Wham! Boom! Thank You, Man

Our co-producer, Loren, was a very big fan of Charlie¹s Angels when he was growing up (a Boomer himself, he was 12 in 1976 when the series hit America like an exploding pocket rocket). But his parents would not let him watch Charlie's Angels or Soap so he had to sneak the family's 13-inch black-and-white TV to his room every Wednesday night. We knew something was up when his face turned ash white and his voice cracked like Bobby Brady's during the "change." THE Jaclyn Smith was on the phone, concerned that she might have come across as prudish during her interview (we did ask some racy questions). Loren assured her that she did not and she doesn¹t. You can catch the still-sexy and very classy Smith on WOW¹s Generation Boom. Another episode airs tonight on TV Land at 10PM. (Watch)
