I'm probably going to get a lot of crap for this, but I let my 4 y.o. watch it. We sit down and watch it together. She'll ask questions and I answer them. I love the show because it shows that a girl can be powerful too, you don't need a man to protect you. I'm wiccan, and the show does take the magic to an extreme, but overall, it does a good job of showing that you can't harm others with magic, and that whatever you do will come back to you. Good show overall.

What Parents Need to Know
About Charmed
Parents need to know that most of the series' witchcraft and occult-related material is obvious and over-the-top fantasy. But the Wiccan (earth-bound) variety of witchcraft is also shown and hits closer to reality -- Wicca is actually practiced by some in real life. Mature relationships, violence, and characters in peril are common throughout the series.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about witchcraft. Do you think it's depicted realistically in this show? Is there any realism at all to the program? Do teens prefer the drama of the sisters' personal lives or its fantasy aspects?

Okay Show
Charmed is a fun rainy-day show. The plot and characters are half-baked, but there is enough cheesy romance and fight scenes to keep it going. The relationships, while mature, are nothing to worry about. The violence is sometimes a little much, but usually okay for teens. Younger kids won't be as interested. Bottom Line: it's fun, but not great.

I loved it.
I began watching the show when I was twelve and I immediately loved it. Really if people are afraid of the magic terms being taken to an extreme by a kid, they should decide not on age but on the maturity of the child. I loved almost every season. The fast-paced action and witty banter kept my interest. It shows the classic good vs. evil fight and then it shows how a magical family can work together...it's never boring in the Halliwell household.
