The Charmings

I wish TVland or Nick at Nite would run a marathon because I adore this show. It was so funny. I do miss it. Tis the season to be dreaming of your prince charming which I adore the entire cast. I wonder where they all went probably into the enchanted forest...someday they will all return for a reunion.

"The Charmings" was a well written and well acted show. There were jokes on many levels. Both children and adults found them funny for different reasons. Many episodes satirized the faulty aspects of our society which we accept without question. Since the characters were people from a "happily ever after" reality, they considered the failings of our world challenges to be overcome. So the real life wisdom of classic stories was part of every episode.

It was rare to see such thought put into the writing of any show. It is even rarer now (2004) since TV producers want easily written "real life" shows which teach nothing about real life.

Sadly "The Charmings" was killed by ratings. It was far better than the stereotypical, repetitive rubbish that was scheduled against it.

This was an awesome show! Carol Huston is a very talented and beautiful actress. I could watch this show every day! The dialogue was witty. The premise of fairy tale characters living in the modern world is very clever. The talking mirror as character of the show was wonderful. I would go ogle and watch this show as much as possible. I hope they have a reunion show so that everyone can enjoy the fine acting especially of Carol Huston. I highly recommend the show. It is a very fine show. It was very fun to watch the player interaction. I could imagine myself there. This is a lot to write in order to get this comment published. I don't really have anything else to say. I am filling up space to get the 10 lines I need.

This TV Sit-com was just adorable, and Christopher Rich (Miller from Murphy Brown) was the ideal Prince Charming ! ! The idea was that Snow White, her husband Prince Charming, and their children, plus evil step-mother and her talking mirror, were thrown into modern society, thanks to a spell from the step-mother which went awry.....it was similar to 'BEWITCHED", in the sense that we had the fun of seeing our favorite fairy-tale and mythological characters come to life as a result of different spells going awry each week. Paul Winfield was a riot, as the talking mirror who threw caustic insults at the vain step-mother....(think Niles and Miss Babcck on the Nanny).....I am a-waiting for Nik at Nite, or TV LAND to re-run these...and you should, too ! !

This was truly a charming television show. The concept was new, original and very funny. There was always an unexpected twist, such as the time Lillian made a reducing potion which made the users shorter, or when she couldn't remember whether a counterfeit bill should have a picture of George Washington or Alexander Hamilton, so she used a picture of George Hamilton. The plays on words, such as being "off to seek a lizard" when Luthor's pet lizard was missing, or referring to "Peddler Tupper's Wares" were inspired!

I really miss this show. I would certainly purchase all the episodes on tape or CD if I could. I hope Nick at Night picks it up.
