The television series Charmed is broadcast in many countries around the world, and several seasons have been released on DVD and spawned representation in other media, such as soundtracks and novels.

Syndication

The series was originally shown on the WB television network in the United States and on CTV in Canada, with independent station SunTV (originally Toronto 1) picking up the show's 8th season after CTV decided against continuing its broadcast.

Currently, the show is licensed to a number of networks in North America, with the major carriers being TNT and Canada's Showcase Diva. TNT airs four different episodes each weekday at 8:00am, 9:00am, 4:00pm & 5:00pm E/P.[1] Showcase Diva airs the same episode twice a day, Monday - Friday at 1:00 & 8:00pm ET (10:00am & 5:00pm PT).[2] Charmed is shown in the Province of Quebec in French on VRAK.TV Mondays at 9:00pm (21h00), with the same episode repeated Fridays at 6:00pm (18h00) and Saturdays at 8:00pm (20h00).[3]

Outside of North America, Charmed is broadcast in a high number of other countries and television networks, each with their own schedule for the series, and sometimes with their own title for the series. Countries where Charmed airs include the following:

DVDs

DVDs of Charmed were first released in 2005, after overcoming licensing issues with the commercial songs in individual episodes.

The first seven Charmed DVD sets contain no special features in accordance with Paramount's "no extras" policy,[23] and much to the chagrin of both the fans and of Charmed executive producer Brad Kern, who had stated many times that his efforts to persuade Paramount to include some form of extras were unsuccessful.[24] This changed in 2006, when Paramount's television DVD department was taken over by CBS, resulting in a promise that the last Charmed DVD box set would contain bonus material.[25]

The special features that have been confirmed for Season 8 include three featurettes: "To The Manor Born"; "The Making of Charmed"; and a 2-part documentary "The Story of Charmed" (which also contains some parts of the unaired pilot) and "Forever Charmed".[26] There are also expected to be cast and crew episode commentaries. In Issue 12 of Charmed magazine, Kern stated that he wanted approximately 90 minutes of extras, and would also have liked to include the unaired pilot (starring Lori Rom as Phoebe Halliwell); however, this encountered legal difficulties.[27]

Season 8 features a new opening theme, having replaced the song "How Soon is Now?" with an instrumental piece. So far, no explanation has been given for this change.

Cover art

Most regions share the same cover art; only the covers for Seasons 3, 5, and 7 have been changed from their Region 1 releases. Season 8 for Region 1 has the same picture of the three girls on the cover, but a different colored background.

The infamous chandalier, from Halliwell Manor was replaced in Season 8 with an orange globe for Regions 2-6, whereas Region 1 has a Scrying Crystal under the chandalier, which is shown above the girls.

Significant box sets

The "Book of Shadows" edition DVD collection was originally released as an exclusive to Australia (Region 4) on 16 November 2006. This limited edition run features Seasons 1-7, a numbered certificate, and includes a selection of the original illustrated pages used in the Book of Shadows prop featured in the show. A write-up of each seasons' episodes is followed by that season on six discs, which fit on one page. The book contains an extra page reserved for the separately released Season 8 DVDs.[28] This collection is being re-released on 1 November 2007 with all eight seasons included.[29]

The "Magic Chest" edition features all eight seasons, and comes in an ornate miniature wooden chest with leatherworks and a red velvet interior. It was released exclusively to Region 2 countries during March 2007.[30][31]
