I got on Charmed from the beginning, when I was 9 years old. I didn't get a lot of it, but hey, it was cool watching creepy monsters, sexy witches, cool special effects and funny lines. I got hooked on the show. This is what I have to say about Charmed.
First of all, I have to say that is quite an thing that Charmed is still running. I didn't had a very good start but WB never planned to throw Charmed of TV. Good thing...It's running for almost 8 years and thats extraordinary for a series like this.
I thought the first episode of Charmed was a little stupid. The Sisters turned into witches like that and I didn't find it realistic with how they dealed(except for Phoebe) with it. The next week I watched it again and that episode made me pass the 'charming' line. I saw Piper having a hard time with being a witch, Prue being growny about her power and Phoebe being excited about having powers ... and that was cool. Charmed has managed to keep the characters the same but yet always a little different each season. Although I didn't like all the characters(like Andy Trudeau) the first season was good.
Season 2 was in my opinion one of the best. The Sisters looked very good and the humor was much better. Greg Vaughan and Leo Wyatt were a good adding and I loved the romance between Piper and those two. This episode was also one of the many fights between Prue and Phoebe, Phoebe for not being responsible and Prue for being so growny all the time .. (not so weird when you're boyfriend dies, but okay).
Lots of things happened in Season 2. The Season final was great and I was really excited about Season 3. Season 3 was nearly as good as 2. Although I've read a lot about the fights between Alyssa Milano(Phoebe) and Shannen Doherty(Prue) I didn't became to worried. It was a HUGE shock when Season 3 final came and I was REALLY shocked when Prue died. She was my favorite character and I didn't understand why they've written her out of the series. I was totally confused about the show stopping, or was the show continuing? I didn't understand it at all and I was very skeptical about how they would go on with Charmed.
I am very happy how they did it. Maybe it was kinda "Yeah-Right-Like-Thats-Gonna-Happen" but I thought the thing about having another 'lost' sister was good. Rose McGowan came in the series as a new kind of Phoebe. In the beginning Phoebe was immature and liked to experience a lot with being a witch. Paige was her name and she did a good job. A very good job. Never was Charmed so dark, with the Cole thing and stuff.
Season 5 was very much like season 4. Dark, hot, romantic, sexy, charming, actioness and very funny. Paige fully made it through Season 4 and I'm happy she did. I still think it's sad that Prue die because she was the coolest(having the coolest and strongest power) but I like it this way, Piper being the hysterical oldest sister with this new blow-up power, Phoebe with the struggle of Cole and Paige being the one without love.
Season 6 was a little disappointing for me, because I really didn't liked Chris. Chris was the stupid "kid from future" who's tend to 'save' something he can't tell. Also I didn't like the adding of Magic School. Unfortunately, Magic School still plays a big part in Charmed.
Well, let's come to the latest season than. Season 7...I hope one day Charmed will be as good as Season 2 of Season 4. Season 7 is fun. But not more than that. Season 2 was fresh, cool, dark and different. Season 4 was funny, hysterical, very dark and also funny. Charmed tends to rely more on the humor, which is good, but I would like to see that sometimes the darkness will come back. I do not say Charmed is losing it's charm, because it ís still a great show, I'm just saying that IF they're getting a Season 8, please quit with magic school and replace it for the underworld.
There is another thing I really liked about the series is the humor. Of course laughing is good, but the humor is still refreshing, even if they make a joke about a hundred times. Also, what I really like about Charmed are the themes. The dressing party's(The Sisters as Vixens, Superhero's) and the "Change-Personallity" things(Piper being a Wendigo, Phoebe being a Banshee, Prue being a Dog, Paige being vampire) and stuff like that. It really keeps me on the show, every time.
Charmed is great, but I think the writing pen gets a little empty. Maybe it should be good if Season 8 would be the last season, because we don't want to see Charmed having a worst ending, like many shows have. Until then, Charmed is charming enough for me ^_^
