ABSTRACT
On a Wednesday night in March 1976, Charlie’s Angels saw its prime-time premier on America’s ABC network. The show featured three glamorous female private detectives – Jill, Kelly and Sabrina – who employed a winning combination of beauty, brains and bravura to solve their undercover assignments. Stymied in their police careers by institutional sexism, they accepted jobs in a detective agency headed by the mysterious ‘Charlie’ – an unseen employer who relayed the Angels’ missions by telephone while his bumbling sidekick, Bosley, was on hand to help the girls out and fret about the expenses.
