Good point. I mean if a demon attacks them, fine, destroy it. However, no one said they had to go hunting them down. Let the Winchester boys do that

The sisters didn't go looking for evil except when Phoebe got a premonition or something attacked them and they truly cared about innocents then which's what should've happened the whole 8 years frankly.

Remember how broken up Piper was when the Wendigo killed Billy. She cared.
In the later seasons, when an Innocent died, it was "Meh, who cares?"

Let the Winchester boys do that Demon hunting was never even their "mandate," to begin with. Their destiny was to save and protect innocents. It was only later on, around the time 90% of bad guys became generic music video rejects in black leather shooting fireballs, that the show became all about demon hunting, aka. Buffy Mark II.

This would be around the time Kern seized power. He must have thought "Well, it works for Whedon, I'll work for me." Never mind that Charmed and Buffy were two totally different shows will different rules and concepts. What worked on Buffy would not work on Charmed, and vice-versa.
Too bad Kern didn't get this.

Yeah, and it was already happening even as early as Season 3. Just think of "Wrestling with Demons" or those cheesy fight scenes from "Blinded by the Whitelighter." It only got worse in the later seasons.

Of course, S3 was the season that first listed Constance M. Burge as a "Creative Consultant".
Translation: You can make suggestions, but you no longer have any creative control over the show.

Still, if there was a red line in that concept, it was certainly gone after S3 or S4 when the Source was vanquished for good. Okay, marriage and children are parts of a normal life, yet with being a witch defined as normal, the same way still applies, right?

That would have been S4. They should have stopped there.

That would have been S4. They should have stopped there. Especially if Prue had returned for the season. "Witch Way Now" (with Prue) would've made a great series finale. Four solid seasons with the original trio wouldn't have been bad at all.

If that had happened, Charmed might be better remembered today. The later seasons really damaged the credibility of the show, IMO.

And it seemed that the logic went out as well.

It's not wrong for the sisters to crave a normal life. However, it was wrong for them to actively strive towards that normal life, and disregard their duties as the Charmed Ones. The sisters should have understood that they're allowed to want normality, and shouldn't allow their duties as Witches to take over their lives (A valuable lesson from Prue), but they shouldn't have neglected their roles all together! Phoebe's baby-craziness, Piper's desire for a normal life, and Paige's desire to branch away from her sisters, were all perfectly fine things to want. However, they should have tried harder to balance being Charmed, and being people.

As many have said, if the sisters wanted a normal life badly enough, then they should've taken the Angel of Destiny's offer in "Witch Way Now." They only have themselves to blame for not having a magic-free life.
