I would like to come out in strident support for Charmed and all of Spellings other works.
I just can't.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Hey, Spelling put on Honey West, and was married to Carolyn Jones (nee, Morticia).

He fathered Tori Spelling AND put her on television, so the coolness by association factor is at best a wash.

DavidS has scary amounts of instantly available information.
I missed Honey West. Possibly this is how all my subsequent opinions have been ill formed.
You know, I think Charmed could have been cool. It could have gone in a "Practical Magic" Alice Hoffman kind of direction (the book, not so much the movie). It disappointed me because of all the potential left unrealised.

Oh. Forty-one years ago I was not hip. The hipness has been all recent. Or maybe the hipness is all in the future.
Can you be be hip if you use the word "hipness"?
Maybe not.

The preferred construction is "hiplitude," Daddio.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
but were there any 2 eps that made sense in the realm of the "Charmed" universe?
Actually, I thought the early episodes did a decent job putting parameters around what the 3 sisters could do and couldn't do and the rules of their powers, etc. In the last 3 or so years, they've thrown out the "personal gain" rule, and really fucked up the storytelling. There is NO WAY that things should have transpired the way they did in the final 2 episodes. Nearly every other ep has Phoebe acting like Mata Hari or some other sexy femme fatale from the past. Ugh.
I don't demand a lot from many non-Buffy shows, but it doesn't take a lot of effort for shit to make some sense (I still watch "Alias" after all). Evil can't put their hands on the book - I don't care how awful the sisters feel about themselves.
