I purchased this item as it was brand new, never used and much cheaper than buying it retail. Retail prices are typically $45.00 and up. Considering this is my least favorite season, I was not willing to spend that much. The pricing here on ebay was great and well worth it. As a Charlie's Angels fan I had to have this in my collection. Like I said this is my least favorite season. I turned 4 years old on Sept. 22, 1976 when the series debuted (the 2 hour pilot aired in March 1976) so maybe it's just that I was too young to get caught up in Farrah fever. Farrah flirted and giggled her way through her one season (thank goodness). How she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as Jill is beyond me. Farrah's acting was awful then. She has since become a real actress starting with "The Burning Bed". But as an Angel- awful. Kate Jackson was nominated 3 years in a row and lost all 3!! No other Angels were ever nominated for their work on the show. Not even Jaclyn and she deserved a nomination. Season One of Charlie's Angels maybe the most iconic and arguably most beloved. But for me- Cheryl Ladd was a vast improvement over Farrah. Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts remain my favorite Angels. Shelley (and her character Tiffany Welles) were never given a chance to succeed. Bad scripts (seriously- watch season 4 and pay attention. Pure crap minus a few episodes. Bad writing is NOT Shelley's fault), replacing Kate Jackson was a monumental task. I still say no actress would have succeeded. Shelley was still green as an actress in 1979. She has since improved greatly. Maybe it was just to early for her but I enjoy her. Such class and elegance. Wow. And Tanya. What a wildcat!! Red fiery lockes, street tough demeanor and a no-nonsense chick. Loved her. She was exotic with her piercing blue eyes and red hair but not too exotic. Check out her body back then!! Even Cheryl Ladd said at the time (as a joke) "I'm not working with that bitch!!" LOL!! Her acting wasn't great then but again look at the scripts. They're in Hawaii and then bustin moonshiners in the backwoods of Iowa?!! I hail from Iowa folks and even I could not like that episode. That episode was more like "Charlie's Angels meets The Dukes of Hazard". Awful stuff. But not Tanya's fault. The show was a huge hit during the initial 2 seasons. By the end of the 3rd season (just before Kate left) the show had seen a clear decline in the weekly ratings. And even though they finished # 12 overall for that 3rd season- the ratings were declining BEFORE Shelley came aboard for the 4th season. Sony/Columbia has released only the first 3 seasons of thie classic show to date (01/19/07). I hope they release 4 & 5. Even if to the masses they were the worst (I humbly disagree only for the presence of Shelley & Tanya) how can you only release part of a series on dvd? We collectors want the whole thing!! May Tiffany Welles and Julie Rogers live on. Peace.Read full review
I bought this shortly after Farrah Fawcett passed away, and wanted to see her again at her most beautiful and delightful. This set of DVDs is like a guilty pleasure, because it doesn't take a lot of brain power to enjoy the shows - you can just sit back and watch, and veg. The DVDs themselves have been taped quite well, and although they are not HD, the details show up pretty well on my HDTV. I would recommend these to anyone who would like to have 50 minute shows to watch with three very attractive women. Some of the shows are mostly fun, but some are more serious about women's rights, etc.
32 years ago, Charlies Angels showed women that they didn't have to be just wives and mothers - which there is nothing wrong with that, it's the most wonderful job in the world -take it from me - I had 5 of my own and they are as precious as jewels to me. But that was also during a time when parents in my folks generation thought that boys were worth more than girls and it was more important for a boy to get a college education than a girl. I married at 18 - my folks spent what I should have used to finish my college education, 10,000.00 on a wedding for me. When I remember watching that show, even though it may seem to exploit women, it gave a message to girls that they had "options" and that was a wonderful adventure to entertain in our minds. Options for diversification in our lives - we could be anything we wanted.Read full review

Since I wanted to see the entire first season of the Angels, I bought this set. Farrah, Jacqueline and Kate do a fine job of acting. That it was produced in 1976 comes out loud and clear in the clothes, cars and interior decor. That's fun to see. However, the script writing in 1976 was pretty lame. For example, in Girls in Chains, the angels were arrested by the highway patrol and immediately sent to prison. No lawyers, trial, etc. Rather unbelievable. But it's a good trip down memory lane.
This is an awesome SET!!! These tapes really brought back my childhood memories when I was alittle girl and use to not miss an episode...Boy it's really rewarding much different than the shows of today that to me in my opinion could not compare....Hey this is another great Aron Spelling...Charlies Angels will always be an all time favorite
Great condition- Nice to have classic show on DVDs

This was a Fun TV show, it was the beginning of what was called jiggle TV. You can just sit back and enjoy a pleasant evening while the Angels unravel a mystery for you. Let someone else solve the world's problems while you watch three beautiful detectives solve a mystery. You'll find nothing earth shattering here but I hope you'll spend a pleasant evening with the Angels.
