Once Upon a Time....
Once upon a time...there was this great show with gorgeous Kate Jackson (who received Emmy nominations/not Grammy's), lovely Jaclyn Smith, and cute Cheryl Ladd, and of course, don't forget sidekick Bosely (David Doyle). Even though Farrah left in the second season, Cheryl Ladd, as her sister, filled the seat. Give her(Cheryl Ladd) credit for being the follow up to that! The new DVD set is excellent! Kate shines without the Farrah phenonmenon and Jaclyn is radiant as ever! The new trio in the second season made the show stronger, and it is evident in this DVD set. Only downside is knowing that Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd did not get along with one another. Knowing this now, I'm constantly watching their interaction between each other as actresses. It's subtle...but who cares, the second season know doubtingly deserved higher ratings then the first season. I would recommend this DVD for any TV enthusiasist. I can not wait, and hopefully, the third season, and (yes) fourth season with chic Shelley Hack (I actually liked her character~they should have kept her), and the street-wise Tonya Roberts will be released soon on DVD too.

The Angels are Back and Better than Ever!!!
After the hugely popular debut season of Charlie's Angels (in fact, it held the record for the show with the highest ratings during its 1st season for many years until ER took the title in the 1990's) and the departure of the show's most popular angel, "Jill" played by Farrah Fawcett, the brains behind the jiggle drama decided to introuduce the new character, "Kris" played by Cheryl Ladd, as Jill's younger sister. Replacing a main star after only one season was a huge risk, but the results were spectacular as audiences fell in love with the spunky new Angel, and the ratings for the show increased over those of the previous season!

In its 2nd season, Charlie's Angels started to mature as a television show with better writing and acting. Although the same dyn-o-mite chemistry that existed between the Angels of the original trio was missing in the 2nd season, that which did exist between Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd took the show in a different direction. Namely, the show stopped taking itself so seriously, which allowed for more comedic situations to occur between the characters, and it broke up the sometimes monotonous angels-in-peril theme of the episodes from the 1st season.

The DVD packaging for this season is an improvement over that of the 1st season, with heavenly artwork throughout the DVD set and with the discs presented in a bound booklet-style holder. The only real down-side to the DVD set is the editing of the first 2 episodes, "Angels in Paradise" and "Angels on Ice," each of which originally aired as 2-hour episodes, but appear in the DVD set as 2-part episodes which were edited for syndication. Also, the DVD set offers no extra features, which isn't that great of a loss as the episodes alone are well worth the price.

At this point, I imagine that Columbia-Tristar is going to hold onto any extra features until the release of the 5th season, in order to help fill out the DVD set (it was a shorter season due to writers' strikes) and to help boost sales (the season was unpopular among viewers, sliding out of the top 20 in the ratings). At any rate THANK YOU, Columbia-Tristar, for season 2 of Charlie's Angels-- we're all looking forward to the remaining angelic episodes!!!

MUST HAVE!
I Love, Love, Love this DVD box set!!! This is my favorite show, and I am SO happy that it came out on DVD! This is one of the best seasons, and is a must have for any "Charlie's Angels" fan! The quality is very good, and it is just the best! Also, pick up season one! It is just as good!!!
