Amazon.com Charmed recaptured a period in the 1ate 1990s when television's WB network was particularly keen on series about the supernatural and specially-powered characters. The original home of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and future launch pad for Angel and Smallville, the WB debuted Charmed in 1998 with many of the same intriguing ironies that made those other shows click. Specifically, the greater a character's powers, the more vulnerable he or she becomes; the more superhuman, the more painfully obvious one's lonely, fragile humanity. The Halliwells, a trio of witch heroines and siblings at the center of Charmed, are a case in point. Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) returns to her San Francisco family home after losing her job, and moves in with her older sisters Prue (Shannen Doherty) and Piper (Holly Marie Combs). On her first night back, Phoebe finds the Book of Shadows left for them by their late mother and recites a spell giving all three women unique powers they were always meant to have. Prue suddenly has the gift of telekinesis, Piper can make time stand still, and Phoebe can see into the future. All well and good, but along with those extraordinary abilities comes a new awareness of dark forces in the world from which mortals need protection. In some cases, those forces have been plotting a long time to steal the Halliwells' magical legacy once they awakened to it--and now they will never let up. Indeed, the forces of the Underworld never do let up in Charmed, giving the Halliwells a major headache for the next eight seasons. Yet the show became about so much more than that, blending (again, like Buffy) the sisters' personal lives with their responsibilities as protectors and stewards of magic. Jobs, lovers, marriage, and children were just as prominent in Prue's, Phoebe's, and Piper's thoughts and emotions as warlocks and leprechauns. In fact, Charmed peaked creatively when the whole of season three concerned the fallout of Phoebe's romance and marriage to a disguised demon (Julian McMahon). The series' focus at that point was quite gripping, but it was inevitable that subsequent seasons would back off on such a singular perspective and develop a broader range of storylines. A major change in Charmed accompanied the departure of Shannen Doherty from the show at the end of season three, replaced by Rose McGowan as a fourth sister, Paige, unknown to either Phoebe or Piper. While Paige had the same mother (herself a witch) as the other two surviving Halliwell girls, her father was a so-called Whitelighter, essentially an angel. That combination gave Paige unique gifts that made Charmed even more fun (if slightly less compelling). But the loss of Doherty--the show's best actress, who gave at least one bravura performance per season--proved significant. Charmed wasn't quite the same, but it carried on, continuing to make new fans and maintaining a breathless pace and intriguing mix of the arcane and ordinary. --Tom Keogh The Power of Three on DVD  Charmed - The Complete First Season |  Charmed - The Complete Second Season |  Charmed - The Complete Third Season |  Charmed - The Complete Fourth Season |  |  Charmed - The Complete Fifth Season |  Charmed - The Complete Sixth Season |  Charmed - The Complete Seventh Season |  Charmed - The Final Season |

aspectacula February 12, 2009 CHarMedLOvEr2007 (minnesota) Where do I start? This show has been the greatest thing that has happened to TV; seriously this was my all time favorite show. sadly I started watching the show late, I noticed it one day when I was getting ready to go to school and school was postponed so everyday I would watch superman: Lois and Clark another amazing show, but it came on one day saw the first episode and I was hooked. Big time....I knew Alyssa from who's the boss so I had another reason to love the show. I really still I'm 20 now and everyday I have to watch an episode or two, love it that much, I was in tears when I heard they were closing down set and ending the show. I really hoped everyday that something magical would happen and all that I heard would be false, but it wasn't and that's when I had to buy the full set seasons, and boy was it worth every penny. Love it. Please bring back my loves phoebe, piper& page ounce again for my joy. Love yal
Charmed complete series January 27, 2009 C. Harrison (Phoenix AZ) Charmed- The Complete Seasons 1-7 Was a set of videos sent from China. Was resolved and never went back to the site I bought it at
Charmed January 2, 2009 Esteban Samaniego Item arrived on time one problem though was the wrapping it had been already torn probably from shipping but no biggies. Each season wrapped in its own wrapping didnt expect that altough were cds are held by the plastic cricle insidde its own plastic cover some of the pieces of the circle broke off. But other than that no scratches on cds or random pausing or skipping wile playng occur happy with service and product.
The Power of Three will keep you entertained November 23, 2008 Tina (New York, NY) The complete season of "Charmed" are all on DVD to watch anytime. As a HUGE "Charmed" fan one must re-live the moments where the Power of Three bewitch and protect innocents. Unfortunately there is no outer box to house all twenty seven (27) discs to display in your DVD library which is very disappointing for $120.00. The last season finale is where a "behind the scenes" or interviews are as all previous seasons DVD's does not have any "extras."
Over Priced, Agreed!!! November 2, 2008 John 117 Look don't get my wrong, charmed may not be a bad series, however its definitely not one of the best ever made. Also lets be fair, the price tag on this is ridiculous!!! I remember it used to be lower & even then I thought it was too high, jeez with the economy the way it is right now you think it would've just gone down, not UP! Plus I have heard alot of people say that the discs have issues & don't play the episodes in sequence, etc. So a word to the wise, I would hold off on this series until this outrageous price comes down & go with something alittle more friendly on your wallet like pretender or other good series, that is unless they jack up the prices on those too.
