    When Charmed originally aired, I wasn't watching a lot of TV and I missed the first couple of seasons. But my fiance (now wife) was a fan from episode one, and I started watching it with her around season 3. I have been addicted, for better or worse, ever since, and when I sit back and watch Charmed, remembering it is an Aaron Spelling TV production, there is much more about it that I love/like than I hate/dislike.

    First of all, Alyssa Milano (yes, I am a heterosexual man). She is one of the most sexy and beautiful women I have ever seen, and just being able to look at her is enough for me.

    Now that I have that out of the way, I love the overall concept of the show. I have been a fan of science fiction, horror and fantasy based entertainment since I was a little boy, and having a show based on good witches battling the forces of evil is fine by me. Being a father and grandfather, the added aspect of the witches being family (sisters), Leo and Piper getting married and having children, well, I just like the whole family "thing". It has built-in conflict and unconditional love, and I really connect with that. Also, even when a story/episode is horrible overall, there is almost always a good message about life and relationships in general that takes some of the sting out. Charmed is an attractively shot show, you can tell they used very high quality equipment to provide a highly defined, sharply colorful picture. Most of the time the special effects are very good to excellent, although sometimes they fall into lameness, like when Phoebe is flying on the broomstick in the "All Halliwell's Eve" episode. I feel that the main characters and regular supporting cast over the years were uniformly good to great actors and actresses. In fact, Shannen, Holly, Alyssa and Rose all had some outstanding moments. The two examples that immediately come to mind are Alyssa's turn at the climax of "Morality Bites", and Holly in part one of "Charmed Again"- they both demonstrate some big-time acting chops when given the chance. I also really like the sense of humor displayed at times, particularly one-liners like when Prue sees Leo in the shower and says "Nice orbs", or in the episode "Sense and Sensibility", when Paige writes "Demons lie", and Phoebe says "Yeah, but not about literacy!" Finally, the people working on the show would throw in nice little touches, like having one of "Charlie's Angels" guest star in "The Day the Magic Died".

    So, those are all reasons that I rate the show with a superb 9.0. Now, when I'm in a critical mood and watch an episode, there are a few things that drive me crazy. Like, no matter the time, place or situation, every female character always has freshly glossed lips finely coiffed hair. Ridiculous! Then there are the clothes and costumes, particularly what the sisters often wear. Yeah, I know I am a male and ancient, i.e. not the typical demographic for this show's audience, but I know goofy and silly when I see it! And my opinions on that are backed up by my wife, who IS a woman and knows how to dress truly stylishly. Then there are the glaring inconsistencies that often pop up, like birthdates and when events happen on the timeline of family history, like Grams being the Necromancer's lover in 1933, but then a participant in the hippy/youth culture movement of 1967, with Patty implied as being a young child needing to be watched by her paternal aunt? Possible, but hardly likely in real life. Then there are the inconsistencies with the use of plot devices. Example: In "Charmed and Dangerous", the Hollow has to be banished back to its prison by a spell chanted by one good and one evil magical being (in this case, Phoebe and the Seer), but then in "Charmed Forever", the trio of good only magical beings (Grams, Patty, and Piper) do the trick. Doesn't meet the test of reliability in my book. I also don't like how characters and places of great power and importance in the magical world suddenly, and surprisingly, are introduced, like the Cleaners and Magic School. Why didn't the Cleaners intervene in "All Hell Breaks Loose", thus preventing the exposure of magic and Prue's death? Yeah, yeah, in "real life" Shannen was not returning to the show and that couldn't happen, but in the context of the show its pretty stupid, just like your're telling me that in all the years they are together, Leo never once mentioned Magic School to Piper, besides the fact wouldn't the Cleaners and Magic School be in the Book of Shadows? Oh yeah, thats another thing, the Book of Shadows is supposed to allow evil creatures to touch it, but in "Thank You for Not Morphing" the evil guy not only touches it, he picks it up and carries it to the front door! Whats up with that? OK, I'll stop now. One final thing, anyone who says the Prue/Shannen Doherty seasons are far superior to the Paige/Rose McGowan seasons is full of crap. All you have to do is watch execrable episodes like "The Wedding From Hell" and "Wrestling with Demons", or totally boring ones like "When Good Warlocks Go Bad" or "The Painted World", and you know I'm right. Also, season 8 should not have happened, at least not with Kaley Cuoco/Billie. Somehow the producers felt some "new" and "fresh" female blood had to be introduced because the Halliwell sisters were all getting into their 30s, but she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag (for reference watch her try to "emote" in "Forever Charmed" after she kills her beloved sister- I wonder how many takes they had to do without the other three ladies cracking up?), and its been noted by other reviewers, the focus went way too much on Billie.

    Have I gone on too long? Maybe, but I don't think so because thats how much I love this show, when all is said and done. How many of you, like me, have watched every episode and put down in writing a synopsis, character development, body count, concepts and characters introduced, spells and potions and powers used, etc. etc. etc.? Thats right, "Charmed Forever" indeed!

    Mostly I don't like mystery tv-shows but this one I liked very much. Until season 8. This one, I didn't even follow anymore.
    And season 7 also was not very good but beforehand it I enjoyed it.
    I started to watch Charmed in season 4 so Paige will always be my favourite but I also like Prue since I also watched the first three seasons.

    These beaus know how to fight and be beautiful at the same time! This is very appealing for youngsters and people who love a versatile show. The graphics, the makeup, the costume, and the visual displays really convey the feel of the witches. Each episode has it's own personality. Awesome!

    I love Charmed so much. When I was little and I had to go with my mom, I always by some of VCR cassettes and record every episode that I miss and I still have those cassettes even I have the whole series on DVD. I can watch them every day and I wouldn't be bored. This is the only series that I can watch all over again and I wouldn't be bored. Just like FilmFanatick said, this series will never die. never

    I remember this show! :)
    My sister has all the DVDs. the first 3 seasons were kool. I didn't like the oldest sister. Her death was so weird/random/horrible acting.
    I still don't like the new sister. But I loved Phebe! I wish her & cole had gotten together @ the end. Her ending up w Cupid (it had to be a C) was kinda random. Thye seemed to just pull that idea out last minute. They could have given him a cool name. Like Conner...

    So what endded up happening to Cole? Hes an 'angel' over everything now?

    ALso I didn't like how the VERRY ending was a random child. it should have shown them all together!

    This is a show that ended in 2006 and still has a massive number of followers. A series of magazines was published long after the show ended and a collectable series of comic books of what season 9 should look like, is currently on its 12th issue (i think). On and all, a show that will never die and people will watch it for years to come!

    Charmed has been my favorite tv show all the time...to me this show is the best show ever (in his category)...i started watching charmed almost with his beggining...at 1999 i watch my first episode...and later i couldn't miss an episode..i became an addicted!! these three girls can really introduce into a world where u dont have to think about problems or trouble..u can just relay there and be sure that u are going to spend a great hour at the tv. I just wanna say thank to the creators and writers for making such an incredible show!..a show that clearsly is remarkable in my life!..thanks holly alyssa rose and shannon..you really made my life MUCH easier!...Forever Charmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • started off great, now i want to stick a shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger when im watching it.

    "Bad"
    only reason i watch this stupid show is:

    1)ive watched all this time, i cant just stop, i gotta finish it, call it obsessive compulsive disorder.

    2)alyssa milano is the sexiest woman alive, i hope she marries me.



    season one was a little boring, i mean it set the groundwork, but the girls in peril, usually by someone they are dating, have em say a rhyme, and show a lot of cleavage, rinse, repeat, etc. and season 2 and 3 were pretty interesting. however once shannen left the show it started to go bad....real bad, they played out the cole story line, but even then it was tolerable, then once cole was gone, it literally was like the writers just got tired of writing interesting diaglogue, but instead just liked to write "show half naked woman" on the script. not that im complaining as a member of the heterosexual male gender, however its NOT why i watch tv...its why i watch PORN! this show is garbage now, absolute garbage. want to watch something interesting? watch House, watch Lost, watch 24, watch CSI, but skip this like the plague...tho i think the plague might be more suitable to me.

    "Superb"
    So if you heard the show was about three sister witches and you've never seen it before, you'd probably think it's pretty lame. That might be true to some, but the characters have grown on me, especially Piper. The characters and their development have always been a central focus of this show, which I think is why it has stayed on the air for so long. It's always exciting to see them risk their lives fighting demons and wonder how they're going to get themselves out of so many perilous situations. Their powers grow with them as they become stronger and wiser witches. Prue was an excellent older sister, and now Piper has done a wonderful job taking over. It's great that she's back with Leo. Phoebe and Paige have grown a lot also. The only problem with the show is that it is definitely deteriorating in quality. The continuity seems not to matter much anymore and the plots seem to keep becoming more dull and un-original. I won't let recent episodes ruin my overall opinon of Charmed though. Watching the old episodes should get anyone hooked on the show no matter how crappy it may get at times.

  • A show that started off kind of rocky, found it's footing, and then completely lost it

    "Fair"
    After reading some reviews, I seem to be in disagreement with most people. Well first off, the basic premise is that three sister, two of which are the best of friends while the youngest is estranged, come together again shortly after the death of their grandmother. There is obvious tension between the oldest sister, Prue, and the youngest, Phoebe, but the middle, Piper, is always playing mediator. Eventually the sisters find out that they are descended from a long and distinguished line of powerful witches and they each have inherited the family magic, but it remained dormant due to some spell-work of their grandmother. Phoebe does some reading after she discovers the old, leather-bound Book of Shadows and awakens their powers as well as finding out they are now destined to fight and destroy demons. The beginning of the series really captured the essence of the storyline. The sisters were indeed fighting demons but that was all secondary to the more pressing theme sisterhood and the importance of family. At the end of each episode the three would come together and you really got a sense that they were sisters. They are back living together in the house they all grew up in, after several years of being apart (and possibly out of contact). Prue and Phoebe start off always being at odds with one another, but as time progresses they tolerate each other more and eventually become friends again. It feels very natural. Moreover, we got a sense of the struggle the three sisters had to go through while attempting to balance their duties as 'The Charmed Ones' with their normal, everyday lives. It had all of the aspects of a good show: drama, action, romance, emotion conflict, but also had the added element of magic and witchcraft which just made it unique from other dramas.



    I think the first indication that the show was going down a less than favorable path was when they started removing the aspect of a normal life. First, the sisters stop having friends. Then, Prue has a career change from the Auction House to photography, which is completely fine except then she stops being a photographer and is all about magic and witchcraft all the time. However, they finally give Phoebe something to do when she goes to college and meets Cole. The next indication was when they killed off one of the central characters. Yes, it created a good dose of sadness and drama, but then it totally just ruined the premise of the show, because the sisters aren't the Charmed Ones anymore. But WAIT! There is actually an unknown, long lost half sister from their mother's side (meaning she is a witch)and can reconstitute the Charmed Ones. Now that is a little too convenient for my taste, but it was something I got over relatively quickly. Now Paige is taking over for Prue. The one problem is, they never completely integrated her as a sister. At the beginning, Paige didn't really know Piper and Phoebe so it was understandable that they wouldn't feel like family. But then Paige moved in with the other two and we still don't get the same feelings of sisterhood we got with Prue. She always seemed more like a friend or even an acquaintance than a sister. What also contributed to this excluded feeling was that around this time, the show really did veer away from sisterhood and focused more on each individual sister doing their own thing. I think this was a mistake, because although siblings do grow apart to start their lives, when it is clearly established that the three will always be together (since they are witches) there still needs to be that aspect. It was a rare occasion for an episode to end with the three of them together talking. One of my favorite parts of the show was that it wasn't a show for kids (more or less). The sisters battled and killed demons, malevolent spirits, warlocks, monsters, etc. At least that is what they did in the beginning. The next biggest mistake was when they started incorporating fairy tales into the story. Fairies, leprechauns, and nymphs just don't go along with the primary basis of the show. It was too sparkly and reminiscent of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. And worse, the demons went from looking like actual demons to people wearing leather... it was pitiful. Things also started getting far too convenient for the sister; at least too convenient to be interesting. First Piper gets her exploding power, which is very cool. But then all of a sudden she can just kill pretty much any demon with it; no need for a spell or a potion or any effort, just flick your hands and the demon is dead. Then they give Paige orbing... now the sisters can travel anywhere they want in a matter of seconds. I think that just takes all the effort out of demon-fighting. The biggest and most convenient aspect that was added to the show was Magic School. It all of a sudden appeared when it was convenient and is an endless source of any knowledge the sisters would want. Not to mention it brought about a childish aspect, like I mentioned before, that was far too reminiscent of Harry Potter and Sabrina. Lastly, they gave Phoebe her empathic abilities, which were just stupid. She could all of a sudden summon demons with her mind and control demons' powers and send them flying back... it was just ridiculous. But I think my biggest pet-peeve about the show was the sisters' constant complaining. They would constantly complain how being witches was completely ruining their lives. However, whenever they were given the opportunity to release their magic and become completely normal humans without any interference from demons, which has been offered several times, they turn it down every single time, just to start whining about it again. If you don't want to be witches anymore, fine! But don't pass up every opportunity you are given to lead a normal life, then complain about your choice.



    I was also quite annoying with the pointless story-archs. They lasted several episodes and then led to nothing. First it is with the Avatars. The sisters spend all this time trying to find out who they are and try to destroy them but find out they are good and they start working together to create a Utopia. Then they finally create the perfect world, but then the very next episode they decide to just reverse it all and go back to normal. Then, at the end of season 7, they decide to fake their own deaths and disguise themselves as the sisters' cousins. But that lasts only a few episodes before they reveal they were alive... It was just a pointless waste of time.



    It was a good show that overstayed its welcome and ended much later than it should have. I think the season 4 finale would have been a great ending, and honestly I could look past the complete crap-pile that was Season 5-7, if the Season 7 finale was the end. But they thought it would be a good idea to keep going for another year. And I really want to meet the person who thought it would be a good idea to replace Daryl and Leo (Leo only for part of the season) with Billie and Chrissy, the two WORST additions to the show.
  • the show is about 3 sisters who finds out that their whole family are witches and so are they.the show takes you the through the story of this halliwell sisters and what they have to go through as witches and fighting evil...

    "Good"
    prue(shannen doherty)as the oldest is very strong willed,over protective of her younger sisters and is very serious.she able to move objects..piper(holly marie combs)as the middle child is sweet,nice,non judgemental,she has a very good heart and doesnt try and fight so much with her sisters.she is able to freeze time(it dont work on witches tho)and phoebe(alyssa milano)as the baby she is very care free,like to do her own thing,go out,and just be young.she can see the past and future.each sister is strong but when they come together as the power of 3,they can kill any evil thats gets in their way.



    season 1-4 was for adults b/c it was very dark,kind of scary,comedic,dramatic and had alot of mythology on witches,demons,warlocks and other creatures the girls had to fight.season 1-4 was amazing there was barely no flaws....



    the flaws in season 1-4 wasnt alot but the flaws that did happen where the book of shadows.(its there magic book that has spells,potions and things about the magic world that has been past down form generation).it was said only the sisters can take it out the house,then it became demons cant touch it, which their is no reason 4 that change...........................



    i also didnt like the fact they killed one of the sister off and brong in paige(rose mcgowan)has their half sister to fight evil.besides those 3 things i enjoyed season 1-4 and thought it was fun to watch this sister struggle as witches.

    i enjoy them dealing with their new powers,i like when the sisters fight with each other,i enjoyed how each sister had a season surrounded them so u as a fan can see more of that character personlity. and i love how real it was for the sisters to bascially put their life on hold for the world.



    season 5-8 took a bad turn for me.the show lost its dark tone and the show became very light.(it could have something to do with that brad took over and the creator was out.)it became something that kids could watch.you can tell the difference between a woman writing and a man writing.the girls became something for people to look at.the show stop really focusiong on the story and became about what outfits can we get this girls in.i feel as a guy i cant tell a story about women just like a woman cant tell any stories about a man.i think the creator who was a woman should have stayed as the creator as the show b/c brad had no ideal how to write this women characters.joss can do a better job than what brad did to my beloved characters.



    the flaws for season 5-8 started to creep in this show like spiders.season 5-8 change alot from what you learn from seaosn 1-4.i will admit their was some good episodes in season 5-8 here and there but the show just lost it for me far as tone and story telling.i would go in to more detail but seaosn 5-8 was so bad i dont wont to turn a new fan off from this show..



    charmed is a good show if your watching season 1-4(i would give a 9 if i was judging season 1-4).season 5-8 was bad for me(i would give that a 5 if i was judging that)...i found fans that like light shows like season 5-8 more, fans who like more darker shows like seaosn 1-4 and fans that cant seem to find anything wrong with this show like it as as a whole..



    but i will say try and avoid season 5-8,and watch season 1-4.i would have never watch 5-8 if i knew it turned out that way it did but no one warn me.watch season 1-4 would be my advice.but its up to you to what you want to do.i just hope my thought on this show helps you out.

    In this show, Three sisters reunite under the same roof to find that they are witches as long as all of there maternal relatives. Prue: the late oldest sister, has the power to move things with her mind and astral project. Piper: at first the middle sister, now the oldest sister, has the power to slow down or speed up molecules, which lets her freeze time or blow things up.

    Phoebe: original youngest, now the middle, has the power of premonition, levitation, and empathy. Paige: youngest and not in the original Charmed ones has telekinetic orbing and the powers of a witch and whiteliter. these sisters will join together to fight the forces of evil. This show is great and is good for all ages.

    By far one of the best supernatural shows of it's kind. When it first started with Shannon Doherty aboard it took a while 2 find it's feet and never really had much of a story arc running thru it, up until season 3 that is. After the death of Pru and the introduction of Paige the show took a bit of a slamming. Although season 4 was my favourite and by far the darkest of all 8 seasons. Seasons 5 & 6 where very comical and a bit silly in places and it seemed 2 get back on form. Especially the final battle scene in Kill Billie Vol 2, up there with the Buffy finalie for epic episodes of tv.



    What really made this show work for me was the chemistry of the cast, even including Shannon Doherty. The humor of the show and at times the heart felt emotion really made them all click and kept me watching, no matter how ridiculous some of the storylines were. Plus it's biggest strength was it never took it's self too seriously, although some critics and viewers did. Charmed always had it's tongue firmly in it's cheek. I'll always be forever charmed :) xxx

    "Abysmal"
    Not particlualry well-written. Mostly, it's about three hot sisters who use magic powers to do stuff. They're not too bright, but they sure are cute! It's a soap opera with magic and loads of sisterly togetherness. I'm actually having trouble finding more to say about it. They get into trouble, demons hunt them (singularly unconvincing demons, though), they go evil, they come back.... no real moral dillemmas, no real acting, no real anything. Whatever. It's pretty lame. If I had magic powers, I'd sure as anything be doing a bit more interesting stuff with them - creativity is not their strong suit.

    Prue, Piper and Phoebe Haiiliwell (Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano) have more in common than just being siblings for the three girls are also the most powerful witches in the world. In the very first episode, we learn that the girls' recently deceased grandmother, Penny (Jennifer Rhodes) left them with a gift known as "The Power Of Three" meaning that between the three of them, they have magical abilities never seen before. The difficult part is accepting their powers and then learning how to use them to battle the forces of evil which seem to flow into their lives on an almost daily basis.



    The girls, meanwhile have to try and live 'normal' lives while figuring out exactly what they are and will be capable of and how being witches will affect their lives in the future.



    The series was a ratings winner for Aaron Spelling and with the three lead actresses being so well known because of their previous television experience, it was clear from the outset that "Charmed" was going to be around for a long time. Aided by Brian Krause as Leo, Dorian Gregory as Inspector Darryl Morris, Julian McMahon as Cole Turner and a host of others, the show churned out quality drama week after week. Sadly, at the end of Season 3, Shannen Doherty decided to leave the show and her character of Prue was killed by a demon. Enter Paige Matthews, played by Rose McGowan, who turned out to be a long-lost half sibling, the result of an affair their mother had with her Whitelighter. (protector of witches). It took a while for the sisters (and some viewers) to accept Paige but they obviously did because the show lasted for a total of 8 seasons and is still extremely popular among fans of this genre.



    It was always a pleasure to watch "Charmed" and it's great to be able to see it again on DVD, so, if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour and take a look, I'm sure you'll be glad you did.
  • Thought on this show.

    "Poor"
    Well these are my thought on this show. First, not the best effects. Second, Over dramatized. But, there are some positive things that will be in this so don't you worry you fans. So first i am gonna focus on the effectes of this show. All in all i cann't asy that they completely are terribile i have seen worse. But, the little things like when that one girl tosses someone across the room it makes this little like sparkly type noise i cann't explain it. That noise is kinda annoying after the thirtyith time i have heard it. But, beside that little thing taht i hate i think the rest of it is ok but they could make the hurt people patr more real i mean make someone scream loud sometime i mean the demons just kinda melt away and make no sounds is there something wrong with that?? Sorry i don't know there name my sister watches this show and i really cann't follow along that well. I also find this show to be funny at times when it is suppose to be serious.



    Second dramatization is a little overdone. For daytime televesiion i guess they decided to not look into it much but whatever. I mean the drama in this thing can kinda make it really cheesy at times. But that is all i have to say but i guess all together this is worth watching

    "Mediocre"
    Charmed is fun and, thankfully, doesn't take itself too seriously. The three sisters are in their 20s and 30s so they're not growing up and they're not quite growing old yet, they're maturing, which is unusual for a show aimed a teenagers. I find the relationships between them more realistic than many other shows.



    The magic side of things is a bit different. Some episodes are fun, others are serious. But later some got ridiculous, either changing lore or coming up with a new creature they haven't used yet. Hit and miss but mostly fun to watch.

    "Mediocre"
    Ok I know this is my first bad review but hey got to give jeers where they are due. With the exception of the pretty faces (Alyssa Milano primarily) this whole show was pretty lame. So you have a generation of witches empowered to protect the world against magics and evils...how's that different from any other show? Not to mention one day you're fighting demons and another they're trying to be Susie home-maker or some sappy sisterhood. I'll admit after watching such shows as Buffy and Angel I gave this one a shot but after the 2nd season I was displeased beyond belief. Alyssa I hope you learned your lesson, you were good on Who's the Boss but this was a career douser here. Thank God this show came to an end when it did.
  • The only show I could stand 8 seasons of! A-MA-ZING!

    "Perfect"
    I remember watching this show when I was younger, I thought it was the coolest thing. Recently, over the last few months, I've collected all the seasons on DVD. It is so amazing.



    I love the characters, especially the sisters (my favourite being Piper, Phoebe and Paige). I love Leo, he is so amazing and an essential to the show and to the sisters lives. The demons and the humans are also amazing. Every character plays the perfect role and adds to the overall show.



    I only have one compliant and that's Shannon (don't snap please, I know a lot of people love her) but she should have done a guest role in the seasons where she was dead. But, I've heard she's a b**ch, so whatever. The show is amazing nonetheless.

    "Good"
    This was the show that I always looked forward to watching when I came in from school. What more could a young girl ask for as role models then three powerful women that battle evil and prevail on a daily basis. Even with the change of cast half way through the series they still made it work. It was always good fun to watch (except for the tearful moments!) and gripping enough to make you want to keep watching. As I got older however and found such shows as Supernatural I started to notice a few flaws, the newer seasons from about 3/4 onwards the graphics seemed to get worse. Whether this was due to budget cuts or time restrictions I don't know but you could tell. There was less focus on monsters that required a lot of make-up and more on demons that looked just like humans. Despite this, even well into the 8th and finale season the storylines still held strong.

    While "Charmed" will never be the best show on television ( or better on DVD )for me, it still has its, well, charm.

    The premise seemed very interesting for me, as I love supernatural shows and am a huge fan of "The X-Files", "Buffy" and "Angel".

    S 1-3 with Shannen Doherty around were probably the best written seasons of the show. S4 introduced us to a new sister and was still lots of fun to watch. By S5 it got more and more tiring, S8 must be the worst season of any show ever on TV. I hated the introduction of Billy and her sister, they took away so much from established characters, even got rid of Darryl and Leo. What a waste!

    While "Charmed" was an enjoyable show it had its limits and could never reach the dimension of shows like "Buffy". The issues they tackled there were never really meant serious, in later seasons the most important issues seemed to be the lovelives of the sisters and what to wear.

    If someone is looking for some fluffy and lighthearted entertainment I recommend "Charmed". It is fun to watch.
