I think the "problem" (which really wasn't a problem) was that it was happening all at once. Charlie's Angels in fall 1976, then Three's Company in spring 1977. Battle of the Network Stars with its various ladies in wet, skimpy outfits. ABC was doing a lot, but I agree with yall, it was really NOTHING at all lol
Re: CA being better/worse than other 70s crime dramas. To me, it just fits right in with the rest. Whether that's good or bad is up to anyone's opinion, but any salute to that era of detectives, cops, investigators, etc. would be incomplete without the girls. The Spelling shows rightly occupy space in that conversation, and the Quinn Martin shows occupy their own space, as do the NBC Mystery Movie-style shows, plus all the rest. I look at it the same way I look at soaps, westerns, etc. Outside casual viewers might think they're all the same, but if you really watch them, you can see the differences and how each show succeeded in doing its own thing.
