Product description
Piper (Combs) and Phoebe (Milano), now with younger half-sister Paige (McGowan) up to speed with her powers, more or less, and "The Power of Three" all living under one roof at the Halliwell manor, are trying to get their respective personal lives in order. All the while, continuing to battle the worst evils that come their way. Oldest sister Piper and her husband Leo (Krause), the siblings' whitelighter guardian angel, are thrilled at the prospect of the impending birth of their child. Yet, dealing with a normal pregnancy is tough enough, but factoring in their unborn baby's use of her magical powers gives Piper cause for concern. Although adjusting to complexities of being pregnant and fighting evil, Piper has the added responsibility of looking out for her younger sisters and still running the Halliwell's successful nightclub P3. It's become a lot to handle coupled with possessing the trio's strongest power exploding an object or demon at will in addition to the power of freezing, but Piper has proved she's more than capable of carrying the burden. While middle sister Phoebe's career is on the rise, the same can't be said of her romantic life. Recently employed as a popular gossip columnist at a local newspaper, she's gained notoriety for her work, but she's trying to finalize her divorce from Cole (McMahon), the part demon/part human who became "The Source" (the greatest of all evil) and was vanquished, only to cling to life because of his love for Phoebe. Finally over her love for Cole, she's ready to get on with her life without him, unfortunately, after resurrecting himself, he's determined to prove his love for her by trying to do good. Phoebe's martial arts skills, her ability to levitate, the power of premonitions and her skill at making potions have helped vanquish many a demon. Youngest sister Paige has gone through quite a change in the past year with learning of her true heritage, then becoming adept at utilizing her powers of orbing herself and objects at will and getting used to having a family again. Raised by adoptive parents who died while she was still in high school, Paige was used to being a loner, but now she's proved to her sisters that she's up to the task of being one-third of the Power of Three. When it comes to good old fashioned police help, Inspector Darryl Morris (Dorian Gregory) is always there when the sisters need some aide or advice. As "The Charmed Ones," the three most powerful good witches to ever exist, the Halliwell sisters defeated "The Source" but now face the existence of powerful evils still prevalent and looking to defeat them. As Piper, Phoebe and Paige continue to wage war against all evil, they seek to strengthen their sisterly bond as they get closer to fulfilling their destiny.

 I wish I could do magic May 23, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Sometimes I feel jealous because they're beautiful and they can do magic. They have the power of three. Come on! Why can't I have one too.
I have been a fan of Charmed since the first season. Every episode is fantastic. Charmed, Angel, and Buffy are always be in my collection shelf.
 I'm Sick of Wyatt and Chris May 22, 2006
1 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've been a Charmed fan since it's inception, and I'll admit, some of the episodes have been a bit much, but quite frankly, unless you are really interested in seeing just how "normal" the lives of the charmed ones can be, the babies just don't belong here.
When Cole was dropped (and how could see vanquish ANYONE that looks like Julian McMahon??) and Wyatt added, it gave Piper a haus frau image that most of us didn't want her to have, and made bad girl Phoebe too good to be true. It was disappointing.
I was sorry to see the show finale last night (and I'm sure I'll buy all of the seasons DVDs), but at least there was a "they lived happily ever after" ending. The really sad part of the whole thing was that the only way the three super powerful witches could be happy was if they were married and had children. All of the demonstrations of female empowerment - shot to hell.
Only if you're a committed fan, otherwise look for something else May 17, 2006

I've got seasons 1-4 on DVD already, but am hesitant to buy this one. The mix of the first 3 seasons with Prue making up the original 3 charmed ones still on it were the best to me, season 4... ok, out of curiosity to remember all about Paige's arrival.
It's been a bit below that level since the days of Cole's departure & kind of lingering without a lot of clear direction or focus. I used to have to watch Charmed every week for the first few seasons, now I don't really care if I miss it & it's a struggle to sit through an episode without getting distracted.
Curious that this DVD set doesn't get released until June in the US, here in NZ this set has been available in the stores since late March, and I saw season 6 appear on the shelves last week too.
Love the series May 16, 2006

Just a big fan of the series and sad to have it come to an end. If it's your type of entertainment you'll thoroughly enjoy it. Start at season one and work your way through.
Better Than Buffy! May 9, 2006
3 out of 8 found this review helpful
Many people may be shocked that I say that. I, being a fan of both shows and seeing every episode of each, have come to the conclusion Charmed is better. This season may be the start of a small downhill slide but the show crawls it's way back up by the end. Each episode better than it's last. Buy this.(Even though Paramount won't put on special features) It's still worth the price! This is the best show on television and at least season 8 will have extras!
