Do you agree with the following assessment? Charmed is essentially Charlie's Angels meets The Witches of Eastwick (https://www.deseret.com/1998/10/7/19405495/if-only-charmed-didn-t-rip-off-the-witches-of-eastwick):

Holly Marie Combs = Jaclyn Smith (https://tulsaworld.com/entertainment/television/charmed-life-holly-marie-combs-talks-about-reunion-that-will-occur-at-tulsas-wizard-world/article_49ee9262-6cfa-555c-9831-ae8d704ed390.html) (stayed thru the duration of the show)

Lori Rom (https://charmed.fandom.com/wiki/Lori_Rom) = Farrah Fawcett (left the show and probably regretted it later)

Shannon Doherty = Kate Jackson (hated the sexy one and got fired by Aaron Spelling)

Alyssa Milano = Cheryl Ladd (https://charmed.fandom.com/wiki/Cheryl_Ladd) (the sexy one)

Rose McGowan = Shelley Hack/Tanya Roberts (the forgettable replacement)


With three women kicking a** and looking good while doing it, Charmed (https://cinema.usc.edu/archivedassets/097/15720.pdf) naturally drew comparisons (https://www.flavorwire.com/418449/15-years-after-its-premiere-charmed-is-better-than-you-remember) to Charlie’s Angels (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10303801/1/Charmed-s-Angels). The only difference is that the Halliwell sisters weren’t answering to a disembodied male voice. If there was any allegiance, it was to the wisdom of their matriarchal line.
