1. What is Charmed?
   
   

   Charmed is a drama about three sisters, Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) reuniting to live in a San Francisco home that's been in the family for generations. The sisters soon learn of the history of witchcraft in their family and discover their own special magical abilities. Prue has the power to move objects (telekinesis), Piper can stop time, and Phoebe can see into the future. Together they are known as the Charmed Ones and will protect the innocent and all that is good.

   
   
   
   
2. Where can I get a copy of the original pilot?
   
   

   The original pilot was completed and was shown at the Television Critics Association in the summer of 1998, so there may be copies circulating around. It's currently unknown if it was shown in a test market to see if there would be any public interest before it debuted nationwide in October of 1998. Going by another Spelling series, 90210, where an actor was replaced and parts of the show were redone before the series was first aired nationwide, it's unlikely Spelling Inc. will release the original pilot for public viewing. Spelling has yet to release that original version of 90210.

   
   
   
   
3. Where can I get a copy of a certain episode?
   
   

   Not from me. I do not have any way of copying my Charmed tape collection and I will not loan my tapes to anyone. So please don't ask. You can however, try asking on the message board on this site, see the link on the left side of your browser window. Someone may be willing to make you a copy for the cost of the video tape and shipping. Just be careful when dealing with people that you don't know, some people may just take your money and not deliver. If possible don't send cash, use a personal check so you can possibly track the person down if they cheat you.

   
   
   
   
4. What is the best episode?
   
   

   Opinions on this will vary from person to person, but going by the post show polls I conduct after each new episode, these were the ten highest rated episodes by the fans watching the shows and responding to the polls. The number after the show title is the rating based on a scale of one to nine, nine being the highest:
   
   

   1. 1.17 - That 70's Episode (8.17)
   2. 2.02 - Morality Bites (8.11)
   3. 3.22 - All Hell Breaks Loose (8.07)
   4. 1.21 - Love Hurts (8.07)
   5. 3.15 - Just Harried (8.01)
   6. 1.15 - Is There a Woogy in the House? (8.00)
   7. 1.12 - The Wendigo (8.00)
   8. 2.12 - Awakened (7.95)
   9. 3.05 - Sight Unseen (7.95)
   10. 3.04 - All Halliwells' Eve (7.94)
   
   
   Polls conducted at the end of seasons one, two and three fans where asked to select which episode they thought was the best of the season. The number after the top three episode titles for each season are the percentage of people that voted for it:
   
   

   Season One
   
   

   1. 1.17 - That 70's Episode (26.59%)
   2. 1.22 - Deja Vu All Over Again (16.85%)
   3. 1.21 - Love Hurts (8.99%)

   
   

   Season Two

   2. 2.22 - Be Careful What You Witch For (11.56%)
   3. 2.12 - Awakened (11.22%)

   
   

   Season Three
   
   

   1. 3.22 - All Hell Breaks Loose (21.89%)
   2. 3.04 - All Halliwells' Eve (10.33%)
   3. 3.09 - Coyote Piper (9.81%)

   
   
   
   
5. What is the worst episode?
   
   

   Again opinions on this will vary from person to person, and some will probably wonder how anyone can say that any episode of Charmed deserves to be on this list. But by the post show polls I've conducted after each new episode, these were the ten lowest rated episodes as selected by the fans watching the episodes and responding to the polls. The number after the show title is the rating based on a scale of one to nine, one being the lowest:
   
   

   1. 4.04 - Enter The Demon (6.83)
   2. 2.06 - That Old Black Magic (6.84)
   3. 3.10 - We All Scream For Ice Cream (6.85)
   4. 4.10 - A Paige From The Past (6.85)
   5. 4.06 - A Knight To Remember (6.86)
   6. 4.09 - Muse To My Ears (6.91)
   7. 4.05 - Size Matters (6.92)
   8. 1.11 - Feats of Clay (6.97)
   9. 2.21 - Apocalypse, Not (6.98)
   10. 4.15 - Marry-Go-Round (7.03)
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Are the episodes available on video or DVD?
   
   

   Currently none of the episodes are available on video or DVD. And there is no officially known plans for any of the episodes to be sold on video or DVD in the near future.
