Modern Day Charlie's Angel

Shows such as Charlie's Angel's were very popular for their time. The sexual content was a definate aspect of it that was very much enjoyed by watchers of that time. The Angel's, Sabrina, Kelly, and Jill, were very attractive cops who solved everyday crimes for the FBI. They're sexuality was a new thing on television. Viewers in the 1970's were not used to sexuality being an aspect of regular television programming. In today's media, sexuality is very common. The idea of the "Sexy Cop" is a fantasy of most men. This was all started with Charlie's Angels. The show was a revolution for television. Without it's groundbreaking sexuality, a lot of sexuality in the modern day media may have not existed. The girl's on Charlie's Angels are very subtley sexy. In the opening scene of the pilot episode, you see Farrah Fawcett's character playing tennis in a skimpy outfit. At that time, this was a big deal. This show helped pave the way as to what we see in media today. The Go Daddy commercials are very un-subtle in sexuality. They are quite blunt as to the point they are trying to get across. They want male attention! The girl in this commercial is a modern day Charlie's Angel. She is a cop, that underneath the uniform is sexy (yet again, this is a male fantasy). This commercial in the 1970's would be wildly innapropraite. These days, this is screened on televisions all over the world. Most individuals wouldn't think twice about the over-sexed media we have been accustomed to. This goes to show you how groundbreaking a show like Charlie's Angels was. What would our media be like today without a show like that? A lot more subtle perhaps?
