When the beautiful Halliwell sisters inherit a house from their grandmother and discover a secret "Book Of Shadows," they learn that they each have a unique power. The strong-willed Prue (Shannen Doherty) can move objects, reserved Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is able to freeze time, and the uninhibited Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) sees the future. Individually, each is strong, but it is only by putting aside their differences and banding together as the "Power of Three" that they will be able to protect the innocent and vanquish evil.

My Thoughts:
This is one of my all time favorite series. It is one I never missed. Being completely hooked from the pilot episode till the series finale eight years later. While I really like all the actresses playing the sisters... my favorite has to be Holly Marie Combs. A shame I haven't watched her in much of anything since. All these years later... after multiple viewings... I find myself just as much hooked on the series this time around as I was the very first time I seen it. Granted it has been three years since I watched it. While I really enjoyed each and every one of the episodes here in the first season... I do have my favorites. Some of my favorites from season one include...

- Something Wicca This Way Comes
- Dead Man Dating
- The Wendigo
- That '70s Episode
- Deja Vu All Over Again

Now that I completed the first season... I am anxious to start the second season. Only 7 more seasons to go to watch the entire series again!

My Thoughts:
Another season of one of my favorite series down. Much like the second season... there is things I like about this season and things I didn't. I am glad that P3 isn't as big of a part of the series as it was last season. The main thing I didn't like about this season... is it is the season where Cole was first introduced... and while I know he is a popular character with the fans... I never liked him. But despite him... I still enjoy the series very much. Some of my favorite episodes from the third season are...

4. All Halliwell's Eve
9. Coyote Piper
10. We All Scream For Ice Cream
15. Just Harried
22. All Hell Breaks Loose

Next up is season 4 which introduces half-sister Paige Matthews... a character that I did like!

My Thoughts:
I just finished the fourths season. This is the season that introduces Rose McGowan as the girls half sister Paige Matthews. While I miss seeing Shannen Doherty... Rose McGowan still impressed me. I remember when this series originally aired that I was concerned with the change in cast... but it didn't take long for me to embrace the new Power of Three. It was actually a very smooth transition that didn't hurt the series at all. We still need to put up with the character of Cole Turner... my least favorite character in the entire Charmed universe. Matter of fact he will still be in about half the episodes of the next season as well. I will be so glad to get past his episodes. Favorite episode of the season?.... hard choice, there is so many very good episodes... but I will have to go with Bite Me. You really shouldn't be surprised by this... after all it is an episode dealing with vampires. Just like all the previous seasons... no extras offered in this set. Matter of fact only the last season has any extras.

My Thoughts:
This evening I finished off the 6th season. While this season has a lot of very good episodes in it... it don't have quite as many as the previous season. Drew Fuller is added to the main cast this season as Chris... a witch/whitelighter from the future there to save baby Wyatt from turning evil. Which is the main storyline for this season. Picking a favorite episode from this season is near impossible as I liked so many... but some of my favorites for this season include...

1. Valhalley of the Dolls, Parts 1 & 2
10. Witchstock
13. The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell
14. I Dream of Phoebe
20. Witch Wars
21. It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Parts 1 & 2

Unfortunately there is no series related extras in this set. But the episodes themselves are more then worth the money you would have to pay for the set.

My Thoughts:
Here it is... the final season of Charmed. I went through this season so fast... in just a few hours over a day. Come to think of it... I went through the entire series pretty quick... 8 seasons (178 episodes) in exactly 3 weeks. That averages out to 8 and a half episodes per day! This is my 4th time watching the series... and I loved the entire run this time as I did the first time I saw it.

Good new this set (is the only one that) has extras! There is a few commentaries as well as several featurettes. Including a featurette where they actually interview fans of the series. A strange thing about this set is that they did not use the theme song for the opening of the episodes. They have for every previous season... but they don't for the last season? Oh well... I always skip the episode openings anyway. One thing that bugs me about all the sets of Charmed is that there is no play all function. I know how difficult is it to click the next episode once it goes back to the menu...but it can be a pain. Especially when you keep forgetting where you set down the remote... like I did many times!

This season Kaley Cuoco is added to the cast. She is well known for playing Penny on The Big Bang Theory. Kaley plays a young witch that The Charmed Ones take in and teach the craft to. This is one time I just can not pick favorite episodes... as I loved every minute of them all. I especially loved how they ended the series. Episodes like Forever Charmed is how all series should go out. It gives a great sense of closure for the series. No unanswered questions. Just a sad goodbye. If there is anything I would change if I could. It is how the final episode brought back so many familiar faces from previous episodes/seasons... but they couldn't get Shannen Doherty to make an appearance. The final shot of the episode was of a bunch of family pictures on the wall as they followed an Piper and Leo up the stairs... and they couldn't even use a picture of her on the wall!?! It is a shame.

Over-all I can't say enough good about it... loved every second. After watching all 8 seasons I actually find myself a little sad that I don't have any more to watch.

My Thoughts:
This is a set I just had given to me... an early birthday present. Never seeing a single episode before getting the set. I found it to be a pretty good series... but far from great. The show actually had to grow on me a bit to get the 3.5 rating I decided to give it. After the first few episodes I was thinking between a 2.5 and a 3. But it did start growing on me. And would probably had grown on me some more if it wasn't such a short first season. But I did end up enjoying it enough to want to get the second season and complete the series. I liked seeing Melissa McCarthy in something earlier in her career. I only know her as one of the stars of the sitcom Mike & Molly. The set has a few nice extra features. I didn't listen to the audio commentary (on the pilot) yet. B ut I did check out the blooper reel and deleted scenes. Both sections was a little shorter then I would  normally like. And the blooper real... which is usually one of my favorite extras... left me disappointed. It was nothing more then some of the cast members getting fits of laughter while trying to do their lines. And then very few of that. Over-all I would say this is a cute show... but don't expect too much from it.

My Thoughts:
What to say... well let me start out by saying I bought this set in 2005 and season 2 in 2006. I watched them both as soon as I got them. Then somehow the show dropped off my radar.... and I never bought any more season. Late last year I was able to luck into seasons 3,4 & 5... free! But never got around to watching them. And I never watched this series as it aired so never seen the episodes at all. I decided it was time to watch them... but since it has been about 7 years since I seen the episodes I decided I better start from the beginning again. After watching the first couple discs I found out I was going to be lucky enough to get season 6 for my birthday... completing the series for me!

Watching these episodes reminded me how good this show was. It took no time at all for me to get totally hooked again! I find the storyline so interesting that I just can't stop watching! So many twists and turns! Maybe even too many as I end up having a hard time keeping it all in my mind while watching. It seems like no sooner they reveal one answer it leaves you with two more questions. The cast is very good... don't dislike anyone's performance. There is a lot of likable characters here. I like Jack... I like Claire... I just plain get a kick out of Hurley.... and Locke is great for keeping you guessing.

Now I need to get myself through season 2... that way I can work my way to the episodes I never seen before. I hear this show starts to get increasingly weirder from season 3 on. Hopefully not too weird! I also heard that the series finale was less then satisfying. So while I am enjoying this series very much at this point... I am preparing myself to be less then pleased as the series goes on.

My Rating: 4.5/5
