MeTV’s “Aaron Spelling Sundays” closes out the month on January 25, 2026, with a lineup that leans into danger. Airing from 2pm to 6pm ET, the four-hour block once again highlights the range of Aaron Spelling’s television empire, from one of Charlie’s Angels‘ most talked-about early episodes to a two-part Love Boat storyline that brings a rivalry to its breaking point. Let’s find out which episodes we can expect on January 25:

2pm – Charlie’s Angels, “Angels in Chains”

CHARLIE'S ANGELS, Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, 1976-81.

The afternoon kicks off with one of the most infamous episodes from Charlie’s Angels‘ first season. When a client hires the Angels to find out what happened to her missing sister, Sabrina, Jill, and Kelly deliberately get themselves sent to a women’s prison to investigate from the inside. Once undercover, the trio quickly realizes the situation is far more dangerous than expected. Originally airing on October 20, 1976, “Angels in Chains” stars Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith and was directed by Phil Bondelli and written by Robert Earll.

3pm – Hart to Hart, “Death in the Slow Lane”

Jonathan surprises Jennifer with a vintage car for her birthday, a gift she’s far less enthusiastic about than he expected. When two strangers become unusually determined to buy the car, the Harts begin to suspect there’s far more to it than meets the eye. “Death in the Slow Lane” originally aired on October 13, 1979, and stars Robert Wagner, Stefanie Powers and Lionel Stander.

4pm – Fantasy Island, “Racer / Lady of the Evening”

Renee Lansing arrives on the island hoping to escape recognition and live anonymously, while another guest’s fantasy centers on finding her as his ideal companion. A professional driver named Jack Kincade also confronts the trauma and nightmares left behind by a near-fatal crash, hoping to regain the courage to race again. Airing in 1978, the episode stars Ricardo Montalbán as Mr. Roarke and Hervé Villechaize as Tattoo and is directed by Don Weis.

5pm – The Love Boat, “Pride of the Pacific / The Viking’s Son / Separate Vacations / The Experiment / Getting to Know You (Part 2)”

The afternoon concludes with the second half of The Love Boat‘s fifth-season storyline that began the week before. As tensions between Captain Stubing and his longtime rival, Captain Gunner, reach new heights, revelations about the competition force Merrill to push himself and his crew harder than ever. The escalating rivalry begins to take a toll on everyone onboard, including his daughter Vicki. Originally airing on March 6, 1982, the episode stars Gavin MacLeod, Bernie Kopell, Fred Grandy, Ted Lange, Lauren Tewes, and Jill Whelan, with guest appearances by Ted Knight, Sonny Bono, Michele Lee, Charlotte Rae, Tom Bosley and Charles Nelson Reilly.
