I think I was mid20. I can't remember if I watched it when the show started here. But I certainly watched it with the neurotic whitelighter from the future in 2003/4, and then I was around 24.  |

I started watching the show way back in 1998 at the age of 49, with my daughter and my 7 year old granddaughter.
It was quite the experience for me, since each year we always settle on a handful of shows to watch as a family. Although my 7 year old granddaughter was very scared of the show and was put to sleep fairly early, I still have such fond memories of her asking us who is Grams, and I joked and go you can call me Grams if you like. Fastforward to a later season, when Grams started to be featured more, and she constantly brings it up.
That 70s Episode is my absolute favourite in the series, I think you can see why given my age and why I can relate to Grams and Patty. I always get emotional during the moment that Prue, Piper and Phoebe get sent back to the present.

I see we have a few more older members on here than we realized. Looks like Tim and Es are not the oldest members now.  |

Don't you wish that that picture of Patty with the two little girls could've been part of the final wall display? |

I absolutely agree, that would of truly made me happy. My granddaughter pointed out that Shannen did not have her photo used because of budget issues i believe. So whats the excuse for using a younger actress playing Prue. |

I really don't get why we couldn't have seen Little Prue in the finale. Sure, Shannen was out of the question, but how much would it have cost to bring in a little girl to play the child version of her? At least, Prue would've had more of a presence in the episode than a throwaway line about how she was "meant" to die so Paige could join the family.  |

Having young Prue with Grams when Piper enters the past. Way more enjoyment than what we were given. Im surprised our writers couldnt brainstorm better ideas. What were they thinking? |

If the budget was really that tight, they could've, you know, scrapped that dumb flash-forward and had one of those little girls play Prue instead of Mystery Girl/Ladybug. Did we really need to see Phoebe and Paige's brats? Of course, that finale had a ton of problems beyond just the lack of Prue and needless flash-forwards. |

Not buying that the budget was that small since they were able to afford Kaley Cuoco, Jason Lewis, Ivan Sergei and Victor Webster. And the finale in particular had all those guest stars. If they had dumped Big Wyatt, Big Chris, Patty, Penny and Victor they probably could have had money left to afford some kind of Shannen appearance, whether it be her ghost, or some pictures on the wall. Personally? I just wanted the iconic photo of the three of them on the front porch slap bang in the middle of all the other pictures. That would have suited me fine.

I was a teen, and as a teenager I was fascinated by the magic that affect the lives of ordinary women and their sisterhood
Three years ago, during sleepless nights because of my twins, I was trying to relax by watching TV and I rewatched Charmed
I found that, after all these years, after the new beautiful series that I'm passionate about, Charmed preserved intact its charm for me and above all, I realized how many themes, many interesting and original ideas as a young girl I had overlooked

Before I vote in the poll, first saw or first started watching? I first say it at the age of 15, but I didn't start watching it until 23. My life was really busy when the show was on the air, what with the moving across the country thing and all, and I had no TV while I was in college.

Just about 30 for me.
I really loved Piper and her relationship with Leo - because it reminded me of my first serious boyfriend and how shy I was to ask him out much like Piper acted in early season 1. And it is quite funny how me and Piper seem to have similar situations - because he actually left and relocated too. Oh Man - did this relationship really win me over by the time of Love Hurts.

Me to. The only thing I didn't like was when Leo became Piper's lapdog and not had a mind of his own then.

I was just 14 yrs old, but already in charge of my younger sister and many other huge responsabilities, just like Prue did. Although my favorite character was Phoebe and still is of course.

I first saw Charmed during 1999, so I was a teenager and aged 16. I am the youngest in my family, so I related to Phoebe. I have two older siblings myself, but a brother and sister.
