Of course, I put in my favorite character as well. What fan would I be if not for him?  Anyway, it's still mixed here but the last ones are clear for me.  |

I am, too. One of the funniest episodes - I made sure to choose all of the comedic ones ("Chick Flicks", "Sin Francisco" and "Sense and Sense Ability") since that's truly when I love Charmed the most. Yes, those are definitely some of Charmed's strongest points. Always thought "Sense" was one of the best loved season 5 episodes, certainly is for me... funny, decent premise, good villain. Thought it'd be in the top 3. You and me both, but I guess we guessed wrong... |

Like a lot of the alternate titles, they're the ones that The WB came up with to try to make them seem sexier for the promos. I'm not sure, but I think WIT is TheWB's title. I know "Naughty Nymphs" as compared to "Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun" is TheWB's title. That is odd if WIT turns out to be the WB promotion title, since I'm pretty sure that's the title used in the UK as the title for the episode. Looking at Charmed Wikia, WIT is the title, MWaM is the WB promotional title. "Witches in Tights" is the actual title, "Magic Wears a Mask" is the WB's... one of the rare occasions where the WB's title is better IMO. The only one in tights was the Aggressor anyway. I also prefer the WB's "Blind Sided" and "Fantasies in the Flesh", as opposed to "Out of Sight" and "My Three Witches". "Fantasies..." could sound vaguely like a porn flick, but I prefer it on this occasion just because I don't get what the actual title has to do with the episode. I'd also probably go with "Valkyrie Vixens" over "Valhalley of the Dolls"... they're both awful, but I think the former is slightly less embarrassing to say out loud. |

The only WB title I like is indeed "Magic Wears a Mask". The rest just makes me think The WB was trying to make it sexier than it was for the promos. I like "Valhalley of the Dolls" based on "Valley of the Dolls" and Valhalla. I prefer the play-on-words title over the soft-porn titles. They sound like something from the Playboy Channel, not Charmed. |

The rest just makes me think The WB was trying to make it sexier than it was for the promos. I'm certain though my memory is wrong, that magic wears a mask was an early title but it it changed. Titles for episodes change all the time and even at the last minute. In Australia sword in the city was known and promoted as Queen Piper I. And muses to my ears was known as the sistership of the ring. Its a bad bad world was known as nice girls, nauty girls. Yeah not a fan of some of the titles WB ones. There's a lot of episodes I didn't like titles for. |

It would've been fun to have one called that - although I don't think that fits "Muses to My Ears" - that title fits that episode so well. |

The promo was misleading in trying to make it be based all on the ring and not muses. Still was creative. I think there's some international promos that didn't do the WB style promos. If only I could see them again. UK had some good ones too. I loved the season 3 promo to promote season 3, it made the season look promising. When they made it all about saving innocents etc. |

Only foreign language I know (and just a little) is German. |

Thank you for that - how I wish Season Four could've been more like that with Prue not forgotten.... |

I know, its interesting because not showing Prue in promos only was a USA issue, international promos can show her all they want. If only I didn't throw out some of my old charmed tapes from recorded, but alas I'd have no idea how to upload them off an old video unless I used my camera to film the tv. But again I dont own VHS anymore. But there were some great promos, I liked better than USA. Even ones UK did too, that I saw online many many years ago. I'm glad you liked it. |

You just proved why saying that Shannen Doherty was behind Prue not looking like her in the comics makes absolutely no sense. If that was the case, the international promos after Season Three couldn't show her either. Part of why I love Prue but don't like Doherty. |

It does makes no sense doesn't it, I dont let the legal and issues around it. Especially since Prue's image can be used on international promos, Charmed Magazines and DVD's. Maybe the rights for her image truly were a charmed while in production and WB thing. As for the comics, I have no idea. Yeah I do love Prue more than Shannen. However she did admit nobody asked her about her image in the comics, so either they are too scared to ask, or she charges a big fee for her image. I dont get it. |

**bump** for new members and those who haven't seen this thread, given how much discussion I've seen in the past month since I wasn't on.

Hey West,
Do you have a post created for Seasons 6, 7 and 8? This was such a great idea. I'm now compiling all my favorite episodes so I can watch them everyday while I'm on my cross trainer!

I didnt get around to them, as i was waiting for others comment and vote the other's. I might just start threads for the rest when i can find time. Theres also some other threads on options on charmed like favourite era and periods plus favourite era for the sisters if your interested. Its ashame there isnt a mod here as a whole forum sub devoted to polls and favourites is just what we need. |

I picked only one episode for this season, Cat House.
However, that's one more than I picked for Season Eight.
