Summary: Once Upon a Time, There Were Three Little Girls..........
Review: It's great to have this 5-disc complete first season compilation on DVD. Although no one will confuse Charlie's Angels with "quality" television (this show was never meant to be taken seriously), this campy series is just plain fun, even 27 years later. Most episodes are light on plotline but the appeal of it's three stars make up for that. Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors and Jaclyn Smith have a chemistry unmatched by any of the future Angel pairings. Season One contains the series most "infamous" episode, "Angels in Chains." Every single "women in prison" cliche is here......the brutal prison matrons, the leacherous sheriff and deputy, the crooked warden and of course the obligatory shower scene. This is probably the highlight of the season. This DVD collection gets high marks for including the original movie pilot. Although the pilot movie is just average, I haven't seen it since it first aired, so it was a nice bonus. Although Jaclyn Smith is featured prominently in the pilot, it was meant to be a showcase for Kate Jackson. Kate (for whom the series was created) was originally supposed to play Kelly Garrett but decided to play Sabrina at the last minute, thus Jaclyn Smith gets most of the screen time in the movie.
Unfortunately, the pilot movie is the best that can be said about the extras in the DVD collection. It also contains a rather dull featurette called "Angels Forever" which consists of a lot of geeky fans reminiscing about the series. TV Land and the E network had much better features about the series. Alas none of the stars are featured offering their thoughts on the series. The DVD also does not contain chapter selections for each episode, which is rather irritating. The packaging of the collection is certainly sparse as well. Each disc is contained in a flimsy plastic cover. Hopefully Sony Entertainment will correct these issues in future seasons.
I suspect the appeal of this series lies predominantly with those of us who remember when it first aired in the 1970s. Today, it's hard to believe this innocent, cheesey little show caused as much controversy as it did. It's nice to see that Chucky's girls are still fun to watch after all these years.

Summary: Excellent job, Angels!
Review: I really am enjoying this DVD set. It's nice to see the episodes crisp, clear, uncut, and in stereo. I agree that the packaging could've been better. THe plastic cases the DVDs come in do seem flimsy, and I wish there were interviews with the stars and crew, as well as chapter selections for each episode. Aside from that, it's great. For anyone who loves 70s pop culture like I do, this is a real treat.

Summary: "It's Charlie Angels, Time To Go To Work!"
Review: 5 stars go to the series, and the original ANGELS ... but the
packaging gets 2 stars. How could they package this great tv
show so cheaply? But despite this only flaw, it is awesome we
can see the entire first season unedited, crisp & clear. The
original Angels, Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith
were trully heavenly ... and although the other replacement
Angels were great too (I love Cheryl Ladd), the magic and the
chemistry of the original three cannot be beat. Im looking forward to see the other seasons released on DVD ... lets just
hope the packaging gets better.........bye Angels!!!

Summary: Angels on the brain
Review: It is an extremely great pleasure to have the first season of Charlie's Angels on DVD. I have already spent an entire weekend with the Angels, and loved reliving what constitutes a formidable and formative aspect of my wasted youth. The funny thing is, the episodes are not all that great when viewed back-to-back -- I had no idea there were that many file cabinets in the entire world that needed to be unlocked by those magic, angelic fingers. I was also surprised at how deathly slow the pilot is. I remember it being a lot quicker and sharper. However, Jaclyn Smith is a joy here in what is mostly a solo outing. In fact, Smith comes out the best of all three Angels in this collection -- Farrah Fawcett-Majors is a known quantity and we all know Kate Jackson is much better than the material, which she proves episode after episode. But Smith's performances have surprising nuance and lend considerable scope to showcase her talents. I was surprised how easily she moves from elegant grace to hometown girl to edgy worldweariness. She plays a busty bubblehead for a few scenes in "Hellride" that approaches comic genius, and her turn as a giggly starlet in "Dirty Business" is just as good. She is at her best as a husky-voiced shakedown artist, but she truly gains my love when she belts an Amazon Scandanavian in the guts at the climax of "The Killing Kind" and gives an over-the-shoulder cynical purr that is devastating. The producers were right to choose that scene to run in the opening credits of every episode. Who puts out a DVD in this day and age without subtitles? Not that the dialogue is overly complex or the sound overwhelming, but come on! The one (1) extra on this set leaves a lot to be desired: a "documentary" featuring none-too-masculine boys (re)living their prepubescence and none-too-feminine girls expressing their nascient feminism. I didn't expect audio commentary, but I expected more than this hagiography of fandom. Of which I too stand guilty, of course. Hopefully, the next time round, more people actually involved in the show will have something to say.

Summary: At Last It's Here, But....
Review: Yes, it has arrived: CHARLIE'S ANGELS on DVD! I am happy that the pilot movie for the series was included as well as a retrospective special. But this is where the joy ends, everyone. I won't automatically award 5 stars for this box set just because it's available. When I read that the episodes had been digitally remastered, I expected a good picture. Instead, each episode looks as though it could have been taped off of TV Land. Apparently, there have been no improvements made. Big disappointment! More care should have been taken to restore such a classic show, especially before a DVD release. The packaging is awful too - flimsy, bare plastic DVD cases, and only a brief fold-out containing the episode credits. It's better than nothing, but disappointing for sure. But since CHARLIE'S ANGELS is here, if only we also had WONDER WOMAN, and THE BIONIC WOMAN as well!!
