Its why Charmed ended for me after season 4, since it felt like a natural end with the source dead. I felt season 4 was rushed because they were unclear it could go on without Prue. Season 4 should of been all about Paige and the source, then season 5 cole/source and the seer. That's exactly what happened. The Dark Phoebe story was meant for Season 5, but the ratings collapsed in Season 4 and put the show at risk for cancellation, so Kern rushed the original Source's vanquish and crammed the Dark Phoebe story into late Season 4 just in case. If "Witch Way Now?" felt like a series finale, it's because it was supposed to be one. (And, if only it had been.)

If Charmed had stopped then, perhaps it would not be the punchline for a many a joke today.
Yeah, we'd lose the Charmed Sons, but we'd also lose the Stupid Magical Community, Not!warts, Phoebe's baby quest, Piper moaning about a normal life, Piper dating, Witchstock, the Avatars, the Cleaners, etc. An acceptable trade off.

No harm to me, I could live with all of that. Dam that sucks as, I wished we got what was originally intended. So the 100th episode and Cole's last episode was suppose to be long live the queen wrapped up, and the phoebe/baby story and seer for the remainder. How that would of been great.

Yup, that was the plan. I presume that the pregnancy story we got with Piper in Season 5 would've happened with Phoebe, instead. Of course, this storyline had actually been in planning before Shannen was fired and was originally going to happen at the start of Season 4. However, the need to introduce Paige made them put it off for Season 5, and the ratings collapse forced them to bump it up to late Season 4.

And of course that's the reason why Charmed virtual series are usually much better than the original - you don't have to worry about what's going on in Real Life and you know exactly how long your series is going to last.

Very true. They are great. I wished that is what happened. Prue going in 4, ruined things, just one more season would of had things able to flow properly. Plus I'm cool with pipers pregnancy delayed as later as possible, but season 6 would of made more sense with Holly's child in real life.
