Good but can be better
Abi Khoo3 July 2001
A good behind the scenes look at the awesome series, the actresses were amazing and looked totally honest and really friendly. The three leads and also the other regulars were interesting and especially the writers, producers and the special effects people...it was interesting to know how the show is filmed.

It could have been better though if they featured bloopers and more funny moments...being the only behind the scenes of charmed.

It's a TV show with a great "escapist" flavor! Enjoy!
Cindy9111 March 2006
This is a TV show that offers an escape from reality. Does it deliver? Certainly. Does it offer story lines that include both family values, that dips into realms only dreamed of? Yes. This show doesn't pretend to be "Law & Order" (insert your favorite 'uptight' show name here...) and we don't pretend to be watching shows like that when we are watching "Charmed." This is a show that can make people happy; it can give people hope in the future, either real or imagined. Honestly, isn't that all that is really needed? I mean, how many 'reality' shows do you have to see before you concur that there are a lot of people out there that are just plain miserable and unhappy? If "Charmed" can make you smile, then I say, "GO FOR IT!!!!"

This is a fabulous fantasy drama with aspects that appeal to almost everybody: family values, hope in the future, belief in innate goodness. Just sit back and enjoy!!!! :)

fashions on "Charmed"
barke0024 December 2006
Charmed is fun. I don't see these 3 women as "sluts:" at all. They seem like fairly normal young Californian Americans -- just a little on the "wild" side, though. They remind me of "hippie" girls from some of the bars in Berkeley. They do appear a little too free and "loose" to us stodgy Midwesterners, however.

I must say, however, that the clothing fashions and color schemes are horrid . Phoebe in particular -- she sometimes is positively garish! In the episode where Phoebe attends a charity ball, she wears an evening gown that shows her bare legs up to the thigh. The other women were dressed in modern, tasteful costumes. She just looked cheap -- like somebody dressed like a carnival floozy! Pru, Piper, and Paige wear clothes that are more tasteful -- at least the color clashes do not hurt the eyes!

Three Powerful Women
lisamarie-521 September 2004
I am responding to what spider63 had to say about the female characters in "Charmed."

First of all, I cannot even imagine how anyone could call these ladies "sluts"--aside from the fact that "slut" is such a subjective and completely SEXIST term!

And what "irresponsible sexual escapades" are you talking about? I believe that I have seen every episode of the show, most more than once, and I think it is the exact opposite--in the first few seasons, MAYBE you could have said they were being "irresponsible" (by a pretty conservative person's standards), but the whole way you worded what you wrote (sexual escapades) makes it sound like every single episode each character was with ten different partners. That is DEFINITELY NOT the case.

And really, should it matter? *If* Phoebe, Piper, Paige--and we might as well include Pru--were real people, in the balance of things, would it really matter if they went out and enjoyed themselves sexually?

But the bottom line is that what you are saying is completely false. Don't you remember that they conjured up a "dream man" for Piper for her birthday because she was giving up on love? The only thing I can think of Piper ever doing that one might consider the least bit "wild" was with the fire fighter (was she under a spell for that? I can't remember the details). And how often does she leave Wyatt alone so she can "talk about men with her sisters"??

What you are saying is just crazy. It is a good show, and yes, they may portray Phoebe is a sex object sometimes, but she certainly does not ACT ON that sexuality. And when was the last time Paige even HAD a boyfriend? Richard? I'd like you to back up your claims, please. Or maybe you should just watch the show...with your eyes open.

what i think
ewan_mcgregor4923 January 2006
i think that charmed wasn't really that good when it had Prue in it. But with Paige its better not being mean to all you Prue fans its just better now. Most of the 3 seasons Prue was in was all about her no one else so now its spread out equally. Charmed is a really good t.v show to watch the special effects are really good. The characters are so real its great. It shows a typical family except for the witch part and the fighting demons bit. But its great to see the combination of demons,warlocks,witch's and mortals its just a great show to watch. I wouldn't say it hooks you but if you are in to supernatural things like witch's and things this is a show for you. charmed is a really good show you'll be sorry for missing just one episode.

Love this Show
whitelighter3 June 2002
I love this show from beginning to the very end, can not wait to see it come out on DVD & video in Australia, Charmed opens the mind to all possibilities, the show is full of humor, wit, love and a faith that is beyond all other, I am proud to say that I am a big fan of Charmed. Let no bad happen, Love & Blessing's, Jodie

Awful, Awful, on second thought absurd
ratwell124 January 2006
my wife is a fanatic as regards this show. That being the case I bought her seasons one through three and season four is on order. I personally think the show is one big farce the cast is equally bad. Alyssa Milano should have stuck to the other trash movies she made such as Poison Ivy, Embrace of the Vampire to name a few, the other female supporting cast members are equally inept in their portrayals. I've seen better special effects in the old Republic Pictures serials I saw as a child. I can understand why the male leads remained on the show for such short periods of time even though I don't know if it was their own choosing or not. Please. please don't renew for another season as enough is enough, Bob

Charmed
kcowank-122 February 2007
I think that Phoebe's fashions matched what was supposed to be he character's personality. In the beginning, her character was wild and crazy and careless, but also the youngest so she was pretty much acting out most of the time. So to me yes sometimes she was a little under dressed but I think their wardrobes matched their character's personalities. Piper was the more conservative middle sister, high strung and neurotic and Prue was the oldest have to grow up quicker than she wanted to so she had to be more responsible. I watched every episode for 8 years straight and if you ask me, in the Beginning Paige's clothing was a little risqué as well. She was trying to become a social worker wearing tube tops and mini skirts. But they grew up, their wardrobe's did not stay the same.

How I feel about Charmed.
tifferny12 April 2003
I liked Prue much better because of the attitude and feeling she gave out during her acting on the set. With Paige on the set now, the mood is more innocent. All of the superiority has to come from Piper now. I would have preferred Prue to stay. I am still determined to be as dedicated to the show as I was before though. I just look forward to better and better episodes.

Awesome!
dischickspimp-22 May 2000
The women of Charmed is awesome! Alyssa looked oh so cute and pretty and Shannen was her usual awesome self. As for Holly, she was just being Holly. This is a cute special, however it would've been better if they had more scenes together. I personally think that the KTLA News Special was way cuter and better..but this is amazing in its own right.
