Charlie's Angels was one of the most phenomenally successful shows to ever come to the small screen. This groundbreaking TV series was the very first female buddy-buddy show to hit TV. It also presented women as not just the fairer sex, but as strong and independent individuals 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 Angels 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 Angels were capable enough to handle themselves.
