After shows like "Kirk" and "Nick Freno", the Warner Brothers television has evolved its primetime shows to parrellel the complex lives of its young teenage viewers which has allowed them to corner the teen market.

The WB's lastest release of "Charmed" accompanies its already sophisticated teenage programing such as "Dawson's Creek" and "Felicity".

Centered in San Fransisco, "Charmed" starring Shannen Doherty (Beverly Hills, 90210), Holly Marie Combs (Picket Fences), and Alyssa Milano (Melrose Place) is a supernatural thriller, with a dash of dark humor, involving three dysfunctional sisters.

Prune (Doherty) and Piper (Combs), who are coincidently reunited with their free-spirited sister, Phoebe (Milano), the day of a full moon, discover new magical powers passed down by their ancestor who hoped that one day the three dissendents would come together as one.
