Charmed: Season One

Charmed: Season One
[DVD Charmed]

Charmed was a TV show that aired from 1998-2006 about three sisters who were witches and came into their powers when their grandmother died. The entire first season is about them learning how to use their powers to fight demons and save innocents. Meanwhile they're trying to live normal lives but magic keeps getting in the way. There's a lot of humor to the show, and some great special effects. The first season stars Shannen Doherty as the eldest and most stubborn sister, Prue, Holly Marie Combs as the middle and caring sister, Piper, and Alyssa Milano as the wild child sister, Phoebe. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Supernatural -- the TV series starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles about two brothers who also kill demons, or "Hocus Pocus" which is about another group of three sisters who are witches - though they are the evil kind.] -- recommended by Carrie K. - Bennett Martin Public Library
