Revealing mistake: During the air show, there is a shot focusing on the spectators watching the exhibition. The same identical shot is shown some minutes later. (00:19:00 - 00:21:40)
Charlie's Angels (1976)
1 revealing mistake in season 3
Starring: Cheryl Ladd, Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, David Doyle
Unidentified Flying Angels - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: During the flight, Kelly gives Britten the OK sign (thumbs up). In the first shot, she uses her right thumb; but, in the next shot she uses her left thumb. (00:30:20)
Trivia: The original actor who had been cast as Charlie had a drinking problem, and couldn't deliver his lines properly. John Forsythe got called up by creator Aaron Spelling after midnight on a Friday night and was asked to record lines ASAP because the show had to be aired Monday night. He headed straight down to the studio at 20th Century Fox, still in his slippers and pyjamas, recorded the lines and went straight back to bed.
Question: Why Is Tanya Robert a former model and not a cop? I've never read any explanation as to why.

Answer: After going through a number of cast changes that failed to improve the show's slumping ratings, Tanya Roberts' character was added as "street-wise" former model. This was probably an effort to give a different and edgier character dimension to the show.
