I watched the first few episodes of Charmed because yay girl power and yay pagan-y goodness. But the show managed to offend me rather quickly by going through books of ancient gods and goddesses and going "Oh, that's a cool name, let's give it to a demon." Seriously, Hecate was a demon who comes to earth every 200 years to find an innocent man from a well-born family to get her knocked up? And Kali was an evil sorceress who was cursed to chill in a mirror? Way to offend part of your target audience, Charmed. So I stopped watching. Then while I was flipping through channels a couple years later, I landed on Charmed without realizing what it was. And there was this hot demon guy who was struggling with his dark side and I was hooked. :) And then the show went to hell after Prue suffered Death-by-Alyssa and the writers started turning the sisters into tramps and performing character assassinations on everyone and killing Cole off and I still watched because occasionally there were good moments like Drake and I still liked Piper and the Wyatt and Chris stuff was good when the COs weren't running around in their underwear and bitching about their sacred duty and don't get me started or I will froth.
