Each season as another TV show/movie


Saw this at another site and found it interesting.

f you could label every Charmed Season as another TV series or movie, what would you pick?

And you are able to use 'Charmed' only once.

For example

Season 1: Touched By an Angel
Season 2: Charmed
Season 3: Buffy/Angel
Season 4: Charlie's Angels
Season 5: Bewitched
Season 6: Harry Potter
Season 7: Sex and the City
Season 8: Desperate Housewives


Just an example but I want to see what everyone else comes up with.

That's so cool! and Entertaining!

Forgot about The Craft! And I looved Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. In a way Sandra's character was a lot like Prue and Piper in Season One and Nicole's was like Phoebe. In fact I remember that its her evil ex-lover who comes back to haunt her/them and with their power as 'Sisters' + your average joe on the Street aka. Daryl and Leo, they vanquish his sorry-drunken ass.

Season 3 and some of 4 are very Buffy reminiscent. And I think that if Charmed swapped to UPN, like Buffy did, it would have been a better show.

I always liked the idea of Jennifer Love Hewitt playing Paige. I think it would have been an awesome revival and Shannen, definitely would have come back (well I hope she would have). No offence to Rose McGowan, but she was no Shannen. Yea, she did bring a different element to the show, one which was more comical but I enjoyed getting that from Piper and Phoebe while Prue was serious most of the time.

Bewitched as Season 5! Yes!!!!! And I think this starts as early as The Three Faces of Phoebe. The show becomes like Samantha's twitch. Anything was now possible!

Witches of Eastwick as Season 6 - never watched it but I heard it was entertaining. I said Harry Potter just because of Magic School. Supernatural could be both 6th and 7th because the focus moves from sisterhood to brotherhood.

Sabrina as Season 8. - I think I'd give Sabrina a higher grade than that! Loved Melissa Joan Hart!
I chose Desperate Housewives because it's 2nd Season was aired at the same time but mostly because of the episode Desperate Housewitches. I love this episode. This is probably one of my most favourite episodes in Season 8 EXCEPT! When Paige asks how Piper and Phoebe vanquished the Source the "first time" when she was there ALL THREE TIMES. The Big Bang Pilot could be another name for it on the other hand.

It would be awesome if all these characters appeared in a Charmed Movie one day hahahaha! With Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Love making cameos. hehe the possibilities!

I also love all of your choices, *Member #2" - even if I've only seen Practical Magic, Bewitched and Ghost Whisperer (I also wish Kern's first choice had got to play Paige...I would've loved to have seen her more like Melinda in 'Ghost Whisperer' than McGowan's ditzy Valley Girl) with no desire to see any of the others, but from what I've heard, they're great choices as far as comparison to Charmed seasons go.
