Charlie's Angels was a worldwide phenomenon and was in its 4th season in 1979 when Shelley joined the cast. Shelley brought a breath of fresh air into the series which was showing signs of fatigue (the 3rd season finished at 12th over all in the ratings - 8 places down from the 2nd season's ratings which was 4th). The season opened with a lot of fanfare - as well as the expected negative reviews - and finished at number one for that week. As the season progressed, many were wondering how long the series was going to last in the air - and which Angel would last the entire series. The Australian edition of TV Guide posed the question "Charlie's Beautiful Angels: How Long Can They Last?" Well, people are still talking about all the Angels until this very moment. So what do you think?
