Charlie’s Angels 1976: Season 5

Charlie’s Angels: Season Five is the fifth and final season of Charlie’s Angels. The season starred Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd and David Doyle, and introduced Tanya Roberts as streetwise former model Julie Rogers. Season Five was broadcast from November 30, 1980 until June 24, 1981.

Since the show’s third season, ratings were falling. Producers believed replacing Shelley Hack with a new “Angel” would improve viewing figures, but with this season’s timeslot being continually changed during its run, ratings continued to fall. Season Five aired only 16 episodes, the least of all the show’s seasons, and the show was cancelled after this season concluded. Lot of rating fall is blame for the lack of quality in the episodes, the character of Tanya Roberts who not bring back the vibe of Farrah character and the three angels don’t have the chemistry of the past 4 seasons. Rumors point that this season would be the last season of Jaclyn Smith as Kelly Garret.
