Drafting Overview:
Season four of Charlie's Angels originally aired from September 12, 1979, to May 7, 1980. The season features Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, and David Doyle, and introduces Shelley Hack as Tiffany Welles, a police graduate from Boston who joins the team. Original Angel Farrah Fawcett makes appearances in three episodes. During this season, the series format changed from team-oriented episodes to episodes that focused on a single angel. This shift, along with other factors, coincided with a decline in ratings, though the show remained in the top 20. Notably, this season contains the only episode in the entire series that features no Charlie. While some viewers attributed rating changes to the new cast member, others pointed to the format change. Tiffany Welles was noted for being more professional and classy than other members who began acting less professionally following the departure of Sabrina Duncan. The Angels continue to use their sleuthing, combat skills, and feminine charm to solve cases, receiving their orders via speaker phone from their unseen boss, Charlie.
