One of Our Angels is Missing - S4-E16
Revealing mistake: Fake backgrounds and stuntmen are extremely evident throughout the entire episode.
Charlie's Angels (1976)
1 revealing mistake in season 4 - chronological order
Starring: Cheryl Ladd, Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, David Doyle
Plot hole: After Sabrina and Tarloff have finished their rehearsal, Kris is able to pick the real sword with no hesitation. There are still six swords left in the basket (one is real, five are fake). They all look the same, so how could Kris know the exact position of the real one? (00:43:30)
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.
