Charlie's Angels was a five-season, 110-episode American crime drama television series that aired on ABC between September 1976 and June 1981. Aaron Spelling produced the series, which was co-created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts. It initially starred Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, and Jaclyn Smith as three female detectives working in a private detective firm in Los Angeles, California. The three women's sidekick was portrayed by David Doyle, while their boss was played by John Forsythe. Cheryl Ladd, who joined the cast in season two, Shelley Hack, who joined in season four, and Tanya Roberts, who joined in season five, were later additions to the cast. Despite conflicting critical reviews and a reputation as "Jiggle TV," the show was a top ten smash for its first few seasons. The program ended its five-year run in the spring of 1981, as additional cast changes were not well-received and the public's tastes had shifted. Because of syndication, DVD releases, and subsequent film remakes, the series has maintained a cult and pop cultural following.
