The Name Game

Get this, originally Spelling and Goldberg titled the show, The Alley Cats, which in our opinion is pretty bad and quite deeming to such a feminist cast. However thanks to Kate Jackson and her creative input, she came up with the name Harry’s Angels. Harry was originally the name of their oh-so-mysterious boss but because the name was much too similar to that of Harry­ O, a detective show running at the time, they changed it to…Charlie’s Angels!

Quite The Wardrobe

You know the saying, “The clothes make the girl?” Well, in this case, that couldn’t be more true! In the show’s 110 episode run, the wardrobe budget was, ~ahem~, $22,000! Seriously. The reason being, each star changed numerous times per episode and only wore only the best designer brands. In fact, Farrah Fawcett broke a record when she changed into 12, we repeat 12, different outfits in just one episode!
