Utter trash but fun

A once notorious episode from the hit TV show "Charlie's Angels". The angels (Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett) allow themselves to become prisoners in a ridiculously sadistic prison. There are strip searches, delousing, a lesbian guard, beatings, killings...the works. Sounds harrowing but it's impossible to take seriously. I actually laughed out loud when one of the angels sneers at the guard, "When was the last time you were sprayed?" In 1976 this was considered over the top and way too strong for TV. They got away with it because this show played at 10:00. Also the ratings for this episode went through the roof. Today you can see it complete and unedited during the afternoon on TV! Worth seeing once---for laughs.

Trivia
Kim Basinger was later offered the role of Kris Munroe and turned it down because she wanted to do film.

Goofs
This one takes place in Louisiana, a state where the highest point is 535 feet (163 m.) above sea level, yet, many times, in the escape scene, mountains/hills figure prominently. The scriptwriters should have picked a different state, like Arkansas, and it wouldn't have changed the plot at all.

Quotes
Kelly Garrett: [delousing spray applied to the three new inmates] How long has it been since you've been sprayed?
Maxine: Get cute in here, and you *can* get hurt, understand, dearie?
