Ladd

Season two began
with the search for a new Angel. Aaron Spelling and Leonard
Goldberg had asked actress Cheryl Ladd to replace the departing
Farrah Fawcett-Majors. Cheryl, who had recently lost the role of
the eldest daughter on Family, innitially said
"no" to the idea of replacing Farrah. A couple months
later, Cheryl was asked once again to take the role. Eventually
she agreed, after some minor adjustments were made to the
character. She would be Kris Munroe, the rookie sister of Jill
Munroe (Farrah Fawcett), who would make mistakes but eventually
triumph in the end. The audience was taken with this new Angel,
so the show kept its high ratings as they continued catching the
bad guys! Along with a new Angel, the show received a new time
slot. The Angels remained on Wednesday nights, but moved from
10pm to 9pm. This change in time opened up a whole world of new
viewers and kept the "Angels" right where they belong
- on top (of the ratings)!
In the toy world, the pre-existing Charlie's Angels toys
were re-produced with Kris Munroe's (Ladd) likeness in place of
Jill Munroe's (Fawcett). Along with these changes, new and
additional toys were created: Lunchbox, Doll Van, Colorform Set,
Gold Coast Doll Outfits, Magic Slate, Rainy Day Set and a
Cosmetic Set.
Both as a team phenomenon and individually, the Angels found
themselves on the covers of TV Guide, People and a various
Hollywood magazines.
The second season ended with high ratings, proving that Cheryl
Ladd was a successful replacement for Farrah Fawcett.
