Shelley became Charlie's Angel no. 5 in 1979. On September 12, 1979, Charlie's Angels fourth season debut episode, “Love Boat Angels,” topped the Nielsen ratings, and the addition of Shelley Hack had revived interest in the show (Charlie's Angels had slipped significantly from # 4 to # 12 in the ratings on its third season in 1978.) The September 18 issue of Us Weekly predicted that the series, with Shelley Hack onboard, would be one of the biggest hits on the "tube" in the upcoming season.
