Summary: Imagine Sabrina wherever she goes . . .
Review: The second season of Charlie's Angels is interesting at first because it includes the first change in the series' cast. Once you get over that (and it is not lingered upon by the characters), the second season is much more enjoyable than the first, with the Angels involved in some off-the-beaten-track locales (an antique-car rally, a circus, Sammy Davis Jr.'s Hollywood mansion, a football field) and indulging in some good comedy. The cases seem more varied, though, as in season one, each episode involves a change of venue. The Angels, however, have a wider range of undercover assignments; we expect them to play prostitutes, but Jaclyn Smith's pose as an alien, Cheryl Ladd's disguise as a Swedish film star, and Kate Jackson's turns as a bag lady and a farm boy are true surprises. The most successful episodes are those that don't follow the usual Angels pattern; that is, a crime followed by a briefing by Charlie, then off to solve the crime. Consequently, the best episodes include The Sandcastle Murders and Hours of Desperation. Some episodes have great setups (Angel Blues, Angels on the Run) that turn altogether conventional, and some (Angels in the Wings, Angel Flight, Angels in the Backfield) are obvious from beginning to end and are perfectly dreadful as a result. The best episode of the season is the season opener Angels in Paradise, with its many twists and turns, its sumptuous locale, and its well-conceived villainess (played by France Nuyen). The first runner-up is the hilarious Pretty Angels All in a Row. This second season is a showcase for Kate Jackson. Smith, though she does some good work, disappears into the woodwork far too often in this collection. Ladd does some surprisingly good work as well, but Jackson outshines the others in terms of range. She does some outstanding work in Angel in Love, and her French designer disguise in Magic Fire is so obviously bad that it cannot be taken seriously and touches the heights of hilarity. Far more interesting is her come-on to an executive in The Sandcastle Murders -- the writers don't allow us to see how she gets out of what has plainly become a steamy situation, which is unfortunate. She also does the bubble-head routine in Angels in Paradise, a characterization usually reserved for the other Angels. Nobody shakes down a criminal like Sabrina, and immediately following her empty-headed interplay with Mr. Blue, Jackson gets down to business with her customary cool. Though there are no commentaries, no subtitles, and no extras (except for yawningly boring trailers of the Charlie's Angels movies), I recommend this collection as better than the first season. However, I may have reached my Angels limit; we'll see what kind of mood I am in when season 3 comes out.

Summary: "Good Morning, Angels"
Review: This DVD box set is a must have for any fan of classic television!! This set includes several classic episodes including: "Angels in Paradise," "The Sandcastle Murders," and "Angels on Ice." This set is worth getting just for the first two 'two-part' episodes of disc one! The picture quality is great! It looks much better than it did on TVLand! The sound quality is also really good! I highly recommend this DVD for adults and children; however, not very young children as some episodes deal with murder and drugs.

Summary: PERSONAL FAV
Review: This is my personal favorite season as my favorite angel is and will always be Cheryl Ladd as Kris Munroe. I find her stunning and a great replacement for Farrah. I like the episodes in this season quite a bit more than the first season. The picture quality is pretty good, the first few episodes show their age well with lots of scratches in the film etc but don't let that discourage you from buying this set. The sound is very good and the packaging is great! Instead of having to fold out all of the dvds on a couch or the floor you open it like a book here and each dvd flips like a page in a book! Simply amazing set! Can't wait for season 3!

Summary: Cool Angels, as always!! Let's go WONDER WOMAN!!
Review: Very cool!! Charlie's Angels Season 2 is lots of fun. I still feel Season One is the best, but there are GREAT episodes in season 2!! My 2 favorites are "Angel Flight" and "Circus of Terror." True, Season 2 is a little more camp than season one, but, hey camp is good!! Cheryl Ladd as Kris is so cute, but, just not always seemingly tough-enough to be a cop, unlike Jill, Sabrina, and Kelly. In any case, I bought Season 2 and quite glad I did!! But now, the icing on the cake... "WONDER WOMAN: Lynda Carter in The Complete First Season" out on June 29th!! Oh yeah!!!! You go, Diana, Amazon Princess!! Cool! :)

Summary: I love Charlie's Angels!
Review: You have to get this DVD! It's Charlie's Angels! The greatest camp of all time! Can't wait for the rest of the seasons!
Ok, my only two complaints are the lack of extras and the two edited movies, "Angels in Paradise" and "Angels on Ice". What a shame! I'm giving a rating of "4" because it's such a great show. I wish that company would show their great shows more dignity. Let's do a better job for seasons 3-5!
