Today's Charlie's Angels, s01el08: "Lady Killer"
Original airdate: 24 Nov 1976
IMDB destription: When two centerfolds for Tony Mann's "Feline Club" are murdered, the Angels are called in to find out who the killer is, with one of the Angels drawing the short straw to become a "Feline" herself.
My TV tells me: Jill applies as a centerfold for a girlie magazine plagued by murder and sabotage. Starring Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith. Guest starring Huch O'Brien and Alan Fudge. With Jan Shutan who played Mira Romaine in Star Trek in there somewhere.
Ongoing commentary:
New centerfold candidate gets choroformed and her hair is cut off with a pair of industrial scissors. This seems to be a thing because a few other girls have been found dead by choroform poisoning with their hair cut off.
A flannel shirt under a sport jacket seems to be acceptable in 1976. Also those ruffled frilly tux shirts.
Worst bar fight ever.
Bald guy with an avocado green princess phone is not a good sign.
Pretty sure someone just put a bomb in the tennis ball launcher. Yeah, they did and Jill got blasted. Once again, no one can tell the difference.
I'm not sure why David Doyle didn't win the Sexiest Man Alive contest in People magazine, if they even had that in 1976. Dude's a stud.
Kelly somehow threw the bald guy off a six story building, he fell, he hit a car roof and rolled into the street. And the explanation was he's unconscious, but he'll be fine. Okay.
Some guy in a ninja outfit is trying to chloroform Farrah while she's asleep, and both of them are rolling around on the bed and floor screaming like banshees. No clues, he must have been wearing gloves.
"I saw his face when the bed exploded, nobody's that good an actor." Wh- Sabrina Duncan
When's the last time you saw a white guy with a grey afro?
Oh shit, Jan Shutan is the killer? Nobody saw that one coming.
Orange and white Ford Pinto appearance!
And, it's because Jan Shutan had an accident and was bald and was kicked out of the centerfold continuum. She's been wearing a wig this whole episode, who knewS
Well, that was interesting. As far as this shit goes, I'd give it 4/5 Golden Angels. Completely dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is what it is.
