Okay, BuzzMedia fam, buckle up! We just caught up on some major news from Jaclyn Smith herself. Yes, one of our original “Charlie’s Angels” is talking. And she’s holding nothing back!

So, the Emmys on Monday night? They celebrated the 50th anniversary of “Charlie’s Angels.” Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, and Cheryl Ladd reunited on stage. The energy was electric! It was a beautiful moment, seeing those iconic stars together again, bringing that classic, confident vibe back to our screens.

But here’s the real talk. Jaclyn dished that the Television Academy wasn’t so kind to the show back in the 70s. She called it “snobbism.” Can you imagine? A show with such a distinct visual style, full of action and friendship, getting ignored by the very people meant to celebrate TV.

It’s wild to think about. “Charlie’s Angels” brought such a fresh, vibrant aesthetic to our screens. It broke ground! Yet, it received almost no recognition when it originally aired. Now, 50 years later, they’re getting a standing ovation. We think that’s a bit late, but we’re still happy to see it.

And the conversation didn’t stop there. Jaclyn also gave her take on why the latest “Charlie’s Angels” movie reboot “didn’t work.” She knows the secret sauce, right? We’re always curious to hear from the OGs.

Our Take

We’re completely with Jaclyn Smith on this one. It’s fantastic that “Charlie’s Angels” finally got its moment in the Emmy spotlight. This show was a phenomenon! It showcased strong women, cool outfits, and always had amazing, high-energy visuals that just popped off the screen.

It’s a genuine head-scratcher why it was dismissed back in the day. But its lasting power speaks volumes. Seeing Jaclyn, Kate, and Cheryl back together proved one thing: the magic of the original Angels is still totally there. Some classics just can’t be rebooted without that special touch. Long live the Angels!
