But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me. My name is Charlie. STORYLINE The plot is pretty simple on this show. Three very attractive policewomen are recruited into a private detective agency by a wealthy yet reclusive man named Charlie Townsend (voiced by John Forsythe). The three detectives called Angels are given their cases by Charlies assistant Bosley (David Doyle) or directly from Charlie via speakerphone. The Angels are Sabrina Duncan (Kate Jackson), Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith) and Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett). In progressive seasons there are quite a few cast changes among the Angels. Jaclyn Smith and David Boyle were the only cast members who stayed with the series for all 5 seasons. Replacement characters included: Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett) was replaced in the second season by Cheryl Ladd as Kris Munroe Jills sister. Sabrina Duncan (Kate Jackson) was replaced by in the fourth season by Shelley Hack as Tiffany Welles. Then in the next season Tanya Roberts replaces Hack as Julie Rogers. Most of the cast changes were made to accommodate the actors moving on to other projects but unfortunately the public couldnt keep up and after several top 10 rated seasons the show lost its ratings in the fifth season and wasnt renewed for a sixth.
