At the beginning of the 2002-2003 season, TheWB seemed to introduce a new style in your grill with series focused on a family audience, away from the scheme so far we had used, while maintaining its signature series. From that time until his death in the season 2005-2006, WB will fail as major releases in a hurry and are just a few are chosen to survive more than one season.
Season 5.
WB decided to change the date of issuance of his schedule Thursday to death Sunday at the 20:00 where no production records had managed to achieve optimal, and jumped all alarms, thinking it was the expected motion to leave the series die in his day was done with Buffy and his fifth season, but nothing is further from the Actually, Charmed improved over 80% rating the chain had been making last year, up 92% in the demographic data.
serialized arc After the fourth-season asked Brad Kern to soften the plots and to return to the scheme "monster of the week" that had worked so well in the first few seasons and would allow the people adapt to time and to get caught if he had lost the odd episode. In January 2003 the figure reached the hundred chapters with a bittersweet, Julian McMahon had decided to leave the series and embark on a new project called Nip / Tuck, producers were afraid to see another major pillar of the series left the ship, but soon signed him to an unknown Eric Dane as love interest for Phoebe, a relationship that would become reality behind the cameras.
Charmed managed to increase the overall ratings compared to last season, something not usually seen in such series, and half got 4.5 million remedy TheWB hole that cost him five years effort.
6 ยช Temporada.
The hearings went, but viewers complained angrily about the direction of the frames in the fifth season and decided to turn the scheme, self-conclusive episodes with dramatic arches balanced the scales and the series did not dense, more afraid of the network.
Julian Mcmahon The hole was supplied by the actor Drew Fuller, who joined to be regular throughout the season, while Alyssa was on the crest of stardom after breaking her relationship with Eric Dane and romantically linked to Justin Timberlake. Gossips say that such was his power in the series, after breaking with the actor from Grey's Anatomy this was fulminant fired, and the truth is that his character abruptly left the series and was never heard from again.
4.3 million fans on average were still fully compatible with a WB that was beginning to suffer in the ratings and lost its position against UPN.
Season 7.
This season the producers were looking for more audience hooked to the series and decided to spend more money on well-known guest stars that appeal to the audience, the first move was the signing of Nick Lachey , which was on the show for 6 episodes and was a complete fiasco being a mere partner for Alyssa Milano. Later incorporated Kerr Smith and Billy Zane famous for a three-episode arc ending with the conclusion of episode 150 and the back by a day of Julian McMahon as Cole.
By that point the persistent rumors about the cancellation did not fail to be heard, and the feast of celebration for episode 150, Brad Kern took care to clarify that he had asked for an explanation but since Warner had been deaf, so they hastily decided to create a hybrid of season and series finale for the last episode in case TheWB its renewal was not valid.
It was expected and feared the worst, the pressure from fans and the team had issued days before the last chapter for the confirmation of renewal for the eighth season with several conditions and a drastic reduction in pay for a series that cost him dearly as a small network was TheWB. And is that the data did not help, since Charmed suffered the most erosion, passing 3.5 million fans on average, but the influence of Spelling and 7th Heaven star products on the grid were also feat.
Season 8.
smelled final, actresses and the team ended the contract and after eight years playing the same characters seemed time to end the frame, but Brad Kern insisted that he had to hurry, he wrote the first part of the season as if it were a normal and if not received any signal from the network would put all eggs in one basket in the second half give a deserved end to the series.
The trend continued last season, and signed for six episodes Jason Lewis for Phoebe's love interest, also had players recognized as Ivan Sergei and Victor Webster , which appeared to remain in the final stretch of episodes, but the signing was the most notorious of the time semidesconocida by Kaley Cuoco . Brad Kern always admitted that the orders signed by the chain so that your character will have his own series, and is already in the previous season Showrunner instructed the pilot Mermaid, a spin off created in the first chapter of the fifth season that did not work, but despite that, it seemed that the chain wanted to continue with the brand Charmed.
big changes were coming, the network had decided to end 7Th Heaven with all its pain, as after ten seasons we were unassumable their production costs, plus news broke of the merger between Warner chain and UPN, combined with poor health status of an elder Spelling and neglect of the canal, remained silent about the renovation, had all decided to finish in style whatever happened. So the last ten episodes served as epilogue to the series, and finally decided to advertise TheWB the end of the series with a countdown from Chapter 17 of the season.
It is also the fiscal adjustment was so strong that it forced to restructure work around the campus, had to fire a historical production, Dorian Gregory, who had been regular for 7 seasons, Brian Krause was only contracted for 12 episodes, not the 22 regular and executive producer, showrunner himself and much of the team members decided to voluntarily reduce their salary to the quality of the series not to find bitter.
Finally May 21, 2006 Charmed drew to a close with 4.5 million followers in the last episode and an average of over 3.6 million during his last season, getting also the title of the longest running television production with female leads and being the last survivor of his class, and the second longest running series in the short life of TheWB.
Charmed was a huge success for your station during his eight-year run, garnered a huge amount of money in international sales which surpassed the success in his native country, like Spain, where he was the most-watched foreign series during the 2001-2002 season and earned him the highest profits in its history by selling syndication rights, which led, among other things, the renewal in moments where everything seemed to believe he was about to end.
The mixture of different genres, the judicious choice of cast, unnecessary controversy and a multitude of ups and downs in front and behind the scenes make the story of Charmed one of the most complex of the history of TV.
