Childhood Memories

I remember watching the show as a kid. I was ten years old when the series started in 1976. By the end of the fifth season in 1981, I was fifteen. These girls were goddesses for young boys like myself. One of my favorite parts of the show was when they would hire a new angel. I remember all the hype, and how all the movie magazines would publish photos of the new angel even before the new season started! They became instant celebrities! I also liked how they filmed new opening credits and they would recreate the walking scene above with the new lineup.

Here's some caps from Season 5 - Disc 6.

"Angel on the Line" is one of my favorite episodes from the fifth season because it feels like a scary stalker movie. I remember one 1980s movie about this babysitter who kept getting these threatening crank phone calls from some pervert. The police traced the calls and found out that they were coming from someone hiding inside the house using another phone line! Nowadays, everything is cell phones! I laugh to myself sometimes when I see the angels using their big, bulky car phones!


The other episode, "Chorus Line Angels" feels like an old-time movie musical. Jaclyn Smith looks likes she's in heaven with all the musical and dance numbers. She'd be great on "Dancing With the Stars." I also can't get that horrible song out of my head:

"We're gonna be
pals, buddies, and friends,
to the end, to the end, to the end."
