Charlie's Angels: The Complete Second Season has no shortage of the good-natured cheese and eye candy that made the primetime television show's debut season wildly popular in 1976. The Angels had a new look in their second year: Farrah Fawcett, arguably the most popular of the show's three actresses, departed before the sophomore season and was replaced by another blonde dazzler, Cheryl Ladd. (Ladd's character, Kris Munroe, was the younger sister of Fawcett's Jill Munroe, whose exit is explained in the premiere episode as a liberated woman's career move: Jill has decided to race cars in Spain.) No sooner does Kris settle in than a crisis sweeps through off-screen Charlie's private investigation agency. While cavorting on Oahu in the two-part "Angels in Paradise," Charlie is kidnapped by a smuggler (France Nuyen), who demands the Angels break her husband out of jail in exchange for their boss's life. Bubbly Kris, brainy Sabrina Duncan (Kate Jackson), beauteous Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith), and sidekick Bosley (David Doyle) are compelled to soak up rays and sip fruity mixed drinks in Waikiki while fighting crime in various guises, re-establishing, for another season, Charlie's Angels' dramatic and aesthetic game plan for every episode: start slow with lots of idle chatter, put the girls in a ridiculous undercover situation, and get them out of their clothes as much as possible. The pattern continues in the silly "Angels on Ice," starring old hands Phil Silvers and Jim Backus, in which our heroines join an ice show to find out who kidnapped a pair of skaters. "Pretty Angels All in a Row" finds Kelly and Kris reluctant entrants in a "Miss Chrysanthemum Pageant" (no, you won't find Kate Jackson in a swimsuit this year, either) rigged by organized crime. "Circus of Terror," co-starring James Darren, enlists the Angels in the carney life. If there is anything to complain about regarding season 2, it is that the novelty of Charlie's Angels has worn a little thin, and every episode feels the same. Still, there are surprises: "The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper" stars the late rat-packer in peril and much bemused by the presence of three comely bodyguards. --Tom Keogh

"Another Great "Charlie's Angels" Season!" May 9, 2009

"Charlie's Angels" continued to flourish in its second season on ABC despite the loss of Farrah Fawcett. I recall the summer of 1977 when critics said the series would drop in ratings as many believed Farrah was the breakthrough star of the show, so many believed her leaving was suicide for the series. Farrah actually quit the show because her husband Lee Majors, who was starring in "The Six Million Dollar Man", complained that Farrah was never home to cook his meals when he returned from the studio: ludicrous as it sounds it is the God honest truth. Aaron Spelling would eventually sue Farrah to return to the show, but through her agents it was decided she would return for only three episodes in each of the next three years. Cheryl Ladd came aboard as Jill's (Farrah's character), sister. The producers and ABC had nothing to worry about- "Charlie's Angels" continued to be the huge hit as it had been in season one, finishing the year with a 17.8 Nielsen number, and finishing at 4th place for the year, even higher than season 1.
This boxset contains all the episodes from season 2, 26 in all. There are a few that are the syndicated cut shows, but we can't complain: at least we have them for posterity!
Sit back and anjoy the greatest primetime cops and robbers show ever! TV series like "Charlie's Angels" are not made anymore.
Season 3 is also available, with season 4 coming in the summer of 2009.
 More bad episodes than good. May 3, 2009

Charlie's Angels - The Complete Second Season
What can I say I love all of charlies angels episode I watched them
when they were playing in the 70's on tv with my hubby and now I
can watch them whenever I want. We both love this series lots of
action, tough women but not too tough and off course my husband
likes Cheryl Ladd the best he thinks she was pretty sexy. I love the
fact that they didnt have to resort to shooting all the time to
get the job done not too much violence like there is today I like that
Awesome January 11, 2009
