Charlie's Angels
"Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy. And they were each assigned very hazardous duties, but I took them all away from all that and now they work for me. My name is Charlie." Aaron Spelling's Charlie's Angels is a crime series that introduced three stunning, sexy and young former policewoman, private detectives working for the Charles Townsend Detective Agency. The wealthy Charlie Townsend, voiced by John Forsythe, was their never-seen boss, who relayed assignments via a speaker telephone. The trio of Angels featured Sabrina Duncan (Kate Jackson), the cool, smart, multilingual leader; Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett-Majors), the athletic angel; and Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith), the street-wise angel. The Angels worked with their trusty male counterpart, John Bosley (David Doyle). Charlie's Angels was a huge success the moment it hit the airwaves in 1976. Numerous cast changes occurred during the show's run, most notably the replacement of Farrah Fawcett-Majors with Cheryl Ladd in 1977.

Angel Flight
aired: Tue, Feb 12, 2008
Two tanks of radioactive gas are stolen; and the tire track of a 1930's automobile is the Angels' only clue. Since there is an antique auto rally being held nearby, it makes sense to go there and see if anybody looks suspicious. Charlie provides Bosley with a Model T Ford so he can enter the competition, and the, three Angels all pretend to be reporters working on stories. The lab analysis indicates that the tire track could have been left by only four of the antique cars. One of these is owned by Mrs. Martha Milton, a middle?aged woman with whom Bosley is immediately on very friendly terms. One of the others, the 1936 Dodge that we recognize as the one used in the crime, is being worked on by two friendly mechanics, Marshall and Hendricks. But watching them as they talk to "reporter" Kris is Greeves, the man who has been driving the Dodge earlier that day. The Angels, knowing when the crime took place, are trying to establish the time when the contestants checked into the rally, since anyone who arrived early in the morning could not be guilty. Greeves is very worried since he knows that his late arrival was covered up by a $500 payment to the official who agreed to doctor the check?in list. He overplays his hand by killing the official in the hope that it will protect his secret. Kris now knows exactly which car the criminals are associated with, but by snooping too much she is captured and forced to ride with Greeves in the race. Realizing where Kris is at the last moment, the other Angels and Bosley jump into the Model T and zoom past the entrance. They are out of the proper order, but just in time to rescue Kris from the back seat of Greeves' getaway car.

Later, Larry is stunned when the men kidnap him at gunpoint, on his way to his wife's singing debut. When he doesn't show up at the rehearsal and remains missing, his wife Sue goes to the Angels for help. While Sabrina and Kelly are talking to Sue in her apartment, the kidnappers come to the door. One of them fires a gun but Sabrina slams the door on his hand, deflecting the shot. The glimpse the men got of Kelly inside the apartment leads them to believe that Kelly is Larry's wife, and now they are after her. Using this to their advantage, the Angels decide to substitute Kelly at the concert to see what the men try to do. Sure enough, Kelly is drugged and kidnapped before she goes on stage and soon learns the mystery behind the kidnapping. The men tossed a brown package containing stolen diamonds into Larry's truck to hide it in the event of a police search when their Cadillac was accidentally hit by another car.

Roclair confides to Sabrina that he hates Mother Goose, and is working for Tony Phelan, a gangster with plans to gain control of the company. With Sabrina tagging along as "partner," Roclair installs secret microphones around the factory, so that Phelan can hear all the latest corporate decisions. It is a simple matter for the Angels to sabotage the saboteurs by changing the location of the microphones. Instead of picking up important conversations in Mother Goose's office, Phelan hears the secretary talking about her flowers. By planing a microphone of their own in Phelan's truck, the Angels pick up all the wire tap communications and hear the gangsters' plans. This mike is especially useful when Phelan's accomplice, Orwell, discovers the identity of Kelly, who had been working with him as a "bugging expert." Orwell forces Kelly at gunpoint to drive the truck into the country, but Bosley and Kris are right behind, listening to every word. In the end, Roclair and Phelan are completely confused.

In the confusion, a booby-?trapped toy cannon in the factory shoots at Roclair and he falls, only from fright, because Kris had stopped up the barrel with bubblegum.

Charlie's Angels must carry out an unusual assignment: three men have stolen a sack of rubies, and when one of them, Murdoch, double?crosses his two partners by escaping with the rubies, the other two hire the Angels to recover the missing jewels. The Angels are not "hired" exactly; Sabrina is forced to put on a belt loaded with explosives, and if the rubies are not recovered within twelve hours, the belt will set off by remote control. The designer of this belt is the one who masterminded the jewel theft, a psychotic electronics wizard named Dinsmore. From the crazy look in his eye, the Angels decide they better do as he says, so Kris and Kelly go out looking for Murdoch. Since Dinsmore shot him in the back as he was running away, they check the hospital first , but after the bullet was removed, Murdoch left in a hurry in order to sell the rubies. Charlie locates two men who helped the crooks steal the gems and who may be of use, if they can be forced to talk. Kris and Kelly leave these two locked in a bathroom naked after getting the information they need, and continue their search. By some excellent acting over the phone, Sabrina makes Dinsmore think that Kris has run off with Murdoch and the rubies, so he and Sabrina head for the airport to stop them. It is part of an elaborate plan to separate Dinsmore from the belt?exploding device, and it calls for Sabrina to dive into a puddle of muddy water where the radio signal won't reach the belt. At least she hopes it doesn't!
