In this preview, we explore iconic Los Angeles landmarks featured in the classic 1976 episode, "Target Angels."
Charlie’s Office Building | Beverly Hills
First, we visit the location of Charlie's office building at 189 North Robertson Blvd in Beverly Hills. Remarkably, this famous site looks almost identical today to its appearance in the original 1976 broadcast. Over the decades, the building has hosted a dentist office along with an appliance shop - a perfect "cover" for the clandestine nature of Charlie's business!Sabrina’s Apartment | Century City
Next, we head over to Sabrina Duncan's apartment building at 2320 Fox Hills Drive. Located in the Century City neighborhood, this site sits adjacent to the legendary 20th Century Fox movie studio lot. Like the office, this filming location has maintained its classic 70s aesthetic.The Taxi Theft Scene | Palms, Los Angeles
Finally, we track the route where Jill and Kelly steal a taxicab in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles.Location: Corner of Motor Avenue and Tabor Street.
