My Thoughts:
The Packaging:I really have a love/hate relationship with this packaging. On one hand I think it is an extremely cool idea to use a replica of the Book of Shadows. And it came out great! I love the look and feel of it. And it is a perfect size with lots of pages of information you can read... including a complete episode guide for the series. But on the other hand I am not thrilled with how the actual discs are housed on the pages of the book. I fear with multiple viewings the discs will become scratched.
The Show:As most of you know already... I love this series. It is one of my all time favorite series. Sure... some seasons are better then others... but on a whole it is one of my all-time favorite shows. Because of this series I became a fan of all the actresses that have played the sisters. The discs included are the same discs released in the individual season sets. This means there is no real extras until the final season of the series. Speaking of the final season. For you fans of the Big Bang Theory out there... Kaley Cuoco (Penny on TBBT) joins the cast as a young witch that the sisters take in and train. If by chance you never seen this series... it is one I highly recommend!
Bonus Disc:Buying the complete series set is the only way to get this bonus disc. The disc includes...
Unaired Pilot:
This is a 30 minute version of the pilot episode. The main difference is that a different actress plays one of the sisters (Phoebe) and a different actor plays Inspector Andy Trudeau. It is a fun watch... though weird seeing Charmed without Alyssa Milano.
There is also a whole series of Featurettes:
- The Demons of Charmed
- Charmed Effects
- The Men of Charmed
- The Book of Shadows
- The Power of Three
- Directing Charmed
- The Making of a Monster
I haven't watched all the featurettes yet... but what I have watched so far has been interesting.
Over-all Thoughts:I originally had all 8 of the individual season sets... which I traded off to get the complete series set. And I must say... I really a glad I did. Not only is the complete set very cool... it gave me a reason to re-watch the series again. Over-all I feel the complete series set is more then worth it. I just wish the discs themselves were housed differently.
