Editorial Review:
This Boxset contains all 8 seasons of Charmed. CHARMED explores the relationship between three siblings, who after discovering that they possess magical powers, are reluctantly thrown into a world of supernatural evils. Phoebe, Paige and Piper must keep their identity as "the Charmed Ones" secret from the world, with only themselves to rely upon.
Description of Charmed - The Complete Series:
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

Charmed - The Complete Series Reviews:
What works is great. 
2009-11-07 - What we have been able to see has been great. So far #1 on disc 1 and #3 on disc 4 have not played. Am still watching season one and hope there won't be any more that won't play.
aspectacula 
2009-02-12 - 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
2009-01-02 - 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
2008-11-23 - 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."
