Relic of it's time

It's another one of their more serious episode

I'm going to argue that Aaron Spelling actually lifted 'going undercover in an adult club' off an article Gloria Steinem wrote in 1963 to show what working in these clubs is really like for the women. She's even referenced in the episode!!

Am surprised-disappointed that she was not talked into doing a guest star. Convince families in middle America that women's liberation is important after all.

Spelling (who produced the series) himself is apparently empathetic He shows that the women working in these clubs do worry what is going to eventually happen to themselves as they age--something Tony perhaps had not initially considered. Also his real life counterpart wasn't particularly interested in 'independent women'.

The clubs in this episode remain open in that world, while we'd be very hard pressed to find them still today in America. They're all closed--a bygone relic of their time.

Tony is mildly interested in Sabrina who has been assigned (as part of her cover) to be his 'friend" This is interesting considering she is the 'bookish' less 'pretty' Angel who also has the most clothes on this episode!! She wasn't supposed to be the 'hot' Angel who attracts 'these men'.

Compared to his puny real-life counterpart--he looks fairly well built and suave. It's easy to see why women flock to him.

Did Sabrina actually eventually leave the series to be with Tony? This would have been an interesting movie!!
