___________________________________________
Almost everything ever written about CHARLIE'S
ANGELS is based on
the first season. Using high levels of
sexuality to draw viewers, Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg switched the pheromone dial to full blast. The character of Charlie Townsend is often heard making sex jokes while in the company of some chesty bikini-clad
vixen. Jill Munroe is a bubbly flirt who likes to go bra-less and wears clothes
with plunging necklines. Kelly Garrett is presented as a passive woman with a
tragic past. Sabrina Duncan poses as the unofficial leader of the trio and heads
most of the investigations. The character of John Bosley is incredibly uppity
and very concerned about the agency's finances. In the pilot film, Bosley is
teamed up with an English gentleman named Scott Woodville who assists the Angels on their first caper. Here, in the first season, viewers are treated to more sex, more cleavage, and (gasp!) erect nipples pushed
against too-tight shirts for the first time ever in the history of TV. Many of
the themes are lined with sexual plots, which gives the creators even more reasons to showcase the figures of the lovely Angels. The 1976/1977 season of CHARLIE'S ANGELS is the model from which all other episodes
are judged.

driving an ugly orange Pinto
for the next three years!

models

Bosley is a tow truck driver
Angel

role, as Kelly, and as Dana Cameron
*Jill proclaims that in her

*Un-amused by the porno film
they are watching, Bosley and the Angels tell Charlie that it is full of sadomasochism
and chains. It isn't!
*The repartee between Kelly
and Sarbrina after leaving Witt's house is quite revealing and unlike anything viewers would ever hear on the show again. Sabrina tells Kelly that if she had not come in when she did, Alec would have "defiled"
her. Kelly then says that she had never heard Sabrina complain about being "defiled"
before! Sabrina states that if Alec looked like Robert Redford she maybe would
have begged for it!!
*If that conversation isn't
strange enough, what about Sabrina's attempt to arrest St. Clair? She pushes
over a hot steaming pot of flames in a room filled with mannequins and costumes, not to mention herself and the other two
Angels!

A mad assassin appears to
be after the Angels, but once Sabrina fakes her own death the team soon learns that Charlie is the real object of a maniac’s rage.
Angel Clues:
*Kelly's love life is presented
as a total mess! She can't commit to a relationship due to her distrust in humanity,
stemming from her being orphaned as a child. We learn that Kelly only had one friend, a now deceased nun named Barbara. The
orphanage Kelly visits is said to have burned down when Kelly was a child in the episode "One Love Two Angels"
*Sabrina has an ex-husband,
one she still dates! His name is Bill Duncan, a police officer who didn't want
his wife to become a private detective in fear of her safety. Bill attends her mock funeral, begging to let him help her on
the case.
*Sabrina's father is the only
Angel parent viewers ever meet, however, Jill and Kris's aunt and uncle are featured in the episode "Angels on Vacation".
*Charlie's address is 674 Vinewood
Lane.
*When Harry Wardlow, the assassin,
is firing at slide show images of the Angels, he has one of Kelly sitting in a
skimpy nightgown. This photo is from their first assignment when Kelly was posing as a missing heiress. How did he get a picture of her like that?
*Tom Selleck appeared
with Farrah Fawcett-Majors in the film, Myra Breckinridge. He would go on to play a hip private eye himself in ‘Magnum
P.I.’
*Note how eerie the close-up
shots of Kelly and Alan are as they romance each other in front of the fire. See
"The Tragedy of Kelly Garrett" for more on this episode!!

Sunday
An old sailor buddy of Charlie’s
hires the Angels to investigate the murder of his journalist daughter who has written a much sought after manuscript on a
major scandal going on at the luxury resort of MoonShadows.
Undercover
Angels:
Kelly plays a fashion photographer
Jill poses as a tennis instructor.
Sabrina poses as a fashion
designer
Bosley is her model!
Angel
Clues:
*Charlie refers to having
been married once & reveals that he is not the "monogamous type". He also
claims that this case came in from his wife, but it would seem that Mr. Anderson is their real client.
*Bosley refers to having a
wife in this episode, one that has packed brown shoes with his black tuxedo! This
"wife" is never mentioned again. Could John Bosley have been so outraged by his
wife's mistake that he divorced her?
*There are more plot holes
in this one episode than any other. In addition to the aforementioned anecdotes
above, Bosley states that Sabrina has wrecked two company cars in one month, but in"Harrigan's Angels" the trio claim that
they own their cars! Also, this case seems to be wrapped up within a matter of
hours. By the time Kelly is getting a vicious massage from Inga, she claims that
the cocktail party at Moonshadows will be held in the "afternoon". Considering
that
Jill and her were
setting up their covers in the morning and Sabrina was doing research,
and they still meet later to discuss the case, what time does this party actually happen?
And it is clearly still daylight out when the Angels make their getaway from Terranova's stables.
*Commenting on the red dress
she wears in this episode, Jaclyn Smith had this to say to TV GUIDE in 1976. "Isn't
it awful? Why would they have me wear a dress like this? Do you think I'll ever have to wear it again?" Sorry, Jaclyn. The producers must have read this quote, for a scene of her in this dress was used
in the opening credits right up into the last episode. It was also featured on
bubble gum card #50 -"One for the Angels".

When Kelly is shot in the
head by Skip, an autistic boy who she has been doing volunteer work with, Sabrina, Jill, and Bosley quickly search for him,
but little do they know that he is being targeted by two bumbling killers.
Angel
Clues:
*Sabrina and Jill wonder
aloud if they'll hear wedding bells for Kelly in the near future. Bosley wonders if he should place an ad for a new Angel! Not
yet, Bosley. Not yet.
*Sabrina makes a stunning
prophecy when she says of her Angel status. "I'm beginning to feel we're an endangered
species". Within in the next five years, three Angels would come and three Angels would go.
*This is the first time Sabrina
shows a deep emotional side to her usually sophisticated self, when she learns Kelly has been shot. Jill keeps calm and holds the situation together.

side to themselves while trying to protect Tony Mann, the publisher of the adult magazine, Feline.
UNDERCOVER
ANGELS:
Kelly stars as a nightclub
singer who lip-synchs "Embraceable You".
Jill poses as a Feline cocktail
waitress
Sabrina poses as Tony Mann's
"geriatric" girlfriend!
ANGEL
CLUES:
*The dress Kelly wears during
her singing number is the same dress Jaclyn wore for the Angels' TIME magazine cover shot.
*This is perhaps the biggest
feminist statement CHARLIE'S ANGELS would ever make. We see Sabrina's distaste
for Tony Mann's Hugh Hefner-like lifestyle, and then we see her almost falling in love with him, as she realizes there may
be more to a male chauvinist pig than meets the eye. Or is it that she has shown him there is more to women than just beautiful
bodies and pretty hair? She later states that women may be the most sexist of
all, since none of the Angels ever considered a female as being the killer. This
prompts Kelly to giggle at the thought of Gloria Steinem drumming" the Angels out of the "corps" for not solving this case!

UNDERCOVER
ANGELS:
Sabrina poses as a nurse
Kelly and Jill are WACK recruits.
ANGEL
CLUES:
*Kelly and Jill are the only
two recruits with long, stylish hair. Take note of this while they practice one-on-one
combat.
*Kelly rants and raves of
how "Charlie Townsend is a no good, sadistic, totally insensitive, male chauvinist pig".
Many of the show's critics and even some of its fans feel this way too.
*L.Q Jones would go onto star
in three more episodes of CHARLIE'S ANGELS. His real name is Justice McQueen, but deemed himself L.Q. Jones when playing a character with the same name in his first
film Battle Cry in 1954. He was featured in over 150 movies and over 700 television
shows.

*This is one of the most important
episodes in Angel history, for it reveals Kelly Garrett's disturbing past as an abused orphan.
*If Charlie's Angels had been
filmed in the 1990s, Charlie would have sent Kelly straight to a psychiatrist after her disturbing revelation at the seance.
Instead, Kelly just reads a book on the human psyche and Beemish is never mentioned again.

ANGEL
CLUES:
*Even though Kelly's car explodes
it will appear throughout the run of the series. To the writer's credit, Hugh Morris buys Kelly an exact replica of her car
because the Angels saved his business from going bankrupt.
*Kelly's license plate number
is 356 CFX.
*It seems that Bosley's concern
for Kelly's life is less than that of her car and the rental car, for he fears Charlie will blame him for their high insurance
premiums. In a future episode "Harrigan's Angels", the trio claim that the cars belong to them and are not company vehicles,
but it seems that Townsend Associates pays for their insurance.
*It is never explained how

*We learn in this episode
that Jill is not just a bouncy California blonde. Her sadness at setting up Jericho is sincere. This is only the second
time Jill shows a real sensitive side during the first season (also in "Night of the Strangler"). Upon her future visits,
Jill would be more emotional
