In the fall of 1981, Charlie's Angels went into syndication.

Columbia's release of the show's complete first season on five discs presents all 22 episodes in their best-ever condition. In syndication, "Charlie's Angels" were shown via grainy 16mm prints; and in more recent years, the edits, time compression, and other nasty conforming for more commercials pretty much wrecked the enjoyment of watching any episode. Remember, that back in 1976, the show's pilot (also included in this set) ran 79 minutes in a 90 minute time slot, and each episode clocked in at 50 minutes for a 1 hour slot; as a point of comparison, most hour shows today can run as low as 41 minutes, with shorter episode chunks, longer ad breaks, and the viewer ultimately sensing a cheat in the works.
