Charmed began in 1998 and the final episode aired in 2006, Charmed has also been voted the longest running show with an all female cast lead.

The seasons feature a great cast line up who have made charmed what it is today, they all played very unique charactors to Charmed and we had 8 years to watch them grow from early 20s to mature women who made Charmed better from season to season with a fantastic final episode that almost had me in tears as I had to say goodbye to a show that I loved so much.

Charmed has a very dedicated website to the show at http://www.thecharmedones.com

Shannen Doherty (Seasons 1 to 3)
Holly Marie Combs (Seaons 1 to 8)
Alyssa Milano (Seasons 1 to 8)
Rose Mcgowan (Seaons 4 to 8)

Here is a run down of the 8 seasons

Season 1 - 6 disks

Protecting the innocent, vanquishing evil, The Halliwell sisters, discover what they are and are thrown into a world of supernatural evils. As the learn to use and control their powers their battle has only just began. Evil warlocks, demons, ancient curses, Grimlocks, and Wendigos are just a few that you will see

Season 2 - 6 disks

Although this season is seriously lacking in true drama, it is still an entertaining season of the show. This is not one of my favourite seasons personally, but there are a few episodes on there that are pretty good, but most of those are good because of the entertainment part of it rather than drama and carefully worked plots. It is very much a 'demon of the week' season, & there is not alot of character development or exciting story parts

Season 3 - 6 disks

This to me is when Charmed really started

Get the tissues out for any Prue fans as she bids farewell to Charmed as in the final episode she meets her end

In this season Piper finally marrys her true love,leo, she looses her faith in the Elders, goes to her high-school reuniun, teams up with a demon, then dies .

Also Phoebe gets a little childish, hooks up with her futre hubby , betrays her sisters, becomes pure evil, gets involved with a cowboy fight, hooks up with a cop in the back of his van, then finally looses her sister! Overall one of the best sesons for me

Their witch secret is exposed to the world

Season 4 - 6 disks

Welcomes Paige into the series, the half sister that was placed into care to not ruin the power of 3. She has now been discovered as Prue lost her life in season 3. The opening episode to this is fantastic with some real emotion played from Piper. Charmed is now taken in another direction as the cast line up has changed with the new sister.

This seasons features the charmed ones battle and destory the source, the big bad one.

Season 5 - 6 disks

I think this season is really fun & lively & a great exploration of the characters. The avator story was great and there was some mystery to the story with.

Paige had settled into the show by now very well. Its nice to see Piper becoming very motherly too.

Season 6 - 6 disks

The sixth season of this great supernatural drama is packed full of mystery, magic & gets quite dark with the evil elder Gideon & the chis-wyatt storyline.

Season 7 - 6 disks

One of my personal favorite seasons

This season is full of memorable episodes including 'Something Wicca this way goes' & 'Imaginary Friends' which includes Wyatt's future self turning evil. Its all about the battle & the thrilling climax of Zankou gives us that boost to be cheering Piper, Phoebe & Paige on to defeat him! This season is definetly worth 5 stars & make sure you watch this season!

Season 8 - 6 disks

The final season takes Charmed in a very difference direction, more like a sex in the city with Phobe talking over the show.

Its a fab season as we see the charmed ones face the ultimate battle with Billie, there are a few funny classic episodes in this but the final 2 are by far the best as Charmed seems to turn into a blockbuster movie as they pull out all the stops when the house explodes killing Phobe and Paige in a dramatic episode that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Again get the tissues out for a very rollercoaster of a season with the final episode been acted out in such a fantastic emotional way as we see the cast really show us what they are made of and why they made charmed their own.

Will it be happy every after for the charmed ones. Will they defeat the ultimate battle?

The best way to find out if you dont already know is to simply watch it all oh if you watch closly in near enough most of the episodes you can see the mistakes they made. If you collect the charmed magazine and DVD it shows you in each magazine what to look out for. Most of them would be missed with the blink of an eye.

Charmed provides hours of endless viewing and can be watched time and time again. I can sometimes sit and watch it for hours on end, though I have seen the episodes 20 times over I still cannot get enough.

The seasons have a total of 48 disks providing over 70 hours of viewing pleasure.

Charmed in the UK can now be collected from most newsagents which features a magazine and dvd every 2 weeks. Each disk contains 3 episodes, but its an ideal collection for anyone who cannot afford to pay outright for the seasons and costs £7.99
