Message: <blockquote data-quote="ClassyCo" data-source="post: 218119" data-attributes="member: 7">Season Five is horrifically bad. Shelley Hack has always said that the reason she was axed is because the producers were perfectly alright with her taking all the blame for Season Four's downturn in popularity, and that by axing her they could bring forth further publicity for Season Five by searching for a new angel. It certainly makes sense. In 1977 and 1979, the two times prior they had searched for a new actress, there was considerable buzz around who would fill the vacant angel seat. It didn't really happen this time around, though. Interest in the show itself had fizzled, although a lot of people did seem eager to see Shari Belafonte, daughter of singer Harry Belafonte, step into the available role. That, of course, was not meant to be. There are only a couple of Season Five episodes I enjoy, among them "Angel on the Line". That may be the only episode from the final season that I like, but there are a few others that are marginal. Tanya or Julie or what ever you want to call her was just bad. No one has chemistry with her, and her not being a graduate from the police academy tosses the whole thing off. That's the whole purpose of the show. She's a model? What? Yeah, it's bad.</blockquote>
