The Angels investigate the theft of a priceless Egyptian collection in Beverly Hills. They immediately suspect the real estate agency that monopolizes the area, so they set a trap for its boss. After a succession of some of the darkest episodes in the show's history ("Angel's Child", "One Of Our Angels Is Missing", "Catch A Falling Angel"), the series needed to lighten up a little, and that's what "Homes $weet Homes" sets out to do. This is a fun, (relatively) lighthearted romp with lots of comedy: perhaps surprisingly, the most adept one at the comedy, in this episode at least, proves to be Shelley Hack, who has visibly gained confidence and self-assurance; her "deep seductive" voice is quite funny. Bosley is also funny, and the episode just leaves you with a smile on your face. The Beverly Hills setting allows for some luxurious visuals - and check out Sherry Jackson's awesome legs! *** out of 4.

Angel Realty
adamcshelby25 September 2021
The Angels are hired by a wealthy couple who had half a million dollars worth of jewelry stolen from their house. One of the suspects is Barry Kingsbrook, who runs Kingsbrook Realty, the real estate agent to the stars. Kingsbrook is played by Dick Gautier, a well-known comedic actor and game show guest.
His main squeeze at the agency is Tina Fuller, played by Sherry Jackson, best known for playing Danny Thomas's daughter on his sitcom and for playing the android Andrea on an episode of Star Trek ('What are Little Girls Made Of?').
Charlie gets Kris Monroe a job at the Kingsbrook Realty agency and it's there she has the misfortune of dealing with Gautier's pushy, lascivious character.
Tiffany goes undercover as a wealthy homeowner who hires the agency to sell her mansion. Bosley is a wealthy buyer of old letters from Miami who flies in to Los Angeles to purchase fake revolutionary war letters owned by Tiffany's character. Kelly plays a liaison between Bosley and Tiffany.
Essentially, the Angels are trying to entice Gautier's Kingsbrook to commit a crime by stealing the phony letters.
There are some light-hearted and comedic moments throughout this episode. Jaclyn Smith's dog makes its second appearance on Charlie's Angels when she visits a French caterer. Shelly Hack does a husky Kathleen Turner voice for her character. Cheryl Ladd's Kris breaks out another swimsuit, this time for a hot tub in a bomb shelter. And then there's the highly offensive caricature of an Asian butler.
I guess you could say the episode was not boring, though there were a few silly moments. Like why did Bosley, Kelly, and Tiffany have to wear the bug exterminator outfits when they went to Kingsbrook's mansion? Since they knew Kris was in trouble they just could have showed up as themselves and forced their way inside. Ah well, there's always a few nitpicks.

Wildly enjoyable.

Watched this just yesterday evening. One of my absolute favorites. So deliciously tongue-in-cheek. Bosley in his role as Jake Pickens. Jaclyn Smith doing her southern accent. Shelley Hack just effortlessly elegant and glamorous. Cheryl Ladd gets the straight part and has one of her several swimsuit moments. Sherry Jackson also there, as a big bonus. A riot of an episode.
Wins the Worst-Hairpiece-Ever award, by a mile
ColonelPuntridge28 September 2018
The smooth real-estate agent who is the center of the plot is played by Dick Gautier, familiar to viewers from having played Hymie the Robot on "Get Smart". Here he wears the most HILARIOUSLY BAD hairpiece I have EVER seen anywhere. Even William Shatner never wore such a hideous, obvious rug.
The cast also includes Vito Scotti, the comedic Italian who appeared in numerous "Columbo" episodes, playing (as always) a small role.
