The Charmings

"The Charmings" was a well written and well acted show. There were jokes on many levels. Both children and adults found them funny for different reasons. Many episodes satirized the faulty aspects of our society which we accept without question. Since the characters were people from a "happily ever after" reality, they considered the failings of our world challenges to be overcome. So the real life wisdom of classic stories was part of every episode.

It was rare to see such thought put into the writing of any show. It is even rarer now (2004) since TV producers want easily written "real life" shows which teach nothing about real life.

Sadly "The Charmings" was killed by ratings. It was far better than the stereotypical, repetitive rubbish that was scheduled against it.

I grew up watching The Charmings and every time a friend of my mentions Judy Parfit, I mention the series and I have very fond memories of this programme.

It was a pity that they changed the actress who played Snow White because I preferred the original actress who played Snow White. But once the change over had occurred I only then watched it for all the other characters and I never cared for Snow White after this.

If anybody who has any copies on tape and is will to let me have a copy I would be grateful and would be will to make some kind of arrangement, i.e. payment or swap.

This was an awesome show! Carol Huston is a very talented and beautiful actress. I could watch this show every day! The dialogue was witty. The premise of fairy tale characters living in the modern world is very clever. The talking mirror as character of the show was wonderful. I would go ogle and watch this show as much as possible. I hope they have a reunion show so that everyone can enjoy the fine acting especially of Carol Huston. I highly recommend the show. It is a very fine show. It was very fun to watch the player interaction. I could imagine myself there. This is a lot to write in order to get this comment published. I don't really have anything else to say. I am filling up space to get the 10 lines I need.

This TV Sit-com was just adorable, and Christopher Rich (Miller from Murphy Brown) was the ideal Prince Charming ! ! The idea was that Snow White, her husband Prince Charming, and their children, plus evil step-mother and her talking mirror, were thrown into modern society, thanks to a spell from the step-mother which went awry.....it was similar to 'BEWITCHED", in the sense that we had the fun of seeing our favorite fairy-tale and mythological characters come to life as a result of different spells going awry each week. Paul Winfield was a riot, as the talking mirror who threw caustic insults at the vain step-mother....(think Niles and Miss Babcck on the Nanny).....I am a-waiting for Nik at Nite, or TV LAND to re-run these...and you should, too ! !

I remember the show being hilarious and trying to figure out which dwarf Luther was (out of the seven). Paul Winfield was fantastic as The Mirror. I real wish this was on Nick at Nite or I would buy this if it was released on DVD. And it was really a family show, there were laughs for adults and kids alike :) I remember liking the first Snow White and wasn't as thrilled with the second one. I had a major crush on Christopher Rich. People thought I was crazy because I always called him Prince Charming. That's when I found out that not many people watched The Charmings :( I noticed that the postings for this show are far and few in between, but if you can find this show, watch it, you'll be really happy with it.
