Disc 5:
Episode 76: “The Prince and the Angel”
Episode 77: “Angels on Skates”
I was surprised at the lack of fanfare surrounding Farrah Fawcett's special guest star appearance in this episode. It begins with her and Kelly shopping in a boutique -- no special announcement like, "Jill's coming to visit!"
"Angels on Skates" is a personal favorite because it was filmed almost entirely at Venice Beach, and some of the buildings are still there to this day. Whenever I go to Venice Beach to rollerblade or bicycle, I always make it a point go by the building where the Angels first rent their skates. It's still there, although it's a clothing shop now. The interior was most likely filmed in a soundstage, but the exterior actually exists in Venice, as well as the apartment where Rita lived and the parking lot where the angels first parked their car upon arrival. It's a surreal feeling to think I'm walking the same ground as the Angels did. It feels like I've been transported into an episode, and that I'm a part of their world.
