Mine too will only be S1-3.
It’s just the little things that I love.
In DMD when Phoebe actually went and got a JOB just especially to buy Prue a birthday present. How hard both Phoebe and Piper worked to make sure she had a good birthday. Piper and Mark. Just that entire episode really!
Phoebe in general is adorable, she’s so tactile with her sisters.
FFTE where it is revealed that Phoebe’s biggest fear is to lose a sister, and how Prue conquered her biggest fear to save Phoebe.
WPIIA is the funniest episode. ‘Is there a Prue in there also? Which one?’ ‘Oh I don’t know, it could be the upstairs bathroom hogging Prue, the downstairs bathroom hogging Prue, or the sitting in the kitchen drinking all the coffee Prue’ 😂😂😂😂. ‘Blue Prue’ cracks me up. ‘Maybe I shouldn’t pet the help...’ 😂 and Piper ‘I’m not talking to that clone. I am NOT Talking to that clone!!’ 😂😂😂
TFS - I love Phoebe and Aviva. I actually kinda wish Aviva had hung around.
And of course not forgetting SWTWC where even though Prue is still furious at Phoebe, she can’t help but bring up some more blankets because ‘this was always the coldest room in the house’.
The first 3 seasons were just the greatest.

In fact, If they ever came back, I'd want them to forget Season 4 - 8 and pretend that they all survived AHBL.
But then, I would only want SD, HMC, AM, BK, JM & DG to return.

That's what I've always wanted, too. Let S4-8 just be Piper's dream as she's in a coma after AHBL and she wakes up 20 years later...that would've made my millennium! Unfortunately thanks to the problems between them, that's never going to happen. If we want to see Classic Charmed 4-8-less, it will be either via fanfics or an actual reboot with different actors. That's why rebooting (not a continual) makes no sense until there's at least one full generation between the end of the classic show and the start of the new one - and that wouldn't be until 2026 - and actually preferred to happen a generation after it's done being repeated on cable, so those watching it wouldn't remember the classic show at all. |

Some of my fav moments:   One of my favorite moments between Paige and Piper. Very natural.  Avenging Prue's death with the new Power of Three. Poor Paige looks freaked out.  Paige's expression in this scene  Such a beautiful moment My ultimate favorite moment. Poor Phoebe  Although I must reiterate that I do prefer the original set of sisters.... this is a memory for me that reminds me of the height of all the drama and the nice closure that ends Coles storyline and avenges Prue's death. Even though Prue isn't in this episode, you still feel her and the impact that she's made on Piper and Phoebe and who they had become up to that point.
The idea that the most carefree fun loving sister is corrupted and then comes back from it, the middle sister is still struggling to be the oldest and the youngest is staying true to her identity, saving innocences the same way she would be if she wasn't a witch while also co-sharing the leadership role with Piper to get Phoebe back.
That scene right at the end is the last time I ever see the sisters so intimate and for me, this is where the series finishes, if not, then at Womb Raider just before Cole's voice is heard again.
The sisters up until that point show how the indifference, diversity of thought and skill strengthens their union and the feeling of Prue is still certainly alive.

While I love the first set more, I absolutely love the season 4 dynamic of the new set of sisters. The teamwork of Piper and Paige, learning to trust each other and work together while their family is being ripped apart, gets me every time. And it's crazy to think about where Phoebe was at the beginning of the season—welcoming Paige, trying to get a job, being the middle sister/mediator— and then thinking about how she ends up in such a bad situation, a completely changed person. I don't like most of the season for the effects it has later in the show, but I love the dynamic of the sisters there.

Amen. But that's when Holly and Alyssa became producers and suddenly we had idealized versions of them rather than ones based on Connie and her sisters. Although I will always wish we could've seen S4 done with the original set, had they ended the series with 'Witch Way Now', it really would've been a fantastic series. |

If I'm too critical of it, it's because I love it so much that I hate when it's bad because of what it could have been or how things could have been better. I don't love any other show nearly as much as this one. |

Favourite memories and scenes:
- The end of the Pilot when the three walk up the front steps and into the Manor together, and Prue closes the door.
- All the comedic scenes in The Fourth Sister
- The end of Prewitched where Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are hugging on the couch:
Prue: "Yeah, I mean, I know we can't be together forever."
Piper: "But it feels good that forever isn't today."
- "Who are you?"
Piper (to Paige): "I'm her sister."
- When Leo heals the P3 sign and Paige finally feels fully accepted of her place.
- After The Source is first vanquished, Leo, Piper, Phoebe & Paige are sitting in P3. "For Prue", they say as they clink their glasses.
- When Cole tries to call Phoebe's phone in Saving Private Leo, and the answering machine picks up and scares him as he was hiding from everyone in the Manor. It always makes me laugh.
- The robotic baby scenes in Black as Cole
- Phoebe & Piper when Phoebe moved out in Repo Manor

My favorite memories are:
1. There was a scene early on in Season 1, I think it was the first episode or maybe the second, where Phoebe and Piper are talking in the attic, and Piper is talking about how everything is different and she's worried about being evil, and Phoebe says Piper is the most caring person she's ever known.
2. Prue bringing Phoebe blankets in the first episode, because her room's always been the coldest.
3. Piper and Prue talking at Quake, and Prue says Piper has total after glow and is clearly happy for Piper since she's found a man she loves and is happy with.
4. The sisters vanquishing Jeremy at the end of Something Wicca This Way Comes.
5. Piper and Phoebe visiting Prue in the hospital at the end of Dream Sorcerer, then Andy coming in with food Prue likes more than the hospital food and a rose, and then one of the sisters plucks a rose from a bouquet and makes it clear he got it from those.
6. Prue and Piper in the diner in That 70s Episode.
7. Phoebe and Patty outside the diner in That 70s episode.
8. The sisters at the park after they took their grandmother's car and kidnapped themselves.
9. In Morality Bites, when the sisters are at the window watching the neighbor let his dog poop in front of his house and he doesn't clean it up, and then they try to teach him a lesson.
10. In Heartbreak City, when Piper and Prue are on the couch, talking about how Jack and Dan are scum.
11. In Heartbreak City, when Phoebe is mixing a potion and Cupid is behind her and stirring, and it looks like she's starting to fall in love with him.

Also, I liked the scene in Season 5's Sense and Sense Ability where the mime and people at the fair are mocking and laughing at Phoebe for being on her phone too much. It seems like everyone's on their phones or watching tv so much these days, and I kinda miss the days where you had to actually, you know, talk to people in-person.

While I love the first set more, I absolutely love the season 4 dynamic of the new set of sisters. The teamwork of Piper and Paige, learning to trust each other and work together while their family is being ripped apart, gets me every time. And it's crazy to think about where Phoebe was at the beginning of the season—welcoming Paige, trying to get a job, being the middle sister/mediator— and then thinking about how she ends up in such a bad situation, a completely changed person. I don't like most of the season for the effects it has later in the show, but I love the dynamic of the sisters there. Mmm Yes very true. I think I could have tolerated it in Season 4 and then for her to have a fresh start in Season 5 where she still continues to be the mediator between an independent Paige and a more conservative Piper. I could have still seen Phoebe work at the Bay Mirror in Season 5, but it be less celebrity focused. And having her single again, focusing on the craft, recovering from guilt/depression would have been great |

And having her single again, focusing on the craft, recovering from guilt/depression would have been great Phoebe really needed a personality reset in season 5. I think it would be best if she quit the Mirror and focused more on witchcraft, mourning Cole and their child, and coming to terms with her role of being evil those past few months. But I also wouldn't have minded if she had stuck with the paper to an extent. I don't want her to be a celebrity at all, or even give advice. But I would have just wanted it to be some part-time job there where it wasn't about her personally, just to give her a way to make a little money and have something else to focus on. Phoebe needed a job where the focus was on others and not herself. I think she would have made a great social worker if she hadn't turned selfish. |
