I was quite a fan of Charlie’s Angels when I was a lass; by the time I caught up with it, the program was in syndication, airing Monday through Friday at 4:00pm. I must have seen the entire run of the program at least two or three times, though the years the show ran seemingly contradict this memory, since it was on primetime from 1976 through 1981. I would have started watching it in 1980 or thereabouts, and I’m quite sure at least the final season wasn’t quite ready for syndication so soon after cancellation. But the actual facts of this are lost now, thirty years on. As with so many things, I prefer the classic Charlie’s Angels over every other permutation of the show. This should not surprise anyone.

Please note the two constants throughout the life of the show: Jaclyn Smith and terrible clothing. Of course, David Doyle was also a constant as Bosley, but not in these pictures.

Jaclyn Smith! Kate Jackson! Farrah Fawcett!

Oi, Farrah. You were so beautiful.

And as you were so beautiful, I am the leader of the delayed reaction clan.

Classic hair. Classic jiggle.
Classic hair. Classic jiggle.

is there anyone left who cares about a hairstyle icon?

Yes. Yes, there is. And her name is Mickey “I’m so over MJ’s buying Junior’s Farm*” Glitter, who was much more readily influenced by one season of Farrah Fawcett than the entire library of Michael Jackson from his “Thriller” days and beyond, with the exception of any music he recorded with Sir Paul.

Please note: This does not include Ebony and (fucking) Ivory.

I had these sneakers and wore them every day. I loved them.

*Junior’s Farm references a song recorded by Paul McCartney and Wings in 1974. I still think Paul got the shit end of the stick from his good friend Michael Jackson and this is my way of stating such a thing. Please, leave no comments that it was the Beatles’ body of work MJ bought, not Wings. As far as I know, good ol’ Freaky Mike didn’t buy the Wings library, but if I am wrong about that, please let me know. With backup references.
