First airing in 1998 on The WB, "Charmed" tells the story of three San Francisco sisters who unexpectedly learn that they have inherited powerful magical abilities as the prophesied descendants of a centuries-old witch legacy. Together with help from the mysterious Book of Shadows that they find tucked away in their attic, the Halliwell sisters Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) learn that their purpose in life is to protect innocents from evil by honing their good witch magic.
More than just another supernatural fantasy series, "Charmed" is also something of a time capsule for the late 1990s and early 2000s. The show featured a girl-powered singer-songwriter soundtrack alongside the Halliwell sisters' tank-top-riddled outfits, which range from fabulous to criminally insane depending on the year. Part of what makes this show so charming (wink) is the fact that in between all of the demon vanquishing and spellcasting, the girls are no less focused on their everyday Xennial problems like coping with overbearing bosses while trying to get ahead in a dead-end job or learning how to communicate effectively in a relationship.
However, even with all those things working together to make "Charmed" unique, it is ultimately the relationships between family and loved ones that are at the heart of the best moments in the series. From witchy mayhem to tearjerker moments, let's take a look at the 12 most memorable scenes from the original "Charmed" series.
