"Hey, little sister!" Kris Monroe joins the fold., 25 Sep 2007
Season 2 finally gets a region 2 release! Despite the iconic Farrah Fawcett now missing from the line up, this was the season that cemented Charlie's Angels status as a force to be reckoned with, as it proved it could go on without her. Season 2 has a stellar set of episodes, and Cheryl Ladd proved critics wrong by putting in an enthusisastic and energetic portrayal as Jill's little sister Kris, and would go on to become the 2nd longest serving angel (after Jaclyn Smith), staying right through the end of the show after Season 5. As great as this set is I have 2 major grievances. Firstly, there are no extras whatsoever. OK this is an old tv show and everyone already knows all the behind the scenes stories to death, but a few little interviews or featurettes would have been nice. Granted, the likelihood of getting Kate Jackson would have been low, but Cheryl and Jaclyn would've done it! Secondly, the set has the 2-part versions of the double length episodes "Angels in Paradise" and "Angels on Ice". Having seen most of the episodes on various tv stations over the last few years (Channel 5, Granada Plus, and more recently UK Gold), they all play the split up versions of the episodes (even in cases where they are ran back to back), and I was really looking forward to viewing the episodes as they were intended to be seen.
These minor problems aside, this set is definitely worth getting your hands on. Any newcomers to Angels who are unsure whether to carrying on watching with the loss of Farrah, I urge you to give it a go. If, by the end of "Angels in Paradise" Cheryl hasn't won you over, then there's seriously something wrong with you!
Altogether now : "Good Morning Charlie!!!"

Charlie's Angels -Series 2 Complete , 24 April 2007
Once there were three little girls who went to the police academy...
Sabrina (Kate Jackson)and Kelly (Jaclyn Smith)return for a second season of the 70s detective series "Charlie's Angels" aided by John Bosley(David Doyle)
After the shock departure of Farrah Fawcett's Jill Munroe,Cheryl Ladd joins the cast as Jill's little sister Kris,played with great charm and fun and she was the rookie Angel who made mistakes but learnt from them.
Indeed Cheryl Ladd was the only replacement Angel,who really worked,when Kate Jackson left after series three,she was replaced by Shelley Hack,who played academic Tiffany Welles but she was let go after one season and replaced by the Amazonan like Tayna Roberts as street wise Julie Rogers.
In this second season DVD set,the Angels deal with Charlie's kidnap,the employer they've never seen and Sammy Davis Jnr makes an appearance as himself and a lookalike in "The Great Sammy Davis Kidnap Caper".
Sabrina falls in love with a crook in "Angel In Love"."Circus Of Terror" is one of the best stories of season 2 with all three Angels getting good roles after a series of bizarre accidents happen at a cash ridden circus.
"Unidentified Flying Angles" is a very bizarre story about a con about aliens,Kelly even pretending to be an alien at one point.
"The Sand Castle Murders" sees a young friend of Kris' murdered and Cheryl Ladd really potrays the grief well.
So give this DVD a go,Cheryl Ladd more than makes up for Farrah's abscence!
