Once upon a time there were three women who entered the police academy, graduated and were stuck working lame jobs. Luckily for us, they found adventure and danger working for Charlie’s detective agency. This was the premise of Charlie’s Angels. The show became an immediate hit with Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett as the Angels. They rang the Liberty Bell in 1976 with their brand of Jiggle TV. The three Angels positions were held by six actresses over the course of five seasons. Charlie’s Angels: The Complete Series boxes up all the mysteries for a September 21 release. Here’s the press release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment:
Culver City, Calif.

CHARLIE’S ANGELS follows three sexy, female private detectives – roles originated by Kate Jackson (The Rookies), Farrah Fawcett (The Burning Bed) and Jaclyn Smith (Shear Genius) – as they solve cases assigned by their never-seen-but-heard boss, Charlie, and his liaison John Bosley (David Doyle). Later seasons feature Cheryl Ladd (Las Vegas), Shelley Hack (Jack and Mike) and Tanya Roberts (That ’70s Show). The 27-disc box set features all five seasons, and will include the never-before-released-on-DVD fifth and final season.
