Nominated twice for an Emmy for Charlie's Angels, Kate Jackson could take nothing scripts and turn them into something. She played a ditzy heiress who was almost stripped naked by Dennis Cole.
She played a smoking mean bitch who wanted to adopt a black market baby -- so nasty the bad guys were leery of her!
The only false note I ever saw was in the opening credits of Season 2 and 3 where Sabrina tries to look glad to see Jill's sister Kris outside the police academy.
In fairness, it was poorly staged.
What's not to like about Cheryl Ladd? It's not like Farrah was fired. She quit. Kate might have liked her but there's no way she could have respected her as an actress.
