1. How long have you been a Charmed fan?Since October 31st, 2001. My first episode was 'All Halliwell's Eve'. My birthday falls on Halloween. But one of my cousins who was a Charmed fan at the time insisted for me to watch it with her and told me I'd like it. They were running three episodes back to back. But since it was my birthday she'd agree to do what I wanted to do and she could just call her sister to record tonight's episode. So I originally passed on it and she agreed to watch what I wanted. Well we did end up sitting down to watch a show I wanted to watch but my cousins younger brother was playing with the remote and changed the channel and the Charmed ad popped up promoting Charmed calling it a Halloween themed night of magic. I gave in and decided to join them.
I was hooked after seeing them play The Witch is Back, Chick Flick and All Halliwells Eve. I don't think S4 had started yet here so I had no idea about Shannen being fired and all that drama. So I ended up having to find a way to get copies of the seasons to watch. I'm very pro watching in order. And was determined not to ruin my experience by starting at S4 whenever that started here.
Long story short I finally managed to get copies of S1-S3. That S3 cliffhanger left me so in shock. When I started S4 I was in tears I was furious that they killed Prue. I was so upset I didn't want to keep watching. Part 1 ended with Paige running out the manor, and all I could keep saying was "RUN away as fast as you can and don't come back fake Charmed One." Eventually I decided to go back and give the show another try. I did come around to liking Paige, but something was always lacking. I still missed Prue.
2. Have you seen (a) every episode more than once, (b) every episode at least once, (c) most of the episodes, (d) fewer than half of the episodes?B. 3. Do you still watch Charmed (on TV, online, video or DVD)? If yes, do you watch (a) every day, (b) once or twice a week, (c) a few times a month, (d) a few times a year?D. 4. How long have you been in the online fandom?
If you are talking about Charmed fandom online then I think one/off since 2003. But online fandom in general I'd say a little before 2003 maybe in 2000 for other fandoms. 5. How do you feel about the finale and the way the show ended? (a) loved it, (b) liked it, (c) had mixed feelings, (d) disliked it, (e) hated it?Disliked it. I don't get the praise for it. What's so good about it other than bringing everyone back but Prue and the flashforwards. 6. Rank the seasons from most to least favourite.Season 1 > Season 3 > Season 2 > Season 7 > Season 4 > Season 6 > Season 5 > Season 8 7. Your five favourite and five least favourite episodes?five favorite 1. The Witch is Back 2. Chick Flick
3. All Halliwells Eve
4. The Good the Bad and the Cursed 5. A Paige From the Past
five least favorite 1. Dream Sorcerer (I hate this one, it gives me the creeps as someone who was preyed on like Prue.)
2. Sight Unseen (It gives me the creeps as someone who was preyed and stalked on like Prue.)
3. Marry Go Round
4. A Call to Arms
5. Forever Charmed
8. Your favourite characters (as many as you wish).Phoebe Melinda Prue Andy Cole Darryl Matthew Rex Zankou Barbas Enola Ruth The Seer Eva 9. Which romantic pairings do you like? (pick as many as you like)Prue/Andy Phoebe/Cole (up to Charmed and Dangerous but S4 first half overall) Melinda/Matthew (the curiosity in me for more backstory how Melinda got attracted to him and they both have great chemistry the actors) Uncommon ships/joke ships: Phoebe/Kyra Phoebe/Enola Phoebe/Zankou Piper/Andy Paige/Cole Prue/Cole 10. Do you read and/or write fanfiction? Any particular type? Do you follow any of the virtual seasons?I have. I'll have to come back with a list. 11. Are you a fan of any other witch themed shows?Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Salem, Witches of East End (ahead of its time, It was the better Charmed successor show than the reboot  ), Witches of Eastwick. 12. What are your other favourite shows, if any?Classic Doctor Who FC The Champions Salamander Public Enemy Two Summers Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel Once Upon a Time Supernatural Sense8 Smallville Babylon 5 The X-Files Arrow Supergirl (Season 1-4 only) Superman and Lois Lucifer Ghost Whisperer (Season 1-4 only) Star Trek the Original Series Star Trek: Enterprise No Ordinary Family Modern Family So Weird (Season 1 and 2 only) Survivor Ancient Aliens V Orphan Black Chuck Chambers Now and Again 13. Are you male or female?female 14. What's your age group? (a) under 15, (b) 15-21, (c) 21-30, (d) 30-40, (e) 40-45, (f) 45-55, (g) over 55, (h) none of your beeswax.D. 15. What is your occupation?Nanny
16. What country are you from?Brussels, Belgium 17. How did you hear about the Charmed cafe?By asking google this question: most popular charmed forum These were the results in order: So Charmed Cafers pat yourself on the back for being the first website choice via google. I'm shocked Reddit is so far down on the search list. But I hear bad things about reddit. But apparently I hear its the most popular forum-like media around today. 18. Do you like the early or later seasons of charmed. a) Season 1-3 b) season 1-4 c) season 5-8 d) all of them e) a mix of both
I'll think more on this.

I'll think more on this.
Wow! I loved reading your introduction post! Welcome, newbie!!! There's lots to do here, so I'm sure you won't get bored anytime soon.
I find it spectacular that Charmed aired those 3 episodes for Halloween! I think I'm gonna have to start a tradition of watching those 3 episodes every Halloween  . For uncommon pairings, I'll admit I've never seen Phoebe & Enola LOL!
Also, like Aaeiyn mentioned, nice to see another "So Weird" fan! But also, Witches of East End, Supernatural, & Modern Family caught my eye! I just started, binged, and finished Modern Family! (I'll PM you about whether you think Hailey should've ended up with Dylan or Andy😂). I haven't seen anyone mention No Ordinary Family though, and like WoEE, No Ordinary Family was WAAY AHEAD of its time. Sucks about your disdain for Dream Sorcerer and Sight Unseen, but I completely understand that it's triggering for you. How do you feel about S2E12 Awakened? One of my favorites! (I'm a fan of the dramatics 😂) Again--- Hey, Howdy, and Welcome to the Charmed Cafe!

Yeah, it's a show that often gets overlooked. I got into it because here they promoted it as a version of the X-Files for younger viewers. Thank-you. 18.

I'm glad you had fun reading it. I enjoyed filling it out. I still need to add to it and update. But that can be done in time. I'm sure I won't get bored anytime soon. I hope you enjoy it as much as I will. I do like this set of episode pairings. I'll likely watch them again during Halloween month. I could add Kill Billie Vol. 1 but I have to be honest to not liking the episode enough to include it. Looks like I'm the first with Phoebe & Enola LOL! I was thinking nobody heard of "So Weird". Glad I'm not the only one. I hope you liked Modern Family. I'll check out your PM when I'm ready and caught up here. No Ordinary Family was such a fun show. I liked it because it was a family of people with powers for a change. It was quite a different premise than having one star with powers or siblings. Like WOEE it was ahead of its time so much. It really upsets me how many shows don't get a long life and yet there are so many on that I go "Why are you still on air. You suck." Thank-you. I guess everybody is different. I'm sure there is a triggering episode out there I love that others can't. I do enjoy the episode, a few things that annoy me like the voodoo doll and Leo being able to heal Piper. But the moments seeing Piper sick in hospital just feel so raw and real. That I almost wish this episode had been used in S1 to give Holly time off with Piper sick in hospital for more than one episode. I read that Holly had surgery and needed time off and why she spends Love Hurts sitting in the attic. But maybe it was too on the nose since Holly was in hospital, so they didn't do it. Thank-you. It's good to be here. By the way seeing that gif of Chris and Wyatt made me realize just how much more attractive Chris/Drew is when his hair is short and we can see more of his face. LOL Thanks, Chrisaholic. I trust Chris is your favorite character.  I am having fun already. |

I enjoyed reading your introduction post. That's so cool that you're birthday is on Halloween. I'm jealous of that Charmed marathon they played with those episodes. I'll have to do the same one time on Halloween or close to it. I'm surprised the Charmed Reddit wasn't the first result from google. Nice to see the Charmed Cafe is first. So there are other Charmed communities than here or on Reddit. I've never heard of some of the others but they might be smaller ones. Another So weird Fan. I'm currently making my way through S1 for the first time. I never saw the show. I'm surprised since it is the kind of show I'd have watched growing up. It just slipped past me. I do like some of the other shows you listed. Welcome to the Cafe! |

1. How long have you been a Charmed fan? Since around 2000. I missed the first couple of seasons and lived with my Gran at the time and we only had one TV so I only caught an episode here and there. Once the series ended and I was married at the time, my then husband got me the entire series on DVD in the Book Of Shadows. Needless to say, I have watched it a LOT.
2. Have you seen (a) every episode more than once, (b) every episode at least once, (c) most of the episodes, (d) fewer than half of the episodes?
A- I have rewatched the entire series dozens of times.

C- I have a lot of mixed feelings. I cry every time I watch it. I wish the series had continued a while longer and when they decided to do a reboot they would have carried on with the original characters. It just felt like there was so much more that could have played out.
6. Rank the seasons from most to least favourite.
I like them all pretty much equally.
7. Your five favourite and five least favourite episodes?
Again, I liked them all pretty equally. I'm easily entertained.
8. Your favourite characters (as many as you wish).
Piper is my absolute favorite, then Phoebe, then Paige and Prue are tied. Leo and then Cole.
9. Which romantic pairings do you like? (pick as many as you like)

Paige & Henry
Prue & Andy

Stay at home Mom to my special needs little boy and live-in caregiver for my Dad who is in a wheelchair.
16. What country are you from?

Welcome KristinMarie~ !!! Glad to have a new member here, and I'm sure you'll love the Cafe!
Wow, you've died a few times? That's insane. Crossed over, too? If you're comfortable speaking on it, I'm intrigued to hear/read about your experiences as you crossed over. No pressure though! I love your Bruce Lee quote & I'm THRILLED to have seen House M.D on the list of shows you like (as I'm sure Prue's Feather would be happy to see it, too! She got me hooked on it this year 🤣) Again, welcome, and enjoy!
