whom have recently graduated police academy, but this is the 70s and they're basically stuck on desk duty that is until Charlie enters their lives.

Sabrina, Kelly and Jill leave the police force to work at the Charles Townsend Agency as private investigators. Though Charlie's voice is only heard through a speaker phone, John Bosley is the one who assigns them the cases.


The episodes on the 4-disc set are:
