List of episodes |
This is a list of episodes for the fourth season of the TV series Charlie's Angels. Originally aired from September 12, 1979 to May 7, 1980 for a total of 25 episodes, the season starred Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, David Doyle, and introduced Shelley Hack as new angel Tiffany Welles, a police graduate from Boston. Original star Farrah Fawcett also reprises her role as Jill Munroe in three episodes.
The fourth season of the show saw a further decline in viewing figures, but still remained in the top 20 (#17 in the Nielsen chart); some believing Shelley Hack was to blame, others are of the opinion that the change in format from team oriented episodes to episodes that focused on only one Angel caused the rating decline.
Season 4 also has the only episode of the entire series without Charlie ("Avenging Angel").
