Charmed

Okay, I just watched one episode a few week ago, and that was it for me. I AM HOOKED! I admit that this show is very addicting! Now, my Sunday's night are booked.

Performances of such talented actors truly ignites the screen. Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Leo, and Cole are such great, and very talented performers. I hope this show will run for a very, very long time. I will truly recommend this show to all my friends. Thumbs up to the creator, writers and all the crew. This show rocks!!!!

The occult got very hip on television with the arrival of Charmed. The show centered on three sisters played by Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty. As the show opened these three sisters who are their own BFFs discover they're the descendants of witches. But witches like Glinda the good witch. That doesn't mean that someone usually not of flesh and blood wouldn't want to drop a house on them as all kinds of evil things are tried against one or all of them every week.

What made this show work was that these girls were quite modern. the ultimate 90s women. Young girls identified with him and men certainly would have chosen any one of them for adventure and romance.

Unfortunately Shannen Doherty as she did on 90210 was quite the behavioral problem and she left the show. Another sister played by Rose McGowan was rather clumsily introduced as we could not alter what the writers called The Power of Three from the show. When the women put their powers together, just like the Power Rangers they were unstoppable.

Reruns of Charmed are still proving popular today. My two nieces loved the show when it was in first run and still like the reruns.

This is a wonderful TV show with great episodes that, in serial fashion, depict a constant battle between good and evil. Evil, as in the Source, is very clever and wears many disguises. This is what's great about this show. Evil is never fully defeated, although the lackeys are destroyed quickly, the greater evil persists. This presents a constant challenge to the Power of Three and they must always be on their guard. Other WB shows allow the hero or heroine to win very easily and the hero or heroine is too sarcastic. Charmed, however, has the right mix of all elements and the writers appreciate that evil forces that are truly dangerous and formidable create a more rich, tense atmosphere. The fourth season was very good, and I liked Rose as Paige very much. The chemistry between the sisters also carries the show and their personalities seem real and three-dimensional, while other shows of this genre fail in that regard. This is one of the best written shows on television. It really deserves more critical recognition and respect, but if that doesn't happen, I'll still enjoy it.

The first 4 series are good, entertaining, funny on occasion, but half way through series 5 it goes downhill...fast. The stories become ridiculous, the acting is unconvincing and wooden, and the special effects are less than special.

I don't get attached to TV shows, nor collect them on DVD..... except for Charmed. The supernatural aspects of the show are fun and do not seem to be taken too seriously.

The core group of actors have a fantastic chemistry and the relationships are so well developed. I like it just as much, if not more, to see how the sisters get through situations together, both magical and non-magical.

I would dare compare the character development and interpersonal relationships as well done as in a Jane Austin novel. You see their strengths and faults.

All the actors get a round of applause. Both Holly Marie and Alyssa get a standing ovation for becoming producers of the show. Well done ladies.
