Charmed (1998-2006) - Blu-ray Forum

There seems to be an uptick in YouTube reactors watching Buffy and Charmed lately. I've been watching some and it's interesting seeing the show through their eyes.

Back in the day my city didn't get The WB until Charmed's third season was about to start, if I remember correctly. I was a big Shannen Doherty fan so I was excited. I bought homemade VHS tapes of the first 2 seasons off of ebay and binged it. I was obsessed. Then the ending of Season 3 happened. Season 4 started and I was confused and pissed. I didn't know about the backstage drama. I also had joined Television Without Pity at that time and it got me through the show and was fun as well.

For me Seasons 1-3 were my favorite. 4 had some great episodes and I liked Paige/Rose. 5 is where it started to get crappy. 6 had some pretty good episodes. 7 was ok and 8 was awful.

My biggest issues were the writing and showrunner Brad Kern. Making Holly and Alyssa producers. I hated the Phoebe character with a passion. She went downhill when they introduced Cole.

The last season should've been about the sisters, but they introduced Billie and it was just bad.

I haven't bothered with the Season 9 & 10 comics.

What are your thoughts?

If you want to listen to some funny Charmed podcasts on YT, check out Allison Pregler's "Charmed is a Mess" and now her "Charmed Rewinds".
And of course, Holly, Drew and Brian have the "House of Halliwell" podcast. The new ones that had Shannen were good and it's sad that we won't get to have more with her.
