Watch Charmed Season 1

[Melissa Russian]

Iwas watching charmed and in the middle of the episode, it stopped working, then when I went back it only shows that there is 2 episodes of season 3 available. However on the main menu it is still showing that there should be all 8 seasons. What is going on?

Users have been asking for some run-time indicator (how long content will be available for) for quite awhile. I am seeing some random notifications/occurence of this in my content searches ("available to be streamed until such and such date and time") so it actually may be a feature that Roku is developing/working on. Right now it is very random when it occurs.

Alyssa Milano is keeping tabs on what her kids watch, and that includes her hit '90s and early aughts series, Charmed. Milano took to TikTok on Monday to answer a fan who asked her if her kids have seen Charmed and what they thought about the bewitching series if they did.

"No, they have not seen Charmed yet, my children," Milano revealed while the show's theme song, "How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths, played in the background. "For many reasons, one of which, I kiss a lot of guys on Charmed. So many guys that are not their dad. So many guys, so no."

Milano went on to reveal that she did let her daughter, Bella, 7, whom she shares with husband David Bugliari, watch the trailer for her new film, Brazen, and based on her response to that, she decided Charmed was definitely a no-go.

"Also, I let Bella watch the trailer of Brazen, because obviously I wouldn't let her watch the movie, but I let her watch the trailer, and she said, 'Mommy, I can tell you were fakin' that kiss,' which I think she was calling me a bad actress," Milano shared.

"The other reason, she is seven, and all she wants to wear are belly tops," the 49-year-old actress continued. "That's without seeing Charmed. And I'm constantly like, 'No, you don't want to wear a belly top.' So, could you imagine after she watches Charmed, when she's like, 'Mommy, you wore belly tops!'

"When I think about the '90s...you watch reruns of Charmed, and I'm running around in like a bra and underwear for 80 percent of every episode," Milano explained. "We had to be scantily clad in order for that show to be a hit."

While Milano said she's still so very proud of Charmed, she didn't always have the easiest time on set, especially when it came to her co-star, Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Shannen Doherty. After years of tension between the two during the show's eight seasons, Milano said she and Doherty are now "cordial."

"I would say we are cordial," she shared. "You know, I could take responsibility for a lot of our tension that we had. I think a lot of our struggle came from feeling that I was in competition rather than it being that sisterhood that the show was so much about. And I have some guilt about my part in that."

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary practice of social distancing, Netflix has introduced a new feature: Netflix Party. Netflix Party allows viewers on multiple accounts to synchronously watch a TV show or movie, simplifying a difficult task teen-me used to attempt with my internet friends so we could watch anime together. Cool!

After that day I, like the the Charmed Ones in pretty much every other episode, was possessed. I kept thinking about these three sisters who discover their magical destinies after losing their grandmother, and engage in a seven season-long battle with the forces of evil. The pieces I remembered seemed hilariously dated or just outright silly, like a knit halter top Prue wore that stuck out vividly in my mind, or the episode where Phoebe describes sex to a teen by sketching eggs and sperm on the back of her homework sheet. I needed to revisit this show, and look at it with fresh, adult eyes. As I did, I quickly realized that this campy, trope-y series was begging to have its own drinking game.

Season 4, Episode 4: Womb Raider

This episode delivers on its incredible title. Also, I think anyone who watched the series when it originally aired remembers evil pregnant Phoebe. Evil Phoebe always has special hairstyles and extra weird outfits! I think this time around she gets micro bangs? Gotta love evil Phoebe.

Season 5, Episode 9: Y Tu Mummy Tambien

When I first drew up all my memories of Charmed, I could only remember sweaty, struggling-with-good-and-evil Cole. Friends, I completely forgot about snarky Cole, who makes fun of the sisters and is hilarious. He also wears something I refer to as his Sadness Bomber Jacket, and Phoebe wears a terrible belly dancing outfit.

Season 7, Episode 8: Charmed Noir

This is another rare episode where the creators lean extra hard into the silliness that made the show fun. There are some great pieces of dialogue in this one.

Season 7, Episode 10: Witchness Protection

DEMON CORDELIA! Charisma Carpenter, AKA Cordelia Chase from Buffy, plays a demon who is fun as HECK, definitely bisexual and has chemistry with Phoebe. This episode, and the mini arc of the season, feature Oded Fehr, yet another actor from The Mummy.

Charmed is an American fantasy drama television series created by Constance M. Burge and produced by Aaron Spelling and his production company Spelling Television, with Brad Kern serving as showrunner. The series was originally broadcast by The WB from October 7, 1998, until May 21, 2006. The series narrative follows a trio of sisters, known as The Charmed Ones, the most powerful good witches of all time, who use their combined "Power of Three" to protect innocent lives from evil beings such as demons and warlocks. Each sister possesses unique magical powers that grow and evolve, while they attempt to maintain normal lives in modern-day San Francisco. Keeping their supernatural identities separate and secret from their ordinary lives often becomes a challenge for them, with the exposure of magic having far-reaching consequences on their various relationships and resulting in a number of police and FBI investigations throughout the series. The series initially focuses on the three Halliwell sisters, Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano).

Charmed achieved a cult following[1][2] and popularity on The WB with its first episode "Something Wicca This Way Comes" garnering 7.7 million viewers, breaking the record for the network's highest-rated debut episode.[3] The show's ratings, although smaller than rival shows on the "big four" networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox), were a success for the relatively new and smaller WB network. Charmed went through several timeslot changes during its eight-season run. During its fifth season, the show moved to the Sunday 8:00 pm timeslot, where it became the highest-rated Sunday night program in The WB's history.[4][5] At 178 episodes, Charmed was the second-longest drama broadcast by The WB, behind 7th Heaven. In 2006, it became the longest running hour-long television series featuring all female leads, before being surpassed by Desperate Housewives in 2012.[6]

The series has also received numerous awards and nominations. In 2010, The Huffington Post and AOL TV ranked Charmed within their joint list of "The Top 20 Magic/Supernatural Shows of All Time," while in 2013, TV Guide listed the series as one of "The 60 Greatest Sci-Fi Shows of All Time." Charmed has also become a source of pop culture references in film and television and has influenced other succeeding television series in the same subgenre. The show's success has led to its development in other media, including a video game, board games, soundtracks, novels, and a comic book series which served as a continuation of its narrative. According to data research from The NPD Group in 2012, Charmed was the second-most binge watched television series on subscription video-on-demand services, such as Netflix. A reboot series of Charmed, featuring different cast members and characters, premiered on The CW on October 14, 2018.[7]

Before Melinda was burned at the stake, she vowed that each generation of Warren witches would become stronger and stronger, culminating in the arrival of three sisters ... the most powerful witches the world has ever known ... the Charmed Ones.

By the end of the first episode, each sister learns that she has a unique magical power that allows them to cast spells and brew potions. Prue, the eldest, has the power of telekinesis (the ability to move objects with her mind), and in season two she develops the power of astral projection (the ability to be in two places at once). Piper, the middle sister, has the power of molecular immobilization. As she grows more proficient, she learns how to freeze only certain people or objects or body parts, as she wishes. In season three, her powers evolve further, as she is able to cause evil beings or objects to explode using her hands as a development of her powers surrounding molecular movement. Phoebe, the youngest of the three, initially possesses the power of premonition allowing her to receive visions of the future and later of the past. She later develops the powers of levitation in season three, and empathy in season six, the latter allowing her to sense and tap into others' emotions and, sometimes, powers. In accordance with the series' mythology, witches' powers are tied to their emotions.

During the first two seasons, the sisters face various evil beings from week to week. However, in the third season, they discover that their ultimate enemy is The Underworld's demonic ruler, The Source of All Evil. Eventually, Prue is killed in the season three finale by The Source's personal assassin, Shax (Michael Bailey Smith). While grieving for their older sister, Piper and Phoebe discover that they also have a younger half-sister, Paige Matthews (Rose McGowan), who had been the secret love child of their witch mother, Patty (Finola Hughes), and her "whitelighter" (guardian angel) Sam Wilder (Scott Jaeck). Paige's magical abilities represent her dual heritage as both a witch and whitelighter; like Prue, she possesses a form of telekinesis, but she has to verbally call for objects to "orb" (teleport) them to their intended destination. As she attempts to control the two sides of her ancestry, Paige also learns how to orb herself and others, and to heal others with the touch of her hand; she eventually receives her own whitelighter charges to train and protect as they learn witchcraft. Paige can also "glamour", shapeshifting into a different human appearance.
