Coming This October

Charlie's Angels will be released on Blu-ray this October

Charlie's Angels was one of the most phenomenally successful shows to ever come to the small screen. It's popularity and success can only be likened to other TV greats such as E.R., American Idol and more recently, Game of Thrones. This groundbreaking, Marvel-Studios-Avengers-big TV series was the very first female buddy-buddy show to hit the small screen. It also presented women as not just the fairer sex, but as strong and independent as well. The series ran for five seasons and went though six Angels all in all. The only male leads in the series were John Bosley, played by David Doyle, and Charles "Charlie" Townsend, whose face was never shown and was voiced by John Forsythe. David Ogden Stiers appeared in the pilot movie as liaison officer Scott Woodville - a sort of back up for the girls if they needed saving. When the show was picked up as a weekly series, the Woodville character was dropped as it was deemed that the girls were capable enough to save themselves. How's that for Girl Power?

Charlie's Angels The Complete Series on Blu-ray this October

Charlie's Angels The Complete Series was first released in DVD format in 2012 by Sony. In 2016, it was re-released by Mill Creek, again in DVD format. This October 2019, Mill Creek will finally release the series in Blu-ray format. Fans will finally get to watch all the Angels (Kate Jackson as the smart no-nonsense Sabrina Duncan, Farrah Fawcett as the sporty California girl Jill Munroe, Jaclyn Smith as the sultry and mysterious Kelly Garrett, Cheryl Ladd as the cute and sexy girl-next-door Kris Munroe, Shelley Hack as the classy intellectual Tiffany Welles and Tanya Roberts as the street-smart tigress Julie Rogers) in the highest quality video and audio format to date. Can't wait.
