CHARLIE’S ANGELS follows three sexy, female private detectives – roles originated by Kate Jackson (TV’s “The Rookies”), Farrah Fawcett (TV’s “The Burning Bed”) and Jaclyn Smith (TV’s “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 (TV’s “Las Vegas”), Shelley Hack (TV’s “Jack and Mike”) and Tanya Roberts (TV’s “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.
Executive produced by Aaron Spelling (TV’s “Beverly Hills, 90210,” TV’s “Melrose Place,” TV’s “Charmed”) and Leonard Goldberg (WarGames, TV’s “Fantasy Island,” TV’s “Starsky and Hutch”), CHARLIE’S ANGELS premiered in 1976. The show was an immediate hit, and continued to entertain viewers for five full seasons. The series played host to a number of well-known actors including

Synopsis
Once upon a time there were three little girls who went to work for a mysterious man they never got to see named Charles Townsend at his Beverly Hills detective agency. And they became the sexiest, eye-popping, crime-stopping private eyes to ever grace TV.
On September 22, 1976, “Charlie’s Angels” premiered, making Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith overnight superstars. The series continued for five unforgettable seasons and included four different sets of Angels. When Fawcett left after the first season (she returned in the third and fourth seasons as a guest star over six episodes), she was replaced by Cheryl Ladd who played her little sister. The fourth season introduced new Angel, Shelley Hack, who replaced Jackson, and in the fifth season, we met the final Angel, Tanya Roberts, who replaced Hack. The show co-starred David Doyle as John Bosley and was produced by TV legends Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg.
