The show made it, especially because of Buffy. Producers could see that putting female leads on a TV show can work and be successful. And it wasn't just successful. The light hearted tone of it, made it an easy watch. The jokes, the characters and the bond between the sisters made it all work perfectly (kind of like a charm if you will ... and one pun has to be made at least with a title like that).
Until one inciting incident occurred of course. I can only imagine that those unaware watching this, will be shocked to say the least (or rather those who watched it back then). A major change during the course of the series. But if you have or had no idea what was going on, you couldn't see it coming. Whatever the case, the change kind of worked, even though we slipped into soap opera territory, where a new character got introduced hat was never mentioned before. Kind of something Buffy did too at a certain point of its run.
But even if you think it worked in its favor, at a certain point the show just started jumping the shark. It actually did it so many times the shark must have gotten dizzy and probably drowned. In all seriousness though: A certain point was reached, were the internal logic of the show got compromised. Head shaking or not is up to the viewer. You might not care about certain stuff and still be able to enjoy the romp as it moves along. Compared to what we get served nowadays on TV this lacks a lot. What saves it from total failure is the charm of its leads (yes another pun) :o)
A reboot is in the talks right now, but I doubt any of the original cast will be involved in it
