6. My "three-pronged" guilty pleasure-slash-waste of quality time:
I have the complete DVD sets of The Sopranos, The Shield, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Somewhere around 9:00 PM or so each night I watch an episode. I rotate each series, front to back, and that one hour a day is my maximum TV time (I gave up cable when I moved a year ago).

:toast:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed

Charmed is an American television series that ran for eight seasons on the now defunct WB. It was produced by Aaron Spelling and is about three sisters who are the world's most powerful good witches, known throughout the supernatural community as "The Charmed Ones", but known to everyone else as the Halliwells. Each sister possesses unique magical powers that grow and evolve over the course of their lives. The Charmed Ones live together in a house they call the manor and use their supernatural abilities to battle the warlocks, demons and other evil forces that populate San Francisco, California.

The show was the longest lasting of its generation of supernatural-themed shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Roswell. It is also noted for its mixture of multiple genres (from horror and fantasy to comedy and even soap). It also had (at the time) the highest rated debut for the WB Television Network with 7.70 million viewers tuning in for the series premiere "Something Wicca This Way Comes" in 1998 (this was later surpassed with the 2001 debut of Smallville which rated at 8.40 million viewers).

The theme song for Charmed, "How Soon Is Now?" is a cover version performed by Love Spit Love. The same version was previously used in the film The Craft. The original version was written and recorded by The Smiths.

13. for a weird reason
not for the quality of the show, for that was low.


I liked the relationship between the sisters and how they were family without parents, reminded me of my home, though my mom survived her illness, its still us siblings that hold us all together and watch out for each other

although, I relate to all three on different levels. To be honest, I have never put much thought into it. It is just a fun show to relax with when I first get home from work :)

31. I've never seen an episode, so I can't rate it.
I think I'd be interested in seeing it, but only if I could rent it somewhere and not buy it without knowing what it's like. Seems like a nice show, but I just have to see if not too froo froo.
