Charlie's Angels - Season Four

Starring: Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, David Doyle, John Forsythe, introducing Shelley Hack,
with Farrah Fawcett returning for her final three episodes.

As season four rounded the corner, the big question remained. Who was to replace the center rock of Charlie's Angels? The answer came with Shelley Hack, best known for her Charlie Perfume Ads.

Shelley entered The Townsend Office as Tiffany Welles, an Ivy League scholar who also was a graduate from the Boston Police Academy. Spelling and Goldberg had the idea that with this new Angel/model at the helm, she could bring an elegant and classy touch to Charlie's trio!

The writers treaded lightly as they tried to figure out how to make Tiffany Welles the new "Sabrina Duncan". The true problem with this season was the decline in ratings. The series found itself in the top 20's, instead of the top 10 were it had been for the last three years. The ratings drop was directed at the new Angel and at the end of the season, Shelley was let go of her detective duties. Thus, beginning, another hunt for a new Angel!

Even with numerous photo shoots on the new Angelic trio, few US toys arrived in stores. There was a cast poster and an iron-on t-shirt. The most sought after items from this season came from Japan and England, which produced two Roadshow calendars (1980 & 1981) and the 1981 British Annual.
