of the Charlie's Angels episode
"Angels on the Street," 1979
Charlie's Angels captured the imagination of the entire world when it first aired in March of 1976 (the pilot episode) and fans were saddened by the news of its sudden cancellation in June of 1981. All in all, six women had the privilege of being part of the phenomenal hit TV series - Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts. Interest in all the Angels didn't end when the series ended though. In fact, writeups about them would crop up every few years - like a sort of catch up on what each Angel had been up to. In 1983, an Italian mag featured the Angels in a writeup called "'Charlie's Angels' Addio" or "'Charlie's Angels' Goodbye", with updates on what each of the actresses had been busy with as of late. The first season of Charlie's Angels debuted on Italian TV in 1979; and the final season was aired in 1983, with the final episode aired in May of that year. So by that time, it had been two years since the series had been cancelled on American TV.
