I've tried Charmed, it comes on TNT after Angel in the mornings. And I SWEAR I've tried, but it just doesn't do it for me. I feels "fluffy" (and not Wannabee-Slayer type fluffy). Like 90210 meets the original Buffy movie...with perhaps a dash of Angel sprinkled on top.
And I SWEAR I've tried. Usually, I end up falling asleep. I tried to get around that by taping it, but I ended up not paying attention anyway. It would take 2 hours to get through one episode because I kept having to rewind when I realized I didn't know what was going on.
It just doesn't connect with me in the same way. I think it's Joss's writing that appeals to me, so that could be the problem.
Wanabee-slayer is the goddess of all that is pink and fluffy in the world
