Charlie's Angels: The Complete Second Season has no shortage of the good-natured cheese and eye candy that made the primetime television show's debut season wildly popular in 1976. The Angels had a new look in their second year: Farrah Fawcett, arguably the most popular of the show's three actresses, departed before the sophomore season and was replaced by another blonde dazzler, Cheryl Ladd. (Ladd's character, Kris Munroe, was the younger sister of Fawcett's Jill Munroe, whose exit is explained in the premiere episode as a liberated woman's career move: Jill has decided to race cars in Spain.)

No sooner does Kris settle in than a crisis sweeps through off-screen Charlie's private investigation agency. While cavorting on Oahu in the two-part "Angels in Paradise," Charlie is kidnapped by a smuggler (France Nuyen), who demands the Angels break her husband out of jail in exchange for their boss's life. Bubbly Kris, brainy Sabrina Duncan (Kate Jackson), beauteous Kelly Garrett (Jaclyn Smith), and sidekick Bosley (David Doyle) are compelled to soak up rays and sip fruity mixed drinks in Waikiki while fighting crime in various guises, re-establishing, for another season, Charlie's Angels' dramatic and aesthetic game plan for every episode: start slow with lots of idle chatter, put the girls in a ridiculous undercover situation, and get them out of their clothes as much as possible.

The pattern continues in the silly "Angels on Ice," starring old hands Phil Silvers and Jim Backus, in which our heroines join an ice show to find out who kidnapped a pair of skaters. "Pretty Angels All in a Row" finds Kelly and Kris reluctant entrants in a "Miss Chrysanthemum Pageant" (no, you won't find Kate Jackson in a swimsuit this year, either) rigged by organized crime. "Circus of Terror," co-starring James Darren, enlists the Angels in the carney life. If there is anything to complain about regarding season 2, it is that the novelty of Charlie's Angels has worn a little thin, and every episode feels the same. Still, there are surprises: "The Sammy Davis Jr. Kidnap Caper" stars the late rat-packer in peril and much bemused by the presence of three comely bodyguards. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Charlie's Angels - The Complete Second Season February 17, 2004

By cyclista

Format:DVD

Charlie's Angels were wonderful because they were smart, attractive, and active. In Season Two, they play football, hang glide, ride horses, play tennis, sing, play guitar, ice skate, enter a beauty pageant, and so on. The Angels prove that they can hold their own, anywhere, anytime. Farrah Fawcett left Charlie's Angels after Season One. Although she does guest star in the third and fourth season, she does not appear in the second season. She was replaced by Cheryl Ladd.

4.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Kris Munroe! April 7, 2004

By Henry Branham

Format:DVD

I am so grateful that Sony decided to release the second season of Charlie's Angels on DVD! I pray they follow up with the three remaining seasons as well. Season 2 is my favorite season for a number of reasons. First of all, the tone of the series changed with the introduction of Kris Munroe. In Season 1 the episodes were much more adult oriented, but in Season 2 there was a blitz of toys being marketed towards kids and the show became a bit campy. Having a rookie Angel on the payroll soothed this transition, for with Kris came a sense of humor. Having posed for the extreme undercover roles of a toy mannequin ("Mother Goose is Running For His Life"), a clown ("Angels on Ice"), and a nudist ("Angels in Paradise"), Kris was clearly a team player. Cheryl Ladd proved her worth throughout the run of the series by allowing Kris to evolve from the spirited innocent who first bounced into the Townsend offices and into a more world weary mature woman by the end of Season 5. Her major turning point is depicted in "Angel Baby" in which Kris shoots a man for the first time.
In addition to Sabrina & Kelly receiving a new partner, the Angels performed some of their best detective work in several of the episodes, most notably in "Angels in Paradise" in which they go up against two rival Hawaiian mobs, stage a jail break, and rescue a kidnapped Charlie. Bosley also gets much more involved in the cases than he did on Season 1.
The picture and sound quality for this box set are better than that of Season 1, but I am only giving it four stars because Sony has done the unthinkable in editing two of the episodes.... Instead of giving fans the series as it originally aired, the first two episodes "Angels in Paradise" and "Angels on Ice" are cut up just as they are in syndication. I was looking forward to this set mainly to have these two episodes as they originally aired. Let's hope that if Sony does release Season 5, they do not cut up the first episode "From Street Models to Hawaiian Angels" which was changed to "Angel in Hiding" for syndication and is missing the most important scene in which Kelly & Kris learn that their suspect Julie Rogers is actually working on the same case as them.
Despite Sony's extreme laziness with this issue of editing the two part episodes, I still highly recommend buying this DVD box set. As far as I'm concerned Charlie's Angels was the greatest prime time drama in the history of television and am thrilled that new generations will get a taste of it via DVD. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Charlie's Best Angels March 1, 2004

By A Customer

Format:DVD

I strongly feel that season 2 of Charlie's Angels was probably the best season of the entire series run. Having to make up for the loss of Farrah they cast Cheryl Ladd and she turned out to be the most successful new Angel. Cheryl Ladd brought a lot of fun to the show and I think did a better job than Farrah. Jaclyn Smith shined as Kelly, though her acting may not have been the best during the first season, it started developing more and more, and she was by far the most beautiful woman on television when Charlie's Angels aired. Kate Jackson does supurb as the unofficial leader of the group, what she lacks in the 'babe factor' she makes up in her great acting skills. David Doyle never fails to impress as the lovable Bosley who always has the girls' backs. This season also brought about great episodes with the premiere "Angels in Paradise", having the most beautiful women on television against a Hawaiian paradise made for a great episode. "Pretty Angels All in a Row", a fun episode that could rival the ever popular season one episode "Angels in Chains". It was a very special treat to see the talents of Cheryl Ladd displayed in "Angels in the Wings", where Cheryl Ladd does a big musical number. It was also a fun treat to see the actual Charlie's Angels dolls that were sold in stores at the time appear in the episode "Mother Goose is Running for His Life". These episodes along with such notable guest as Sammy Davis Jr. make season 2 of Charlie's Angels a classic.
