CHARLIE'S ANGELS on ABC (1976 to 1981). Has it been 50 years since this show was on? I have to admit that I began watching when Cheryl Ladd (Kris Monroe) joined up. She replaced Farrah Fawcett (Jill Monroe) who left the show after the first TV season.
It was a "juggernaut" as the American culture started to change in the mid-1970's. The rise of the women's movement and social issues being tackled on television. There were only 3 major TV networks back then (ABC-CBS-NBC).
"Angels' became a hit because of three women who were not victims to men. Women came to the rescue as private detectives. Albeit beautiful women. Men tuned in for all of that "jiggle."
Paley-fest honors "Charlie's Angels" on their 50th Anniversary.
