Charmed has some good points and bad ones. One thing I wished the show would have developed is it's own mythos. It's seemed like it took lore from a bit of everything. We get Vampires,leprechauns,faeries(a horribly cheesy episode),giants,werewolves,banshees,Valkyries and Harry Potter a bit with the Magic School. I wish they could have developed their own stuff a little more with the history of witches and the Nexus and the Avatars were interesting but they didn't really go as far with them as I think they should have. Rose McGowan was excellent.I was never a fan of the one note Shannon Dorehty. Also, Cole(Julian McMahan) was fantastic. He was the bad guy you loved to love.

Well... I love the show (don't get me wrong, it's not nearly as good as Buffy and Angel).. But I think it's pretty entertaining.. I've only watched the first and second season..but I'm getting the third soon

I've been watching Charmed for years. I have seasons 1-6 on DVD. I really love it. I still need to buy Seasons 7 and 8. That will come in time. I know alot of people compare Charmed to Buffy, But I don't think it's that simular. There are alot of differences.
I remember Buffy got mentioned in the episode "The Power Of Two": Prue: I hate cemeteries at night.
Phoebe: I hate cemeteries at day. (She hears a noise) What was that?
Prue: Probably a zombie or vampire.
Phoebe: Great, where's Buffy when you need her?
I thought it was pretty cool that they mentioned Buffy. Anyone who mentions Buffy or anything from the Jossverse is good in my book!

I honestly think Charmed should of ended in atleast S5 cause s6-s7 we're just really stupid and I blame that on the scumbag Brad Kern. I think Joss hates charmed cause on some commentarys he makes funny comments but can you blame him? If I could have been the one to choose between Alyssa and Shannen I would of chosen Shannen for lots of reasons. 1.Amazing actress.(Alyssa is to but Shannens better I think) 2.Great director. 3.My favorite sister in S1-S3 And so much more. I would of loved for the show to end in a cliffhanger cause it just would of been awesome! I hope Charmed movie happens some day so it can redeem itself and maybe even have Shannen. BTW if anyone is interested Alyssa and Rose have twitters twitter.com/Alyssa_Milanotwitter.com/Rose_Mcgowan1

i thought Rose McGowan's was fake?
and i saw this video like 2 years ago and thought it was an amazing idea for a Charmed movie... though it will never happen. the girls left cuz they didn't wanna be on the show anymore. oh no! the audio got disabled!
but the basic storyline is: The Plot is that a troubled elder goes back five years to the past and shows Prue a future where she doesn't exist. Knowing that changing the future will cause Piper and Phoebe never meeting Paige, so she goes along with her unfortunate death. Now, five years later, an elder brings her back to life; giving her a new identity and another chance at life. But what happens when Prue misses her family? The Charmed Ones are about to witness a great gift that will come to them soon! Destiny for Prue Halliwell is about to be given a second chance.

I really like Charmed too. Sure it's not as good as Buffy, but it's entertaining in its own right. I'm halfway through the series, and need to go out and find Season 5. Personally I like Prue better than Paige, but that's mostly because I find Rose McGowan extremely annoying.

Yes, it is more fantasy-oriented, but the relationships seem more real and solid in Charmed. wow, that's something you don't hear every day

I thought we already had a Charmed thread too. I have always been a huge charmed fan (even before Buffy). I have seen every episode like 2million times and could answer any Charmed question. After season four the show took a bad turn. It got quite tacky to be honest but I still liked it. Shannon was the best in my opinion. When I watch season 1-3 it feels like I am watching a different show than 4-8. After season 3 shannon isn't the only person that left, the creative director left too I think. That explains why everything is so different once Rose pops up. Season 1-3 was legend and solid, seasons 4-8 were good but sometimes tacky.

Constance(Creator) was gone after S1 but was just a consultant for S2 and I believe S3 also. She had creative differences with Brad Kern. What the hell it's her show fire the dumbass douche but no she quit.

What the hell it's her show fire the dumbass douche but no she quit. Well that certinly explains it. You can acutally sense small differences between season one and two. And then when she left altogether its just got much worse. If Constance had stayed imagine what the show could have achieved. I think Brad Kern tried to make Charmed into a mixture of Fantasy and tacky American Sit Com. Season One of Charmed is legend, solid, great acting, good storylines and no big mess ups or continuity errors. Season two are three had no continuity errors either. The other seasons start to contradict and change everything that was built from seasons 1-3.

Constane M. Burge was a part of the show in seasons 1-halfway through season 2. She left writing because she wanted Jenny to be a witch and Brad Kern knew that everyone hated her and wanted to write her off... and then she "consulted" from halfway through season two through season 4.

I can't remember who, but I know that I heard someone on the show didn't think that the Cole/Phoebe storyline was a good idea, since they had just had the whole Leo/Piper troubled romance and thought that it would be too much like that one so they left. Personally, I didn't like the romance at first, but then in the middle I loved it and then I didn't like it again when Cole became the Source.

this is true: it might've been Aaron Spelling because Julian McMahon was originally only supposed to be around for 4 or 5 episodes and was supposed to be vanquished when Phoebe was supposed to but didn't vanquish him and told Prue and piper she did.... But Brad Kern made it happen.

It was Constance who didn't like the Cole/Phoebe relationship. I thought it was really messed up how the creator of the show left, while some dude who got to tagged along stayed. Season 1-3 felt like it was in a dark place, but you could see in the dark. Season 4-8 it was more lighted, but you were blinded by the light. Basically Seasons 1-3 were way better than 4-8. The only thing I didn't like was the almost every episode revolved around Prue and almost everytime, Prue is the one saving the day.

I hated it when they killed off Charisma Carpenter's character. She was SO hot too. Phoebe, Piper, and Paige really ticked me off when they acted like it was no big deal. She was a demon who wanted to become human! Thats an innocent in my book.

I don't know why I ended up in this thread since I haven't thought much about Charmed in a while. But, as someone who has seen every episode, I don't think it's really a "good" show--it's just "okay" for my tastes. If they created some, I don't know, original ideas it wouldn't have been so bad. For the most part it came off as kind of kitchy and cutesy.
Still, I enjoy watching it from time to time. It's kind of funny, but doesn't even come close to Buffy-quality.

Charmed is okay. The plotlines do not have the depth that Buffy had IMO, but I def still watched every episode. How do you not watch 3 hot women fighting evil?

Charmed is a bit of a guilty-pleasure of mine. It lacks the depth of Buffy, but it still manages to entertainment me enough that I own all the seasons on DVD.

I love this show,not as muches as i love Buffy ,but some episodes were great . The first three season were my favorites,because i find them more focus on the demons vs good witches ,than the rest of the show. When Prue died,it's like the show turn into something else,something more focus on the love/life of the sisters than on their destiny as witches . But,despite of that,i find it cool and funny,when you wanna relax after college or work^^

If you watch it for fun and don't nit pick much you'll love it but if you don't you'll find tons of plot holes and stupid things.
